This is a message about a new Guild I'm forming. I'm posting this here because not as many people read the RP forum as they do the General one, but if Forum Moderator feels this thread should be moved/deleted, go ahead.

Anyway, if some of you heard my ("2seraph's") rant on 100 about Eo, that backstory, and the situation of the races in the current war, this is my Guild-manifesto of those ideas. We're looking for members to create the infrastructure of the Guild, and to learn more, you can visit the thread I've posted on the RP forum:
http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/7/10488

As for this thread, this is obviously a "weird" kind of Guild because it takes a whole different view of the war. I wanted to create an alternative to the basic, militant, or trade-based Guild by creating an "idealist" Guild—one of both belief and action, with a little bit of monastic flavor for good measure.

Also, thanks to all those who posted on the "Guild site details" thread I posted awhile ago. http://www.secondseraph.com/eospath is the fruit of that conversation, and I hope that you guys enjoy the Guild's website as I did making it—if only for its aesthetics and cool, mystical content. (Seraph loves to design websites)

If you have questions about the Guild's website or the the Guild itself, don't hesitate to ask me. If they're more in-character (i. e. "You pacifist Itani dogs!"), please post them in the Role-Playing thread. If you want to join the Guild, message me at either thread or in-game. Thanks all!

nice idea for a guild somthing a little new insted of the standered pirate/trader kind of thing like you said, but if as i understand it you won't participate in ctc or capship events and allso you won't be doing all that much pvp if i may ask whats the point of the game with those aspects removed?

i meen the rp aspect is brillent it whould be very interesting to have the guild around. i'm just wondering what your guild members whould do (asides from an alt) when they wish to do somthing other than rp.

Simply put, we trade, we mine, we sharpen our skills in duels, mentor other players, converse about pertinent issues, and hunt bots. Just about everything that's NOT ctc and capship battles* (and there's a lot of it), we participate in.

And with things like the Hive, which are all about conquest and humanity's (inevitable) destruction anyway, we'll be forced to fight against them. The Serco, UIT, and Itani are going to have a common enemy soon; we're the first step to uniting them against that enemy. It's just a different way to look at the universe. We certainly don't do nothing all day.

*as for capships, players aren't barred from entering the capships and protecting them from bots as they travel through space. They are barred from killing other players or NPC's in them. We're willing to let the member decide how they treat the capships, hence the gray area on that Guideline.

Because people in-game are expressing interest in joining the Guild, even wanting to join already, I'd like to bump this so that people know this is not a vapor-Guild and so people still have information about it available.

Thanks. ^_^

i haven't been able to finde you online, is there a general trent to when you are on, that would make my attempts more effective?

I tend to be online during the evenings of Eastern Standard time, 6-9 PM. I think that's minus 3 hours GMT. That's on weekdays. On weekends, I'll sometimes play for hours, but mostly during the evenings.

We could arrange a meeting time, Lord Q. I don't know what timezone you're in, but I'm sure we could figure a something out. Generally, however, evenings (sometimes late evenings, EST) are my best playing time.

(this also goes for anyone who wants to find me, "2seraph", but hasn't yet. I tend to say "2seraph logs on" whenever I enter, so you should see me on 100.)

ok, i'll try to catch you, then, i'm in edt right now as well so, it should be easy enough.

[edit] ok, you have me down so don't worry about finding me ingame

Hey everyone, we've almost got enough people to do it. Six people have already told me they're set on joining (a mix of races, too), and four others are either interested or decision-pending. If those last four—and anyone else who'd like to come forward— can give me their decisions, we have our first ten. (Lord Q, I'm assuming your [edit] meant that you're in, yes?)

I'm thinking a late afternoon, EST meeting time on a Saturday would be best for all of us. Perhaps, 5:00? 4:00? It'll be afternoon in the west and late evening in Europe. I know one or two of our members is EST, aside myself, but I want to make this as convenient as possible for all of us. Please post back.

I hope to get this thing started either this week's end or next week's end, depending on the strength of our numbers. I'll be going on a four-week vacation soon, and I'd like us to start the Guild before so we don't have to wait four weeks to have our commander online. If this doesn't work out, I'll figure something out with one of our members.

But for the rest who haven't given me a clear decision on joining, or is thinking about but hasn't said anything, now's the time. And if you're not sure, you can always /join and /leave until you're fully sure you want to join "permanently". In the case we don't have all our people online, I'd like people to help us out getting to that magic 10 number (I did the same for the Peacekeepers).

Well you know i am in. (i am Baraka Ditari) when you have the ten people just post the date and i will be there. By the way i will be gone on vacation until to June 13. so some time after that would be good :)

i hope you didn't count me twice, i'm M'at in game, and yes i am in.

Haha, okay, I'll make that list-adjustment ^_~

hey its me ... baraka ditari. almost got the ten people yet?

Almost. And with that said:

************IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Guild Creation time is here!****************

We're creating the Guild this Saturday, June 18th, at 4:00 PM EST. Everyone who said they will join the Guild, PLEASE be online at this time so we can create the Guild.

This is about the only time we can do this too, at least with me heading it, because I'm going on a 4-week summer trip the following week. I won't be there after this to communicate with people or create the Guild, so I personally am up against a wall. We're just one or two people shy of the needed Guild, so if there are a few of you that want to help create the Guild—either do the /join /leave operation with an alt, or stay with us permanently, we'd love your help. I did the same for IGPK, and my personal opinion is that helping someone create a Guild is a very honorable thing to do.

We're also open to people joining the Guild as a different character. A few of our members are already doing this.

Thanks all!!

who all is going to join? all i know of is Lord Q , you and me.

For now I'd like to keep the list confidential, just so people who may be in other guilds (which I don't know for sure) won't get flak from others. I'll tell you in-game. School's out for me now, so I'll try to be online more often.

cool......
hope to see you in game later

Guys, I have some bad news. I will not be able to start the Guild today.

I have too many responsibilities at the moment, too many things to get ready for this four-week trip. I would start it afterwards, but I'm not even sure if I can keep my commitment to play this game constantly like some of you do.

So, that said, do not expect me to be online today at 4 PM. If you guys feel you have enough players to start it, go ahead without me. I'll try to remember to check back after this trip is done, and start the guild then. But I'm not sure if I can keep playing this game much longer.

Sorry, guys.

-2seraph

i'd be willing to satart the guild as an acting commander, but i have no idea who els was interested. if anyone wants to try and start now you can /msg "M'at" ingame, once i get the 10 i can start the guild. otherwise we can wate for Seraph

We were not able to start the guild Eo's Path today.... But we are going to try it again june 19 at 4 oclock Eastern daylight time... please contact me (/msg "Baraka Ditari") or mesage (/msg "M'at") in game if you have any questions or would like to join at that time.:)

Thank you

Thanks guys, and I'm glad you were able to go for it.

If you guys want the list of members, I can put it on the website and give you a link.

I really appreciate your understanding in this.
