Who would have interest in a game-focused Chaos guild?

[spirit]

I'm going to be setting up a chaos warrior company as soon as we get more info from MJ about how chaos will work, as in if we will be cultists or warriors, humans or daemons etc. but for now I would like to see who would have interest.

The guild will be focused mostly on teh actual game itself rather than being an RP-centric guild, but those who ahve an interest in RP can RP if they so wish.

By saying you are interested it does not guarantee you an immediate place in the guild, more like a provisional license. I don't want idiots or people I don't like in my guild, so remember to play nice.

Oh and to any RPers, no powerplaying daemonic warlords with twin katanas, and try not to develop characters when Rping before game launch, as they need to be on a low level so that when you start the game you don't suddenly find yourself no longer as "Kahn the mighty" but as "Kahn the mildly irritating"

It will definitely be chaos undivided, so any God can join, although I of course expect animosity between camps worshipping rival gods.

[Corellion]

Not me, I think this early guilds should be focused on bonding and creating strong ties within them. Not the game.

[Bob]

I might join, it would depend how I felt at the time. anyway I posted yes.

[Gurkhal]

Very much depends on.

There are several Chaos-guilds already, although many haven't showed up on this site yet. But I MIGHT join you later on. Don't take it as a promise however.

[Ahriman]

Hey spirit, I started a company named Wolf Pack and have a charter posted in the Warrior Guild Company Forum. Check it out and tell me if you like it. I went to games-workshop today and saw two games of Warhammer. Chaos vs Tomb Kings and Chaos vs Lizardmen. Chaos folowing Khorne owned TK and I don't know why the kid that had Beastmen lost against the Lizardmen. There were Chaos Trolls tho, they looked cool!

After talking to my buddies friend that's an assistant manager he told me that with Chaos Hordes armies any mark of chaos can be in an army. So you can have one unit of Khorne Berzerkers with a Hero/Lord, ( can't remember which one ) and a unit of Nurgle warriors that have the Gods gifts with a hero/lord in the same army!

Of course, but I mean it's a warrior company that inteds to focus on playing in the game rather than being the standard RP-centric guild on these boards. Bonding is a crucial part of any guild.

I know, I've looked at most of them, but....how should I put this. I'm not too keen on any of them in the realms of powerplaying or to be honest intelligence. Sorry to sound like an elitist (insert word here) but I want people who will be able to conquer the world, not people who would spend half their time hitting a tree.[/quote]

[dragonbait]

I remember the days when many chaotic guilds roamed the forums... like... ermmmm, you know that one that had Shadey in before i stole him to make Da Mob (what was always a laugh, though i lost 'The Tale of Two Ogres' story when my HDD died :() and of course the short lived Court of the Rogue Phoenix, what was a wierd little cult.
Anyway wouldnt want to join a chaos guild (being semi leader of an elf guild and all) but wouldnt mind seeing some in the game to /snarl /spit /glare at :D

Also the way i got around the whole "Kahn the mighty" thing was have my main character as a nice high level but also have sub characters (his three sons) and a few characters i used in RP as lower ones aswell. BUT as your all chaos boys then its simple how you play an uber character here and then go back to common idiot when game comes out...

Simply...

The cult you formed did something or failed your chosen god or daemonic lord who then gave you an almighty /slap and removed all the blessings he/she has betowed upon you and maybe a bit more and you have to rework your way up his/her little ladder to get the rank of good little minion again :D, or of course sway your favour from that god/daemon to anoughter and work your way for them.

Or something like you chose to summon one of your masters highest daemons and it went very very wrong and ended up crippling you all or stipping you of your powers.

----------------------

One thing though, is your guild going to be openly chaotic or is it going to be the top X ammount of members are privy to the knowledge that they are doing the bidding of the dark gods, and the rest just think they are in a strange section of one of the knightly orders or a secret society or club that is just a little excentric.

[Rabbitman]

Not interested in an in-game guild this early, but if you'd have me, which i sincerely doubt, i would be more than happy to rp a character that is of evil persausion and of musclebound/small-brained minion nature.

That, my dear fellow all depends on how MJ and his boys at climax do chaos, which is why I said I am waiting till info is released for chaos before actually starting, this is jsut to get an idea of interest.

And to Rabs, its not starting "this early" Im waiting till theres a fair bit of info to base it around. I'd be happy to have you later on if you want to join. But i still reserve the right to /slap you out during your probation period :P

[Rabbitman]

But i still reserve the right to /slap you out during your probation period :P

*Fingers hand-print on cheek*

Yeah... That's the same with most guilds I join...

So, you don't want to start this early?
Come on... i want to RP my minion already!

[spirit]

As said, Iw ant this to be a guild that canb e easily transferred to the game, so I don't want to start until some definite groundwork for chaos is set out.

[Barrachus]

Well I wouldn't want to join any chaos guild. Seeing as my character has a deeply rooted hatred for everything chaos.

However I think it would be a very good idea. Always need some new enemies to kill, that sort of thing.

Good luck.

[Sircyn]

I'd be interested in an in game focused Chaos company, not to join but I'd certainly have an interest. I'll get in touch with ye giggles and sound you out on something, see if you're interested.

[spirit]

Out of interest would the 8 people who voted yes either post saying who they are or PM me or something so I actually nkow who the hell they are?

[Corellion]

Barrachus, might it occur to you to have more than one character?
Giggles, I PM'd you. I voted no though. Make it into a giant bubble fruit gum bat.

[Barrachus]

well yes it might, but my character is kind of a reflection of me. Apart from the sadistic evil. And the taking pleasure in killing things...

[Corellion]

.....fool. Just have another character.

[Kazek]

Just for the record; are you lads EU or US based?

I have a strange feeling that they might ally DE to Chaos, so I'm toying with the idea of allying or even merging my guild with a Chaos guild, should my premonitions turn out to be true..

[Corellion]

EU, if want to discuss guild actions, then we're open to listening. If a merge is on your mind, then give me a pm, and I'll discuss it over with giggles, alliances too.

[spirit]

Oh yeah, probably should mention that: Corellion and Myself are running this as a duo, watch out for us

[Corellion]

But not in that way.....
Actually, we should be up and about soon. Watch this space.

EDIT: The Sons of Chaos are now up and running. Giggles, you go offline at the most inoppurtune of times.

Theres the link, get there now.

[Mordus]

Though I like RP,I agree with the "Kahn" issue.It's stupid yelling "Mortal armies bow before my might" while being lvl1 and getting beat up by a wolf!...Anyway...I'm in for the Guild (Unless I turn to Dark Elves) and please mail me for any kind of help! (Guild name,backround,character names etc...Also,I'm studying 3D Animation,it's not much as I'm in the first cemester but,for now,it could be very helpful if we were to create our guild's web page) [mail me at "dawn_of_chaos@hotmail.com"]

[Kutulu]

As someone accurately observed, the posturing has begun. To that end, I don't think it's odd, or misguided to begin - shall we say - the marketing campaign for potential guilds. We know the game is *supposed* to be out in 2007, and I think I read that beta is planned to start in mid to late 2006. That's not THAT far away... and, I'm confident that all of us here are signed up for the official newsletters, and we're all hoping to get spots on the beta. Experience shows that the guilds that get a good head start, have (potentially) an easier time at keeping the momentum.

And - part of that marketing campaign is role playing. Players can begin to develop their characters... and at the very least... the personalities of these characters and relationships between characters can be developed...
Now.. specific classes.. or skill sets... or what not... those will surely be in flux, based on what is available in the game... come go time. And, although we will all start at "level 1" (or equivalent, if skill only based)- that's not to say that well developed characters with existing stories can't carry a large bit of that content into the game - - when the game starts, you can basically flip back a few chapters in your story and Act Out what you've already crafted. Just my two cents.

That being said - from what I see on these forums so far - we've already got a number of potential in-game guilds. Spirit and Corellion have the Sons of Chaos - and from the many people involved in the RP - looks like they could grab a number of recruits off the bat. I'm starting the Unholy Legion - my slightly different spin on the same Chaos Undivided ideal. How these two potential guilds interact will depend immensely on how the rules of the game are programmed. I can't wait to get more details! I'm in Texas - so we're looking at a fair time difference between us - that may minimize the interaction between the two guilds (in the beginning)(assuming we all log on in the afternoons/evenings).

Anyhow - it will be interesting - and I'm looking forward to it.

Go Chaos!!! *coughs* Ahem....
----
Despair! For the Unholy Legion grows like a malignant cancer upon your world! The Empire and all its allies will soon reek of decay.... the decay of innocence.... the rot of love... the loss of peace... the anti-thesis of creation! The Dark Lords WILL make your world a realm of Chaos!
----

*cough*
Yay Chaos.



Cordially,
Kutulu Xul

[Nenimeindrol]

List me up as candidate, as I'll be playing chaos atleast. (if mounts are in, chaos knight.. otherwise chaos sorceror)

[Kutulu]

out of character-
Good to have you on the team, Nenimeindrol - I'm interested in playing a chaos knight too; I'm sure Mythic will include mounts, since they were such a popular addition to DAoC. Looks like you've got plenty of MMO experience too, which will really come in handy. I grew up on MUDs - and have been playing DAoC and RoE lately.

in character-
Ahh, yes. Excellent. The tidal forces of entropy are already rising against the shores of peace. It is inevitable that the Empire will fall. None shall escape. There is no hope. The End Times have come.

[spirit]

The forces of the Unholy Legion are weak and misguided. In time they will come to realise that that following in the wake of the Sons of Chaos is the only way to victory. We are the chosen, the legion are merely followers.

[Kutulu]

Thus, it is only right we revere them, it is only sense that we should give thanks to them.
You too, venerate the dark lords? You wish to gain their favour, like you would if you were their son? Then my Friend, join us.

Yes. Join the Sons of Chaos. Join them if you want to feel good about yourself, warm fuzzy feelings, and friendship. Join the Sons of Chaos if you want to entertain the delusion that the Dark Lords of Chaos want your thanks, or that they care in the least bit for you.

There is no room for friendship in the Unholy Legion. We are the Will of the Dark Lords of Chaos. They wish to see this world erupt in chaos. They wish to see all order and peace demolished. To them, we are nothing but tools. To us, the Dark Lords of Chaos are a means by which we may achieve a desired end. Join the Unholy Legion only if you truly celebrate chaos and death and pain. Join the Unholy Legion only if you detest all happiness.

So, to sum up-
Join the Sons of Chaos to live a life bent down on one knee before the Dark Lords of Chaos. Join the Sons of Chaos for friendship.

Join the Unholy Legion to be used as a tool in bringing about the ultimate unravelling of Order.... Join the Unholy Legion to let loose all restraints of Morality.... Join the Unholy Legion to become Chaos incarnate.

[Kias]

Nenim, pay the Unholy Legion no mind. Those who can not even begin to concieve the notion of Chaos can never hope to serve the four true gods. If it is the dark one's luck you seek, it may be in your best intentions to look elsewhere.

Maybe we could throw the dice sometime. So long as your name is not Mat, bloody, Cauthon.

[Nenimeindrol]

hehe, kias you noticed the line *grins* Every Wheel of Time series reader knows it asap, though it sounds a lot better in "old tongue" so to speak but I prefer the english version as it has universal meaning aswell not just a inside thing.

Tjaa, it seems there was a small confusion.. i'm intrested in spirits faction. Should have quoted the topic's first post but I though it was clear that if I say enlist me here... it means this guild what owns the topic so to speak, didn't take into account our UH legion's post above me.

[spirit]

The Dark Lords need us only as tools, only as vassals for their power. however without us, they are nothing. They are the elements of human passions, and without human passions, they do not exist. With no anger, there is no Khorne. With no cunning, there is no Tzeentch. With no diseased, the is no Nurgle. With no lust, there is no Slaanesh. As such, we venerate them for the gifts they give us, and in return they bless us to keep their followers.

Happiness is not to be detested, lord Slaanesh shows us that. Happiness and love of the self are things to be embraced, welcomed with open arms and sought for throughout life. It is only by satisfying our own pleasures that we can advance further. unleash rage at a whim, use cunning to your own ends, spread pestilence to weaken your enemies, make love to keep yourself pleasured. It is all part of Chaos. To show emotion, that is Chaos. To let loose, that it Chaos. Hiding your true self is Order, something to be despised and hated with all the emotion Khorne can provide.

You promise the power of the daemon prince to all your followers, saying they shall become Chaos incarnate, yet only that blessing is only for the select few. If the blessing of such power were given to everyone, we would have balance...we would have order. To create all things equal means that there is no unbalance of power, no conflict. With no conflict there is no Chaos.


Always exercise effeciency, prudence, frugality and patience.

THESE are the teachings of order. To care about efficiency leads to structure. To care about prudence lacks release of emotion. To practice frugality is to ignore the teachings of Slaanesh. To excercise patience is to hold back emotion, and is against the very teaching of Chaos.





OOC: Nenim, it is good to see interest from you. Please visit the sons of Chaos thread sometime...and ignore some of the inane babble that goes on there.

[ayeam]

I know you as giggles, you know me as Ramhez. I would be interested in a chaos guild for both the game and pre-game roleplaying or whatever you want to call it. Myself and Cap'n Jake once had a chaos guild of our own. It was, in fact, the most totally awesome guild ever - the Carnival of Corruption, certain people may remember it. I think you actually applied to join, giggles? Did you join? Meh, I can't remember. Anyway, yes. I'm interested - but generally I only join guilds because they are brilliantly formed, particularly original or have members that I like and would enjoy being associated with. Since people that I like are something of a minority group I am, as I type this, beginning to doubt that I will join. But you never know, eh?

[Rabbitman]

Ooh, I remember the Carnival... had forgotten you were invloved in it though Ramhez... hey, any chance you've found the Off Topic forum yet, if your apprentice Anaris is anything to go by, you'll feel quite at home...

[Kutulu]

The forces of the Unholy Legion are weak and misguided. In time they will come to realise that that following in the wake of the Sons of Chaos is the only way to victory. We are the chosen, the legion are merely followers.

* The more death, destruction and chaos you bring - the less hope there will be in the world.

It's quite simple.
The Unholy Legion will bring to bare a force of immeasurable entropy against the pathetic forces of Order and Love. Should the Sons of Chaos act in any way that allows the forces of Order and Love to establish their forces, while Spirit and his friends chase after mis-prioritized targets, then I doubt the Dark Lords of Chaos will be pleased. They may soon find themselves to be the Unwanted Stepchildren of Chaos. Beyond that, the Unholy Legion applauds every life they take. May the carnage commence.

Aye I joined the carnival, for the short while it lasted. Twas fun, and a good roleplay, but alas the powers that be decided that the few would not carry on the roleplay, and it was doomed for all eternity.

The Sons are of course brilliantly formed, with my overpowering masculinity and brilliant tactical mind, and Cor's feminine charms and...stuff, we have crafted a guild the likes of which has never been seen. And of course you love me Ramhez, so that fulfills the liking people in it. As for originality, it's one of the few game-focused guilds to be made for this, and is the only cultist-marauder alliance guild I've ever seen.

[Etzador]

It's not the best of ideas to recruit anyone who says yes, when i was stupid i did that and ended up hating most people in the guild. I did have a really cool clan on Halo 2 though.

[Corellion]

Well, Ramhez, you've always been known for some top class writing and being instrumental in the devlopment of good guilds, so you're welcome to take a peek at the sons of Chaos.
Giggles, if you ever call me feminine again, I will kill you. (I do like saying that)
Kutulu, you're amusing, kudos. I mean that in a good way too.
