Aye fairy muff, makes sense.

*gasp* Yoooouuuu'rrre rrrruuuuuude!

Come to think 'o it i am not so sure either!

Time consuming does not sound like a very wise thing to be honest...

yeah, time is money... I think?

You think right.

I voted no as i think it would be better if E.P.O.C.H stayed more independent.

Sorry for the lack of update. I have been looking at the forums but it's just so dull! *Groan*. I've brought up the issue of activeness on our forums though they say that they are too busy and so I've posted up an idea of a cross-guild RP. I'm awaiting their responses now.

You're asking them to put in more of an effort on our boards? I hope they took that as a the well meaning request I'm sure it was, and not a criticism. Did they say what was keeping them busy? Or is it a secret??

I told them in a very well meaning way that didn't bring any offense I'm sure. Though as the GTC are one of our most revered allies and with all the other members from other guilds popping all over the shop, I've found it strange that the GTC refrain from coming over. And I'm sure it's just lack of activity in general though I'm not entirely certain.

I remeber somthing about the lack of post's over there at GTC, also if they don't have a tight knit group or strong leadership it might not occur to them to do it ....

Right, here is my idea for the GTC RP:

The Deubus Contract

“When a space station ‘Deubus’ in the outer rim is hijacked by asteroid miners on strike, the mining corporation ‘Gemstone’ who owns the station hires bounty hunters and smugglers to end the strike in any way they can, though the space station must remain intact. The bounty hunter and criminal guilds, Agents of the E.P.O.C.H and the Galactic Trade Commission are the only two organisations that receive the contracts along with several freelancers. As allied guilds, the EPOCH and GTC work side by side to get the job done quicker. But, will the pact between the guilds hold? Is the Deubus contract as innocent as it sounds? And what is so special about the space station? It’s a matter of life, death, teamwork and mystery in the Deubus Contract.”


Ta daa!

As I've already said this is a great idea! It's got a really cool concept too.

I'm going to have to wait for Torgal though and what with the newletter and guild database, I doubt that this will go up any time soon...

Aye I'm in no rush for this because to be honest the Prax and HofD asked first for some crossover RP, so really it's first come, first serve. Plus I don't really want to bog us too down in work as I'm sure a lot of us have enough going on as it is. Still, I'm really looking forward to it.

Lots of interest over at the GTC, about 5 people are up for it already! I don't want to lose this interest by making the start date far away... Hmmm...

Well you're quite welcome to start it mate but I won't be able to participate I'm afraid. I'm all running one story, participating in another and I'm just about to start oen over here, not to mention I'll probably be starring in the HofD one if they create it.

I've just noticed that a few people over at the GTC arel asking about the crossover RP and where it will be held. This is the plan that I think best suits everyone and its one that I put to HofD the other day:

We will hold both an RP over here for them to take part in (preferably Harly's as I liked the background), and if you could mate can you ask them to start work on one for us over there and if thats ok?. It won't be for a while because the HofD asked first and it's first come, first serve.

I also would like you to tactfully as you possibly can, explain that we're quite strict on our roleplaying rules over here, because lets face it no one likes seeing messy RP like this:

Creed says: Gimme my money you @%&#!
Rodian says: No way I hate you!

They shoot & everyone dies.

LOL! You laugh but I've seen it!!!

We write our RP like stories NOT text messages and the time and the effort really shows in the end product. If you're not going to spend time like everyone else in this guild does with RP then really you shouldn't be included.

So yeah if you can mention that we are VERY strict on our roleplaying rulles without making it sound too off-putting then that would be great. You could even point them toward soem of our RP for a reference if you like?

Erm Harly I hardly call this tactful LOL!:

Sureshot has warned me of some "crazy RP" going on here and I'd ask you if you are to go along with this, that we have none of that.

Thats about as subtle as a brick through glass! Although i have to admit I am wetting myself here!

Seriously though can you change that cause that looks like I've been bitching about the RP over there and to be honest it don't look good. I was actually reffering to less experienced RP guilds as well and not the GTC per sé.

LMAO! Classic!

Hahaha! It's ok I think I've ironed things out a bit:

I'm so glad that was the GTC and not one of our other allies! Hahaha!

Ooops, my mistake!

And I've updated the main post...

Hahaha, tactful indeed.

Question: Is Torgal Greek?

Yes he is.

Ah ok! Just curious because he replied on Youtube as "Torgaloukos" and his facebook page is littered with friends with greek surnames (I was checking out the GTC Facebook page). However, I think we've already agreed that we don't need a facebook page and I think most of us don't use it...

I started that Facebook GTC page.

Yeah he and Raistlin are Greek I think.
