The Guild Discord Server!

Note: You can access the Guild Discord here. No download is required!

August Calendar of Events

August 13th - Open Game Night
Created in hopes of accommodating those that may be mobile users and cannot buy or download certain games, Open Game Night will include games that would only require yourself and a screen (microphones are optional). Such games included at Open Game Night would include Truth or Dare, Would You Rather?, Never Have I Ever and anything in the same "vein" that may be recommended by other users. Have a list of questions you'd like to suggest? Have a game you want to suggest? Let us know here in the thread or shoot me a PM!

August 20th - Karaoke Night
The first ever Karoake Night for the Guild! The only thing that is required is a microphone and a song of your choice. Currently, there is no rules on what songs can be sung and how many people are allowed per group. Don't worry, your singing talent (or perhaps lack thereof) will not be judged at all. This event is simply for fun and that is how it will remain!

August 27th - The Guild's Labor Day Party
Details regarding this event will be released in the near future.

Have suggestions for events? PM me your ideas or leave them here in the thread. Hope to see you all on the server.

@Otaku95

It's only a rhetorical right now, but if we can get the people for it, then it's certainly a possibility between Pokemon Go and Pokemon Showdown. I definitely have some experience with competitive battling myself!

[Crayt]

I approve of this message

[Wint]

I'm all for Cards Against Humanity!
And karaoke sounds awesome!!!

[NuttsnBolts]

Not a bad idea and the app is pretty reliable.
I just turned off the pings cause they get annoying while I sleep. :P

[Cyndyr]

Apologies to the people who joined while I was gone. I was not able to welcome you personally as I was off in Canada. That being said, to the forty something people who has joined in the meantime - welcome! I'll hopefully see you around over the next few days.

With that, I'd like to say that our first Discord event will be announced tomorrow!

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I'd appreciate not expressing such dislike as it can easily create arguments. Thank you.

@Cynder

Shit, so like. This is a board game thing. Because. My, motherfucking. TOB says I should try to put some of my vague game ideas out there. I'm working on something off the top off my head called: Patriotism and Pay.

Do you guys test shit. This seem like the board that was most pertinent for something like this.

@ScreenAcne

We haven't really done "test playing before" and I hadn't considered it, but I wouldn't really be against it. If you want to set something up on the server, I can advertise it here on the thread and we can go from there if you'd like.

[ScreenAcne]

@Cynder

Shit. Sister. That sounds sweet. I ain't finished all the graphic works yet because I just been cooking the concept into word stew. So, I'll link or post the rough draft here and. motherfucking. you guys can tell me if you like it at all.

I'll post it in a sec.

I do what I can for the community. I'll advertise it on the first post and if you want to pop into the Discord and make a channel for it, you're more than welcomed to do so.

Truth or Dare?

Tonight we will commemorate our first official held event on the Guild Discord. Tonight we will be holding Open Game Night which is essentially an event that is meant to "break the ice" between members of the Discord server. Although the Discord server has only been active for approximately two weeks, friendships have been forged and Roleplays have been developed as a result of it. We would like to continue this trend and we welcome newcomers and more shy members of the group to partake in this event.

So, what exactly is Open Game Night?

It is a night dedicated to games that all members of the Guild are able to play regardless of their situation - don't have a mic? You can still play. Don't have a computer? You can still play. Don't have a certain game or can't run said game? You can still play. Open Game Night is essentially a series of "verbal" (or text-based, if you so wish!) games such as Truth or Dare, Would You Rather?, Never Have I Ever and so on. Other online games involving Jackbox TV, Cards Against Humanity and Board Game Online are all free game as well.

We're allowing TTS shenanigans and ask that you do not take advantage of this (i.e: if it gets annoying, we'll put an end to it). If anyone wishes to set up a Tinychat or Google+ Hangout for a webcam feature, then that is entirely fine as well! Please remember that both microphone and webcam are entirely optional and we do not want to give unwarranted anxiety to any members who wish to partake.

The festivities will begin at 9 PM EST. This means 8 PM CST, 7 PM MST and 6 PM PST. There is no specific end time for Open Game Night and it can run as late into August 14th as the members wish. That's about it in regards to Open Game Night. Thank you for reading and I hope to see you all there!

Note: Open Game Night will be held in the discord_events channel.

Patriotism and Pay

Patriotism and Pay

Horizons grow and with it so does the march of our borders. With new rising suns means new bridges to people and an order of massive commercial push to our new neighbors has been decreed in royal ink and workers sweat. You, one of the few mercantile forces in the regime of your noble powers has set you forth to travel new lands, entice new customers and generate new markets.

A single market in fact, a market of your dominion and your dominion alone...sadly. You are not alone and it may take more than royal blood and politics to change that.

The Travel Plan:

Phase 1: At Home: When you first start your ship is docked at your noble lands. Granting you access to markets and materials that you do not have when out at sea. Here your money can be used to purchase goods, resources and should the worst happen, You will respawn here after paying the expense for the new vessel and crew...if you can pay.

Thankfully, the wonders of your native country offer you the goods to prepare for such barbarity and deceptions. If pirates come or clandestine tricks take place by your underhanded foreign rivals. You can arm yourself with a variety of weapons and items.

Your docks like any other have unfavorable elements. Pirates, cartels, spies and mercenaries. It is said such men are lured by coin and not honor or patriotism, a concept as foreign as your enemies I Dread ever using them as your foes do...as you're above such aggression, I'm sure.

Some things cannot be purchased here, such things are indicated with the word “Exclusive” and require you to have control over that unique country.

Phase 2: The Voyage: At this point you will pick a route to steer your gloriously appointed ship. A, B and C will determine your stops both on the known and unknown world. In which you will have the chance to encounter and deal with many folk. Trading resources is a must as your currency is unrecognised by the stubborn, primitives that litter the alien coasts.

You will move once every turn to the next location. Here, word and vision of your trades and dealings will be seen by your rivals, unless should you bargain in secret for favours and influence. It is not unusual for powers to change after all.

Phase 3: Return Trip: After you have reached the tip of the world, known now as the Ice Pole. You will immediately be stream lined in a single turn back to your noble beginnings. Repeating the phases once more. If you have bargain for the nations to close borders, act or add barriers. Here they will do so. Nation reactions will occur now.

Your Cargo:

Your cargo space is limitless and by limitless, one means that your halls have more peasant labour in them than half the rural land combined. All for the purpose assuring that the plentiful riches that you will undoubtedly amass will be safely delivered back to your masters.

Cargo holds your cards. Anything such as rice, spice, gold or even people require a cargo card. Should your ship be plundered or even destroyed you will lose all your cargo cards. Cards state how much they are worth on them, as they can be purchased. Sometimes cards can even be taken forcefully should such people display themselves too irresponsible to keep their property.

Actions and Sales:

The use of pirates and underhanded dealings is strictly forbidden by honour and by law. Of course, seamen are of a lawless sort and the sea itself is of a temperament. Anything can happen on the waves and...if it were to be bargain for off them. Whom to know.

Pirates and mercenaries can be lured with money or information to scurry out in their shabby sea shacks to harass the scoundrels of your competing captain. Dealing possible untold havoc with sinking their ship, killing their crew and grabbing their cargo. However they take gold to persuade.

And if you have not gold then information. What is in a man stores is unknownst to you. However, they would be known to a man on the ship, perhaps a man who's heart is in another pocket. Your pocket. The one with the wallet in it. Should you hire a spy. One will immediately board your rival ship next time they are in dock(phase 1) granting you knowledge of all their cards and their deals.

Such knowledge can be used to urge pirates and mercenaries to attack instead of paying them. If you can provide that it will be worth the haul. Even dirty thieves need to have triple their return for phantom, probable returns.

Ah, politics. It is the soft hand that toils the field of many great nations. Primarily sowing mistrust and confusion for those outside the loop. Countries can be provided with enough goods or even foreign land to make certain choices. Like forbid certain goods, or disallow armed ships. Maybe even declare certain nations unwelcome at all.

All nations are fickle. They rarely act without resources. Gun, men, labour and goods. What one needs and one demands is up to their sordid affairs and moods. But appeasement is the punishment of dealing with politics.

There are many tools, forces and things to use. All whom are detailed their effects in cards, much like your cargo.

Your Bank:

Where the great finances for your voyage take place. Your bank is simple, spend or obtain money its get higher or lower. If you go bankrupt, you lose. That's it. After all, what use is a salesman that can't even afford his own meals.

If you, however manage to reach 10000 you have won, Achieving the financial dominance that your country had demanded of you. At this point your competitors will be green with envy and pale with despair. Success is a train and you have the momentum now. Of course, being so rich that you can bribe even their...incorruptible leaders to charge them with sabotage helps.

Your Goal:
Domination. All men should seek to increase ones holding, but before you snatch your muskets and start marching. Remember, we are of the civilized lands and must seek to set an example. Commercialism is the game. Each nation that is currently trading the most with you is consider under your control.

Granting you, a control point. How do you maintain control when you can both trade with a nation. Simple, sell more of what they want. Buy more of what they don't. Become the preferred seller and buyer. Become perhaps even...a friend of the union. And they will be yours. Of course...you can always just persuade them to block other rivals to their market.

Should one have the audacity to do this to you however. Bribes....or threats tend to work. A lot of money or guns hold great sway on even the stiffest of flags.

Control points are counted at the end of the Era: 15 return routes.

===========================================================================================

Example BETA cards:

Shit. I ain't too good at art. These cards are just examples and throw aways for prototypes. I got an art, sister who agreed to do some pictures if this gets passed beta.





At the moment. I'm just seeing who's on board. I got one person ready to test. I'll need maybe 2 or 3 more. If I get them. I'll expand on all the stuff here and start doing the proto-type graphics.
