All right, so are the Geomancers normally strict concerning decorum and punishment for violating even smaller laws? What of Nihilists and Ur'Guard? I know about the Cacophony, I'm in it...

Your going to have to be more specific.

As in, is their sense of decorum and requirements upon maturity rather high? Or is it a bunch of idiots acting stupid and don't much care about punishing people.

I take it you haven't met Aiakon... I'm still confused as to what your actually asking about. Geomancers are expected not to act like idiots, yes. What happened? Or do you want to join? Either way, you should have asked IG about this information.

Ur'Guard are strict - We expect the grunts to behave like Seal Team 6, Delta Force or Army Rangers. Just so you have an idea. You do what you are told and if you are told to go be a meatshield so that someone else can accomplish something, we do not expect you to say anything but yes sir. (Granted now a days alot of the ur'guard have become more relaxed, there are a few I personally would have kicked out since they claim not to fight, but since one in particular does do alot of work with novices, he hasn't been booted)


Geomancers are insane - The gibberish rantings of Aiakon and the following of the Earth Lords, have made then crazy But I think one of their main focuses are how to use a demesne, from making one, to maintaining it. How best to use effects, etc. Without decent, competent Geomancers a raid, or even a defense attempt will fail miserably.



Nilly's - I can't speak much of them I do not know enough. All I can basically guess at is that they are a weaker form of the Celestian version known as Celestines. But please, any nihilists, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I know they are good at beckoning, passive afflictions, damage with their demons and symbols, lusting and empressing other players out of harms way and getting people places via tarot. But like I said I am not familiar with them really.

Nihilist have a bunch of titles, and you have to be respectful and not an idiot.

I think any guild will expect you to have a high level of acceptable maturity... though nowadays I see/hear a lot of people being lazier on that. But yes, the warriors in Mag seem to be especially strict... this is from my outsider point of view.

And he asked about decorum and punishment, let's not get into the Celestines vs. Nihilists, whose horse has been beaten so much that its decaying organs are now spilling out of its mouth.

Basically any non-Seren guild will enforce some kind of decorum standard. The level varies, though; the ur'Guard are notorious for strictness and discipline whereas, say, the Aquas are more lax.

(And before all the Seren jump on me, I'm referring to the Moondancer "skyclad tradition".)

I haven't seen a lot of that recently...really.

Since we're asking about Magnagora here...I have a question or two.

1) Are city favours handed out for silly reasons? And done so three or four times to one individual per day?

2) How is CT? Is it filled with nonsense and bragging individuals?


P.S. No one flame me for asking these questions. They are NOT meant offensively towards anyone and no names were mentioned purposely. So, please don't mention any.

I honestly want to know. I'm thinking about playing someone from Magnagora. IF it's better than what I'm playing now.

Edit: Because, I can't spell nonsense right on a first try!

No, CT and CF's are normally handled maturely. Just some people can be idiots, and I get annoyed at a lack of maturity.

I mean, and no disrespect to Celest and Serenwilde, but I had alts there and was shocked by the snuggly BS (Serenwilde) and the stupid conversations such as I am level 52 YAY!!! and the whole ct going yay!! (Celest). But maybe I was just on when some of the other village idiots were out... But almost every time I logged in to Seren or Celest, someone was being either A. Snuggly or B. Bragging/Whining

Disclaimer- I did not sit there for hours nor am I referring to any of the clan lines for defense or raiding in either commune/city... Also the times I am referring to in Celest were times Shamarah, Malicia, Thoros and Vesar were NOT online. I know none of them really stand for that type of stuff on the CT and have seen them lay a smack down on people for it.

qft

Magnagoran CT is easily the most mature ( or most empty...but I'd rather it be that than full of pointless nonsense )

Like any guild, the Ur'Guard has its ups and downs regarding strictness. I've always held the "work hard and play hard" attitude paralleled to the guild itself. More bluntly, there's a decent amount of teasing and sarcasm among the elder guildmembers. That said, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a stricter guild in any IRE game regarding idiocy and nonsense (again it fluctuates based on the leaders and the like). If you're messing up, you're rear is handed, and summarily dismissed if you get my meaning.

The geomancers have tended to exude a smidgen of insanity, founded by their guild tutor's odd behaviors and dialect. Traditionally, they have been the most relaxed guild, but in the past year they have gradually gotten more strict out of necessity.

Nihilists are a decent medium. Devout I suppose you could say given their studious nature regarding the demon lords and the cosmic plane of Nil, and as with most guilds they don't put up with excessive idiocy.
===========
Regarding Magngoran CT, necessity brings up a majority of the dialogue. Every once in a while some retard goes nuts and feels the need to be less than dignified on the city's aether, but there's really little you can do about those rare lumps of flesh. Oh and Yuniko.. you really need to stop misaethering on CT

Cityfavours are earned for listed efforts. There are many things you can do to earn one, and you get favoured rather quickly.

Aye,

Magnagora wouldn't put up with people like Jigan half the time. Of course, Jigan is only reasonable half the time, so it works out.

The snuggly and stuff only happens on occasion. Almost once an hour, if that. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

In Celest's defense, people try to be more "Good for you!" rather than "That's nice, now leave me alone."

More or less I wanted to know about the Geomancers mostly. I've seen their skill lists and I'm rather entertained by the thought of having that much power. After all, Bards are weak, and I would hope that things would be strict there unlike in my guild. That's more or less my reasoning for wanting to know so badly...

Oh and Ild, Seren's CT wasn't really "snuggly" during my time there. Rather, I would say their CT was usually friendly and warm, as well as youthful. During the war there was a lot of controversy and what I would call ignorant remarks made, but I suspect that could happen anywhere.

Yeah I was there when Reiha and I had bets who could make a gay faeling alt and see how fast it took Kalodan to hit on us.... and that was before the war... but they wierdness I saw in my "gay fae" form had me run back to Mag.

I don't find the Geomancers to be any stricter than the Cacophony.

I say this because I think you're confusing our focus on allowing novices to be creative (Being a guild that's focused on performing) with lack of discipline. Enforcing titles up to GR3 doesn't make for discipline. I honestly wish you'd be more open minded and give the Cacophony more of a chance than simply leaving because you don't agree with some of the Roleplay focus I've put in, acting as administrator.

I say that without any malicious intent, as I completely understand why you might be frustrated with the way I'm doing things right now. I'm different enough to my character to sympathise with your complaints. (And keep in mind I had/have a reputation for being someone who was amazingly hard on others, behavioural wise. I imagine a large number of people can still tell you that. Especially concerning novices, where I've been asked to be nicer to them whilst serving as novice aides and such.)

That having been said, I enjoy a lot of the Roleplay of the Geomancers, which expects a lot more of you than our fledgling guild does, behaviour wise.

Ur'Guard tend to be a bit stuffy for me, as there's generally not enough interaction within the guild to have a RP basis for the discipline they have in place, though I know Zalana and Chade are both strong leaders, who will no doubt improve on this.

Aww, I liked the skyclad tradition. I thought it was a nice touch to differentiate forest folk from civilised folk. That was before the arrival of the Glooms though so now it's just a Seren thing.
