(( Much, gimme a couple of turns to insult you and kill or imprison you and half your guild. Then you can work on killing me all you like.

You'll fail of course but you can try  ;) ))

''Th-the alliance is formed then.'' Matthias's fighters were a little astonished at this more bashful leader. ''If you're merely out to get at someone, then you can leave the policy decisions to me!''
Matthias quickly turned and left, as neatly as any guy can in side-stepping the date.


''So uhh... why not the date, sir?'' One of the fighters asked on the way back.
''Not many can say they've gone with the fire rogue!'' The other piped up, laughing as if she was a target.
''Mmmm, yes... dating someone, with a lowered guard, to someone who's an expert at backstabbing and subtle kills is such a smart move.'' Matthias responded, sarcastically. ''We've just formed an alliance with a prominent guild, one who's art is in subterfuge. Once the alliance is tested can such fraternisation even be considered. For now, I can relax the men from checking their backs every night.''
''Soooo... it has nothing to do with being caught out with the offer?'' A fighter that had been with Matthias from day 1, asked cheekily.
''None at all...''

Kylie leaves for the guild masters room and sees that, as usual, there are reports all over.

((Here I was, signing up for the only currently available game that had rules that explicitly made roleplaying give you no benefits whatsoever in hopes that my abysmal writing ability would go unnoticed... and still these people manage to go off on a tangent to make a completely useless alliance, flooding the thread with their flowing, envy-inspiring paragraphs of talky stuff in the process.

I would make an alliance with you, but I have three problems.

1. I'm busy trying to off my traitorous guildmate.

2. I'm crazy.

3. I want your guild to go die in a fire.

Well, I'd sign up, but there's a madman after me.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

I was actually willing to cooperate. You're the one who immediately tried to assassinate me.

((Sheesh, I know, I hate Rping, myself.

As for the Meta stuff, Alexandria seems to be doing a good job of keeping people in check, I have some more stuff to do today before I can start on an update, and I'm pretty sure there's a person or too that needs to post still, anyway.

Thanks everyone for being better about locations and whatnot. When I'm back I'll tell you all about some of the more advanced stuff like upgrading buildings, and working on an update.))

OK, I just saw that. I really should look before I listen.  :P Or should I do both at once?

((Whatever it is you two are doing, you're doing it right, because I have no clue as to what you're plotting.

As for the upgrading of buildings, like I promised earlier, you can take any normal, unused building and  improve upon it to grant various benefits. The only distinct buildings right now are the Guild Halls, which can't be taken, and the Market Houses, which provide income. You can spend Guild Funds to upgrade your buildings to various uses.

You can only upgrade normal buildings, ones that have an upgrade already on them can't get a second one, that includes the pre-existing Market Houses.

Example Buildings:
Tavern: 50 gold. Cheap, can provide bonus income, additional guild members, or other things. Requires a guild Leader to visit to gain bonus.
Recruiting Office: 100 Gold. Provides additional Guild Members.
Shops: 100 Gold. Provides income, Guild Leaders can purchase items from them cheaper than at the Markets.

These are just some examples, the only real limit is your imagination and your ability to make excuses as to why you should be able to build one. Eventually, being able to own your own Airdock and build your own Airships would be feasible, but that's too expensive for anyone to do right now.

Anyone have any questions?))

((I'm not sure what's being plotted either.  :P Also, cool, upgrades. Uh...
What can I do with 8 gold? :P
Seriously, though, I see some serious advantages to being a brawns over brains type right now. Just because, look at that starting income. Shouldn't be a problem in the long run, though, mage-types always get the better end game.))
