It has been a while since we have last had one of these, but I would say it is about time we have another. An OOC guild meeting.
However, instead of doing it on skype, by call, or real time, we will keep the discussion here so we can really elaborate and sink our teeth into this.
Take a look here: https://www.fairytail-rp.com/t12567-guild-goals-and-outline
I think a lot of us fail to realize that BR used to be a CRIME SYNDICATE. Basically a dark group, but on a path for redemption, perhaps? We're legal now, after all, but that was a mass OOC decision for the benefits more than anything. I do not think we should change alignments at all, but see where we begin to head IC between jobs and actions done by members, plus events (private or sitewide). Let us actually USE all of the resources we have.
The crime syndicate's remains left for Fiore(or an island, actually) to establish BR, which is its own nation.
The ten monsters is not much of a thing anymore. And we once identified as monster hunters, and then bounty hunters, but while this can be a small point of BR, it is not much the focus anymore.
I talked to each Ace to get an opinion from them, and Kakuma, of course. All of the Aces agree we MUST revise our guild goals based on the personalities and ambitions of the members IC. Like, it would not make sense to be solely bounty hunters, treasure hunters, or redeemers. But I LOVED this one point Zack suggested.
Perhaps as a guild who comes from independent means....perhaps we are trying to have influence over Fiore and reduce the magic council's power in favour of the guilds who do most of the work.
And perhaps influence it through not just political means.
For example. Magna might try to influence them by showing what mages can do if they are allowed to flourish in certain fields.
Elyx might try to influence them through music perhaps.
I love the idea of almost passive resistance for BR's goal, and focus on member's personal goals too. In the end, our main goal could be Influence, and we could piggy-back off of this prompt and idea. With this idea, we could also aim our focus towards influencing the IC state of the site as well, for the sake of fun, a good time, story, and more. Not for solely for power.
On a personal level, I aim for thread and plot influence with Iza both OOC and IC. I try to plot with as many people as possible, in BR or not, and try to make no thread ever really normal. And she has her own personal goals too.
But I'm distracted now and feel like I'm rambling, so allow me to just ask you to think about this and suggest your own ideas, or hop off of Zack's idea! C:
Please fill out the tiny form below when doing so, as the guild goals should reflect its members IC, and we should take all of it into consideration. Make your form and suggestions as long or short as you like. I want ALL active Black Rose members to participate in this, even if it's just with a few words. ^.^
