DarkHerring Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Well, here I am. I'm the Guild Master of Vanguard of Deception, a guild with membership based in Australia, now located on the Begeren Colony server after the consolidation. The real question is - What is this post about? Well, I'm here to advertise Oceanic RP. Based out of Australia/New Zealand/Asia. Most of all, to let people know it EXISTS! My post here is to advertise what guilds are around on offer to my knowledge, and hopefully bring you into the fold, and build our community as a whole! At the moment, all to advertise are two guilds which exist and operate in the timezones relevant to the previously mentioned areas. Details are provided in this post! Vanguard of Deception Task Force 'Vanguard' is replenishing its numbers due to recent losses in engagements against the Republic, the Dread Masters, and the Hutt Cartel, in particular, the invasion of Corellia. Task Force 'Vanguard' is responsible for strengthening the Empire's defences in critical areas, and makes rare, devastating strikes against the enemies that surround us! Following the recent assassination of its Leader - Darth Aeorna, Lord Wrek'k ascended to lead the Task Force under his new title of 'Darth'. The Task Force now turns its attention t threats from within and unstable elements inside the Empire's ranks. The Vanguard of Deception upholds three critical values. Order, Discipline, and Obedience. Power plays and manipulation of allies is not a path one assigned to the task force takes, as it seeks only to bolster and improve the Empire's position within the war. OOC: Vanguard of Deception is an APAC based RP guild on Begeren Colony. We operate through running various projects based on themes, the mainstream ones of the guild being Sith and Military operating as part of Task Force 'Vanguard', following a recent guild reform, opportunities have arisen for other projects to be set up, such as groups opposing 'Vanguard'. We are looking currently, to expand and develop these two projects hand in hand, and later create a Mandalorian project which works in favor of the guild, and maybe oppose. We value that each member contributes to the guild, whether you have an idea for the ongoing roleplay or have an idea for a new project that you want to run with your alt and others within the guild. What we don't value is closed group roleplaying, we prefer that everyone can be involved in some way or another. We also offer some light PvE activity, including both flashpoints and operations. We work to help gear up people within the guild and help them learn to play their class, and have a lot of fun messing around while we do so, through various different means! This doesn't mean we're prone to messing around though, we know when to put on our serious faces! The three values the guild holds IC are also held OOC. This is for the purpose of reducing "drama" and squabbles, we understand issues may arise, but we prefer you to keep them private, or even bring it to the attention of an officer to be investigated and dealt with. Discipline is held in a "see it, comdemn it" practice, meaning that we don't put specific labels on things we deal with. We are also prone to taking on a new role player every now and again, teaching them the methods we use primarily to undertake roleplay within the game, as we hope that later on down the line, they'll be just as willing to do the same for others! This is done on the basis that the person who invites you to the guild will conduct your mentoring, not every officer or veteran member may be willing, but they may communicate within the guild to see if someone will, of which there rarely isn't! Each project will have its own IC rules, and your membership within the project is determined by the project leader, but overseen by Officers and myself. Contacts - Aeorna, Wrek'k Website - http://vanguardofdeception.enjin.com/ The Tenebrous Gospel The Tenebrous Gospel is a Sith Cult founded by the Sith Lord, Darth Magius, that worships the Dark Side of the Force and revere the Emperor as a god. They have also been called the "Cult of the Emperor". They believe that the Dark Side of the Force is the superior Force in the galaxy and view the Emperor as the epitome of the Dark Side's teachings. His vast power and influence in the galaxy, having lived for centuries and rebuilding the Sith Empire from the ashes of the Great Hyperspace War into the great power it currently is, has elevated him to the status of a deity in their eyes and hearts. They have dedicated their entire existence to Him in worship and servitude. They follow a strict set of values that they expect all members of their order ― and eventually, all of the Empire ― to follow. These values include, but are not limited to: unquestioning political loyalty to the Sith Empire and the Tenebrous Gospel, diligence in carrying out the Emperor's will, belief in the Emperor's ultimate divinity, and conscious contribution to the Empire's overall well-being, even if this means nothing more than helping to improve one's own homeworld or even just home city or town. They intend to spread their teachings throughout all of the Empire as an effort to unite the Sith under a single, unified cause, put an end to the cannibalistic in-fighting that has weakened the Empire, and finally bring an end to the heretical Jedi Order. OOC: The Tenebrous Gospel is a SWTOR role-playing guild on the Begeren Colony server. While the premise of the guild makes it sound exclusively for Sith characters, any character class can join as long as the character fits into the theme of the guild (i.e., Sith fanatic). There are plenty of roles for non-Sith characters to fill. We are willing to teach players the basic mechanics of role-playing, but we are only accepting applicants with prior role-playing experience for the time being until we have the numbers and quality to support and teach lesser experienced players. On off days, we may do some PvP, Flashpoints, and the occassional Operation together, but The Tenebrous Gospel is primarily a RP guild. Requirements for joining the Tenebrous Gospel include, but are not limited to: QUALITY: You're an experienced role-player or can at least form a cohesive, literate sentence that describes what your character is doing. You know all of the basic in-game commands (i.e., how to make a custom emote, RP walk, etc.), know what godmoding is and that it's a no-no, and you don't troll or disrupt immersion OOC'ly while other people are RP'ing because you're bored. MATURITY: You're not prone to create drama with other guild members, are not easily offended by crude jokes, and you can keep In-Character business separate from Out-of-Character business. You're willing to work with other guild members to create quality RP, even if it doesn't directly revolve around your own character. FLEXIBILITY: You're willing to work with the officers/guildmaster to make your character a better fit for the theme of the guild in order to advance from a Mercenary/Initiate rank, thus enhancing immersion and not causing any unnecessary strife. Great RP is created when everyone is working together. We value quality over quantity and are very, very picky about who we allow to join. OOC RULES Don't be a douche. This is a drama-free guild. Leave it at the door. This is a LGBT-friendly guild. Personal insults against gender, race, or sexual preference is not tolerated. You'll get three (3) warnings before you are kicked from the guild. IC RULES Everything the AMP covers. No Jedi or "Light-side" Sith characters allowed. We're strictly Dark Side. All heretics will be burned. Cultists should appear in the Gospel's colors (red) when attending any Gospel functions.

Hope to see more APAC people here soon!
