Interest Gauge: Tiefling Only Guild on Mindflayer

elcymerian

I'm gauging interest on a tiefling only guild before jumping in and creating anything. I've created, ran, helped run, be a member of many guild in my MMO experience. This idea occurred to in while RPing with another character.

Concept
The beginning idea of the guild would be a group of tieflings attempting to establish a sanctuary for their kind despite their inclinations and the perceptions others have of them.


Name
Some possibilities for names are:

• The Scarlet Ones
• The Scarlet Order
• The Scarlet Marked
• The Free Scarlet(s)
• The Freed Scarlet(s)

Features of the guild would be:
Weekly RP sessions, run by a DM

Restrictions:

• Tieflings only, Any Class, Any Alignment (Unless it gets really evil heavy)
• RP experience (minimal)
• Weekly RP session attendance

If you'd be interested or have constructive feed back please let me know by posting below.

Thanks.

Im not a huge fan of exclusive, single race or class type guilds. Starting off with arbitrary limitations, just seems like poor way to start anything. That said, I can see appeal to it should you find a large enough audience. Its just not my thing, but I wish you luck with it.

In that vein, Id like to at least help out by suggesting you mention what shard you are looking to do this on. People might be more interested if they knew where it was happening.

That's why I'm doing an interest gauge instead of just jumping in and having people make a charter.

Mindflayer. It's in the thread's title.

Mindflayer. It's in the thread's title.

Bah titles, that will teach me to skip those and read the stuff in the middle :P

Further proof that sometimes the Munkey can be an idiot

I would say that unless you have a good core of friends that wish to go along with this the guild will eventually die off. Many players are going to have more than one character which they will want to bring into the guild. They may not all be the same race thus would opt for a more flexible guild.

Thanks for the comment.

I think you might also want to highlight that the rationale is that it's an RP-guild.

If its for RP purposes perhaps you don't really need a guild. Perhaps an association of sorts might better do the trick.

I'd be willing to have a part in this. So long as it's good-purposed. My fighter tiefling is far too noble to go for something evil...
