(2003-11-19)  Message From Urk! Hello all orks,
I thought I’d send out this message because a few great things have happened in the last few days. First of all, MANY thanks to Morlem for his website. It will be an invaluble tool for the clan. The website, if you want to check it out, is www.himinbi.com/ragnarok though still in progress, it is not at all bad for one day of work.

Second, I have published a list of names of guild members. This will be edited tommorow, once my two friends have gotten registered. Their names may be different, but this is what the list should look like.
Grimgor
Morlem
Reigngod
Urk_The_Smasher
Thurk
Rak_Legsmasher
while were at it, I’d like to say welcome to our newest member, Reigngod.

Now that we have the webpage up, we are almost ready to make ourselves known. There are a few things we still need, however.

A forum would be really nice so that we can more properly communicate. I can probably figure out how to set up some sort of blog or something that will do, but if anyone has a better idea, feel free to speak, as I am not too good with website things.

We need to decide on some lore things. I had a few ideas, feel free to give your opinions on them, even if your opinion is “They suck, and so do you, go jump into a pit of spikes.” Creative critisism is good.

I will take the position of Chieftain if nobody objects. If sombody else really, really wants it, please talk to me, I would be fine handing it over.

If made chieftain, I plan to eventually promote members who have been dedicated or exeptional to a sort of “war council” who along with the priests (the best rpers of the clan) will hold most of the responsibility, seperated evenly among them. My job would just be to make sure they are doing their jobs right, (I don’t like being all-controlling or anything, and wouldn’t mind just being a figurehead or pawn or the council, provided I got to stay in one of those sweet ork keeps.)

For our name and such, my idea was The Headchoppers (ork clan names are supposed to be fierce and mean sounding) Our symbol, as such, would be the sillhouette of an elf head with a big wedge down the middle, as if sombody had chopped him down the center of his head with an axe. This, in ork mentality, will freak out our elvish enemies. It will also look cool carved into a shield or something.

Well those are my ideas. What do you say? Love em? Hate em? Got better ideas? I encourage you to give feedback.

Hail. The idea of an rp ork clan has been quite popular to date, and there have so far been 5 interesed people. What I was thinking for the next step was to formalize the making of this clan, and put a post out so that people can become aware of our presence. If we can do this, we can probably grow by at least a few members by beta release, and once that happens, I am hoping we can get a beta invite for the clan. If we do that, we basically are promised power in the real game, as we will have experience, and will have met new people. If nobody has any objections, I would like to make a public move within the next week, probably over Thanksgiving break, as I will have more time then. There are a couple things we will have to go over, however, before we are ready to make this move, a few things must be done.

We will need:

  • To mark some time to in one way or another discuss the clan, be it on AIM, irc, or anything else.

  • A website. It need not be a domain, though that would be nice. The upside of a domain is that is hints right there that we are professional, and we can host things on it. The downside is that it costs money. I am willing to make a contribution is nobody else is able, but I'm not sure if it will be enough to get a good webpage up. If sombody knows html and could make it nice, that would be great. If not, I have a rl friend who could probably do the trick.
  • To decide on positions, guild structure, and such. Who will be leader? How will rank work under him? Will there be an inner council? All these things must be discussed.
  • For people to get to know each other. I have two friends coming online soon, that will be the fourth and fifth member to this clan. Once they are signed on, I will send everyone a list of names of clanmates so that you can all keep in touch.
  • To agree on a name, rp lore, rules, and such.

It won't be easy pulling this off, but if we can get through all those steps, the rest is just getting quality members, which is slow, but not incredibly difficult if we have the following things accomplished.

If anyone has any suggestions, I urge you to speak them now, for this is the time when they are best heard, and we can incorporate them into the basis or our clan.

One last thing: If you have any friends who may be interested in a game like this, and don't mind spending a little time on the boards, talk to them about this. Numbers, though not the top priority, are very usefull, especially because the more people you get, the more will want to come, seeing you as a powerful clan.

With that, I say....

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!!!!!!!!
