Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, I already know that Fargore wants us only in one organization. He sent me a PM about that he'd allow me to change organizations. Here is his PM:



To join a regular organization (magic, ability, attack, etc) you could just walk to the base or ask to join it. But I know for special organizations, like Black Dragons, you have to be recruited by a recruiter (like I was). I think you should only be able to join one, like the quote above suggests. Also, like the quote above suggestions, to change you should have to do something special. What that special thing to be done would be determined by either the DMs in advance or a head of the organization. (Which brings up another topic. Who should run a organization? A user who joined it first or one picked by the DMs or a NPC? Or should a organization be ran by nobody?)

I think you should be able to gain ranks in the organization and get more respect, but I'm not sure about unlocking stuff. Maybe you could unlock more stuff, or you could just get more pay for a mission that the organization wants to send you on.

People would not have to join one, but there would not be any benifits for not joining. There probably should be new organizations introduced as time goes on, depending on plots of dungeons and how they fit in. Like lets say an organization called "The Light Avengers" was met in a dungeon and was asking you to help them destroy "The Dark Warriors". You could join either of those, if you are recruited. All of the new organizations should only be able to be joined if you're recruited, unless otherwise stated.

For the bonuses and benifits of joining an organization, here are some of my ideas:

Magic organization: Either +1 MP per turn or +1 to magic stat
Action Organization: +1 AP each turn
Healing Organization: +1 regen
Attack Organization: +1 to attack
Defense Organization: +1 to defense
ETC.

Also, each organization could sell an item that would help a person get better in that specific thing.
Examples:

Magic Organization: Sells items and other stuff to boost magic or boost MP gotten per turn, etc
Action Organization: Sells items and other stuff to boost an action's damage or raise AP gotten per turn, etc.
Healing Organization: Selling healing items and other stuff for you or for healing your party, etc.
Attack Organization: Sells items and other stuff to boost attack, etc.
Defense Organization: Sells items and other stuff to boost defense, etc.
ETC.

A reason that nobody could join two organizations is because some might not like one. Like, for example, the Healing Organization might not like the Magic Organization because of the high damage the Black Wizards can cause. But this reason is only if we're planning to maybe make wars between the organizations, which is another topic by itself.

Also, with the implementation of organizations, we should probably make a new subforum which has a thread for the members of each organization to talk to eachother or for other organization members to send messages to another organization.

Hmm...I think getting ability potions for joining an organization as well as an item sounds fine. however actually getting an ability I think would be a bit much. You might as well just add the cp you would get form that to starting character builds as they can join an organization as soon as they create a character. I just got back from acing a bio midterm and now I have to go eat. I'll have more to say later.

I like the idea of Sects within the major Organizations. It creates the sense of Guild Camaraderie, while keeping the benefits of the Organization. And it leads to interesting RP possibilities...

There is one problem in having The Order of Magic Preservation as a sect of the Illuminate organization. What would happen if someone in The Order of Magic Preservation joined a different organization like Undead or Monsters or Church of the Divine Mother? Would the Order of Magic Preservation be a sect of many organizations or would the ones not in the Illuminate organization not be allowed into The Order of Magic Preservation?

(I can post quick tonight but almost certainly not tommorow)

Off the bat I would say that sects within sects and sects that span different organizations would be a no go, but anyone who would like to contest that is welcome to do so. wink

And my plan right now is for the god thing to remain separate from the organizations. It’s supposed to end up as one of those events that occurs and then is over for good and leaves something behind for characters that took part (Like the Island of mist and the sword of nine clouds). While it could be expanded on at a later time, the special titles and what not will just be a cool mark for those who where here to take part.

And it’s kinda odd that the two god “Recruiters” ended up as acolyte DM’s. sweatdrop

While many of them are still in debate I will tell you some of the ones that may be introduced as examples.

Token Plant, Item: Mist Beast Token (Use c 3/3)
Lancers, Item: Lance: E5, +5 attack

Most others are still to unsure to really release.

I doubt the regular organizations would kick out anybody since anybody is allowed to join. The only reason they might kick them out is if the person goes totally against the guild. (for example, if there was a quest for a guild and the member totally ruined the chances for success)

In the secret organizations it might be possible to be kicked out, but if you were recruited I doubt you'd be kicked out.

In both cases, I think a person getting kicked out would be VERY rare or nonexistance.
