Editing Pig and Whistle Society

[http://shawntionary.com/pandw/index.php P&W Forum]

So as not to clog up Video Games Open with all of our rambling, we've moved much of the guild discussion over to our own dedicated forums.  The Pig & Whistle Society is still open to all members of rpg.net, as well as their friends and loved ones, and you don't have to join the P&W forums, but they're certainly a handy read, and include important information on the structure and activities of the guild.

The Pig & Whistle Society, also known as the Pig & Whistle Explorers Society or the Pig & Whistle Drunken Explorers Society (and of course, the Pig and Whistle Society), is a World of Warcraft guild for members of the RPG.net forums.

It is a sister guild of sorts to the [[Blacksky Company]].  While the two guilds are by no means friendly in game, out of game they should be friendly and cooperative.

The Pig and Whistle Society is an Alliance-side guild, based on the North American Kirin Tor Roleplaying server.

News and discussion about the guild will take place in the Video Games Open forum on RPG.net.  Relevant topics will begin with the [WoW - P&W Society] tag.  We have our own private forum as well.

The Pig & Whistle Society used to be in an alliance with a smaller guild named Virtue.  You can join the /vptalk channel to talk with them or other ex-members of the P&W or of Virtue.

A few years ago, Nyssala, a night elf who had barely left the forest confines of her home, discovered a dwarven corpse in a Furbolg cavern in Darkshore.  Investigating,  she found a piece of parchment on the body. The paper proclaimed it's bearer as owner and administrator of the Pig & Whistle Explorers Society.  Not sure what to do with this, she sent word out that old members could return and new members were welcome; and she set out to Stormwind City, where the Society began two centuries ago.

Now the Pig & Whistle Society has taken on more of it's original flavor.  Members are free to travel the world largely as they see fit, seeking out lost and ancient treasures, uncovering mysteries, exploring dangerous locales, and traveling the world in search of adventure, fame and fortune.

Each class has a guild officer that represents their class.  Officers will have invitational powers, as well as access to the officers' notes and players' notes (to add new RPGnet handles if they invite).  Officers will be responsible for organizing trips into instances that the players in their respective classes need, keeping discipline in the ranks, and, if the guild gets too big for the Guild Master to handle minor issues and grievances himself, they will represent the general needs of players in their class.

All officers' alts will be promoted to "Officalt", which will be, in effect, identical to the Officer rank.

At present time, all officers are selected by the Guild Master.  At some future time, a more democratic process may take place, especially as more and more power is divested into the positions as the guild grows and becomes more influential.

Mentors are a new position for people who have been recognized as knowledgeable and helpful to others in the guild.  Mentors have limited officer powers.

The Guild Bank can be viewed at [http://pandw.g0g.net/bank.html pandw.g0g.net/bank.html]. The Pig & Whistle Explorer's Society's Quartermaster is Yannah. The bank will be updated every Thursday evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a guild of roleplayers, for the most part, and the server we play on is a Roleplaying server.  All names of characters are expected to be within reasonable bounds for that race, per the rules of the server.  Roleplaying is strictly optional, but encouraged.

 

 

 

 

All Bind on Equip (BoE) items can be rolled on as normal.  Only roll Need if you are going to wear that item immediately.  Roll Greed if you want it for some other purpose, including selling, disenchanting, sending to alts, saving for later use, or sending to the guild bank.  Hit Pass if you don't want to bother with the item at all.  If, after the roll is done, someone determines they can use it right away, the item should be given to the person; not doing so is considered quite rude.

 

If there are any disputes, the highest-ranking officer present, or the Group Leader if no/multiple officers are present, will make all decisions.  If there is a grievance in looting etiquette, it should be brought to an Officer, or an officer of a higher rank, if an Officer is the infracting party.

 

Further discussion and explanation of these rules can be found in the [[World of Warcraft:Tips]] article.
