| − | 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 open to all members of the RPG.net forums, as well as their friends and family. 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.

| | + | (Draft)It started out 200 years ago as a gentleman's society of sorts, a group of noblemen, adventurers, rogues, explorers and ne'er do wells, centered in the famous pub in Stormwind. The charter has changed hands many times, lost in gambling matches, sold to get rid of debt, taken over by overzealous members, no one knows the entire history. At some point in the last 30 years, it turned into more of a professional treasure hunter's organization, travelling to dangerous remote places in search of the fabulous wealth rumored to be hidden there. |

Just recently Nyssala, a night elf who had barely left the forest confines of her home, discovered a piece of parchment in a cavern in Darkshore, The paper proclaimed it's bearer as owner and aministrator of the Pig & Whistle Explorer's Society.

| − |
| |
| − | Eli Langston formed The Pig & Whistle Explorers Society over 200 years ago, as a gentleman's club of sorts; a group of noblemen, adventurers, rogues, explorers and ne'er do wells centered in the famous pub in Stormwind. Over the course of the Society's storied history the charter has changed hands many times, lost in gambling matches, sold to get rid of debt, taken over by overzealous members. No one actually knows the entire history of the Society.
| |
| | | | |
| − | About 30 years ago, Giz'nit Cranksprocket, a goblin in the employ of the Venture Company, won the leadership of the Pig & Whistle Society in a rigged game of cards. Giz'nit turned the Society into more of a professional treasure hunter's organization, with members traveling to dangerous remote places in search of the fabulous wealth rumored to be hidden there.
| + | The following rules are meant to help with the enjoyment of all. Please read them, and respect them. If any of them are issues for you, contact your guild officer, or Blackbraid directly. |
| | | | |
| − | Upon forcibly retiring a decade ago, Giz'nit passed the reigns of the Society on to Olaf Ironbeard, the Society's bravest explorer. Olaf was last seen heading to the Isle of Dread two years ago. After his disappearance, the Pig & Whistle Explorers Society went their separate ways, some milling about, others travelling the world on their own. The Society was thought disbanded.
| + | ===Roleplaying=== |
| | | | |
| − | Some 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.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Since then, 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.
| + | It is suggested that players use the [http://www.flokru.org/flagrsp/ flagRSP] addon, although it is not by any means required. It will allow you to add a surname and an outer description that other users of the addon will be able to see. Also, a backstory for your character is not required, but recommended to aid in your roleplaying style. As of the 1.9 update, flagRSP is an "outdated" add-on but still perfectly functional. |
| | | | |
| − | Last year, Nyssala left Darnassus in a rush. She chartered a ship from Auberdine, and has not been seen since. In her study were found incomplete notes which referred to the Twilight Hammer, but her whereabouts and fate are a mystery. In her absence, Hanaturo, a Human Mage, veteran of the war with the Horde in Ashenvale, has taken over leadership of the guild.
| + | All /says and /yells are to be completely in character (IC), with no exceptions. Also, /guild chat is expected to be IC. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Officers==
| + | /party speak is typically a mix of out-of-character (OOC) speak and IC speak. This may change in the future as the guild's partying becomes more and more specific. |
| | | | |
| − | The officers and the guild master run the guild together.
| + | OOC speech is best kept in private tells, and in the RPGnet channel. |
| | | | |
| − | Officers have invitational powers, as well as access to the officers' notes and players' notes (to add new RPGnet handles if they invite). Officers are responsible for organizing guild activities, keeping discipline in the ranks, and if the Guild Master is not present to handle minor issues and grievances. They represent the general needs of players in their class. All officers' alts are also promoted to Officer.
| + | Officer speech will also be a mix of IC and OOC, as appropriate by the situation. |
| | | | |
| − | Mentors are a sort of limited officer position for people who have been recognized as knowledgeable and helpful to others in the guild.
| + | ===Looting Rules=== |
| | | | |
| − | Officers and mentors are selected based on their helpfulness, positivity, and similar qualities.
| + | All Bind on Pickup (BoP) items are to be passed on, and discussed afterward. Any roll on a Bind on Pickup item, or any taking of one without discussion and agreement from all party members, is considered EXTREMELY rude etiquette in World of Warcraft, almost to a punishable level. |
| | | | |
| − | ==Guild Bank==
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | The Guild Bank can be accessed at any in-game bank. There's lots of space to deposit items to benefit other guild members, and things to take to help you out.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | The first tab of the guild bank contains free bags to equip your characters with, as well as guild tabards. If you need a hand, the Guild will provide you with the price of a mount and training. We will pay this out to one character per player, unless you pay it back, at which point the money is open to another one of your characters.
| + | Further discussion and explanation of these rules can be found in the [[World of Warcraft:Tips]] article. |
| | | | |
| − | Due to a number of hacker attacks, an authenticator is now needed to get full bank access. This can be demonstrated to an officer or mentor by showing them your Core Hound pet in-game.
| + | ==Officers== |
| | | | |
| | + | There are currently no Officers of the Pig and Whistle society aside from it's current leader, Nyssala. |
