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  As of the 1.9 update, flagRSP is an "outdated" add-on but still perfectly functional.

Overview

The Pig and Whistle Explorer's Society, more commonly known as the Pig and Whistle Society, is a brand new World of Warcraft guild founded for, and run by, members of the RPG.net forums. It is intended to be a sister guild of sorts to the Blacksky Company. While the two guilds aren't meant to cooperate 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. The RPGnet channel (joined by typing /join RPGnet) is a good place for people to meet who haven't yet been introduced into the guild.

Members are expected to assist each other, and to be civil to each other out of character. Normal speech is to be used (no leet-speak!), and all efforts to correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization will be appreciated.

News and discussion about the guild will take place in the Other Games Open forum on RPG.net. Relevant topics will begin with the [Pig and Whistle] tag.

In-Game Background

(Draft) The Pig & Whistle Explorer's Society began 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.

About 2 years ago the guild's leader disappeared in the Isle of Dread. 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. 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.

Officers

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 World Traveler, which will be, in effect, identical to the Officer rank. The only distinction is for roleplaying, and to keep track of which class each officer represents.

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.

The current officers are as follows:

Player Name Character Name Rank Class
inscrutable Nyssala Guild Master Warrior
inscrutable Rinley Quartermaster N/A
inscrutable Tchotchky QM - Trade Goods N/A
inscrutable Darley QM - Recipes N/A
Dorchadas Manaan Officer Druid
Malfuric Malfuric Officer Mage
Uriany Velwynn Officer Hunter
EndlessChase Aesir Officer Priest
J'Dai Cryn Officer Warlock
Mr. J'Dai Spyn Officer Rogue
craptastic Gizbeth Officer Warrior
TRavenson Ashira Officer Paladin

Guild Bank

The Guild Bank can be viewed at http://doorsandwindows.infernious.net/p&wbank.html

The Pig & Whistle Explorer's Society has three guild bankers; Rinley, Tchotchky, and Darley. Rinley is the general Quartermaster, handling all equipment, weapons and gear. Tchotchky handles all trade skill materials and ingredients. Darley manages the guild's recipes, patterns, schematics etc.

Requests for items from the bank can be mailed to the appropriate Quartermaster within WoW, or sent as a PM to inscrutable on RPG.net.

Additionaly, the Pig & Whistle Society will pay for your Guild Tabbard and help pay for your mount. The Guild will provide 1 Gold for a Tabbard, and up to 80 Gold for 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.
