Blacksky Company
Overview
The Blacksky Company is a World of Warcraft guild founded for, and run by, members of the RPG.net forums, founded by a character of the RPG.net member, IceShadow, named Blackbraid. Its intent is to give the members of the forum, who have often discussed the game, given advice, and generally helped each other as much as possible through the medium of an internet message board, a place to play with each other on one server, and in one guild.
It is a horde-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. Any guild officer, listed below, will be able to invite you 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 [Blacksky Company] tag.
The guild tabard looks as it does to the right.
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 (or Captain) to handle minor issues and grievances himself, they will represent the general needs of players in their class.
Of those eight officers, two of them are selected as Senior Officers. They will have almost all the control over the guild of the Captain, including demotion, promotion, and removal from the guild.
At present time, all officers are selected by the Captain. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IceShadow | Blackbraid | Captain | Warrior |
| IceShadow | Xaan | Quartermaster | N/A |
| Bim | Bimmeh | Officer | Mage |
| Final Excalibur | Salrene | Officer | Priest |
| Iceberg3k | Gorahkar | Officer | Hunter |
| Murglor | Murglor | Officer | Rogue |

Quartermaster
The guild quartermaster is Xaan, a grizzled old veteran who has helped the guild since its creation shortly after the Orcs' arrival in Kalimdor. He now permanently resides in Orgrimmar, the better to tend to the stores of the guild and, when work is to be had, distribute guild wages.
Xaan is a character owned by IceShadow, and acts as the guild bank. A listing of all items in his posession may be found here; anything in his inventory is free for any player in the guild. Do not hesitate to claim anything in the bank...low level green items are only useful for a short time anyhow, so as long as someone gets some use out of them, they won't go to waste. Simply contact IceShadow on the message boards via PM, and he will mail it out or otherwise arrange delivery. (NOTE: Until the UI mod that allows creation of the bank page is updated, no updates will be available on what the guild bank has to offer. For that reason, and because the bank is nearly full, I would ask that no one send anything to the guild bank until the UI mod works with 1.9. Thank you.)
