Recruitment Status: Open!
Active Officers: Wïthers, Cálla
Discord: Used heavily!
Our guild!
We are the Oakvale Drifters, a new travelling caravan. Next stop; adventure! We travel from town to town selling our goods and to enjoy the fresh air! Occasionally, we even do the odd bit of treasure hunting to make a pretty penny. We strive for an amusing environment, with a friendly family at your back, making every member feel at home. Our journey knows no bounds, ranging from the snowy villages of Winterspring to the tangled jungle of Stranglethorn Vale. Our little band of nomads accepts all races and welcome the company. Every member has a voice and every suggestion counts, no matter the rank. However, any evil classes (warlocks, death knights etc) are not welcome; only good vibes with us!
Our Adventures!
Normally, we enjoy spending evenings sat around campfire telling stories or playing games. However, when our scouts return with rumors of a mysterious treasure, we’ll prepare for a night of adventure. As all members are welcome to create their own events, we also often have ongoing stories written by members, developing characters and strengthening friendships, even if some events lead to injury, or worse…
Our Ranks!
Overseer:
The Overseer is the name of the current guild master. She or he will have the last of the last decision, in cases where their seekers can’t make up their mind. Otherwise, she or he is to regarded as a Seeker, as we do not wish for there to be a complete leader, but have our little group more as a community where everyone’s voice is to be heard.
Seekers:
These are the officers of the group: the people that find new members, finds places to stay, finds the routes, finds good places to sell things and what not. They are the ones making the last decisions among the group.
Artisans:
Artisans are divided into individual groups within the rank:
*The huntsmen are the ones to get food and water for the group. They have a great responsibility in finding out how to get food and what food is edible in the area they are staying in. They might have sharp shooting skills, or a vast knowledge of herbs and fruits in the wild, needed for sustenance.
*The craftsmen are the ones with knowledge within keeping the caravan standing. This includes building of wagons, saddles for the horses, movable fences, weapons, armor and other important items not specifically made for sale.
*The gatherers are the hard working individuals who retrieve materials for the craftsmen, as well as the tradesmen when needed. Even though most people view people such as miners and lumberjacks as underclass, they are highly appreciated and important within Oakvale's community.
*The tradesmen are the ones with things to sell, to put it bluntly. They are the traders, and thus the ones providing money for the nomads. Every now and then, the group will stop in a city, and the tradesmen will then sell their items and gather resources this way. Returning from a treasure-hunt, this rank can deem the value of the goods claimed, and store the gold looted.
*The entertainers are the ones skilled in, well, entertaining. Think circus abilities or street musicians, such general areas. They are the ones who gain coin on the streets whenever the caravan is in town, sometimes also taking the role of turning the attention towards the caravan's wares.
Guard:
The guards are the fighting side of the group. They are the ones that protect the weaker members, the ones that are tasked with keeping everyone else safe from intruders and attackers, especially during travel.
Scout:
The scouts are the ones gathering intel; they scout around the areas we travel through, picking up rumors and ensuring the safety of the zone. The scouts do not necessarily have to live in the caravan, but have pledged their loyalty to Oakvale.
Medic:
The medics are the ones with the ability to heal, be it magical or not. They provide aid whenever a member is hurt, thus making them one of the most valued ranks.
Citizen:
These are the ones that are here for the experiences; the ones that do not want to partake in fights and trades. They are valued as much as every other rank. Citizens can also be referred to as our artisans, in case they have a profession and yet does not feel comfortable enough with being out there and selling their things. In this case, they will turn over any goods they deem good enough to be sold, to the tradesmen.
Ally:
The allies are the ones specifically not staying by the caravan, though they are still very much part of the community, and even carry an important role. Similar to the scouts, they gather intel, if they've heard anything that could be interesting to the caravan, they report back about it. Be it a festival or a market about to happen in their local city, or a rumor about treasure.
This rank is special, as it does not require the individual to be part of the guild specifically, yet they can if they so wish. If they wish to be excluded from the guild itself, they will be added to the community channel in-game, where we chat and hang out. Guild chat has other purposes.
Trial:
The trial members are the ones we have yet to get to know well enough to trust with a full title.
Inactive:
It is what it says. The members have been away for more than two weeks will be moved to this rank. If you are away for more than two months without letting us know, you will get the boot.
Potential members:
This rank only applies to our Discord channel. Should you have an interest in joining the guild, but not completely sure yet, you will still have the possibility to join our Discord and get to know how things work with us. At the end of each month, we clear out the Discord from these ranks, as to keep it to ‘members only’. However, you still have the ability to re-join, should you still be considering, or pick up the interest once more.
Our Rules!
1. Be respectful: we’re here to have fun, so any form of bullying or general meanness will not be tolerated.
2. RP Addons: whilst this isn’t a requirement, we highly recommend that you use an addon; it gives a much better RP experience for not just yourself, but everyone you interact with. These include TRP3, MRP, Tongues and a variety of others.
3. Inactivity: if you have an unexplained leave of absence for more than two weeks, we will be demoting you to the rank “inactive”. More than two months, and it will be the boot!
4. No God-Emoting: this can ruin events or a character, so please be sensible when emoting and RPing in general. However, if carefully thought out and discussed with the members, for some events we make exceptions for this rule.
5. No ERPing: if you get caught ERPing in Goldshire or any public place, you’ll be getting the boot.
6. Alts: We have chosen to allow two characters per player in the guild. We prefer both of these characters to be used In Character, hence the choice of no OOC rank.
Our Discord!
Our members heavily use this discord not just for RPing but for casual banter. You can drink your fill of memes as well as talk to us on the voice channels for a friendly social experience!
If you have any further questions about our guild, please feel free to whisper our guild officers (Wïthers, and Cálla).
Thank you for reading and have a nice day!
