The Black Cloaks Mercenary Team
« on: June 22, 2014, 12:20:16 am »
A cloaked man has taken now vows of allegiance here, but serves only by their own will, on their own time, by their own choosing. The Black Cloaks are no guild or clan. The Black Cloaks are a mercenary team, made up from free contractors, members of any and all clans, and ruled simultaneously by democracy and chaos.

I am looking to start a structure within the competitive scene which draws in players for no other reason than to play the game and win glory in tournaments. The choices are made by it's members and elected leaders. Beyond that, players are free to do what they wish. There is no need to remain tied to the organization in any way. There are no clan tags, no feuds with other groups, no preference for any clan. The group exists only to have fun in tournaments, with players who may otherwise not be able to build a team or join their clan's official team.

The Black Cloaks have little in the way of structure, but what I imagine is outlined here. A two leader system would apply only to specific tournaments, with commanders sharing equal power, and voted upon by all players wishing to play for the Black Cloaks in a specific event or tournament. Each signed up player gets two votes, which must be for separate players. These two elected commanders select the final rosters for that event only. They have complete autonomy over the event they are elected for, and may choose to not put themselves on the roster. Irreconcilable differences will be voted upon by the complete list of players signed up for the given event.

In each event we are unique. If there is no glory to be won, we cease to exist. If we collapse in on ourselves, so be it. If we change in form or nature or rule, it is up to the players to decide.

This is not a recruitment thread, for no members are permanent. I am only here to measure interest in the idea. What we do with it is really up to everyone. So... who wants to take the skies one night and disappear the next?

Black Cloaks, and now my Drift begins.
It shall not end until my death.
I shall take no Clan, hold no Ties,
Bear no Responsibility . I shall wear no logos and win only for glory.
I shall live and die for my contracts. I am the sword in the darkness.
I am the Drifter in the Skies. I am the shield that guards the realms of men.
I pledge my life and honor to the Reward  and promise of glory,
For this night and all the nights to come.

Signed

Grey T

Good one Grey :D. And a good idea Queso. Its reverse muse logic :D.
Usually Muse just uses mercs in any competetive game. Now are mercs ...

Glad you picked up on the Night's Watch references. I didn't want to go all out because this is all completely non-binding stuff.

So we've got a week until squid races. https://gunsoficarus.com/community/forum/index.php/topic,4336.0.html

How about we start out small? We need 4 players minimum to sign up up to fly a Black Cloaks ship. Sign ups for it end June 29 so lets say you have until Thursday to join the Black Cloaks on this event and we'll then hold elections on Friday. Consider this a test run.

I pledge for the Black Cloaks in the July 6th Squid Races.
Preferred position, pilot.
Other positions, engineer.
I wish to be considered for command in the elections. I know more than most about how to fly a squid through a demanding course.

You have my sword.

Soon, I shall leave the ranger behind and become the king I was born to be.

Just need one more so we can confirm a full crew for squid races. Also if anyone is up to making a logo of any quality it would be much appreciated.

Unless someone else signs up by Thursday. Then whoever we elect picks it.
