i am writing to relay a message from another MD account, who does NOT have a forum account.

Eager Beaver - the beaver has its home in loreroot and naturally they chop down trees.

all i was asked to pass on as a message however was simply

"Gnooo!!"

ok, topic closed, i have enough signups. I will announce who will start this ally, i will assign one person that will invite the rest (to same me the extra work of manually inviting all)

Thank you.

Here are the people accepted to start the woodcutters guild:


[b]Necromancer Mortis
Laphers
AeonWolfX
marleybob
Sasha Lilias (currently in jail, woodcutters job should be considered rehabilitation work for a while )
The Warrior[/b]


One of you will be made initial leader JUST SO HE CAN SEND INVITES TO ALL OTHERS. the leader will be decided among you or simply decided by the loyalty score. I will do that as soon as all the tools are done.

Currently i still need to do a tool for gathering tree bark and resin, the others are done.
Also, i am not sure if you create more tools or fewer tools than the guild member count.

If you have in mind any map location to set your headquarters i might experiment with automated item distribution (like the test items in wasps totem!). The feature is there and it could be used nice. (not the hut outside MB please, that one i want for the gardener guild)


once one of you gets in the ally please invite the rest.
What i expect from you is that you will develop a strategy, an internal code of work that you will respect and a way to train and introduce new members to the guild. Woodcutters are not mindless choppers.

This guild will have a slight advantage over the others because it will start gathering first but that is not a real issue. Please feel free to share your opinion about the numbers i set, like reuse interval of the tool, amount of resources in a location, number of people in the guild, stats bonus of the guild etc.

please post name suggestions for other tools you might use to gather the resources described in the announcement

change of mind, i placed all selected players in the ally myself, to avoid loyalty changes in case one had higher loyalty than the leader.

current leader is Necromancer Mortis


i will send some tools already but more will come

lol um is there any possibility i can hav my membership of woodcutters swaped to my KMA (kiss my anthia) account as that seems to be my main atm

I believe you don't need Mur to do that. Just simply exit the ally with your current character and ask the leader to send you an invite for the other account.

Can the Woodcutters guild have our own place on the forum now please, so we can centralise our guilds research

Perhaps you should contact the forum admin... i havent seen him lately, he must be hiding

Why is Sasha Ilias AND Lunar priestess in this alliance?

Lunar Priestesss (a well known alt of Mcvite) wasnt invited into the alliance, So why is mcvite allowed TWO alts in it?

i was not aware lunar was an alt

wait a moment.

No, im very sorry there, it seems she has a different alt. I take that back

So, My question is, Why is Lunar Priestess in this alliance merely moments after being formed?

she applied and i didn't see any reason not to let her in. i was at the time leader of the guild.

is this guild going to let anybody and evrybody in?
do you not even know who should not be in the guild in regards to enimies of LR
hmm i should get an alt of mine to apply to the guild

ok, we have made some decisions. the guild is closed to applicants for now

Hoedad - a planting tool (Shouldn't woodcutters be concerned with making sure that we replace what we take?)
Lopper - trims branches off of a tree trunk
Chipper - takes branches and scrap wood and chips them into a mulch
Bark Spud - removes bark from tree
Drip Tap - for collecting sap

And some basic research that I found regarding sap collection:

To collect maple sap (for making maple syrup), a small hole is drilled into a living tree and a drip tap is installed which allows a small amount of sap extracted into a bucket which hangs from the tap.

Pine Sap is collected in a similar way and is used for mixing with paint as a thickener an to create resin artwork. Pine sap can also be used to create a natural chewing gum and a type of solvent like turpentine.

Rubber Tree Sap can be refined into natural rubber (latex).

Birch sap is high in Vitamin C and has been used to cure scurvy. It can also be boiled to create a tonic that is said to help arthritis. It can also be made into wine or beer.

Sap (various types) has also been used as an adhesive and for dressing wounds. Some have astringent properties and stop bacterial infections.

Gum arabic, derived from acacia tree sap, is used in gumdrops, marshmallows and other candies (also envelope & stamp gum) .

I know I'm not in the guild, but may I suggest a Nut Sack for collecting nuts from trees?

I would like to think that you meant that with the best of intentions but if you look at your suggestion from a school boy's sense of humour, you will realize how inappropriate that suggestion is.

Laphers said Apophys said Nut sack.

Cutler

A nut sack... That's kinda funny? but why would nuts fall down?
Nuts are for furries.. not for people to nut grab.

Nut grabbing is not allowed in Loreroot.

You pick at the nuts when the nuts are down but not when the nuts are still up.

You may have a nut sack for your nut picking but everyone is only allowed one nut sack.

Enemies are not allowed to touch your nut sack but is allowed to grab your nuts as the enemies are probably not LR citizens.

Please refer all questions on nut picking, nut grabbing, colour of nut sack and any relateded nut questions to the King personally, as he takes nut grabbing issues very seriously.

Thank you.

So I might have missed this but who is in lead of this guild now? Following up this thread i see no decession.

Lunar Priestess is currently the leader

Umm.. just wondering is this guild still around or has it
well umm gone from the realm. I have not heard anything new from this
guild for a while. heck I don't even know what the going rate is for the
resource they are suppose to gather.

they are still around but the fact that theres nothing that can be done with their resources has kinda stagnated things.

oh just out of curiosity
how many diffrent items do the woodcutter have?

as in do you just have a saw? or is there other items to get the other resorces?
just wondering really you don't have to say if you don't want to
