Introduction. The Nightingale is a gathering place for smugglers and pirates who don't shy away from the slave trade. For privateers who want to optimize their revenue by selling their captives. We are not aiming to be a main organisation. The Nightingale aims to become a trading hub and a tool for people in this trade. My goal as a founder of this organisation is to provide the needed infrastructure. The leadership of the guild is placed with an elected council. Type: GUILD Membership: NON EXCLUSIVE Language: ENGLISH. Timezone: WORLDWIDE. Requirements: NONE. Applications: APPLICANTS MUST EXPLAIN THEIR REASONING FOR JOINING THE GUILD. FOR SOME MEMBERSHIP LEVELS CERTAIN ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS APPLY. THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE STATED BELOW. MEMBERSHIP IS GRANTED ON A CASE BY CASE EVALUATION. SELECTION CRITERIA INCLUDE: THE APPLICANTS POST HISTORY, THE APPLICANTS APPLICATION, THE APPLICANT'S SHIP PURCHASES. THE INTENDED PLAY STYLE OF THE APPLICANT. ETC... Guild structure. There is much to be debated about the purpose of the guild and its structure. At this point the guild merely exists to share information, theory-craft and host discussions. Below is the proposed structure of the guild at the time of writing this article, updates will be applied when changes have been made. The actual structure in game will be appropriate to the size and influence of the guild at the time the game reaches a playable state. This is by no means the final state of the guilds structure and workings. OPERATIONS COUNCIL FLEET OPERATIONS The executing force behind the council. Whatever the Council decides GUILD OPERATIONS will aim to realize. To join OPERATIONS talk to one of the founding members and offer up your skills. We are looking for players with a strong administrative background, players with a history in media and design and players with a history in ICT. We are looking for adult professionals who are reliable and not power hungry. COUNCIL The elected body that governs The Nightingale, to join our council join our bi-monthly elections. These will be held as soon as the game reaches a playable BETA state. The council decides on points that OPERATIONS should work on. The council itself appoints a head of the council who makes the final decisions and acts as the liaison between the council and the operations sections of the guild. Council members can not be members of guild operations to prevent conflict of interests. FLEET The military wing of The Nightingale, upon council orders the FLEET will be called on to act as one. FLEET membership is on voluntary basis. FLEET leadership is appointed per mission by the council. Should you wish to join the FLEET please contact a member of OPERATIONS who will provide you with the necessary information and apply the rank changes. Please note that at the time of writing there is no intention to have FLEET act as an active division within the guild. The services of FLEET will only be called upon in select situations at request of the council. Frequently asked question What is the goal of your organisation?
