Twisted Legends (Gaming Community) Now recruiting!

[ThePrelate]

Greetings inhabitants of Leviathan server, from the Twisted Legends!

Our Guild Motto: “Moogles go to heaven, Legends go all the way!”

Our Guild song: https://soundcloud.com/robbysager/twisted-legends-demo2 (yeah, we're cool)

Twisted Legends is gaming community that is looking for quality applicants to join our FC on Leviathan, and our online gaming community (we are a presence in many games and MMO’s with roughly 300 members at this time). We also know that this is a game, and your life offline is your priority (most of the time.. we all have those days..). “RL comes first”. We do not have mandatory attendance policies, but we do ask that if you sign up for something or tell someone you'll do something, that you honor that obligation, or at least let us know if something comes up that you can't.

Whether you join us in Twisted Legends, or not, I strongly encourage each of you that is looking for an authentic and enjoyable social/guild/game experience to really get to know the leadership and membership of any guild you consider joining. It will have an impact on your overall game experience, and since we game to have fun, why cheat yourself of exactly the right kind of guild you want/need to maximize your enjoyment of a game?!

Being in a guild (or Free Company/FC as they’re known in FFXIV), especially the right guild, will make or break your overall game experience. If you find a group of people you enjoy talking to, trust to have your back and help you when you need it, and can count on for all manner of fun and shenanigans, you will enjoy the game a LOT. Conversely, if you are in a guild that is horrible to you, or is boring, inactive, or just a waste of your time.. the game itself will feel the worse for it. A lot of people have come to me over the years, saying they joined a new/small guild because they were promised rank, raids, or something, and then the guild fell apart before it could even pretend to deliver on any promises, let alone raiding or raid loot. Another issue is people who join a guild that sounds good in 2 sentences in general chat recruiting, but after joining, finding out the guild is terrible, or has terrible leadership. A bad guild can ruin a good game! If you are looking for a genuine social experience that you can enjoy, don’t join a “McGuild”, and don’t just join any guild because they send you an invite or offer you XYZ without any evidence they can deliver (this also includes the guilds that talk about what they will do when they have enough people). However, if you don’t care where you are, so long as you have a guild tag, then by all means, the mega guilds, McGuilds, and countless small guilds with inactive leaders are waiting to tag you like a migratory animal!


A small FAQ about Twisted Legends:

Q: Who, or what, are the Twisted Legends?

A: We are a gaming community that was founded by friends, on the basis of a solid guild environment that emphasized a constructive and enjoyable environment for people to maintain existing friendships, while always looking to add new people to the fold and build new relationships. We believe in play smart, talk smack, have fun, and ALWAYS have each others back! If you like “Family Guy”, then you’d love our guild. We may talk smack and have potty mouths, but bigotry isn’t allowed. We value integrity in our members and applicants, and demand nothing less than 100% honest and honorable. Also, we are NOT for the faint of heart! We are highly socialized, love to laugh, and are fiercely loyal to each other. Giggity!


Q: What do you have to offer me as a player?

A: Just about everything. While we are not a “HARDKORE” (because that “K” always makes it srs bizness) Raid or PVP guild (been there, done that over the years), we believe in playing smart and competently, but primarily we play to have fun. We have a solid group of PVP’ers who run several times a week in small groups, or in guild PVP. We have solid talent in the guild, and always looking to recruit new talent for our raid teams and PVP teams. As such, our schedules for those teams will be based on each team and what its members can/can’t do. We’ve run as many as 4 raid teams simultaneously in other games, and I’m confident we will be able to continue to offer the same level of flexibility and leadership in FFXIV. We also have people playing and running instances at nearly all hours of the day, every day of the week, as well as PVPing (most of our PVP team action tends to be at night). We have a wealth of crafters in guild. About all we don’t do is roleplay – though we are known to get out our robes and wizard hats on date night IRL! We offer a stable environment with some great people. No politics, drama, or BS that seems inevitable with so many guilds. In fact, we’re pretty ruthless on drama queens or people who failed to find their manners in childhood.. it’s usually an instant gkick. We are happy to accept members of all levels or gear levels.

What we require in our applicants:

• Age 18+ - we are not looking to censor ourselves because minors are around. You are expected to have a grasp on basic social norms and understand that while we are pretty easy going, if you say something that is obviously offensive, you are grown up enough to apologize if it upsets someone, and make a point to not repeat the mistake. We don’t want your mommy or daddy getting in vent because you were exposed to bad words or ideas. You are also expected/assumed to be sophisticated enough to not be a bigot – diversity is a good thing when you need a group of people with varied talents to play different roles.

• Ventrilo is MANDATORY if you want to Raid with us. If you have no mic, that is ok (not ideal, but allowed), so you will need to be in vent and listening to directions.

• A robust, immature, and healthy sense of humor. (Seriously, we’re not for the faint of heart). If you are easily offended, then honestly, you won’t like us. As a group, we strongly agree that it is important for a player to like the guild as much as the guild likes the person. We also enjoy people with a dry and cutting sense of humor, too

• Integrity is mandatory! We expect you to treat each member of the guild with the same level of integrity you expect others to offer you. Be honest, honor whatever you commit to, and no gossip/drama. I (the GM), have very little tolerance for people who flake out on others consistently, cause trouble, or can’t/won’t be honest. If you’re a douche, go join a ‘McGuild’ that has hundreds of people and won’t care for, or about, it’s members.

• ***You need to understand what loyalty is. If you are just looking for a guild to give you crafting mats, or you’re bored and want a new guild tag, we’re not going to be the right place for you. You should be looking for a new home, with the desire and intent to stick around for a few years, if not for life (many of us have known each other 7+ years). We need to know that you are as invested in being a part of us, as we will be in embracing you into the fold. (We’re not a cult, but we drink like one!)

• We do have a private guild website and forum that is for member use only. We do the bulk of our information sharing, and mandatory PVP and Raid team sign-ups there, and a fair amount of off-topic chatter and talk. While casual membership in the guild does not require you register or use the forums, if you plan on being a regular attendee on our Raids or guild PVP events you are required to use the forums. Because we play so many games (MMO, console, and PC), our forums can be a wealth of information.. and dirty jokes.

If you have read all of this this, and find yourself curious for more information, please check out our website at this link. Alternately, contact an officer in game. Send a tell or in-game message to Dorian Skyphire (GM), Brickette Aine, Tea Cup, or any member of Twisted Legends can direct you to an officer.

If you are a GM, officer or other authorized representative for your guild, and you are looking for a possible guild merger, please contact an officer directly in game. Look for Dorian Skyphire or Brickette Aine. If we’re not online and you don’t want to send us a message in-game, look for anyone with the "Twisted Legends" guild tag, as they can help you get in touch with the officers online at that time.

If you have read all of this, and you KNOW you want to join, please fill out the application at this link. (Applications are required of all applicants). http://twistedlegends.com/apply.html

Whether you join Twisted Legends, or not, I sincerely wish each of you the best possible game experience.

May the 12 Bless you in your journeys in Eorzea!


PS: If you are thinking about applying to us, please do not apply if you're also applying to multiple guilds at once. We're not interested in people who are not actually sure of where they want to be. If you apply to us, and we discover that you have active apps out to other guilds you will be removed (from applicant status, or from the guild if we had accepted you) and you will not be welcome back. I know that is considered harsh by some people, but we are a gaming community where most members become good friends - Twisted Legends is not a guild with no investment in people who walk in the door. If you're the one night stand equivalent of a guild hopper.. please don't bother.

Prophecy of the Twisted Legends

Blessed are those who read aloud the words of the prophecy
And blessed are those who hear
And those who know the Legends

For the time is near
They will follow the Cataclysm
And every eye will see them
Every foe will be pierced by them

And all who would oppose them shall wail on account of them
Those who have not yet learned the fury of these Legends,
I know your works, I know your toil, and your enduring hope.
And how you can no longer endure the selfishness of those who would stand against Legends
You have tested those who called themselves legends, but are not.

You found them to be false
I know that you are enduring patiently
That you have grown weary
but I have this against you
that you have abandoned the power you had

For they will rise from the winds of destiny with unstoppable power and bloodthirst
With a powerful and blasphemous leader at their head
And these Legends will blaze like a supernova in the night
Its fighters roared with might
Its wielders of magic radiating power
In its foes, will it sink its destructive and righteous strength

And all of creation will watch these Legends with awe and wonder
And they will worship these Legends saying
“Who can contain their power and who can fight against their power?”

And these Legends will open their mouths to utter haughty and blasphemous words of war.
They will wage unmitigated war on the on their foes and will conquer them
And their members come from every race,
And people and tongue and of every nation of creation
And all who dwell on creation not of them, will know great pain and failure

If anyone has an ear let them hear
If anyone who slays with the sword
Let them remember these words

Then, after the breaking I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
And I heard the Twelve say:
“Behold the Legends are reborn among their friends
They will dwell with them, and they shall avenge their people
And vengeance and retribution will be their tools
They will cause endless blood and tears to flow from their foes
And they shall be death and destruction everlasting
They shall cause their foes to tremble in despair and wail for days without end
For the time of the Ascian is about to pass away

For the Legends will offer retribution without price
With fountains of blood and strife
Those who conquer shall have this heritage
And they will be your Legends and you will be their people.

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, and the polluted
As for the weak, the flawed, the liars, and all Ascians
Their lot will be eternal destruction by the righteous wrath of these Legends

And I say to you:
“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy, for the time is here.
Behold, the Twisted Legends are here.”
