2. Start 1 Dwarven-related topic in Forums for general discussion/discourse (hey, it may lead to another sub for you!)
3. Read, vote, and comment on, 3 Dwarven-related submissions by others (non-member subs allowed. If it don't smell Dwarven, let 'em have it! If it feels Dwarven, invite them to join our guild!)
4. Must assign yourself at least a "3" at first level in strength, endurance, and constitution, respectively (Int, etc is less important to us Dwarves)

7. Must add "Dwarven Guild" freetext on all subs

Remember, this is the Dwarven Guild. Entry should not be easy! You have to break a sweat first, before you can sit among us gargling ale and making fun of those "other" effeminate Guilds!

WOOO!!!

Is that three new subs, or do past subs count?

Murometz · « **Reply #4 on:** September 21, 2012, 03:54:03 PM »

For Level 1, they must be new (1 stub allowed, 2 subs). However, to achieve level 2 once you're level 1, you can go and add a Dwarven Guild Freetext to all of your pre-existing Dwarven subs, and voila!! Each 2 counts as 1 new sub for the purposes of achieving 2nd level. Bam! So, lets say you already have 6 existing Dwarven-themed subs somewhere out there. Add the freetext and you've achieved the "3"you need for 2nd level! Shazzam! If lets say you have 4 of those, then you simply count that as 2 and add 1 more new one. Cha-ching!

Hope all is clear now, Happy Dwarving!!

I hereby declare myself to the Dwarven cause and swear off frolicking with the elves till it is done.

Hope you approve of the graphic! Maybe that is worth a stub or submission credit for Guild entrance?

Strolen · « **Reply #7 on:** September 23, 2012, 10:49:13 AM »

Not sure if I ever did reply in here that I am SOOOO in on this quest.

My goal: To beat the Guild Leader in entering his own Guild!!!

Bragging rights baby!

I am joining your dwarf quest

Strolen · « **Reply #9 on:** September 23, 2012, 12:03:50 PM »

Hurray!!!! Lets go get us some dark elves!

I am working on dwarven submission, but I am torn. I feel like I should write something simple without a lot of prose. Something that will get three votes and hang at about 3.3. Perhaps something a little offensive so it will get some discussion going. The current climate of voting here seems to favor simple items or pieces with an easily accessible structure. For example 30 lists, items, 500 word character descriptions and so. These are thing you can a have quick response to and move on, in that sense they are more interactive. The guild requirements are actually making me think, "How will this play at the Citadel" But I say.............No............I am not going after the guild by writing something about dwarves I would written anyway, I upping the bets here. I say we go with dwarf fiction!

Graphic rocks, thanks Strolen, and is absolutely worth a stub! You sir, are officially relieved of your 1 stub requirement

I wouldn't over-think it

but dwarf fiction sounds good!

I am thinking of joining the Dwarf Guild, but I have a concern. What if I want to submit something later on that is not dwarven? When you say "add Dwarven Guild freetext" to all your subs going forward, do you mean only post dwarven submissions from now on?

Strolen · « **Reply #13 on:** September 28, 2012, 03:23:53 AM »

Only those during the quest "can" get the freetext, but they don't "have" to.

Joining a quest locks you into that quest till you finish it or beg to get out. So during that time you can still do whatever you want, it just can't count towards any other quests. Any quest fulfilling subs need to have the freetext. Others don't. Once you finish the quest, you are released to join another or continue to do whatever. It is just to keep from using the same post to fill the quest requirements for 5 other guilds. Plus, if you pledge to the Guild and don't finish that quest, there should be penalties to get out without completing.

So, generally, the only ones that need the Dwarven Freetext are the ones that are specifically fulfilling the Dwarven Guild Quests.

Murometz · « **Reply #14 on:** September 28, 2012, 11:47:11 AM »

Yep, what Strolen said. I merely meant that all of your dwarven subs should get a dwarven guild freetext, only so far as they apply to the dwarven guild quests

Agar · « **Reply #15 on:** September 28, 2012, 12:54:31 PM »

Consider me a Dwarf then. I have one sub conceptualized, I'll get it out as soon as I'm not at work, etc, and kicking around some ideas for some others.

Murometz · « **Reply #16 on:** September 28, 2012, 03:09:50 PM »

My beard just grew an inch in excitement at the prospect of a venerable Strolenite like Agar, joining our vertically-challenged guild

Mourngrymn · « **Reply #17 on:** September 29, 2012, 10:41:58 AM »

Vertically challenged just means when I raise your dead body, you don't have to RAISE so far...

I, too, will take a foot or two off my height. I, too, shall re-sharpen old axes and re-blunt old hammers. I, too, shall join this guild.

Strolen · « **Reply #19 on:** November 08, 2012, 04:30:14 PM »

Awesome!! Start a separate topic and we will pour you the finest ale (The stuff we hide when any elves are around. They get addicted to it, can't handle it and are just obnoxious as hell when drunk on it.)

Murometz · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2012, 10:22:19 PM »

The Dwarven Guild is proud to have you. Dig deep and prosper!

Gossamer · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2013, 05:01:43 AM »

While I may be playing a half-elf at the moment of writing this, in my chest beats a dwarven heart.
And since I make a lot of dwarven subs anyways, might as well pledge.
