    Getting in there first: Blackthorn Ltd.

     

    I have decided to get in there first as it's only a matter of time before someone else makes a sort of group like this.

    Blackthorn Ltd. is a mercenary company for fellow gamers who are relentless in the pursuit of gold, specifically by selling their skills to other players.

    I am founding the company before the game even starts so I can say it was the first of its type and because it means I have time to find someone to build a website Stick out tongue [:P]

    So far there is only 1 rule:

    1. You do what you are paid to do.

    Anyone who accepts a contract then refuses to do that contract will be removed from the company.

    Hopefully this will be of interest to a fair amount of people and I can compile a list and players seeking help can choose from said list based on prices, skills and personality of each employee of the company.

    Anyone interested in either taking part by either being on the list or helping me se tit up either leave a post here or PM me.

    Anyone who is interested will be contacted nearer the release date (unless they are helping with a website etc).

    Re: Getting in there first: Blackthorn Ltd.

    Really freaking cool idea. I was actually waiting for someone to do this.

    I'm wondering how it's going to be organised, though. How will people know a) where to go and b) what kind of 'agent' they're getting?

    I'm interested in becoming a muscle for hire, and this sounds like a way to find work.

    I'll join the list Stick out tongue [:P]

    Well there are two ways it could be organised really.

    One just like a group of people with a couple of people organising and players pick off the list and contact them.

    The other is people pick off the list and contact the company, which then pass it on to the member in question, maybe at a price (generating actual money for the company). The advantage of this system means there could be a fund for newer members etc.

    In any case it's all in early stages, and you can feel free to decide it's not for you at any stage anyway so if you are interested just sign up and if you change your mind it doesn't matter.

     The second idea is more organised with a real structure, so I think that one.

    Blackwood is named after Blackwater, the American Private Military Corporation which basically has it's own army (a military grade base with 100,000+ men, fighter jets, tanks and other vehicles all highly trained with equipment better then the US Army...).

    There are British PMCs too and I might change the name to match one of them but I can't think of any really catchy names. The biggest in the UK is called "Aegis Defence" and Aegis Ltd. does sound cool but I'm not sure about it. It used to be called Sandline International so I was thinking of Sandline too but didn't like it.

    Perhaps something like Albion Aegis Ltd?

    It needs a cool latin motto too.Like "Umbriator Nox" is a cool name.

    Well kit as weezer suggested you and your mate could always see if they'd be interested in helping form Blackthorn. Whichever method is chosen for the group I do intend on having a Board of Directors which keep the company in check.

    The rules will be few but they WILL be stuck to.

    So if you're interested send me a PM or something.

    This also has more posibilities, perhaps a full blown clan would be an idea.

    This sounds like a cool idea. Always liked the idea of being a Merc ever since playing Army of Two. Crazy [:crazy:]

    I think a Clan and a merc agency are two totally different ideas.

    One is for Hired Goons and the other is for just like... a family/community feel.

    Nah, as far as I can tell there's no point in a clan. Clans are only really G o o d [Good] for PvP. This will simply be a company that can be hired to solve your more physically challenging problems.

    Clans are usually competitive and things whereas this will only compete with any other sort of company in terms of getting clients, even if PvP were possible.

    Hopefully if we can get hold of someone G o o d [Good] with websites and things we'll have a forum and all the other kind of things for employees, so the difference between company and clan wont be too great.

    Re: Getting in there first: Blackthorn Ltd.

    True enough, just throwing it out there, I know alot of clans who look for new members, and we could rent out members for say COD4 for a week, and recieve some form of payment. Not sure how the compensation aspect would work though. But I'm quite happy to dominate Fable with our ruthless ways.
