Guild Wars 2

Hey there Tarnished Coast and lands beyond. I’m the leader of The Papacy on Tarnished Coast. If you play on TC, or if you’re in WvW’s tier 2 you may have seen us around now and then.

It has come to my attention that a large number of people would like the rewards from guild missions, but don’t have the time or resources to devote to unlocking them, don’t want to leave their own guilds, or don’t want to become part of a large guild. We get it. We’re a small guild ourselves and wouldn’t dream of changing that.

We have dreams though, and those dreams are to complete guild missions. Your dreams are all the fancy things on the commendation vendor. I figure between the two of us we can get some of that done.

We’re moving up the Economics line, and we’d like to present the unguilded, small guilded, or just plain greedy a very simple option:

You’re all invited to join us as event participants. We don’t care if you rep outside of events. We don’t care if you contribute influence. We don’t care if you leech. Our guild will have a few more people to do these events with, and you will have a pressure-free opportunity to get the guild commendations you’re after (and also experience the content)

The current Schedule is:

Public Access Guild Bounty
7PM Server time (10PM EST)
Mondays
Tarnished Coast Server
Rally in Lion’s Arch

• If you’d like to participate in guild missions with us as they become available, simply submit a PM to me via these forums. I’ll add you to the roster as an Event Participant. I also may write you a poem. In my head. In broken sixth grade french.
• The Event Participant rank is a pressure free rank with no permissions other than representing, which you can use just for the mission rewards and then turn off if you like.
• We ask only that you treat other participants (and actual POPE members) with respect whenever you’re in our guild chat. If you become a problem in chat or actively work against mission goals you’ll be removed from the event participation roster. Also, I’ll say BOOO very loudly and make you feel ashamed of your behavior.
• Missions will be held on weekends, with times noted in the guild MOTD as soon as they are available to us. You are not required to show up, and we are not required to wait for you.
• You are neither required nor expected to represent any time you don’t want to, nor are you required to pay or donate anything you don’t want to (You can if you want though. That would be swell.)
• Missions will be unlocked as fast as we can gain the influence. This will be exactly as fast as we gain it and no faster. If you want to help speed it up, that’s fine. If not, that’s okay too. If it’s not progressing fast enough for you, we understand if you remove yourself from the roster.
• We understand that we are not your primary guild, and we don’t expect to be. Similarly, don’t expect us to afford you permissions befitting a normal member of POPE. You’re here for the missions only and we’re happy to have you. Think of yourself as a friend of the family. An awesome friend that kills things for that family. Like a hitman that owes someone a debt of honor, or a psychopath.
• If you do decide you’d like to become a full member later, there will be an additional review. This is not an open recruitment, it’s simply an opportunity for those who want to do the missions, and for us to have some extra help on them while compensating those that help fairly with the rewards.
• There may occasionally be non-mission guild events, to which you’re also invited. These events may include acts of abject stupidity, cake, ice cream, free loot, certain death, Quaggans, PvP, PvE, WvW, and a number of other elements too numerous to mention. Said events will also be marked and scheduled in the guild MOTD.

Spread this message to anyone you think might want it, and stay tuned to this thread for updates on our upgrade progress and event schedules.

Updated OP with current schedule.
We’ll be running public access bounties every Sunday on TC at 7PM Server time.

For anyone that needs an invite get with myself (PopeUrban.2578) or whisper one of the following people ingame most nights:

ChronicOne.1965 (POPE Member)
WolfeMan.5324 (POPE Member)
PopeInnocent.4605 (POPE Member)

In addition, I’ve created a new rank for event staff, so if you’ve got a group of friends, or you’d just like to help spread the love for these public access missions just let me know and I’ll give you a staff ranking you can use to invite people as participants.

Updated OP again. Schedule has been moved back one hour to 6PM server time based on needs of some guild members.

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of the guests who came and helped us succeed in completing our first bounty hunt on our first try.

It’s a beginning of a beautiful friendship, and we hope to see you next week!

Schedule updated to 7PM server time mondays to accomodate guild members with a new baby.

Thanks to the regulars and not-so regulars that have made these so much fun!

Cheers!
