CAVE STATUS
QUESTS/EVENTS
Torrential downpours cause localized flooding and many upset cats. Along with these frequent rain, from gentle drizzles to heavy rainfall, there seems to be a flux of Magicka drawn in particular to water sources. Occasional jet streams of warm air make narrower tunnels harder to navigate. On occasion, the rain intensifies, becoming howling storms with sleet or large hail. However, the temperatures overall are a little warmer, with snow and ice in temperate caves somewhat receding.

Contest: Job Faire!
Is your character innovative, diligent, a team player? Are you ready to put your character out there, get them noticed, so that they can make a change in the world? If you've answered YES to any of these questions, then we'd like to hear from you!
Job Faire is all about groups and drawing interest to our existing groups, as well as getting characters to join them! This is a contest in which all kinds of characters can participate, from loners to dependent babies that surround themselves with other Gembounds every hour of the day. Each group will have a common goal: to win! And each prize is tailored to a group, so you'll have to use teamwork in order to succeed.
PART ONE!Deadline: January 17th, 11:59 EST
1. Each participating group must produce a roster of current and active members, as well as each member's position/job. Their job can be their rank or general purpose, but they must have one - that's why this contest is called Job Faire! After these rosters are posted, we will regroup characters accordingly.
2. Each group must produce a list of jobs that need to be filled. Again, these can be ranks that already exist within the group, or new jobs produced specifically for the purpose of the contest. Either way, there needs to be jobs that other characters can fill. You can offer a limited number of jobs, but that may end up being detrimental to your group's score - so if you do offer limited jobs, be sure to offer an unlimited position as well.
3. Unofficial groups may also enter! While we are looking to focus on existing groups, if there is enough interest in an unofficial group, we will allow it to participate. For the purpose of this contest, unofficial groups must possess a leader and a minimum of four founding followers (not including the leader).
PART TWO!Deadline: February 29th, 11:59 EST
Once all of our groups are set up, members will have to begin racking up points! If lone characters want to win, they'll have to join a group and help out!
+5 PTS Per Starting Member
Your group will automatically earn 5 PTS per member they start out with.
+15 PTS Per Recruited Member
Your group will earn 15 PTS for recruiting a character into their ranks. To qualify, a character must have been grouped as a Lone Gembound after Part Two begins, and the thread must be completed before the deadline with the character becoming an official member.
+10 PTS Per Job Performance
The point of this contest is to get a job, isn't it? So your group will earn 10 PTS for every completed thread in which a member is performing their given job. The thread must contain at least 5 posts of your character doing their job, which can be denoted in the post itself.
+20 PTS Per Group Thread
Party time! A group thread must include at least 3 members of a group (it can include loners and members of other groups as well, but to qualify for points, requires a minimum of 3 group members to be present).
+40 PTS Per 100% Participation Thread
If you can wrangle up every member of a group and have them all participate in a group thread, making a minimum of 2 posts per character, as well as complete this thread, then your group can nab a cool 40 PTS. That's why its important to have an updated roster and keep track of your active members!
Contest Rules/Requirements
In order to qualify or earn PTS, you must follow the rules and meet the requirements that are listed below. Any group or thread that doesn't meet the requirements do not count towards the contest.
— Group must have at least 1 designated and active leader.
— Each member must be active - any members sorted to Inactive do not count.
— Each thread completed for PTS must be a minimum of 10 posts long, and each post must be at least 200 words.
— Each member must have a job/rank/purpose in the group!
— Loners may not join a group simply to boost its PTS. Joining a group is a long-term commitment, and so loners who join groups during this contest are not permitted to be grouped to Lone Gembound for at least 3 months following the end of the contest. They are, however, permitted to join a different group.
— Threads must be made on or after January 18th to count for this contest.
Prizes!
Good job! You slogged through this whole post, so now you're ready to see what your group wins, right? Congratulations: they earn minimum wage and experience to put on their resume! Hahaha, just kidding!
First Place
The group with the highest amount of PTS will win a site skin based on the group (it will not feature members of the group, but rather follow the group's theme and feature their name), ʡ50 per member, and a fancy Job Faire Contest Winner achievement!
Runner-Ups
For simply participating, members of each group will receive ʡ20.

EVERY BONEBOUND MEMBER GETS A PROMOTION, YAY!
Current Bonebound members, feel free to PM me or hit me up on skype if you'd like for me to change what job/rank your character gets. I chose them based on what I think they'd be best at/prefer, but please let me know if you want something else! Descriptions are down below!
THE BONEBOUND HAVE SOME JOB OPENINGS!
BONEBOUND
SKULL - Skulls are Bonebound specialized in the field of thought and cunning. They are often healers or scouts for the clan.
TOOTH - Teeth of the Bonebound are warriors readied for battle. They are fierce and fight for what is right.
CLAW - Claws of the Bonebound are hunters, searching for food and skilled in tracking. If something goes awry, it is expected of the Claws to scout out what is occuring. Much of this rank is occupied by avians or canines.
Please tag me when it is my turn in threads!
If I have not replied to a thread in a week, feel free to skip me!
If you'd like me to use a different table in a thread
just let me know!

Join the MM today! We're a group of chaotic characters that offer mercenaries, thieves, assassins, and item trades! :D
Chief Bandit: Intelligent and usually the best thief within the group, their drive for command over all the treasures within the cave system is high. A significant figure head and leader, they hold command over all ranks within Merrymen except for Witch Doctor.
-Diamondfang
Witch Doctor: Not explicitly involved in the happenings of the Merrymen, in theory they share joint leadership with the Chief Bandit though it is usually never utilized. Instead, their focus is merely on exploiting the weaknesses of others for profit and aiding those within the Merrymen to keep them at optimal fitness and health.
-Louie
Thieves: Primarily what the original founding of the group stood for, they bring in the riches usually in a manner that tries to avoid violence where possible.
-Magdalena
-Howl
-Othello
Artillery: Usually not built to suit the needs of a thief, these warriors serve as the important body of the group, protecting their brothers and sisters through their brute strength and strong wills.
-Nemesis

Children of Rot!
We are a darker-themed group based in Cetus who will be focusing on some eviller things in the coming days. All for the greater good, of course. I'm still hoping for enough members to do crazy beautiful sick torch-lit shadow-dancing bonfire sacrifices, but until that time, we'll just be weird in the swamp.
Current Members:
Dragon - fat boss
Ghanyarah - Claw
Tal'at - Eyes
Czernobog - Claw
Willow - Maw
Pietro - Maw
Jobs Available:
Maw
The Maw are the spokespeople of the Children of Rot. They are those who will listen to Dragon's words, and those of Aquarian, and spread them to others. The scouts, the preachers and the priests are the Maw.
Claw
The Claw are the muscle and the brutes of the Children of Rot. They're the guardians of the smaller members, and the brawn if push comes to shove and we end up fighting giant dragons.
Eyes
The Eyes are the scouts--the eyes and the ears of the Children of Rot. They scout during hunts, and spy on other groups or ongoing situations within the cave where requested.
__________
Did I do this right? Did I miss something? Poke me if I messed it up x)
There are plenty of job positions open in all three divisions within the Guardians.
1. The Scholars – Tasked with investigations, scouting missions and reports, the Scholars are wise and agile, quick on their feet and armed with wits. They may endure traveling the distance to seek out new knowledge or mingle around with the civilians to gain different perspectives. Not confined to their scripts, Scholars train both body and mind, and may sway the decision of the Alphas in everyday matters. They are the mediators and problem-solvers, front-line peacekeepers and investigators where violence is not needed.
2. The Guards – Armed with physical and/or magical power, Guards have great control over body and/or soul. Their strength may not lie in their knowledge of current affairs, but are expected to judge situations with wisdom, be prudent in action and have magical and/or physical capabilities. Reasonably skilled in battle and tasked with the duty of protecting civilians, they are expected to be ready to meet danger head on and use their might for the greater good. Common everyday duties involve protecting The Guardian's territory, or accompanying the artisans and scholars on tasks given by the Guardian's Leaders or Origin quests.
3. The Artisans – Artisans are masters of their craft and are tasked with innovation and devotion of their skills for the betterment of those around them. Almost any skill is accepted, as long as it is edifying to the Guardians and may perhaps benefit civilians. Armour crafting, healing, hunting, fortune-telling etc. Have a character that can produce lots of rainbow poop that sparkle for aesthetics? Count yourself in. Artisans stand as equals to Guards and Scholars – their strength lies in innovation, individuality and interdependence. They may be loosely classified as mercenaries but are greatly respected for they do not exist for profit, instead they use their abilities to make individual contributions to the Guardians and/or Origin. Those with healing abilities are also considered part of this division.

In order to qualify for group threads, these trials need to contain 3+ characters. Also, I don't know what ranks the rest want, so please PM me so I can list them! Once we have 3+ characters for each trial, we'll get the threads started.
Also @Thistle@Nova are your characters joining Maji Walezi? If so, we need a joining thread!
