The Order of the Bloody Hand will be founding a N/E city as soon as it is economically viable. We are looking for groups to come and make this city their home. No matter what aspect of the game you want to be involved in there will be a place for you here. As long as you have a decent reputation and are within our alignment requirements.
I would like to attract a FC dedicated to crafting and one more focused on PVE to compliment the PVP focus of The Order. Respond here or via PM if you would like a spot.

I'm going to tuck this next to your Company recruitment thread in Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links.

I would hope that evil in PFO isn't retarded.
You're certainly a good example of that, and your'e not alone. I hope there are many more.
As I've said elsewhere, The Seventh Veil has a long history of supporting Evil as long as it's not a cover for grief-play. There's a tremendous amount of value in having real human beings playing Evil well, and we want to encourage that.

Indeed, and I plan to be a neutral merchant who would gladly sell to your settlement. However, by tying myself to your settlement I would both close off a section of the market (the goody goody's) and potentially endanger myself by keeping most of my work within an evil area (not just danger from the evil outlaws, but danger from the good crusaders as well). No offense meant, but I'd rather keep back from the good/evil conflict and sell sticks to both sides. :)
I think it'll be a very fun way to play; evil lands will probably be more dangerous, and dealing at all with evil characters might get some righteous zealots on my tail, but if I play carefully I imagine I can profit tidily off the risks, given that less merchants are willing do deal with evil players. I wish you luck in recruiting people to your settlement!

When I say goody-goody, I meant a good-aligned character. I have no doubt that there will be good aligned characters killing evil aligned merchants; there's even the Crusader flag to aid in this type of play. This is not even taking into account the fact that the Good settlements will likely actively start wars with the Evil ones for no reason better than "they're the bad guys" (not saying they shouldn't, just saying it'll probably happen). Thus I increase my exposure to Good-aligned PvP'ers who want to kill me if I join an Evil settlement. I personally believe that I can minimize the amount of PvP'ers after my hide, and thus minimize my risks, by staying neutral in the Good vs Evil conflict. Just to be clear, this is a personal opinion, and I'll just have to wait until the game's release to see if my hunch is right.
Edit: Even a paladin has free reign to kill my character if my settlement's at war with his. If I'm part of neither settlement, the paladin won't kill me, and the Evil leader will probably reign in his bandits inside his own settlement's lands so that I can do business with him. After all, Evil settlements need supplies and commerce as much as Good settlements do.

If at war yes, but if not and you are neutral, LG cant touch you.
And yeah, in reality it will all depend on each company or individual for that matter.
I will say this though, if your working with Nostramo officially, you wont be touched by the UNC. Im sure I can speak for Bludd on that one.
When I say officially, I dont mean in the same "settlement" but just aligned as a merchant.
In other words, set blue.

Blue meaning having good standing with the organization if you don't play eve online. Also any merchant organization that sets up in Nostramo can expect a degree of protection from The Order. We understand that we need people to buy the things we produce and sell us things that we can;t make ourselves.
I wouldn't mind attracting a group of merchants who wants to make our city there home to take advantage of the undead/slave labor we will be exploiting as soon as these things are implemented.

The UnNamed Company will support any settlement that has its doors open to our Bandits and Assassins.
That support will vary in degrees:
1. We will give you moral support for your project.
2. We will spend our money in your town, on goods and or services.
3. We will entertain various types of contracts.

No, that would be a sponsorship. I just mean simply, allowing us in the doors to trade, train and sleep off a night's worth of debauchery!
A settlement that won't attack on sight an Outlaw flagged up or someone with a small or moderate amount of low reputation. I'd love to be able to enter a town, forty strong, all flying our Outlaw / Assassin / Traveler flags. It would remind me of my days in an Outlaw Biker MC in Fallen Earth.

Thank you for the clarification. It was hard to understand exactly what you had in mind, and my original thought was "any settlement which lets my bandits pillage their areas", which didn't sound right. :P
I agree that a powderkeg outskirt town where everyone's flagged for PvP and things could go off in a second would be a pretty fun experience.

It appears that alignment based flags are gone, and now it will be faction flags that we fly....

Aren't they supposted to do another "kickstarter-ish" thing where people can get in early, maybe not month 1 or 2, but before OE? I have been away for a bit so I forget but I think they said they (GW) were wanting to do something.
As Bludd said, I also (and prolly all of UNC) support what your trying to do here. A fully PVP flagged city (meaning everyone must be flagged to enter) sounds fun and exciting. Bar fights will be expected and shop-keepers able to "teach" shoplifter's a lesson LOL. Brings a smile to my face.

The primary character type I have planned will be a cutthroat stone-mason type. The idea is to form a builder-archtype that is evil, instead of neutral or good.
I see it now...
"More spikes on the parapets I said!
That oil isn't boiling, merely simmering... turn it up.
Out of wood? Burn some of those undead, they're not doing anything important right now.
Plenty more where they came from, the Erebus Company likes to bring corpses back with 'em from a fight anyway.
We'll animate those if we need more workers.
No, you can't have a pink accent wall in the Grand Hall ... unless it's Intestine Pink, that could work..."
Something like Nostramo might just work for me.
