Enough said.

Here is a map showing all the settlement placements this week with names color-coded to better understand the geopolitical scheme. I think everyone will find it helpful. Thanks to fellow FMS guildmate, Sundracon for making this:

If we miscalculated something please let me know!

I am back from my vacation! So excited to be back in the swing of things. I'm still the diplomat & recruiter for Full Metal Syndicate, I didn't dissapear.

From the beginning FMS has worked very hard to find our niche. Back around the time of the second kickstarter, we arrived on the forums under our main guild's name, Gayme 0n. We were passively reading the GW information trickling in.

Then a few months back we get the wake-up call from other companies that Land Rush is imminent. We quickly realize we need to figure out our part in the community. Gayme 0n is a brilliant rainbow of players, one of the few multi-game LGBT organizations. We fiercely love that rainbow, but we need to be more than that. So Full Metal Syndicate was born, focusing on crafting & metals.

That's when the diplomacy really started. The Big Three all opened their doors and welcomed us whole-heartedly. For me, that was the first moment that I really got excited about the community. The positivity was overflowing. I am sure the other independents know exactly what I am saying.

At the time though, we didn't feel like we had gotten our idea right. We developed our thoughts long range. We need to be economically strong to build ourselves in the early, we need to specialize in the midgame, and at the time siege happens we will be interdependent with other companies and settlements.

Crafting some things that are exclusive will help us early game, but what was missing for the mid-game? That's where paladins, justice, and religion came in. Other communities are going for broad appeal, while we are staying focused.

However, we know that alone we would be weaker. Furthermore, we expected mergers to happen during Land Rush, so we started as soon as we can. We are incredibly lucky to find Peace Through Vigilance and Fidelis, they both want the same things we do. And it's really great building Ozem's Vigil together.

We have accomplished a lot as a company. We founded the largest independent settlement that exists in Land Rush so far. I'm sure there is plenty of speculation why we are still independent. The point of this lookback is to clearly and definitively proclaim: We are a company based in diversity, we take our independence very seriously. We want to keep that atmosphere for our players.

In the socialization that is happening during Land Rush, information is getting muddled. By looking back on all the positive gameplay we've all experienced, Full Metal Syndicate just wants to reinforce what our company's core value is, because it truly goes beyond pixels.

Full Metal Syndicate, in cooperation with Peace Through Vigilance, is excited to announce the name of our settlement in Pathfinder Online!

Deep in the mountains and foothills of the River Kingdoms, Ozem’s Vigil will be a bastion of light in the darkness. We will build a Lawful Good community that is militant, religious, and welcoming to players & companies of a similar vein. We will be a diverse community, opening our gates to all kinds that have not strayed from the law or embraced evil.

Playing it Lawful Good will be one of the hardest roles to play, yet one of the most powerful. Always abiding the law and avoiding evil acts will be a burden to some players, but there are rewards to reap for being quintessentially good and wholesome. We will revel in PvE content while vigilant against all evil-doers.

We will build a strong a economy. One steeped in metal & stone, to befit a proper army. We will strive to be as vigilant as the Knights of Ozem were, in protecting their former leader, Iomedae. She is the goddess of righteous valor, justice, and honor in Golarion and a source of inspiration for our settlement. Religious-themed players, such as Paladins, Clerics, etc. will harmonize well with Ozem’s Vigil.

righteous valor, justice, and honor; the hardest road

Full Metal Syndicate, is the LGBT focused guild for the upcoming MMO, Pathfinder Online from Gayme0n. We strongly urge all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allies to join. Full Metal Syndicate is very excited to be the premier LGBT community that will be part of the Land Rush. This is the time to be part of the beginning of a new experience and represent your fellow gaymers in the River Kingdoms.

It’s Good to be Crafty
Like many of the other guilds finding their footing in Golarion, the Full Metal Syndicate will have a strong thematic element to cohesively fit within the River Kingdoms, because we are more than a group of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender, and allies in Pathfinder Online. We are going to be merchants focusing on metal and stone crafting. Therefore we will be a Lawful Neutral settlement, interested more in the law of economics than in the rule of justice and equality. However we are not aloof from politics, and are excited about the future of the River Kingdoms in Pathfinder Online.

Become a Metalhead
Obviously, as a LGBT community, we encourage diversity. This is especially important in playstyle. We need PvE, PvP, diplomats, crafters, soldiers, gatherers, etc. We want our settlement to be diverse, healthy, and inclusive, which is why we are striving for economic prosperity first, to ensure a strong home for our community and those of a similar affinity. So we have a home for almost every playstyle.
