Name: Maelstrom Company
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Preferred Alignments: CN/TN/CE/CG
Role: Soldier's of fortune, with an interest in politics.
Story: Maelstrom company was founded as a band of brother's who witnessed tyranny from both those who had pledged themselves towards the light, and those who were more nefarious. They had no intention of letting either side rule, accepting contracts for lower costs in order to keep their reputation up, while achieving their own goals of dethroning those who they viewed as to eager, or not in their best interests. Maelstrom believes in maintaining the balance of power between good and evil, viewing both as undesirable if they have too much control at any one time.
Philosophy: While we do not mind bending or breaking certain laws, if it suits our purpose, we are still honorable in a sense. We have no intention on actively seeking out those weaker then us, and will very rarely accept contracts for such things. We will always ensure a contract is fulfilled to your specifications, and will not give up or go back on it once accepted,if you need something smuggled we're your guys. Maelstrom will happily accept contracts at lower cost, if we believe said target is a threat to an area's stability or if said settlement is making too many land grabs.
Our game focus: As a Mercenary group, we are primarily military based, but in order to fund the war machine, we need all types to contribute from crafters to explores, so that we have the materials to fight, and know what terrain suits our needs the best. We are accepting all roles, and play styles, and would prefer more roleplay oriented people, whether that is casual or hardcore, either are welcome to join with us.
We are mainly American based Timezones, but will accept any.
Rules:
1) Since we rarely pick on the weak, random player killing in our name is not tolerated, there must be a purpose behind your actions, whether that be highly valued goods, or subverting a settlement getting supplied. We will however not tolerate griefing for any reason.
2) Always honor your agreements and your debts. A man is only as good as his word.
3) Be respectful, contracts come from good reputation, trolling does not lend itself well to respect.
4) We use Vent, and it is required in order to communicate effectively, you do not need a mic, but you must be on it to at least listen.
Website is currently a work in progress, so if you are interested in joining with us, either respond to the thread or send me a PM.

I've added your Guild to the Guild Recruitment & Helpful Links list. If you have a brief description you'd like to appear there to let people know about your guild while they're browsing that list, just PM me or post a clear request here.
Also, The Seventh Veil welcomes you to the community, and extends an offer of Diplomatic Outreach. (Note, this is not an offer for Alliance, just a way to open formal channels for private discussions.)

Quick debrief:
- Some Goblin Squad are collaborating in Darkfall. See relevant threads.
- Mike Hines Vid: Pathfinder Online Work In Progress Video
- Hiatus in current blogs while Goblinworks works on Milestone 3:
Now we're looking forward to Milestone 3. We haven't used codenames for these milestones yet, but we're jokingly calling Milestone 3 "Kielbasa" because the objective is to polish polish polish the existing work we did in Milestones 1 and 2.
- More dev blogs and discussion; kickstarter fulfillment tool; GenCon etc.

I figure it's about time to post about how we are structured, and our views on certain hot topic matters.
We are an oligarchy ruled by a council of three, each council member is divided by alignment, and advocates for members that fall into said alignment.
Cyneric: Neutral alignment
Morbis: Evil
Huin: Good
In this way all members below council are fairly represented within the guild.
Our primary task is as a standing army, assassin's or caravan guards for hire, we are mercenaries and will be primarily focused on contract work. As such, banditry is a low priority for us, and not something that we will participate in regularly.
We are still taking contracts, however we have recently entered into an alliance with Golgotha, so any future contracts must not conflict with the terms of said alliance.
With that said, since everyone seems to be doing it all willy and or nilly, I figure I should join the party and talk at least about my views on griefing and what have you.
I view griefing as something that is repeated, so corpse camping and the like, as well as anything that is verbally abusive, or could be considered harassment.
I do not view RPK as griefing, though I would like to encourage people to make RPK at least fun or interesting for both parties rather then, I kill you and take your stuff. Perhaps throw in some RP, or make some sort of crazy demand for pants or green hats, something at least more memorable then just a gank.
If anyone has any questions feel free to comment in said thread, or send me a pm.

This should be an abiding mantra for PfO. It is exactly what I would like to see happen. And I shall carry a green hat, just for you.

Completely under my own volition, with no one standing behind me with a knife or anything, I am shamelessly posting in this thread to remind people of how awesome Maelstrom Company is. Especially that Cyneric Torrin, wow, he is such a great person.
help me
I hate everyone in this thread, especially Cyneric as he is forcing me to post on these forums on pain of death.
I reluctantly declare myself blandly interested in being an active member of Maelstrom.
Don't help Morbis by the way - hes very shady looking. There is a science to recognising people who don't deserve help, and filthy scotsmen like himself are almost always undeserving.

For anyone who is curious, PotatoMcWhiskey was also involved in the Murderherd back in the day. I know that a few people on the TS have recognized the name.
I was known as Jamboreen then, much drinking and carousing was involved. Still in touch with some of those gentlemen.
