The Accord of Milani


Pathfinder Online


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The Milani Accord (MA) is a group of sovereign players united in our agreement to fight any kind of oppression in PFO. It is our belief that oppression comes in many forms, and we are dedicated to providing a place in Pathfinder Online where players who are willing to fight it can do so, no matter what their in game alliances might be. Towards that end, we have come together to announce our intentions to the community, and to invite all who share these goals to join us.

If you follow anything on these board, you already know who Milani is.

If you, as a player is interested in joining MA, simply email me at Milaniriver@Hotmail.com or send me a message on the boards. If you have any questions, please send a private message on these forums to me.

You will be put on a list, which will always be kept secret, so that you can be contacted once (not when) a significant oppressive threat have formed.

AM have a central leadership, build up around players that already know each other from many other MMO's.
Each of these individuals will get a district under them, which are to be determined once EE starts.

Your role, will be the role of a sleeper agent.
You will not know your handler and all contact will be done out of game, through the email provided above.

We are about freedom and choices, so we do not expect you to follow our lead as blind sheep. You will always have a choice.
We are NOT about power, other than making sure that no one group gets too much of it.

We have seen servers and games getting wrecked, from large alliances trying to enforce their rules on everyone else.
We are fully expecting this to happen in PFO, and have already seen the early signs.
Instead of being part of the politics, this time around, we will dedicate ourselves to being equalizers.

We already have agents in the larger groups and some of the smaller ones.
While it is important that you are a member of a group yourself, it is not acquired.

All communication will happen through messages and emails from this point on.

Sounds to me like an Insurgency. A terrorist group attempting to disrupt the goings-on of other groups for which you define who is and who is not oppressive. Good luck in your endeavor.

Goblin Squad Member

Sounds like an easily corruptible organization with no accountability is looking for patsies which could used for the opposite of the proscribed effect without them knowing.

I'll admit, the sound of joining a secret society that protects the world tickles my fancy to no end, but I can't very well put my trust in someone just because they named themselves after a trustworthy deity.

So the question is: Why should you be trusted?

Is this a new trend, with these Accords and based on or inspired by Milani?

One will judge what is "positive game play" and this one "oppression".

We of the UNC find that the weight of coin and bulk goods are oppressive, and so as a measure of positive game play, we shall free you from the shackles of your greed and materialism.

But fear not for our souls. They have already been given to coin, blade and the pain of blood.

Hmmm... Have you met BrotherZael?

Lol, he was my first thought after reading this.

I actually send him a PM asking if he was the one setting this up.
I also realized he wouldn't tell me if he did.

Edit: Reading the post again, I get a feeling it might be a parody.

Goblin Squad Member

To avoid any confusion, this association is not currently related in any official (or unofficial as far as I know) capacity to the Roseblood Accord.

That clarified, best to the members of the Accord of Milani.


Thank you so much for the sign ups.

To those of you that got a mail about being a member of a guild, this is the time to sign up.

As you become members, please send in a mail stating which guild you jave become a member of.

Mails will go out to a few members, asking you to join specific guilds.

Once again, thank you for your interest in MA.

What are you going to do with members that are part of an oppressive force I wonder? What kinds of checks and balances do you have?

Seems like this organization is exactly the kind that will foment distrust among the population. The moreso for having already been publicized rather than grown organically, in secret.

Still, I wish you the best in your endeavors. Just another ingredient to the spice of life in the River Kingdoms.

Darcnes: what if the reason for going public is that there are no members, just one troll?

this is a neat little psychology experiment, a nice addition to the PFO lore - and perhaps more.

Goblin Squad Member

Yeah, that would be pretty interesting. ;)

I took this as a joke post by a new user that was created specifically for the purpose of parodying the Roseblood Accord.

Goblin Squad Member

Accept no imitations! Join the Roseblood Accord!

Either that, or a way of harvesting email addresses & account info from the gullible :D

Still, trying to sow suspicion on new members during the time when groups are most eager to recruit seems to run very much counter to GW's intent with the Land Rush.

Dear god, please Bludd, don't derail yet another player Accord meant to organize players, you've done enough damage to the other Accords.

We all understand your belief that any attempt to nail down what "positive gameplay" will fail because there will be those who wish to subvert these things, but that doesn't mean the attempts aren't valuable and worthwhile

Goblin Squad Member

Having been waylaid by the Roseblood Accord, imagine my shame in taking so long to finally stumble upon this. I cannot tell if this is meant to be real or a parody of my works so far...

Well whatever the case, freeing slaves, killing dictators... das cool... das cool...

Goblin Squad Member

Oh btw, your OP is flawed :I you can't have sleepers with unknown handlers and even less known overlords and say they ain't blind sheep.

s'bad form dontchyaknow.

Milani does not suffer false prophets.

Which real name?

The one written in the deepest recesses of your soul.

Probably so you could be summoned easier...

That is exactly what I asked her! She just stared at me until the hair on the back of my neck stood up, eergh.

I feel you have misunderstood how MA will work.

There will be no freeing slaves or killing in game dictators.

@river

if you really think that is true, you should think more about the inadvertent consequences of your intended actions.

This statement brought to you by Warstein Ale! Do you have problems with troublesome slaves? Do you need to protect a tyrant who rules with an iron fist? Warstein Ale provides the fire in your belly you'll need to enslave all those poor helpless peasants and still have the fortitude to protect your tyrant dictator while she kills puppies and shaves cats and stuff.

Goblin Squad Member

Mr. Warstein I like the way you work.

How does your company feel about trading with oppressed rebels in some backwater on the opposite side of a heavily armed police state?

Goblin Squad Member

Ahh, we will trade with any who got the coin. And if there's a fight to be had on the way, all the better!

Goblin Squad Member

Yes. We are going to get along juuuuust fine. I'm sure you know the affect your drink has on a crowded, discontent tavern. I'll be interested to hear first-hand accounts later...

Goblin Squad Member

I can see a combination of McCarthyism and witch trials happening here.

"Are you or have you ever been a member of The Milani Accord?"

NO!

"We will see if you're telling the truth. Tie a boulder to his neck and throw him in the river! If he floats then he is innocent and was not a member of MA."

Departmentalization refers to the process of grouping activities into departments. Division of labour creates specialists who need coordination. This coordination is facilitated by grouping specialists together in departments.

This also lowers the effectiveness of spies/traitors. Organized groups have nothing to fear but Golgotha.
