So, I got a mail asking if we'd be interested in RP. I'll highlight key points. Original mail reads as:

Hello there Elsy,

As I casually browsed the (TESO RP) forums I saw that there was an advertisement for Blue Skooma. One click led to another and another, and after spending time browsing your website, I was wondering if perhaps we could set up some RP. Unfortunate thing #1 is that all of my guild slots are filled at the moment in-game. Unfortunate thing #2 is that I can usually only get in game at nights (EST) or on weekends. However, I believe that these unfortunate things should not stop RP!

I currently run a guild of criminals, and while we are still most definitely active, many of our members cannot log in due to work/sickness/real life. I want to keep the RP going for myself and for any others who still want to get involved. I don't have anything specific in mind, but I always love weaving the threads of stories and potential arcs. That being said, I did come across your post on your website about guards and others being stretched to the limit by too many fights and/or criminal activity. I understand completely if you don't want another thief on your hands causing problems. Being good thieves and well-rounded scum, we could do many creative things, such as hunt treasure in ruins, smuggle and sell rare items, send "messages" where lawful hands are tied, or retrieve valuables someone else has stolen.

To make a long message short, this is me asking about rp and offering to work something up, be an IC antagonist (or partner if there are shady dealings happening), or see if there's anything I can bring to the table while dragging a few of my friends along. I guarantee the OOC respect and good will of myself and any fellow guildies or friends I could bring. Thanks for reading this long message! Hope to hear from you soon.

Best,
GreyDragon

So basically, this guy runs a guild of thieves, but has read our PSA and is aware of our guard being stretched thin, and understands if we're wary or would like to turn him down. I did, however, tell him it may very well be plausible if-

we can minimize the amount of criminal activity that happens in the town we RP in so that our clanguard isn't so overworked, then it shouldn't be an issue. For instance, as you mentioned, treasure hunting and such, it's possible for you all to coordinate with our shadier toons and attempt to do something such as, pull off a heist in another town/zone, or do shady jobs. Then come back to our RP hub, or wherever, and do something like have a casual drink at the tavern.

That way the guards aren't working so hard and there's still opportunity for lawbreakers to RP with everyone else in and around the town without fear of getting caught by any lawfuls.


I then proceeded to tell him I'd talk to my officers. What do you guys think? If we can work out a side-story with them were they are looking for people to help them pull of some form of heist or go treasure hunting, I think it's totally fine. He seems to be 100% aware of how we feel after reading our PSA and is going to talk with his guildies to make sure they don't cause unneeded trouble in Vulkwasten.

I think that would be great, we need some more going on. I've been so bored sitting in the tavern on the nights when there aren't events.

Might be a nice jolt to get the Criminal's Faction started, too.

Shall I tell him we're interested and begin talking storylines with him?

Hehe, thanks, but I'm just gonna respond since he already opened lines of communication with me, I feel awkward about telling him already "Let me talk with my officers," and then being, "Eh, actually go talk to these people and not me."
