You guys still recruiting? I've thought about GE&T for months without ever doing anything here or really entering it, I've also thought about doing a PMC but last time I worked on it was when I ended up dropping all of the NS stuff I was working on and stepping away from it for a bit. I'm thinking of trying it again with my nation Korjo, and actually getting a storefront set up. I consider myself alright at thread coding, fortunately, but it would be nice to work with some people that know more about actually running this kind of thing.

Yes, we're still recruiting and around and probably always will be. We have a few members that can help you out with putting a storefront together. It should be stated for the record that a storefront or GE&T presence is not mandatory for joining. We also take members that RP PMCs in other forums, or have them as part of their national canon in someway.

And after a bit of thinking about it and working on it, the Korjian PMC is up. Might as well take a look and see if it works for the guild, although we handle security also and not just military operations.

Good start. I like that you're starting out small, from humble beginnings and focused on small contracts. That's very realistic.

Yeah. I figured I'd mix in traditional security stuff and expand into international things over time instead of starting out with an entire private army. Just need some actual jobs to start out with.

I will keep my ears and eyes out. Are you looking for just GE&T transactions or actual RPs to join on the NS/II forums?

Also, what do we think fellow Guild? Any objections to membership for Korjo/Clover?

Probably some of both. I'm looking at getting into one IFC RP and actually RPing the PMC activities, but extra business on the storefront would be good.

Works for me. Good luck with the RP. I don't think there's any objection to membership. What we need from you is some kind of acknowledgement of our charter,, and possibly some sort of intro that we put into this post. Beyond that, it's not a requirement, but putting the NS PMC Guild logo into your storefront per solidarity and licensing and bonding matters is much appreciated, if you would. Welcome aboard!

Sounds good. I'll update the thread tomorrow and add something about the Guild/charter.

So, this storefont/economic discussion thread doesn't see much action these days, but hopefully that will change. We do have many members involved in the Shrapnel Is Making Music RP.

Also, I will give a little teaser here...We are in the works of planning another RP that will involve using our now imfamous free lancer/Guild regulars (whoever survives the Shrapnel missions, anyway) to be the core of an anti-poaching team that will work closely with a host nation's government (TBD) and park rangers to curtail the hunting of endangered species. They will need more contractors for the team. If you're interested or have ideas, let us know. As our other RP starts to wrap up, a sign up for the new RP will appear in the Nationstates subforum.

Also still taking Guild membership applicants. Thanks.

Can you describe your PMC, or give us a link to an RP thread or storefront?

I appreciate the interest. I know there's no proper application, but we're looking for more indepth decriptions on companies from potential members to the Guild, and RP or storefront links, as well as the willingness to answer follow up questions.

Sorry, I kinda forgot about this thread. I'm a new nation, so I've only participated in one RP thread, and it's more of a diplomatic function. But yeah, I can post a link:
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=440844
Right now I'm figuring out where I want my nation to go in relation to RPs. As such, a storefront should be up once I've figured out the direction Dominara is going.

I guess my bad on not being clear, but by RP link, I meant one that was specifically a post that described your PMC and had operators from that PMC in action. Not just any RP thread link. So, yeah, check back in with us when you get that all straightened out and have a storefront together.

We are planning a great RP for the new year that will involve combating an indigenous Marxist rebellion supported by the ISVC on the Dachine archipelago. If interested, but not a member of the Guild, I suggest you think about applying because that is the way for entry into this RP for the anti-leftist forces.
Contact me if you have questions or post here.

There's no application. Usually, we either accept a link to a PMC storefront, or to a link to you RPing them. In this case, since you haven't RP'd them in a post, a good description of them might be in order.

The bulk of their group is Aztec-themed, SWAT-like mooks with a handful of ninja-like operatives. The main characters though, are a loose team of assassins who are very different from each other:

  • Kyoko "The Eliminator": Super soldier with enhanced physical capabilities. Uses a rifle, a sword, and a pair of guns.
  • Charles: The world's first (arguably) sentient robot spy.
  • Karma: Mysterious masked vigilante, pretty much Red Hood with Hidan's scythe as a bonus.
  • Shadow Judge: The leader. Probably won't do anything but give orders from his South American hideout.

Wow! Interesting group there. So, a few things:
1. Not giving you an automatic 'No', but, most of what we do is set in MT to PMT. That means any FT or Fantech isn't going to really fly in most of the RPs we do. Not to say that we will NEVER do those type of RPs, but...it's not in our usual repertoire. So, robot spy - no. Magic scythe - no. Super soldier that is superior to any other well trained soldier or operative - definite no in most any tech, unless you get a specific okay from those you RP with. The following other points are also in the framework of a MT/PMT PMC, so just keep that in mind.
2. What is the name of this group?
3. Is there really only 4 of them? In realistic terms, that doesn't really pop up on most radars when dealing with national or large level contracts and other business dealings with legitimate clients. Clients need a highly trained group, but they also want numbers. That type of group might get hired by an organized crime outfit or small company, but...again, that's touch and go at best with the RPs that we do.
4. Besides the previously mentioned missing info, what type of equipment do they utilize?
5. What type of missions do they take on and train for?

There's more, but that's a start. I'd be happy to brainstorm with you. TG me and we can discuss stuff and I can help you develop this group with some more info, and possibly make variants for different RP techs.

1. Karma's scythe ain't magical. It's just awesome. (3 blades and a line? Awesome!)

2. Order of Shadow

3. The rest are mooks. The 4 are the only main characters.

4. Kyoko and Karma have motorcycles. Charles has everything he needs in his body. (Or rather, it, since robots are genderless).

5. The mooks are often hired as border gurads for nations around South America. The characters take on equally tough contenders. Kyoko and Charles mostly care about the challenge, while Karma takes contracts from criminals who want to kill each other.

Well, I'm still going to ask for other PMCs to join here, or if already a member of the Guild, to reaffirm that you're still on board with us. We do have a pretty exciting RP coming up in the next month.

Tempted to offer parts of 90th Zeta Group. They're an ecclectic bunch of misfits though.

They're currently between contracts due to an ally violating what would've been the 8th rule of the charter by using a violation of the 6th rule of the charter in a friendly-fire incident, prompting an ad-hoc retaliation of equal counter-force.

Things escalated quickly, but otherwise they abide by the rules and have served with considerable distinction on the opening months of the corprate-wars.

Although rules of engagement do tend to get flung out the window when allies start flinging nuclear weapons at your corprate headquarters on valentine's day.

I appreciate your enthusiasm, as always, Hurtful, even when I don't understand what the hell you're talking about. We're going to limit to a battalion size (1,000 personnel, no matter how your company is organized) for each PMC for this particular RP. Also, as I know you tend to push the limits on this - firm PMT limit.
