Career path for veterans

[qom_riyadh]

I've got an idea: maybe the Veterans could organize weekly wheelchair races some kind of schools - training other arms(wo)men in an individual way focused on some specific skill - maybe Archers Range, Fencing Academy or alike...

I think that in means of RPing it would be an honour to be chosen by some legendary person of the army which will train me and my skills...

[Grief Dryfh Gry]

I've hit the promotion barrier a long time ago, and ever since that time I've been trying to create my only little world in the baronship household. Even so that I've made most structure designs that we hold to this day. Truth admit that grief has never really been a very active event organising guardsman. I've always strived to make grief as much a guardsman as a person. Ever since he started managing the tavern this has been really easy, and that meaning managing the citizen element for quite some time subsequently as well. Grief is a guy you can come to for militia business, but for citizen affairs as well. As roleplayers I think we strive to make our character as versatile as we can.

I'd encourage any of the old foo's around here to start looking beyond the horizon of just roleplaying your character as a guardsman.

Like Jig Fu!
Speak to Grief.

[Raiden Morana]

Upon reaching the heights of the Covian ranks, one must then begin their journey through the Art of Jig Fu! Mastering the various stances, of which their origin lie in dark and sinister parts of Britannia, and beyond! 

rofl!

Now that's something for Raiden to aspire to in his old age.

That's the entire point of the topic. Getting old coots and young dogs alike starting to think beyond the guardsman duties if you start to feel the monotomy set in. In short, develop a more realistic and multidimensional character

You think I'm joking? Its going to happen!

Well that's a great idea - IMO allowing arms(wo)men to not wear uniforms off-duty would greatly help seeing military as almost normal people

[Gimbly]

I'm inclined to agree here; no-one is stopping them setting up a side business or enforcing the church if they want to. It's always a bit of a difficult task to make the guild interesting for those very old players, so to some degree the player has to make it interesting for him or herself. Having said all this, I can't see Tiberius selling much! Perhaps his own brand of ale.. *Ponders*

Agreed to Tib. even the path isn't clearly defined it doesn't mean you cant walk on it. It only depends on how much effort you are willing to put into your alter ego ,or not. I guess the problem arn't the missing opportunities but the laziness we are all struggling with. The one more the others less.  Gimbly maybe more than others *coughs*. Even if he didn't reach the end of the regular guardsmen career ladder (like Kal, Tib etc). But after years i really cant arse myself patrolling or doin sentrys or other regular guardman stuff only to get up two more ranks and face the same problem or situation i'm facing right now.  And tbh there' s no really reason to do so. We dont have wages from which higher ranks would benefit , no goodies we would get from those higher ranks above Regular. So other things like greater events (wars) and Grens stuff keep me logging in atm.

[Mela Arkay]

I could set up a hair dressers on Mela. Then again people would be coming out with bald patches and bright green hair.

[Khaelieth]

Set up a hairdressers with Grief!

[Conan Darkmoon]

Bright Green hair, huh?  Sign Conan up.. 

[Kal/Mathew]

Well I think it is a good Idea and beings that Kal uses potions maybe he can set up a potion shop, and a Fencing School as he is also an elder fencer. I will give some thought on how I can go about this and see if I can set it up.

[Raiden Morana]

Nice one Kal!

I think that if and when Amon makes burgher that he and Raiden will go into business opening a shop of sorts selling supplies to guardsmen and offering work to crafters etc. to keep it stocked.

The shop i think will be the ground floor of my cottage so all my junk will have to go upstairs. There goes the double bed but heh! I wonder if they'll want it for the museum?!

Raiden of course will be a silent partner he's a lot of years service in him before he turns into a shopkeeper although i think he may broaden his horizons by learning the art of jig fu' in the meantime.

The fencing school idea sounds very cool.

Maybe some veteran might consider opening self-defence classes for civilians
