Do you want to serve in the military?
Do you want to secure the financial security of Horde and by extension you?
Do you want to innovate and receive a semi-decent healthcare plan whilst doing it?
Then Uncle Bedlam wants YOU!
The Bilgewater Battalion have opened recruitment for a new hit squad unit which shall focus on, as well as keeping the peace, going on deployment to lands across Azeroth and beyond as a fist of the Bilgewater Cartel and testing new innovations in engineering and science on the battlefield. If you are a Goblin, an Orc or a Forsaken who agrees that this opportunity is too good to pass up, head on down to Bilgewater Harbour and enlist with Captain Betti Boomcrank TODAY!
Disclaimer: The Bilgewater Battalion holds no responsibility for any equipment or armaments which may be broken during your time with us, if you break Battalion issued items which are on your person they must be paid for in full.
Heya folks,
<The Bilgewater Battalion> is a guild which we hope shall add something to the Horde military and Goblin RP community due to being a rather relaxed military guild which focuses on providing enjoyable and lore accurate RP for anyone wanting to have their character join the Bilgewater Battalion IC. Our premise is that we're a hit squad style unit within the Battalion which not only aids in keeping the peace in Horde lands, but is also deployed deep in enemy territory, testing out new technological and scientific innovations on the enemies of the Bilgewater Cartel. Here's a bit of a Q&A which goes deeper into what we do:
What kind of RP do you do?
Events wise, as a military unit we of course do training but not in the common style of practising formations and running laps around a field. Instead we tend to try out more practical skills such as learning how to commandeer a flying machine and parachute from it into enemy territory, skills which will be relevant to fighting different enemies and gaining the upper hand in the lands we travel to. The themes of our events that aren't training can range anywhere from comedy to horror, one day we could be tracking down a criminal in a city, the next we could be on the front fighting the enemies of the Bilgewater Cartel.
Although we do both RP/PVP and RP/PVE, we also like to RP casually outside of events and are open to people walking up to us wherever we are.
Where are you based?
Our main base is at the barracks in Bilgewater Harbour, but a lot of the time we can be found around the Harbour (mainly at the inn or the restaurant) when we're not on deployment as well as Azshara and Orgrimmar.
Who do you accept?
We accept Goblins, Orcs and Forsaken into our ranks, it's quite obvious that Goblins can be found in the Bilgewater Battalion but there are also instances where Orcs and Forsaken are seen to have joined and progressed through the ranks. We unfortunately do not accept any other races or death knights as none of them have been seen to have joined the Battalion at any point in game.
How do the ranks work?
Our rank system is quite simple right now as we're a small, developing guild which works as follows.
- MIA
- Recruit
- Soldier
- Lieutenant
- Captain
This system shall be expanded upon as we grow with more diverse ranks as well as a progression system, but the most interesting rank right now is the MIA rank!
MIA is the rank for anyone who has not come to RP with us for two weeks without saying why. They will be considered missing in action IC as that's realistically when we may start to wonder where someone has gone, and it gives us the opportunity to have a bit of an event line to find someone who's MIA once they return.
Where do I sign up?
If any of this has interested you feel free to whisper or send some in game mail to me, Bettiboom/Mondoe, or chat with any of our members about passing on a message!
