Greetings, fellow Earthen Ring roleplayers.
As an active RP guild on this server, it's only fair that we inform Earthen Ring that the Templars of the Rose will partake in the incoming guild name change service. Come the new service, we will be retiring our Rose title in place of something far more accurate to the guild's continued mission and cause: the Templars of the Bros.
To reflect this name change, our guild motto, language, mission, weekly events and even names will change to better suit our image. You see, it's come to our attention that Templars is a close-knit, dysfunctional family, and there's no better way to reflect it than the all-inclusive word of bro. And of course everyone knows - there are no girls who play World of Warcraft. Silly.
So from this day forth, do not refer to our guild as the Templars. Refer to us only as the Bros, never Templars - no, that age-old heroic term does little to describe the new name and mission we take on with Templars of the Bros. But really - if there's difficulty in the transition, just go with Broplars. We'll forgive the first trespass, the second mistake will result in a brodown.
For those interested in joining the Bros in the future, please be mindful of our new guild rules, effective 04/01/2011:
1. All guild members must partake in both a gender as well as race change. Target gender is male, target race is Night Elf Brohawk.*
* - we're handy with computers.
2. Gender and race change must occur both in-character as well as out-of-character. No exceptions, except one. You know who you are. Yes, you.
3. All guild members must undergo a character name change to adhere to our new naming code. Female names are acceptable as long as "bro" is included. Please use the following list as a guide: Hulk Brogan, Marco Brolo, Brodo Baggins, Broggie Bear, Truman Cabrote, C-Threepie-Bro, Marilin Monbro, Bropera Winfrey, Teddy Brosovelt, Hans Brolo, Rocky Balbroa, Brocahantas, Broman the Brobarian, Frosty the Broman, GI Bro, Brodamort. To name a few.
