Sorry for the long entry but once you get past me waffling some you grammar nazis may find it funny.
As most of you know I (and Scoobs and quite a few other people we know) have no life so play World of Warcraft. Now you non-believers can take the piss but if you ignore the people who think it's a way of life it can actually be quite a fun game with various shoot-em-up and puzzle solving strategy elements to it.
The game is that big that there are many different "realms" or servers to give them their real name. These realms are split into different categories. PVE = "Player versus environment" which means you do the quests and kill the bad guys but you don't fight other players. PVP = Player versus player" which means you kill everything but can also be killed. There is also RP which means "Role Playing" which means you have to talk as your character would, which can prove VERY fucking funny at times. There are also RPPVE and PRPVP realms as well. I used to play exclusively on a PVE realm but thought I'd see what a RP realm was like. I've played in it for a while and can often sit there giggling while people taking the game far too seriously.
Now I've bored you here's the actual point of the entry.
Last night I got a bit pissed off with the guy who controls the guild I was in so I left. He hasn't be around for two months and as second in charge is very difficult to do anything when even as second in charge you have very little commandl. So I joined another one. It's good to be in a guild as you often need help with some aspects.
Well today I asked a question and was told that it was all on the website. You can imagine the uproar when I suggested that a guild with a website wasn't really role playing but like a good little soldier I went and read that site.
I'd like to share parts of it with you now.
From the "About us" section
Who are the Ebon Blade Knights....
We are lost Death Knights who were send back into this world by Highlord Darion Morgrain.
With our free will restored we try to serve the alliance the best way we can.
Although there is no place in this world for our kind and most people still think of us as scourge we fight for it by doing good and show by showing them that we are no mindless killers.
We try to give lost Death Knights an home again, we fight as one when needed and never leave one behind, an Knight in need we will always help, ALWAYS!
We only recruit Death Knights as is written in the lore.
We are an Heavy Rp guild but we also help leveling and later maybe we will start raiding.
We have an tabard and 2 guild tabs available.
We are proud to announce that the Ebon Blade Knights is also an part of the guild senate, and therefor the Death Knights have an voice again within the alliance.The trust is still an thin line on both sides but we gain more respect in Azaroth everyday as an group of loyal knights.
From the "The Rules" section.

From the "Leadership an Officers" section
lady Chellan.
Chellan is Born on Dreanor and as an Dreanei she believed in the true ligh,she became an great paladin with great powers.
When the orcs attacked her kind she fought for her homeland she fought as long as she could be she had to flee, they were with to many, thats how she got to Azaroth.
Soon she met new people and saw the great king Varian.
She decided to join the army of King Varian Wrynn and soon became an leader in it..
One day her group was send out over seas for an resque mission, but when she came there no one servived.
She and her men tried to get back to the ships to report their findings when they got surounded and atacked by ghouls and undead, the king thought everyone died and retreated the ships, so she and her men got trapped, there whas no escape possible.
The Ghouls and undead killed her men and herself and brought her body to Archerus were The Lich imidiatly decided to make her an Death Knight to fight for his aid.
Now with her free will restored she is determined to revange what the Lich has done to her and many others, but she also want peace and a place back into this world.
Her believe in the light has faded although she does think the light has a meaning for all this.
She believe in justice and hope, and that makes her strong and determined to resque all death knights and give them an home again under Highlord Darion's banner they will servive and will try to get back peace and revange!
I really don't think I'll be in this guild for long... in fact I think a certain blogger/player may sign in just to tell the glorious leader how evil I am and send her a link to this page. Oh well. At least I'll have had a giggle!
