The White Lotus Shipping Company

[Phoenix234]

A Sub-branch of the Masonry guild and the Lotus Society

The Lotus shipping company ships all types of items across water in their state of art boats, using the ocean to take vast amounts of products to those who need them for a price

We have many positions available:

Captain: Each boat has a leader, normally a Higher up mason or Lotus member, he gives the orders and makes sure everyone is following orders
Sailors: Control the boats directions and speed, usually 2 or 3 per boat depending on the size. Sailors are usually engineers too for repairs
Traders: traders act as passengers on ships, they transport goods via the boats, unloading and restocking supplies, double as woodcutters when repairs are needed
Guards: Usually archers, who protect boats from pirate attack

Roleplay reason for such a subbranch?
Information and Gold , the masons rely on good intelligence to perform there secret activities, and people talk while they are travelling on our boats. also they will bring a good profit too.

Orders and chain of command

Usual chain of command
Me> Mason high ups >Lotus Operatives> Captains > Guards> Traders

But while on a Captains boat all players follow his orders excluding myself since i have alternative targets usually.

We have a unique sailing system that lets a captain command his boat from any part of the ship letting him move around to get a better view of the situation and still get complete control.

Lotus Dropoffs and "Tactics"we have a list of standard procedures an operative can request while on board the ship our members know of the codewords for these requests

Yes, profits go to funding the masons guilds extra ciricular activities
we also allow passengers to join the trip or traders to join if they pay a fee of gold or information such as a players location

The brotherhood can get a discount on trips if you guys promise not to attack my workers again!

Do i get my own boat?

Yes your a captain after all, think of a good female name for your boat.

Id like to captain a boat. name it the lovely lotus 


if not then id be fine as a gaurd

 

[deadeye238]

    Hey Charles, I have 9-10 million to spend, I will get the boat and pay you, if you will be a good gaurd. 

 

[Tirok]

Hm this makes me think I need to create a name for House Tidwells soon-to-be boat   Howabout 'The Tidia' xD

 

[zacxx]

well anyway i want to see what  pheonix has to say to my captain offer. also, there should be a map with mainly ships and water but a few island points. that would be awsome.

 

[naoma]

I like WolfWind its not very female but lol

 

[Phoenix234]

Naoma is leading the first boat.
Zac are you a mason? i cant remember

Do we have good sailors yet? I've practiced quite alot steering a ship (thanks Jazora ), and I can say it's a damn commendable job.

 

[Phoenix234]

im pretty good with sailing although didnt like the biggest boat since you cant really see where your going hhaa

 

[Demonhun]

I can captain all boats, ive already had a couple of hours practice on all of the ship designs. I also have a skilled mastman who I can ask to join me and we work good together

Seeing that this is for mason funding, I guess we can reach an agreement when you do not have enough captains online you give me access to a crew and I take a share of the profits (im brotherhood ). This way you will have a boat in safe hands that wont sink on some shore, and Ill have a crew that can fend of pirate attacks

 

[Phoenix234]

you will have to discuss that with pilgrim, since the masons and brotherhood usually just ignore each others activities, i dont think we have ever teamed up on anything before :O

 

[Splintert]

Skahr's Bow Regiment seems to be a fine contender for escorting you during your shipping. Contact me for more information.

Actually we have, remember that day you sent a nord to do my job and i ended up being sliced by a huge axe?

 

[zacxx]

i am not a mason, as my bow skills are not that of the gods  but anyway id love to be a captain. but if not ill go with gaurd

 

[deadeye238]

    Boats are hard to work.     

 

[zacxx]

Perhaps we could merge into a Suspicious Masonic Brotherhood or something if my reforms don't go too well.
