Forces of Evil

Guiding Mission

We are a roleplaying group whose members play villains in order to provide fun experiences for the community.

What We Do

We run events that are designed to involve villains that must be resisted, and we join events at the request of the organizers to create a context for conflict and opportunities for people to take action.

What We Don't Do

We're not about winning or revenge. We don't harass people. We don't engage with people who don't want to engage with us. We don't complain about dying or losing. We don't let people grief or otherwise ruin the experience of playing our characters within the DR policy.

FAQ

1. Can I join?
Yes. Contact a member or ask on the RP channel of the official DR server or on the Adventure Nexus. FOE is not for everyone. If you do not have the temperment to play a villain in such a way that everyone has fun, you'll be excluded from the organization. If you're not playing a villain, you can still join our server and chat with us if you like.

2. Why aren't you all PvP open?
Many of us are relatively small, and are still training. We're not here for gank wars, and many of us have alts and busy personal lives. We want to engage with you in ways you find fun including consensual PvP, but some of us prefer not to engage in perpetual PvP conflict. We always abide by DR policy regarding PvP, and engage with everyone in good faith.

3. Can I spy on your organization?
Yes, from outside the group, certainly. If you wanted to join and spy, we'd want to know that this was your intention OOCly, and we'd probably want to have a sense of your general story arc. We don't really want someone who is going to perpetually work against the group or expose all our plans and expect us never to catch on. Surprises and mystery are fun, and we want to preserve that.

4. Do I have to salute or kneel or bow to anyone if I join?
No. The actual organization is OOC. How you manage power structures in game is totally up to you, but the general idea is that members of FOE lead a collective of like minded people to undertake certain actions together for their own reasons. If you want to play a subordinate to another character, that's most welcome, but completely unnecessary.

5. What are the benefits to joining?
Mainly having a good group to RP with and having fun. We have experience PvPing and can help you learn, give advice on gear, training, magic and abilities. We pay our members for participating in events when others "hire" us for events.

6. I'm tired of everyone picking on my character because they're bad. Can I join you and get revenge on Team Good?
No. We're not a gang that protects its own. We focused on fun RP, and that will often mean our characters get thwarted for doing shady things. We fight together as a team sometimes, but if you have an "us vs them" mentality, and are looking for people to win in PvP against your enemies, this is not the group for you.

7. I want to hire you for an event, but I'm a hardcore roleplayer and none of my characters are going to pay any of your characters. How do I pay?
Give the cost of the services to an alt or third party we provide, and our characters will ICly threaten or otherwise extort that character into giving up the money. The in character theft will then be dispersed to the characters participating in the event and all obligations will be fulfilled.

Event Services

Anyone may request to hire FOE to enhance the RP experience for them and their friends. All payments must be made before the event, and will be refunded if the FOE member fails to join the event. If no member is available or willing to take on the request, we will let you know. Reach out to Dioe or any member to request services.

Haunt

A member in stealth will say and whisper ominous things in the shadows, including threats, temptations, criticism, insults, witty remarks or voice illegal or sacrilegious ideas, according to what works best for your event, and our character's RP. Our members will not attack anyone, and will remain at the event, actively roleplaying for at least 30 minutes.
Cost: 500 platinum Kronars per FOE character at event.

Crime

A member or members of our team will kidnap (drag away) someone at your event, or steal from them and provide chase. That member of our team will consider themself open, and if killed, many monologue, but will slink back into the shadows to await another opportunity for evil. The member may fight back if attacked, but will (OOCly) attempt to shape the outcome in favor of the hiring party and their allies.
Cost: 1000 platinum Kronars per FOE character at event.

Raid

Members will rampage in full PvP mode through your event, using any pretext agreed upon. Members will have full expectations of fighting to the death, and will leave the event after they have been killed, or when the event is called off. Members will only engage pre-determined targets, characters who have their profiles set to "OPEN," or people who attack them or otherwise give consent according to DR's PvP policy, but will actively try to avoid engaging with bystanders.
Cost: 1000 platinum Kronars per FOE character at event.
