Hear ye, hear ye! I call to order a disturbing meeting of the Mages' Guild. All persons of magical ability assemble if this concerns you!

I've got some disturbing news for you all, this week - There's a new guild trying to set up shop in the city. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. Hell, new guilds pop up all the time. This one, however, claims that the Mages' Guild is old hat. They're calling themselves the University for Magical Studies, and they've been advertising all over the place with papers and displays of power to the local nobles. I know how I would deal with this, but this is a matter for the council, not just for one person. How do you all suggest we handle this? Are we going to go on our own publicity campaign, or are we going to challenge them to some sort of wizarding duel?

Welcome to the Mages' Guild. Pick a name and join in! Conflicts are resolved with d20s when needed, or with playing it out. When the thread dies on /tg/, we keep it going on http://archive.4plebs.org/tg. For additional resources, please visit http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Mage%27s_guild

I say we challenge them to a rumble, a high stakes wizard poker game, or a game of chicken with our buildings. Winner stays, loser leaves.
>>
>>43625268
DEEEAAAATH!

I don't see the problem. Maybe the competition will get people here to do something actually productive.
>>
>>43625334
Adam. I want you to think about what you just said for a moment.
>>
>>43625268
We can do both? Like, hype the fuck out of a fight with news and shit and wreck them in the duel.
>>43625334
Oh, geez, I'm sorry. Teaching kids how to use magic so that they can get jobs that require that kind of magic is obviously not productive!

There's two ways to deal with a rival guild. Either we give them legitimacy by not treating them as vermin, or we wipe them out as an example. In the long run, wiping them out brings the smallest loss in life.

Dohoho! What a fine example of what the lowest members of our society can bring given a little opportunity! I do declare, it is a fine thing that the University was founded, would you all care to make an appearance at our charity banquet? It's in your best interest if the other patrons can see how badly you're all struggling, brings out the most donations!

Ahhh, such a wonderful sound. Problem solved everyone! Wake me up when the flower lickers start getting antsy again.
>>
>>43625616
Look, they are trying to say that they are stronger than us in the magical arts. We need a competition that shows we are stronger, not more skilled.
>>43625629
You said that a competition will get people here to do something ACTUALLY productive. Since I am one of the people here, ergo, you said I have not been doing anything productive.

Hey guys, it's me! ...You know... Nicholl? I've been working here for months...

Anyway, I've got the solution to this little quarrel! I've seen the advertisements these competitors have spread around town. And let me tell you, they are some piece of work! Top quality parchment, brightly coloured ink, fancy designs... Boy, those really are something.

"How do we compete with that?" I hear you say! Well, I think we should switch to semi-absorbent parchment! This new kind of parchment is more expensive, sure, but it doesn't absorb all shades of red an purple like regular parchment does. That way the colours won't mix as much and we can draw a sharper image!
Sharper image means a better advertisement! A better advertisement means we will stay on top of the food chain!

Now I have submitted this idea many times in the idea-box, but I'm afraid there might be someone among us who is conspiring against higher-resolution-advertising (HRS in short.) This is of course a grave problem, since this means someone is single handedly putting the mages guild down...

Also, we're out of paper clips.
>>
>>43625876
And that goodwill is rapidly fading.
>>
>>43625792
No that's guts. Not strength.
>>43625797
Fine fine.
>>43625876
Oh, so you're telling me you're not lost? Well, I really think you should. Get lost, that is. I have perfect 20/20 vision provided for me by one of the most rapidly growing Corporations. Fluctui Auxilium. You may have heard of us providing supportive backing for many Fransian nobles and having a large amount of malls, stores, and restaurants spread about Tiji and Fransia. I myself am in perfectly healthy condition.
>Tears off his shirt and reveals glistening muscles
Also, though I am not rich that is a personal choice of mine. And you can very well see if I give you a tour of the Department I manage you can see we are very clearly by no means in a financial pinch.
>>43625921
AGAIN!? What are we doing with those paper clips. Gah, I'll let my boss know that we need another shipment.

>>43626065
Jill, why are you booing at me?
>>
>>43625988
Oh, I see. One of the ooold crowd. Well, I'm pleased to inform you that the University only employs the absolute best in faculty, and accepts only the most promising students! You've got nothing to worry about! No tension at the office for you, my good man! No troubling career choices to make, no need to ponder the secret to our success, no cause to wonder the reason for our exceptional employee satisfaction rates! Rest easy Sir, you're completely free to continue this *ahem* life you've built for yourself, and off the sweat of your own back, no less!
>>43625937
Oh, no need to fret my good sir! We at the academy understand that not all of us can have the benefit of a well-managed trust fund growing up! Why, we would be happy to provide you with a much more lucrative means of employment! Why, just this morning we decided to employ more stable hands to maintain our fleet of luxury carriages!
>>43626065
Well, it's perfectly good and well to be happy with your body image no matter what the scales say1 Now, I certainly didn't hear a no regarding our pachinko sorcery department!

Aha, no, that'd probably be Merriam. You see, I SUPPLY the paper. And of course the entire rich and diverse spectrum of office utensils. Ink, candles, the aforementioned paper clips...
It's quite a crucial part of this guild, as you can probably imagine.

I talked to you about the importance of proper quill storage the other day.

>Cough

>>43626134

>>
>>43625988
Don't you worry, I've been conducting an extensive investigation about the paper clip consumption in this guild.
I can't tell you much yet, but I can assure you, once I get to the bottom of this, paper clip malpractice can be reduced up to 13 percent!

Hm, let me try and guess, you and all your little buddies at this "university" are second rate magic users that all got passed up on job opportunities by magic users that have graduated from the Mages' Guild and you all made your little group to get back at us. How correct am I? I'm not a seer so I doubt I hit the bulls-eye, but I'm pretty sure I hit pretty damn near close.
>>43626113
Sorry, I'm in business mode right now. And Pachinko is the Jisoan form of pin-ball.
>>43626244
That's wonderful Nicholl. Also, if it's not too much trouble can you have someone make an updated list of all the goods the Fluctui Auxilium needs to supply for this month?
>Looks like pic related but he has already torn his shirt off

>>43626272
Dohoho! Oh come now Gill, you can't just look down upon the lower classes like that, they need every opportunity for advancement!
>>43626283
Oh please m'boy, I'm sure you're quite talented in the magical practices of yesteryear! No shame to be had in knowing how to maintain an antique, there's plenty of market opportunities!

That sounds stupid.

>>43626372
Oh, no, you don't understand, I am a man of all times. Why, I make new spells everyday, kid. Why, I can show you one I made just yesterday if you wish. Also, I would very much like to see the person who is in charge of Oozemancy at your sorry excuse of a school.
>>43626374
Pachinko machines are mostly found in Jisoan gambling establishments.

I'm perfectly happy with my current job, thank you very much. Seeing as I'm here at the guild as a joint position, you're not even managing to insult them by saying that.

Yes. Wait... what?
>>43626283
Of course sir, that goes without saying! Punctuality makes the guild go round. (I've come up with that little wordplay myself)

Nicholl, have you seen what happened to my portal requisition forms? I swear I ordered more of them last week.

>>43626880
Well, you see, the thing about semi-absorbing parchment is that it absorbs most colours of ink (green, blue, ect.) entirely into it's fibre, but it only partially absorbs red and purple, which makes them reaaaaally pop! They don't melt away with the other colours, so you get a sharper image!
If we invest in this parchment, we could make advertisements like the kingdom hasn't seen in a lifetime! Heck, I might even be so bold to suggest pamphlets!... Ok maybe we'll wait with the pamphlets, let's not get carried away.
Stupid, stupid! You knew you shouldn't have started about the pamphlets! God I'm an idiot!!

The semi-absorbent parchment is not yet a fact in this guild. But if you ask me, they are crucial in this battle against our competitors! The help from Fluctui Auxilium would be much appreciated, of course!

>>43627895
Too late, blew it the fuck up.
>>43627824
Ohhhhhh. Well. Gross.
>>
>>43627914
It would turn his eyes into pinballs.
>Cough.

>>43627895
Uhh a bit late for that. Pierre nuked them with lightning.
>>
>>43627914
..oh my.
This is a bit out of hand.
>>
>>43627895
Tch, and show our bellies to the competitors? Plus the way they act they would have stomped on our offer with no remorse.
>>
>>43627914
>>43627945
>>43627949
Eh, they sounded like dicks anyway.
>>
>>43627753
>>43627782
Zombies? Yes ok, we could go with zombies. Or, OR... We could establish our brand throughout the world, investing in more publicity and raise awareness of the mages guilds excellent reputation.
We are the original mages guild, if we approach this the right way, people won't trust knock offs.
>>
>>43627973
Total dicks.
>>
>>43627984
So, I think our course of action is clear:
First, a SLOGAN! I'm sure everybody is willing to put their heads together and come up with the greatest slogan ever!
Second: we wait for the new semi-absorbent parchment to arrive and put together a team of designers to shape the advertisements and pamphlets!

Now, any ideas?
>>
>>43627973
I don't really think incinerating them was neede though.
>>
>>43628081
The Mages' Guild: You should see what we did to the other guys.
>>
>>43628081
sorry, why do we need a slogan?
>>
>>43627984
True. Or we could mix the two every once in a while, relying mostly on the PR department of course. We need to flex our muscles every once in a while or else we will get too many upstarts.
>>43628081
I think of something if need be.
>>
>>43628103
Oh come on, if they're real mages they'll have contingencies, and if anyone cares about them they'll get those contingencies running quick enough for it to be a speed bump at best.
>>
>>43628162
Still.
>>
>>43627387
I've gone back and forth through not only our time, but also realms and planes where time flows differently or not at all, so many times that I've entirely lost track of how long it's been.

As forwhat I've been up to? Well, it's quite a story. Let me summon a chair and begin a 10F dimensional narrative.
>>
>>43628121
For marketing of course! A proper brand needs a proper slogan, a great brand needs a great slogan!
>>43628133
How about we get the zombies to spread around the word of our brand? Maybe some outfits?

>>43628120
I like this. I think we have a winner. Anyone else in favour for this as our new slogan?
>>
>>43628320
I see.....
>She backs away slowly.
>>
>>43628234
We had to prove a point, didn't we?

Besides, it was Conspierre who blew them up.
>>
>>43628320
Oh gods no. No zombies. We're not a necromancy guild, we're the mages' guild. Can't advertise with just zombies.
>>
>>43628320
Eh, zombies wouldn't be good for PR. But yeah, that's a good enough slogan. We can have golems spread our brand.
>>
>>43628350
Well, we've been running strong for ages now. But are people really aware of what we do? And if they do, what do they picture when they think of the guild?
Old men rotting away at their books?
Hags brewing stinking potions?
No! We can't have that! That's not what attracts young folks! They should think excitement! Giant lazers! Maybe a demon or two!
And what ties this all together? A great slogan!
Now picture this: Little Johnny just helped his dad...
Are you listening? ...
Little Johnny just helped his dad with the crops, and is rewarded with a piece of copper. He goes into town, looking to spend it. And what does he see? A golem wearing our merch, selling bright posters! Poster made from glorious semi-absorbent parchment, with bright colours showing:
"THE MAGES' GUILD''
"You should see what we did to the other guys."

And you can bet that little Johnny will buy that poster! Who wouldn't? And he will hang it over his bed and every single night he will stare at it, dreaming of becoming a mage in the one and only mages' guild!

And that, that is how we deal with our competition!
>>
>>43628380
>>43628388
Yes but aren't golems a bit last year? They are efficient, I agree, but I hear elemental beings are all the rage.
>>
>>43628559
A troupe of all three. Problem solved. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go see a man about a horse.
>>
>>43628528
The necromancy department doesn't need any help recruiting. We get enough edgy teenagers as it is.
>>
>>43628528
Ah, what a beautiful image. Sounds like something I hold close to my heart.
>>43628559
Elemental beings, eh? Why, that sounds like a job that could be filled by oozes!

>>43628677
She's just a huge hypocritical bitch. Always off about the evils and unregulated magic and how we have to be kept away from society at large
>>
>>43629134
But... we're not unregulated.
>>
>yawns

>>
>>43629349

>>43629426

Or is it about something else?

It's about the thing I glared at you for shortly after that.

Oh, yeah, that..sorry.
Jeez, your glares are damn scary.
Where the hell did you learn to be so scary?

Seems so. Another guild popped up and we had an emergency meeting to figure out how to deal with them.

It turns out the guild has a giant death laser.
>>

⌠Well...⌡ ⌠Seeing as how it was a 100% chance of no survival...⌡ ⌠No?⌡

Ok, were there any civilizations or nomadic tribes on the planet?
>>

That counts as inhabited.
>>
>>43630432
⌠. . .How's Obsidia?⌡

You're changing the subject.

Which means you know you fucked up and are running damage control.

>>
>>43630520
you dun goofed.
>>
>>43630520
...

Well she told me she hadn't thought about it very much. Which means either she had no idea it was an option or she has come to a conclusion but refuses to tell me.

>>43630543
Are you even officially a member of this guild?
>>
>>43630553
no.

>>43630782
Right...

Let me make a few things very clear.

I do not like you.
You are banned from the Necromancy Department.
Every undead I have control of has standing orders to forcibly remove you if you try to enter it.
You're not an official member of the guild, and I doubt Lazarus would take it too hard if something terrible happened to you...

And I'm giving you about a day's head start before I tell my students that Every student I teach gets an automatic A+ if they can permanently stop you from ruining things for everyone, and me in specific.

Ah, so I suppose you're an obitu, then? I must apologize for my previous remark, the guild's necromancy department is known to be somewhat... unscrupulous.

Anyways! What business do you have with our guild, then?

Oh... that...

Well, a bit of fire, a little screaming, a golem or two spontaneously manifesting...

She may have overreacted to the prank slightly. But closer examination it was acid blood, so it wasn't really an overreaction because she didn't get any on her as a result of her actions.

Also, there may be a golem made of acid blood prowling the plumbing of the guild.
