Bering and Wells

Okay i have no idea how to make one of these but I guess we all have to learn sometime. Come on in, join the crazy. This is a pre game recruiting. If you belong to the Warehouse13 fandom or the S.S. Bering & Wells or both or are just a Jaime Murray fan, then come on and join our Guild.

We shall be known as

MEET AT GUNPOINT

For those who have come here from tumblr (probably all of you) I just want to say

Welcome! Welcome! Come in and make yourselves comfortable. The game still isn't up but we can use this place to get to know each other and talk about gaming things. Raise you hand if you are not a gamer. *raises both hands* Thats okay, we will learn (hopefully) or die trying.

Feel free to start discussions or some such.

I saw this and thought it would be a good as place as any to start so here answer these
(if you want to)

Personal Background if you are so inclined
Favorite game
what do you play now
What are your experiences in MMOs or shooters
What dragged you to this game
What you want to see implemented or fleshed out
Potential fears or downfalls of develpment for this game
I feel like I am missing something....So feel free to add more!

************************************************** ***********
To those who have played MMO s before can you recommend one that I can try out? I want to have experience when the game starts. Thank you in advance.

I'd like to join
Bering & Wells forever

I have recently, like a month ago, jumped on board the S.S Bering & Wells and I can't get enough. I need to fangirl with others like myself lol So count me onboard for when this mmo kicks off ;)

As am I. I recently joined this ship too and Tumblr informed me of the forum. I cannot wait for this guild!! We need to be awesome!!!! Bering and Wells 5ever

Where would the collective fandoms of the worlds be without tumblr uniting us....

Bering & Wells forever! Let's game!

I'm in.
I got here through Tumblr.

Bering and Wells rocks my fangirl world.

I'm game. I'm looking forward to playing.

I usually try to stay away from people in games, but I found this on tumblr and it seems like it might be fun? so I'm in. If you'll have me that is

I'm in... What am I in?

Not entirely sure just what I'm singing myself up for, but hey, I'll join!

Its okay, basically this is just another place to fangirl except there will be guns

I just saw the post on tumblr and here I am, reporting for duty.

I'm definitely on board for a Bering & Wells guild!

I smell apples.

Count me in on the action.

Reporting for duty for the SS Bering & Wells. ;)

I am always down to solve puzzles and save the day, but in the end a guild is only as strong as its members. We have to kick *** and take names in order to be one of the best in the game. Also, is "Bering and Wells" going to be the official name of the guild?

Lt Commander Assley Williams checking in~

Hopefully there's no probs with the naming policy for the guild name? (since the naming rules are SUPER strict and say no pop culture references for usernames, so maybe for guild names too)
but if not, pertlattimers signing in for duty haha. presumably will be under a different handle ingame, though, for the same reason...

And when the fan gets to the forum,
To the topic starter the fan will say;
One more shipper reporting, sir.
I've served my time on Tumblr.

And I don't think we have to worry about a future guild name. Even if they say no to "Bearing and Wells" there are many more we can go with. "The scent of Apples" for one. "Meetings at Gunpoint". There are quite a few =P

Bless this fandom. :')
My gaming experience is around the Pokemon on Gameboy level, but I shall try nevertheless!

Hello all. I'm so glad that there's a Bering and Wells group. This is going to be awesome. I'm somewhat of a gamer, but usually I stick to my ps3 so this should be fun. I love this fandom so I'm looking forward to being a part of this.

Count me in.

Ready, willing, and (hopefully) able when the game gets released.

Unless the game costs a ridiculus amount of money, I'm in and really exited!

Reporting for duty!
Don't know anything about gaming, but I'm a fast learner. Is there a good... teacher somewhere here?

A shooter MMO like this is a new thing to me, but I've played quite a few shooters and MMOs so I'll help in any way I can :p

I like Bering and Wells!!!!!
Favorite game would be any Zelda or Resident Evil series
now I have about 60 or 80 games waiting for me to be played lol just don't have time to do it D:
mmm MMOS I guess I'm good
I heard about this game and got interested but then I didn't like to many things about it. Jaime Murray I buy it
There are so many things about this game that I don't know if they are gonna work like that real time in action cos not everybody
will be hook in the system all day long playing D: what if we lose something important a detail or something.But then again it
could be like world of warcraft.
But count me in!!!!

Sounds good to me!
Will have to learn as I go - sounds terrible, but I havent played a shooter MMO before, so this will be something new

I want in. Please

Only MMOs I've ever played have been fantasy based, but I play console shooters, too. So I could give pointers if they're needed, too.

Ursula here, tumblr/Ao3/LJ's lovesthesoundof. Concisely, I'm a RPG nut; when it comes to gaming I'm in it for the story and I'll roleplay just about anywhere. I cut my gaming teeth on Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Pokemon, and I currently play a couple of other MMOs (details negotiable).

Defiance? I'm here for the Castithans. Hopefully I'll learn to shoot straight along the way.

Multiple servers could be a problem. Perhaps we'll be looking at a set of allied guilds across several servers, or - if the servers aren't region-specific - selecting a server to play on? Closer to the time (i.e. once we have more details) it may be an idea to set up an off-site forum to help coordinate our efforts and allow members to communicate.

As for the guild name, I agree that "Bering and Wells" is much too fandom-specific. The game is supposed to interact with the show, so allowing the fact that Warehouse has brought us together to influence the name of the community seems unwise. It breaks immersion both for members and for anyone who sees the name. A more subtle reference like Meet at Gunpoint would allow us to stay true to our origins while fitting in with the feel of the game and show. This is, after all, a shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world - and if, as seems likely, we have humans and Votans fighting alongside one another, some of them may have quite literally met at gunpoint during the Pale Wars...

...and there we have a neat hook for an in-universe origin story. The founding members may have come from two opposing companies who became allies to face a common threat. Such stories become tropes because they're good, fangirls and gentlemen; I say we write our own.

I'm very excited for this and would love to be a part of the guild! Woop! Operation Keep Jaime's Character Alive.

I agree, I like the name Meet at Gunpoint. Do you think it would be easier to make a tumblr for the guild? It seem everyone here came from tumblr so it might b easier to to organize and communicate that way.

Yes, I absolutely agree about Meet at Gunpoint. Also good lord, I would love to help come up with back-stories and such for the guild. So I volunteer for that, if you're accepting them!

I'm not sure how a guild tumblr would work, to be honest, but it sounds like a good avenue to explore.

Totally in. I'm an RPG veteran, mostly. I don't play a lot of MMOs (Guild Wars 2 is probably the only one I've spent time in), but I have some experience with shooters. Should be great. :D

I also agree that a less obvious name will probably work better and the idea of back stories sounds awesome!

I know people have made guild blogs before (for example SWTORmblr. Not sure exactly how it's run, if not a blog we could have like a guild-specific tag on Tumblr perhaps?

Also here from Tumblr (obviously...just like everyone) - joannekellying and h-g-wells. I'm sure there's about a 0% chance my computer will be able to run the game, but, no shame, I am not above totally upgrading my computer to play. Everyone's planning to do it on the computer, right? I'd go PS3 but an MMO isn't any fun without some sense of community, which is mostly why I haven't done a lot of MMOs.

Yes, Meet at Gunpoint is a good way for us to blend in.
