<Nomsanto> (hardcore baking-only guild)

[Portasaurus]

<Nomsanto Industries>

Double-down on wasting your time with p99 by devoting yourself to an [almost] entirely useless tradeskill! After all, a simulated environment without delicious simulated meals, snacks and beverages isn't a simulation worth simulating. Somebody said that once... or at least they simulated themselves saying it.

No xp-ing. No leveling. No raiding. No clothing covered in fungus. None of that shit. Well, actually we will need the mushrooms. So: No clothing.

Just farming, dumpster diving, baking, brewing, fishing trips, and then every once in a while we can have a big bake sale, BBQ, fish fry, wine tasting, beer-fest, etc...

Sure, you could go kill dragons, loot high level items, camp seafuries, make a ton of plat, yawn... OR you could actually save those rat ears and make some delicious sandwiches and pies, culminating in the exciting climax of roaming around Norrath and passing them out to the [mostly] unappreciative masses!

Plus, baking becomes ~0.5% more relevant in Velious! (CHEESE IS COMING?!)

Current membership: 2 or 3 depending on if that one guy is actually the same guy as the other guy who joined.

Also considering the guild name <Cooking Mamas> but we'd have to be all-female, of course.

Need to know guild stance on tier-1 and tier-2 foraging.

What is the brownie rotation?

What is the Spaghetti policy?

[Portasaurus]

What is the Spaghetti policy?

Oh! The spaghetti policy?

The spaghetti policy is: THERE MUST BE SPAGHETTI AT ALL TIMES. Especially spaghetti with cheese.

This will, of course, require noodles, which may or may not be coming in Velious.

Sirken, will there be NOODLES?

We will require noodles for this to be a worthwhile expansion.

Thank you

[Portasaurus]

Need to know guild stance on tier-1 and tier-2 foraging.

T1 foraging and fishing would be anything outside of Kunark.

T2 would be Kunark only and all 40+ level zones/dungeons.

Initially, I'm looking for someone to help me do some foraging and fishing over in Kunark because I really don't spend much time over there. I seem to die in Kunark. A lot. For example: I just tried to go last night and fell off a cliff in Burning Woods into what appeared to be a hornet's nest.


What is the brownie rotation?

Brownie parts can be either very dangerous or very boring to farm depending on your strategy, but trust me, I have several adaptable plans!

If anyone is actually interested in this concept, please let me know. I'm still waiting for the petition gods to give me the guild name.

[Jesseca]

Best idea ever! You may start a trend here...tailoring, fletching etc. guilds. Anyone?

[khanable]

I really want to see this guild made

[Portasaurus]

Thanks, Cukes! =)

Still waiting on the guild name to go through, but come and check us out! We're the Greengrocer building on Shady Lane in EC

[Portasaurus]

<Nomsanto Industries> has been established! The name had to be slightly altered to conform with guild name rules (You can't straight up take the name of a company).

So, now I'm currently trying to figure out how to guild my alt. I think I need more than one person in the guild, then make that person an officer, then have them guild my alt.

So, I get that folks like the concept but is anyone actually willing to dedicate their toon to this? :)

Glory awaits! Or at least sandwiches.

[Anichek]

If I eat Dark Elf Sandwiches:

a) Will it make me a cannibal?

b) Can you shave the meat really thin, like a deli?

[Portasaurus]

If I eat Dark Elf Sandwiches:

Yes

b) Can you shave the meat really thin, like a deli?

I am optimistic that we can get fancy with our filleting knives in Velious.

[Wulvgeng]

COOKIES AND MILK FOR EVERYONE!

[Portasaurus]

We are currently recruiting for <Nomsanto Industries>!

If baking, foraging, and fishing really get you excited, then this is the guild for you!

If pulling a Gunthak Mackerel out of the Ocean of Tears is more satisfying than looting another gargoyle eye, then this is the guild for you!

If walking up to someone, grinning evilly, and then eating a meal composed of their particular race sounds like your idea of a fun Friday night, then this is the guild for you!

pst to Portasaurus in-game for more information!

Just a quick update on <Nomsanto Industries>

Last week, we opened up the Greengrocer storefront in EC Tunnel near that Shady Swashbuckler guy. So far, business has been light, somewhat steady, but very-much-so a good time! Even took a trip to Greater Faydark last night and set up the veggie cart next to the bank for a while. (Thank you for the ride, Chibs!)

All in all it has been a great first week! Meeting lots of nice new people, but most importantly getting folks to eat something other than those bland, boring Iron Rations (yuck)!

The menu is almost complete and will be posted in the EC Tunnel forum when it is ready. I'm currently looking for someone with graphic design skills to help me turn this horribly ugly .rtf file into something that won't cause the thread to be moved to RnF before it paginates. Message me on here or in game (Greengrocer or Portasaurus) if you would be interested in helping!

Future plans include:
-Scratch-off tickets & weekly Greengrocer lottery! (more info soon)
-Hunting, fishing and foraging expeditions!
-Soup-kitchen day for p99's impoverished!
-Meat Gambling!

Stop by and visit Greengrocer today to browse our stocks, or to get more info about joining our forces!

Signed,
-your Greengrocer

[capco]

On behalf of Supremacy, we are wishing you the best with your new endeavors :D

More importantly, I need to know if you offer catering. I am thinking that would be a nice touch for our guild meetings. If so, will you have limits on your capacity?

[doraf]

Bump for the best guild on the server!

[Portasaurus]

Thank you for the good favor!

We would love to start catering events! This is something that we have not explored yet, but it is on the long-term agenda.

Please let me know if there is anything in particular you are looking for. Depending on the items, we may need extra time to gather the ingredients and prepare the meals.

pst in game or PM on here to discuss further!

Excellent.

I'll be in touch after you finalize your menu :)

How is your venture capital situation?

I may be interested in financing your operation, but only if you can mass produce Dwarf Pickles (http://wiki.project1999.com/Dwarf_Pickles). They are rather difficult to come by.

[Portasaurus]

Oh hell yeah! I can shift-left-click and run-between-two-zones like the best in the business! How many pickles do you need?

Also my venture capital situation is... not great, but also not entirely prohibitive thus far. I am certain my business plan sucks, though. Do you understand the economy here? Maybe you can help me?

[phobus]

How many pickles do you need?

That is truly a question for the ages.

I am certain my business plan sucks, though. Do you understand the economy here? Maybe you can help me?

Here is how I envision your business plan:

1. Money goes in.
2. ??
3. Pickles come out.
4. Profit!

[Pheer]

1. Money goes in.

i started to make a joke about a vending machine that dispenses pickles but then I went to google and found out they actually sell pickles out of some vending machines

now im just too disgusted to think of anything else to say except to describe my journey up to the point of making this reply

Tired of having all those friends and raid-buddies?

Join <Nomsanto Industries> today and you, too, could be by-yourself, uh... uh talking to-yourself in the guildchat window, just like me!

Seriously though... pretty sure it's just me again after the handful of noobs who were using me for PL buffs decided to move on to bigger and better things.

Please join my guild. I am so sad and lonely.

Greetings, EC Tunnelers!

It has been a busy week here in Nomsanto Industries. We recently came into a nice supply of Chunk of Ogre Flesh which has altered its price in favor of the buyer! Also, our membership has doubled from ONE to TWO! Huzzah for expansion!

We also published our ONLINE MENU (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cTFbgEk6os-4tZ_iYlP9AhwldiqOLWNsW7zCoRbWfes/pub)

In other news, Greengrocer's MEAT CASINO has been off to a great start so far! We hired an armored Pitboss to oversee the gaming operation and keep rowdy customers in-check. So far, we've had about a dozen players and although the wheel has been a little cold, I'm sure we'll get a hot streak soon! Stop by tonight and check out the newest craze to hit the EC Tunnel!

Soon to come:
-VEGGIE GAMBLING!
-GROUP/CAMP DELIVERY SERVICE
-CATERING
-[FAN-FICTION] QUESTS

Are your meats antibiotic and hormone free? Do you carry any organic items?

[myriverse]

Question the "rabbit meat" and "rabbit stew." I've never seen a rabbit on Norrath. It's probably GMO'd rat.

I dunno. Alls I know is some guy named Meatlord said he knew how to create them out of thin air...

Hello Portasaurus !

Thank you for the Druid buffs yesterday.

I fully support the Norrathian baking industry and wonder if there will be any upcoming sales on Animal shaped cookies ?

Due to my baking skill of 200 on Zanderr, can I be an honorary, untagged member?

Due to my baking skill of 200 on Zanderr, can I be an honorary, untagged member?

Hah considering nobody in the guild (none of the three of us) have our baking maxed out, I'm pretty sure that would make you honorary President and CEO of Nomsanto Industries!

Plus I've seen how fast you are. That could come in handy.

Application approved! Stop by the store later today to receive your credentials.

Serious plea to anybody who knows Velious baking and would be interested in joining the guild and spearheading the effort to bring all of the delicious new Velious treats and meals to Greengrocer for everyone to enjoy!

Also interested in talking to high end guilds about maybe establishing some sort of mutually beneficial raid meat supplyline deal?

[Portasaurus]

WTB Sea Dragon Meat!

[isiah]

^ Please high-end guilds, give this guy some Sea Dragon Meat. He doesn't want a stupid Velious totem; he wants to make a god damn sandwich!

[Portasaurus]

stupid velious totem stupid and inedible. and stupid.

delicious sea dragon steaks delicious!

cmooooooooooon. please please please?

Note: If I can't reach an understanding with the raiders, I'll be forced to attempt to socially hack the meat out of your guilds.

Speaking of... Any suggestions for emotionally weak T1 guild members that could help me organize some sort of Oceans 11 dragon-meat heist? Maybe we could do it like Office space and just take 1 meat per week/month so it's not noticeable? Either way, we'll need a very small Asian man who can do lots of back-flips.

Are the Trolls used in your Troll Pickles free range trolls?

[Nordenwatch]

the logical name for this guild would have been Street Meat Vendors.

[Gaxx]

This is an awesome idea. When I start working on my baking skill I might get in on this or at least contribute some good eats! I already have some dwarf meat on ice.

[Portasaurus]

Nice weather (and specifically the return of MLB) has significantly impacted our hours of operation, but Nomsanto Industries is always hiring experienced bakers, brewers, fishermen and fisherwomen!

Please send a PM here if you are interested in joining our ranks, helping to spread Good-Favor-by-Good-Flavor™.

Lastly, we are still looking for disgruntled T1 guild traitors to steal a bunch of [Sea Dragon Meat] in exchange for [undisclosed gifts]. Please send a PM if you think you can assist in this endeavor.
