Ahaha meanwhile, the rest of the club sits in armchairs watching as they smoke pipes and sip wine while saying "Oh i say..."   youre right, i can imagine that

[JonathanTaylor 1,028]

Added new rank logos.

Added The Crusaders Division/Knights.

Knights are the guards of the club house and shared vault.

@DanTheMan007 hopefully we can duel to the death with antique pistols to settle inter-club disputes that would be legendary

[Hanshi-Toshiro 150]

I can definitely see the club growing in size and having a great time when the game comes out. Can see myself chilling with you guys, but I am not up for the task. I am no gentleman, haha  

[AndrewDonaldson 378]

I would just like to repeat how happy I am to be apart of this club and what it means to me. I can't wait to get dressed in my finest suit and smoke pipes with these great gentlemen!

The Gentleman's Club Duelling Etiquette:
A duel can only be challenged by the insulted party. therefore if a gentleman insults another member he cannot simply duel them with the intention of hurting them with the aim of starting a feud.
Both parties must appoint a "second". this must be a trusted neutral party who shall try and end the dispute without the exchange of shots or blows. If a challenge is declared it must be through the seconds rather than their principals(being the duellists themselves). If an apology is made they must inform their principle and try and resolve the issue or quarrel.
If all fails and the duel is to be, the challenged party shall have the liberty to pick the weapons, place, time, and if using pistols how many paces shall be taken. weapons must be within reason. canes and pistols of high calibre eg, desert eagle or revolver would be used as duelling weapons due to their heavy recoil and high calibre.
A cane or blade duel should be fought until first blood or satisfaction, satisfaction is defined as the challenged party apologising or explaining away his insult and then followed by the challenger apologising for his retort and challenge to arms. A cane duel must be stopped after 5 minutes of fencing if neither party is harmed and the seconds shall then ask the men if they are satisfied or if they wish to explain their reasoning for insult or apologise. If neither parties are satisfied they may continue for another round ending with the same procedure. If the duel surpasses 3 rounds without injury this is dishonourable and somewhat ridiculous and must be stopped and if the parties are dissatisfied they may change their weapon of choice (this time the challenger must choose). or they may reschedule another duel for a later date that must be within the next 3 days. If neither party are injured in the second duel the quarrel must be declared over and the men will be told to argue no more of the matter. A sword duel must be stopped as soon as the first injury is made.
Dress code: Duellists should not wear jackets or ties. hats are also not advisable. they should wear either a shirt(long sleeve preferably or sleeves rolled down) or they may choose to wear a waistcoat.
Pistol duels should be governed seriously and strictly by the seconds (who must have their own weapons incise a scuffle breaks out of someone cheats). The seconds must load the pistols for their principals and then proceed to make the duellists stand the set amount of paces apart. they must then aim their pistols and on a signal they will have 3 seconds to fire their shots(misfires count as shots, strictly not "dummy" firing. which means purposefully missing). after one exchange of shots the procedure at the end of a fencing round will be given. A chance to be satisfied or apologise. if not, they may proceed again for another 3 rounds. If the duel surpasses 3 rounds it will be declared over. If seconds disagree with each other and resort to exchanging shots or blows it must be at the same time as their principals and at the same distance.  Seconds however, should try to remain neutral.

The Gentleman's Club  Est.1863

The Gentleman's Club is a social club for upper-class citizens of Identity.

We aim to have a subsided club for the rich citizens of the island for us to get together and engage in activities as one.

PLEASE NOTE: This is in no way a gang and will never involve illegal activities.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ranks

The rank structure of the club is simple and easy.

 

The Chairman is the highest rank of the club and is the leader of the club. The role of the chairman is to arrange meetings and to make sure that all costs for the clubhouse and other private properties are met.

 

The Vice Chairman is the second highest rank within the club. The role of the vice chairman is much like the role of the chairman. They will have control over the club whilst the chairman is not present and will also suggest new club rules and updates as well as help arranging evens for the club.

 

The Chairmans Secretary helps the Chairman in making sure that all bills are paid on time and arranges meetings for the Chairman and Vice Chairman. They work very closely with the Chairman and Vice Chairman.

 

The Baron is in charge of anything money. They are in charge of the cashflow into the club and ensure that the money is handled well before being distributed between assets that need to be paid such as the club house and our Knights.

 

The Duke is last staff rank of the club. The role of the duke is to observe and help run club events. They will be present at every club event to see that they running smoothly and that everyone is following the rules. They are also in charge of land and property ownership and maintains our private land for a personal use.

 

A Man of Honor is a Gentleman who has shown their worth to the club by being in for a certain amount of time and by helping to fund the club. These members should be given the utmost respect for their contribution to the club.

 

An Esteemed Gentleman is a slight rank up from Gentleman. They have shown their worth to the club and can now gain access to the club house without invitation from a superior.

 

The Gentleman of the club is the standard rank for those that have paid their way into the club. From this rank you can get involved in club events as well as pass time at our private clubhouse. You must be provided with an invitation to the clubhouse before entering.

 

Crusaders are a rank up from Knights. They are a senior Knight who has taken the role of leading the Knights and ensuring they are doing their job correctly and receive the proper training.

 

Within our newly founded Crusaders Division you can find the Knights. These are the specially trained guards of The Gentleman's Club club house and vault. No one gets past these brave men without the proper authority and they assure that no one gets to places they arent supposed to be. They are put through rigorous training and are generally sought out from military and special forces backgrounds due to their discipline and trust.

 

The Club Mechanic maintains all club members vehicles in a private garage on site and ensures they are in tip top shape before their next use.

 

An Associate of the club is someone who is a friend of the club. Someone who holds this rank gives them limited access to the clubhouse although they will not be allowed to join in on club events or meetings.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Events/Activites

The club will get involved in various activities, all of which are private events for the club.

Some of these events are:

- Hunting
- Pool
- Socialising
- Darts
- Smoking Pipes
- Etc.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shared Vault

An idea that i would like to implement into The Gentleman's Club is a shared vault. This vault will allow players to deposit and withdraw money from a shared account that we can all put money into. We can add a new rank known as The Accountant and have him set up the account and record how much is deposited and withdrawn by each member. Of course there will be rules on this as we dont want people taking out everything but it means that people can access money if they need a little extra to buy a better suit or if we need to use some to pay for the rent. 

Gentlemen, let me know what you think of this before we make it official.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Admission

To become a Gentleman first you must have over a certain amount of money in your bank account (TBD).

After, you must pay an admission fee (TBD).

From there, you will become a Gentleman and will have access to our clubhouse and events.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a mens only club, however, if enough female characters would like to request to join, a new female-only wing will be added.

Does that mean that people can attempt a heist on the vault?

Most likely not as unfortunately i doubt the developers would create a house with such functionality just for one group. Most likely would be a shared bank account but the Knights are there for other purposes too

[JonathanTaylor 1,028]

The Gentlemans Club is rising up slowly but surly. Currently at 14 members and rising every day. It's nice to see people so interested in this club and want to say a big thank you to all those who have joined and want to invite those who are thinking of joining. I can definitely say we will all have to get involved in a hunt and a feast once the game releases as a thank you and welcome. 

Jolly good show old chaps!

[DanTheMan007 8]

Thanks Rem

[Zeus 96]

If you guys dont have a mechanic yet I'll be more than happy to be your private mechanic.

[JoelKeys 412]

I'm proud to announce that due to my recent interest in affiliation with this group I will be providing a full set (shirt, jacket, pants, shoes, vest & tie) of formal wear to every member of the club. As well as this, every member who purchases our products from our own branded stores will receive a 50% discount. The Chairman & Vice will receive a 75% discount of all of our products in all stores and they will also receive the free set. Please notify me before launch of the beta that you wish to claim your free suit so I can gather which materials, colors etc. I will need.

Thanks,

Joel Keys, founder and CEO of Keys High-End Apparel

Very interesting. I would very much like to join. I am a bespoke tailor and perhaps I could offer my services to the gentlemen in the club? 

[BioHaze 16]

I am interested in joining this group. I am not sure If I am supposed to fill out a form, but I am interested. 

[JonathanTaylor 1,028]
