[Goblin H-RP] <Flashbang Exports> Boomtastic!

Word on the grapevine is that people who join Flashbang Exports are often amazed by how old school and wholesome we are.

  • we actually let people use the guild bank and offer free repairs!
  • we actually socialise and communicate in guild chat
  • we help people to gear up and run them through dungeons
  • we answer questions and help people that are new to RP or to the game
  • we have a positive atmosphere and celebrate our victories
  • we work on guild achievements together
  • we have benchmarks and goals as a guild, and set our own pace

The only requirement is that you must be a goblin!

Do you have what it takes?

Lots of fun stuff on this weekend!

Friday:
10pm-12pm - We’re back into Nya’lotha for our weekly all-goblin raid (currently 8/12N).
We’ll also be doing guild Island Expeditions and running some Horrific Visions.

Saturday:
Tavern Night at 8pm, followed by the monthly IC guild meeting 9-10:30pm.

Sunday:
It’s time to re-visit some history as we visit the Orgrimmar Slums to learn about the Trade Princess Movement. This Goblin Lore Expedition runs from 7pm-8pm.
At 8pm, Opfuz and crew kick off their Magic Mythics runs!

These and lots more fun events when you join up with Flashbang Exports!

Make that 10/12N Nyalotha!

And all without demon hunters, paladins, monks, and druids. That’s no mean feat!

high fives everyone

I took a happy snap of Thelldrix accepting his Employee of the Month Award at our monthly guild meeting. He’s come a long way from the gutters of Kezan!

We are short of a healer for our Sat 5:30pm-7:30pm server time (CST) raid team.

This raid does BFA old tier content (e.g. Uldir, Battle of Dazar’Alor, Eternal Palace etc) at normal or heroic difficulty.

We would prefer a goblin priest or shaman, but accepting any Horde toon - you just have to be reliable! No gear requirements.

You must be able to listen on our voice chat discord, even if you don’t want to talk.

To sign up, please join our Flashbang Empire community:
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/invite/GMnjKP7tqBm?region=US&faction=Horde

Also, send a message to Flywheel (Discord: Flywheel#4087).

Thanks for reading!

Fishing contest coming up this weekend, Saturday 9pm in Lost Rigger Cove, Tanaris!

We’ll all be dressing up as pirates to see who can catch the most fish (and various junk items - goblins are resourceful, after all) for some awesome cash prizes up to 5,000g!

Event is open to members of Flashbang Exports, as well as our sister guild, Flashbang Associates (all Horde races). Contact Flywheel for more details.

We’re enjoying an influx of fresh goblins. Some rolled just for Flashbang Exports, others that have come from different servers.

Did you know that Flashbang Exports is one of only a few all-goblin guilds across all WoW servers? Come and see what all the fuss is about.

UPDATED OOC GUILD DETAILS!

====1. Yes, we’re goblin-only. We’ve been asked a few times to admit other races, but we’ve decided against it. You’re welcome to join our sister guild, Flashbang Associates if you’re non-goblin.

====2. Goblins currently make up about 2% of the total MG population, which is a very tiny amount! However, as Flashbang Exports is home to many of the goblins on Moon Guard, we are by no means small!

====3. If you are looking to learn how to RP a goblin, or are a beginner to RP, then this is a great place for you.

====4. Many of our goblin characters were rolled during Legion. In BfA we started doing normal raids, and even got 6/8 through Heroic Eternal Palace when it was current. One day we will get our all-goblin AoTC! We’ve also been doing mythic keystones, up to about level 10 (depending on where we are in the season). But if you want to do these runs with us, you better make your goblin your main character!

====5. The current guild plotline is that we are a merchant guild, and our focus is making moolah, lots of it. That means edging out the competition - gnomes. To make sure those little twerps don’t get the edge on us, we’ve been sending goblins dressed in gnome suits into Stormwind to try and find the masterminds of their evil plans. Once we find their gnomish tech blueprints, we’ll alter them enough to give them some KABOOM, and then go into mass production, claiming they were our ideas all along.

====6. We are very sociable, like most goblins. This is not a suitable for guild for people with anxiety or depression issues. We are loud and chatty, and we like people to get involved. Expect to see us around, having parties and generally causing mayhem. There is time for serious RP later!

====7. RP events are held at least twice weekly. We have a goblin bar night Saturdays at 8pm at the Wyvern’s Tail, as well as weekend events. We also have IC guild meetings, fishing contests, RP pet battles, demolition dervies, and we are proud hosts of the annual events “The Gizleton Grand Prix” and “The Glitz Alley Garment Showcase”.

====8. Our goblin lore expeditions run 2-3 times a year. These include tutorials about goblin history and famous personas, as well as visits to goblin-run towns.

====9. We are a mixture of goblins from various cartels, including Bilgewater, Steamwheedle and even Venture Company. Interactions with other guilds is welcomed - just don’t expect us to do anything by the book.

====10. To make it less intimidating for newcomers, there is no formal application process. All goblins are welcome. New members will be promoted to Merchant rank. If you become inactive for 3 months or more, you are demoted to OOC rank. If you are inactive for more than a year, at some point we’ll have a clean out and remove you from the guild. You have been warned! As we do have a good proportion of alt characters, it is important that you check in regularly to let us know you’re still alive.

====11. If you are interested but unsure whether or not to join, you are welcome to join our discord channel and lurk until you get an idea of what we’re about. If you’re ready to sign up, roll, or transfer a goblin this very moment, leave a message in our general chat requesting an invite or message Flywheel directly on Flywheel#4087 (messages will be answered daily, but I am not available 24/7).

====12. Our guild chat is OOC. Members are not forced to RP, but it is encouraged. We have a goblin radio IC channel at /join goblinrp

====13. Flashbang Exports Wiki Page (includes information about guild structure):
https://moon-guard.wikia.com/wiki/Flashbang_Exports

====14. Horde allies of the guild (particularly goblins from other servers), FLashbang Exports, and Flashbang Exports are all linked together by a Horde Community called The Flashbang Empire. We strongly encourage all our members to join this community to keep in touch with us. Alt characters in other guilds can also communicate with us this way.
https://www.worldofwarcraft.com/invite/GMnjKP7tqBm?region=US&faction=Horde

====15. Finally, we are a fun-loving, postive, and happy bunch of people. We have extremely low drama. We’re not hardcore players. If you’re all about pushing the latest content at the fastest rate possible, this isn’t the guild for you. If you want to play solo and keep to yourself, this is not a good guild for you either. If you want a scenic journey at your own pace, making lots of friends along the way (yes, we will make you get into voice chat, even just to listen!) then you’ll love Flashbang Exports.

Flashbang Exports is officially open (and looking for business)!

Updated: 7/05/2020

Flashbang Exports has started a new initiative to help bolster walk-up RP around the Wyvern’s Tail in Orgrimmar!

You’ll see a few of our crew standing next to our guild banner doing recruiting and also selling cheap, explosive products, as well as nifty little gadgets such as the XA-1000 Surface Skimmer.

Feel free to hang out, chat, and make some good deals!

We also encourage other guilds to do something similar. Recruiting in Orgrimmar gives new folks something to look at and makes the place feel alive. Here’s a few pics of us in action:

See you there!

Tonight the Flashbang Exports venture into Nya’lotha again and attempt to take down N’Zoth with their all-goblin crew! Go go rocket jump!

We’re also doing M0 carries, horrific visions, mythic island expeditions, mythic keystones, a heroic Eternal Palace raid, legacy mogs and mounts, a tavern bar night, and an RP auction - “Battle Pet Bargain Hunters” - and that’s all just this weekend!

Goblin guilds are great and all. But you know what’s better than that?

Gnome bards that play a mean lute. :guitar::notes: :musical_note: :notes:

runs around, arms flailing Eeep, help us! There’s a gnome here trying to MUSIC us to death! On top of that, a human with bad puns!

Someone save us, the pranksters are getting pranked!

Joined this guild today and I was very well welcomed by their folks.

I have to say you guys seem awesome. Just reading this thread was entertaining and made me want to give Goblin rp a try.

Well, I might have been in hiatus for the last few months, but Flashbang Exports has been busy as ever. I just forgot to tell one of these mooks to bump the forum thread!!

In fact, I came back to receive this disturbing report update from Scheki Shorthook:

Scheki: “…Luckily we haven’t secretly been transformed into a tentacle cult, despite the efforts of the tentacle emperor…”

Flywheel: (Phew, Opfuz has always worried me)

Scheki: “…He’s filled the swear jar for us, we may be able to afford our own yacht this year. Complete with rocket launchers and all of the redundant bells and whistles
begins searching for redundant bells and whistles…”

Flywheel: (What good is a goblin guild if we don’t have our own yacht?!)

Flywheel: Would you settle for a dingy, depending on market prices?!

Scheki: “…Yes perhaps a unicorn one! The last one unfortunately perished in an exploding pool incident which has also resulted in a duplicating rubber ducky outbreak which has left the Flashbang recreational area closed for some time.”

Flywheel: (I should have known it would come to this.)

Scheki: “…Luckily, no real ducks were harmed during this event… assuming ducks are real, of course. Our resident goose is very sus… he’s completely taken over Gilz’s office! He’s had to work, eat, and sleep in a fort made out of stacks of paperwork.”


There you have it folks. The lowdown and the dog’s breakfast I get to return to. Not that I intend to do any actual work. These guys have everything under control! Sort of…

Expect to hear more trumpets and car horns from Flashbang Exports!

Short…green…and fabulously rich! Who could ask for more!

P.S. Guldonis, I know you missed me. Just because you’re Alliance doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. By the way, can I interest you in a pair of dazzling blue suede gumboots for your fountain tromps?!

Love you Moon Guard!

A whole bunch of fun server events, some drama, some good times - you know, the usual.

Flashbang Exports was proud to take part in a MG Horde mini-campaign run by the talented writers and event hosters - Argent Advance! (wink wink Mirchea) Thank you very much for inviting us and letting us help stop the Scourge Invasion! Great job Casmifizblas, Yoinke, Bronxx, and Zhivii for getting out there and being part of the action! (Screenshot below)

The following night was the monthly Flashbang Exports guild meeting - and there was much to talk about! Topics included Flywheel’s mysterious disappearance (which involved a sea cruise around the Maelstrom and an attack by a kraken!), Yoinke’s saving of children from the Orgrimmar orphanage (what a hero!), Walkan’s words of wisdom: “A deal is deal…until something better comes along.” Then there was also Scheki’s plan to rescue an Alliance turncoat from the clutches of the Stormwind Guard. (See Scheki’s speech below).
