9/27/06 The clan is growing amazingly quickly.  Because we won't be able to hang out by the hospital forever, I made a forum for us.  This forum is intended to help the clan communicate, but I also intend to make it somewhere for Derbians in general to communicate and seek help.  I intend to add a beginner's guide tailored to life in Derby at the first opportunity.  The goal is to increase retention of both Hospitallers and Derbians in general.

For the good of Derby!

For too long, Derby has been a backwater. Isolated from the rest of the island, Derby is a settlement without law or defense. No longer! The Knights Hospitaller are an old order, dating back to the Crusades. Now, a group has emerged on Shartak, basing their conduct on the Hospitallers' code of protection and aid.

The Hospitaller Code of Honor

Hospitallers are encouraged to uphold the following code of conduct.

  • Hospitallers' first duty is to Derby and its inhabitants. Hospitallers should:
    • defend Derby from hostile incursions. Examples include pirate or native raids. At this time, the Hospitallers neither condemn nor endorse attacks on peaceful natives or pirates.
    • heal wounded Derbians and other wounded outsiders.
    • attack vile criminals (PKers and zergers).
  • All Hospitallers should maintain a proper sense of decorum. They should refrain from vile language and insults. (Out of character, don't flame people. If someone flames you, responding in kind just makes you and the clan look bad. As for foul language, while there won't be consequences for the occassional slip, excessive foul language is pointless; it makes you look like you aren't smart enough to express yourself in any other way. Basically, act like a mature adult.)


Laws of the Hospitallers

Unlike the code of honor, which is a set of ideals to strive towards, the laws that follow are strictly enforced. Violation may result in immediate expulsion from the Hospitallers.

  • Murder of innocent Derbians, Yorkmen, and Durhamites is strictly forbidden.
  • Practicing the dark art known as "Zerging" is absolutely and utterly forbidden under Hospitaller law.

Ballad of the Hospitallers

A man of peace to Derby came,

Kind and young, James Barnes was his name.

Though strong of mind and strong of arm,

He meant no ill, he brought no harm.

He came to Shartak full of wonder,

But savage men tore him asunder.

He now understood the many threats grave.

He founded a clinic where healing he gave.

Despite his hopes, it was not enough.

Derby needs mighty men and soldiers tough.

Vowed he did, that stand he would.

Men must fight for Derby's good.

Do not be upset, the ballad is not through.

It waits for Derbians, Derbians like you.

The rest of this ballad, you must write,

As for the good of Derby, we do fight.


Blowpipes fired and cutlesses slew,

There was no law, no defence, everybody knew,

James Barnes came, his goal was for good,

But alone in his noble purpose he stood,

Then out of Derby, MajesticNinja did come,

Proud, hot-blooded, patriotic and young,

His bullets would destroy any foe,

So haters of Derby, please beware and know,

MajesticNinja is here,

And is now a Derby Hospitaller!


Fighting all of those who slay,

Was the heroine Janet Grey,

On the field a valkyrie wonder,

Will battle until she's six feet under,

To protect the innocent is her goal,

From all the villians that she know,

Can hit a man hundred metres out,

Will save the day with little doubt,

Let us all give a cheer,

For our new Hospitaller!
