Is the GMS Still Active - KaiserDietz - 07-23-2013
I have interest in doing diplomacy with them, but can find neither a recent faction page, unofficial or official.

Someone in some chat yesterday said about GMS in Colorado, not sure if it is true or not...

I rarely see them on and when they are it's only one, 2 at most.
RE: Is the GMS Still Active - St.Denis - 07-23-2013
Yes GMS is fully alive and kicking.
Look for GMS|

RE: Is the GMS Still Active - KaiserDietz - 07-23-2013
can anyone direct me to an info page?
RE: Is the GMS Still Active - SummerMcLovin - 07-23-2013
There isn't one for GMS| that I've ever seen, but St. Denis here will be able to answer any of your questions as he runs it. The old [GMS] Wiki page might be worth a look for interest, but I don't think the current one is very "ZE ARCH"-y.
RE: Is the GMS Still Active - Caelumaresh - 07-23-2013
What is ZE ARCH anyways?
RE: Is the GMS Still Active - St.Denis - 07-23-2013
As SM has already mentioned we don't have an info page. I have never openly bothered to recruit anybody. This GMS| was started approx 15-17 months ago by 3 of us who wanted to do something different.
We are still a very small group, that enjoy what we do, and are active in Gallia in one form or another with myself as the most active of us.
We are not, as already mentioned, very ZE ARCH.
KD, if you need any questions answered feel free to PM me.

ZE ARCH is love, joy, knowledge and everything!
Something like that anyway, it is a formless monotheistic entity that some of the old GMS worshipped in their own church. Just some fun internal RP like Bowex and their badgers.

Seeing as ZE ARCH has been mentioned, find below an explanation of it.
While not a requirement to be a part of the company, most members of GMS are also practicing Archists. Dating to the early 7th centuy A.G.S., Archism is primarily a belief in an entity known as Ze Arch, a formless entity to which tribute is paid. Ze Arch, in most senses, is a typical deity of monotheistic religions, being all-powerful and all-knowing. Recently, however, some members of the religion report to have encountered an entity with the title Nash that is said to be a carrier of the spirit of Ze Arch.
As an alternative to standard monetary offerings in most religions, the majority of GMS miners believe that the ore they mine and transport is for the benefit of Ze Arch. This can be traced back to the following passage in The Book of Curves.
"And thus Jean Pierre was commanded to go forth in His name and extract from the cosmos that which was necessary for the creation of a great fleet, which would carry the body and spirit of His children throughout the same in the name of peace."
Flavorarrow.png Book of Curves, Chapter VI, Verse 14
Members of the Church of Ze Arch are most often tolerant in their beliefs when conversing with others, however, any insult to Ze Arch is considered extremely offensive and can result in aggressive actions.
While GMS is home to the largest segment of Archist populations, the religion has spread throughout the decades since its formation, being practiced by notable members of the Gallic Royal Police and a growing segment of Gallia's civilian population.
