"Do ye enjoy fun? Be ye willing to stand 'gainst tyranny an' injustice? Do the dry rambling of English politics frustrate an' annoy ye? Do ye have a thick skin an' be not easily offended? Answer yes to these an' mayhap ye'd be a good fit."

As usual, Sir Bob speaks wisely.

We have no set criteria that one must display to be a Wolf, nor do we desire one.

The truth is that just as not all thieves are Wolves, not all Wolves are thieves. If you believe that what is right is not always what is legal, then you will always have a place in our Forest.

The best way to make up your mind if the Wolves are for you is to stop by our tavern and chat to us. Get involved here and with the stories we tell. We certainly welcome the opportunity to get to know you better!

"
Is it wise to laugh when someone tries to offend?  I may have been known to do that from time to time."

Laughter is always the wisest course of action!

Laughter and rum.....and then maybe a dagger if that doesn't work hey Calico

You would fit in by being yourself and by being the member, you want to be.
There are all types of people in the WoS, all with their own skills that they bring to the group i.e. those who are good with the law ( Siren's name springs to mind , of course they will be others ), those who have military experience ( leading armies etc ), those who have experience with ships and sailing.

Just be yourself and enjoy the anarchy !!!

I plan on fitting in by supporting my fellow Wolves since I am still new to these shores and have not yet the strength to do more. What I seek here is comradeship and like minds. From what I have seen, I have no doubt I will find them.

I don't believe in anarchy, Enigma. Many Wolves don't and we pretty much all pride ourselves on loyalty to the Pack. I think what most of us are trying to say is that what you will get from the Wolves is about what you are willing to give and vice-versa. Loyalty and dedication are well rewarded, not in gold or prestige but in camaraderie and friendship.

Wait... No gold?!?!?!?! someone told me there was gold in here somewhere...

Inanna points Herb in the direction of the next town hall.

Let's check there, shall we? 

anarchy does not preclude loyalty, nor does it preclude joining in groups with voluntary hierarchies, which is what this is. Anarchy primarily objects to the monopoly of force by governments and always asks anyone who claims authority to justify this. The popular definition of anarchy as meaning 'loves to see everything explode' is not correct.

Good point, Corwyn. I should correct myself then as what I meant by anarchy would probably more properly be defined as chaos. Destruction for the sake of it.

My idealist vision of the wolves has always been as a revolutionary group. Not for Anarchy, But violent (and nonviolent) reform. If we where an anarchist group we wouldn't allow political service and encourage activism.

if we WERE anarchists, we wouldn't stop people from political service or activism. Anarchists don't impose rules on others. I'm sure many here are Statists (the opposite of anarchists), but i think true anarchists in the political science sense of it should be welcome here.

We are loyal Enigma....family ALWAYS comes first......and we support the common man against the highly corrupt buffooons in power. We make our own laws and support each other to the death.
What more do you need to know?

Maybe saying that the wolves stand for freedom is a better term.  That includes the freedom to choose your own path within the Wolves.  It also means that they will stand up for others and yes, they allow people the freedom to do as they please even if that means breaking the law.  Freedom is about being allowed to make your own choices without censure or condemnation, something which law-givers don't always understand (or they do but have reasons for the laws anyway )

Nice to see you back around, Enigma.
