.About Us
We are Grumpy Old People.
Our motto is " HEY YOU KIDS! GET OFF OF OUR LAWN! "
The Field Mice Union was mistakenly created when "Dinsdale" realized that there were massive amounts of unemployed woodland creatures who had no gainable employment opportunities. Being "New" to the game,.and not having much gold, he struck up a partnership with a traveling Thespian perfromance group of field mice who (through no fault of their own) had run up massive debts playing the Cheese Market with their retirement funds. A deal was then struck between their lawyers whereby, when not being contractually liable for a "booked" performance of their traveling thespian troop, they would then provide "Military Service" to the Lord Dinsdale in lieu of the payments towards their -negative balance- owed to their Cheese Broker.
Unfortunately for Lord Dinsdale - (who has never engaged in the small mammal personnel market before), he soon found himself -Contractully obligated- to many demands and requirements that only one familiar with "Woodland Law" would have seen fit to expect or be amenable too. In short... The Field Mice Unionized - and now guess who's running the show? This situation was not helped by the "GM StormCrow" when he made the mistake of granting them an upgrade boon to their troop skills In December of 2011. [02:01]<System> promotes Dinsdale's "Standard Field Mice" to "Doom-mongering Field Mice Of The Apocalypse". (Apodemus ultimi). Speaking in GC in February to the question of whether FMU really had this - 01:37]<GM Stormcrow> This is true btw. FMU does indeed have Doom-mongering Field Mice Of The Apocalypse at their disposal. Stay away... stay well away... Even the Mammoths and Dracoliches fear them.
The Field Mice Union - is now only authorized (under article 435 of the Small Woodland Creature Employment Code, para 3, section b), to accept into their membership: players that are over (or at a minimum) of 40 years of age. There are no exceptions to this "Woodland Law" decree, as their Lawyers are smaller and more adept at reading the fine print than we are.
Also : all applicants must pass a through review and be found Silly, intellectual, and willing to discuss events other then the latest "drama" relating to their personal "hipster -lives". In short - it would be helpful if you've read a book or two and are cognizant that there is a life beyond teleivison and the inherent media that suffocates our culture.
The Field Mice Union - is open to all races and genders who are grumpy old people who have a big heart, and lots of spare time to engage in mindless online computer play of said game. And are willing to put up with the antics of said Woodland Law constraints.
The Field Mice Union - is not actively recruiting players. If however; you are old and grumpy and think you are capable of passing the Woodland Creature personality test, and have had your rabies shots. Then we suppose we would have no choice but to consider such applicants for membership in this -grumbling mumbling - alliance.
For all such enquiries (other then "how are you guys doing today?" We have been informed by the Field Mice Union steward's that you must actually contact us. This we were told (by their lawyers) is something called Diplomacy. To do so, please contact either Dinsdale or Kojak. If you are willing to actually take the time and effort to write to us by IGM (in game message)...we will respond in due course.
To all alliances - The Field Mice Union : Is underwritten and covered for Insurance purposes by the FMU Insurance Fund : who hold gold in escrow to cover any damages or reparations due to the conduct of one of our brethren per Woodland Law article 14 - section 22 para 1(a) and 3 (b) of the Small Woodland Creature Civic Code.
