Greetings respectable citizens,

After one week of continual disappointment in sifting through the many so-called "good guilds" that your community alleges itself to offer, it is with only great pleasure that I come to you to formally announce the local establishment of a new League of esteemed gentlemen, privy to the likes of wealthily aristocrats such as myself. I dare say, this has indeed become a rather promising venture, sure to tickle the collective fancies of Azeroth's most respected well-to-do business-folk, politicians, and men of law. Of course, one surely cannot expect that all citizens be deemed fit for acceptance into my prestigious organization, as the filthy urchins, diseased strumpets, and disattentive beggars run nearly as rampant as the fine air itself. Nevertheless, interested parties ought to be made duly aware of certain regulatory principles affixed upon the League in order to ensure a heightened standard of conduct amongst members, both initiatory and revered.

Firstly, all gentlemen must comport themselves in a distinguished manner by prominently displaying signs of utmost prestige and exercising proper etiquette at all times. This may include (but is certainly not limited to) wearing only the finest attire available and speaking in a manner befitting of only the wealthiest lot. Know too that the League shall be quick to look down upon unrefined mannerisms and behaviours such as uneducated demagoguery and crude riffraffery and will certainly not stand to tolerate the uncouth amongst its ranks.

Secondly, women and persons of colour shall be wholly restricted upon initiation to the rank of Servant and must, at all times, wear the League's tabard as a means of publicly debarking one's subservient status in this regard (available freely in the League's vault of charity). Of course, servantry on behalf the League is by no means a scoffing matter, as our gentlemen are sure to provide both comfortable shelter in the lower quarters of our manors and a modest salary—paid primarily in nutritious comestibles—befitting of most peasant stock.

Thirdly, all able-bodied gentlemen are expected to regularly partake in League activities including the likes of sports such as gentlemen's cricket, polo, game-hunting, and backgammon as well as discussions of both economical and political natures. A well-refined palate and appreciation for fine wine and tobacco is, of course, to be expected among all members—as is an exemplary quick wit and jovial sense of humour!

While my own servants may not indeed have ample time to sort through my postage with the haste that one might come to expect, given the assured welcomeness of this announcement, potential gentlemen are nevertheless welcome to contact myself personally via Kalimdor's telegraphy system in order to pose any inquiries related to membership opportunities. On might also direct questions to any of my trusted associates: Gerald B. Ainsworth, Oswald Bernard Hughes III, Cornaelius Pumpernickle, and lastly, but certainly not in the least, the well-to-do Doctor Eugene von Jovius II.

Cheerio,
Baron Wilhelm von Grimsby IV
Founder, League of Gentlemen

Many thanks to you, good gentlemen, for your most gracious blessings and support.

You may be pleased to learn that I have since acquired the services of well over one-hundred-and-twenty servants, all of whom have been quite busy in enacting their devotion to my cause. Truth be told, I have been quite surprised to observe just how quickly they have achieved solidarity amongst each other and how easily, in turn, their feeble minds have been kept amused by the most menial of group-tasks. Consider, for example, the pictograph below (freely available via hypertext protocol), the contents of which ought to clearly demonstrate both their collective innocence and unwavering positivity:

On a note somewhat-related, I am equally pleased to announce that I've discovered a growing number of eager females among the general populace. Indeed the utility promised by their naivety—and, in consequence, their capacity to serve as harlots—is sure to yield great promise to our organization in the not-so-distant future—so much so, that I saw it most befitting to grant them special recognition within the League itself:

I must say, I am always met with laughter to a most chucklesome degree whenever a young woman chooses the route of self-deprecation in her continual stride for the attention of potential suitors.
