Guild Postings were the cornerstone of SotS Inc's day to day operations. On this page you'll find listed many quests that were posted in the guild, as seen in the Sick of this Shit Incorporated Campaign.
Each posting had several important bits of information, but as information was almost always filled out by the client themselves, it could be quite subjective. What one client may find "LETHAL", another may call "Medium".
Each guild posting typically included a reward promised by the quest-poster, as well as a secondary reward that the SotS guild would give to participating members. SotS usually tried it's best to match the rewards of the client, but when they came up short or couldn't match it, would offer alternative rewards such as cheese.
Missions with a cross-out title were confirmed to be completed, with participating guild members listed at bottom of the posting.
