Ah yes, our young pupil. Forgive us for not mentioning that the entire last post was truly out of character. It was our own obsevations from outside the glass bowl that we listed. We have no intention of changing any character's mind in the matter. As said, the matter has been delt with In character as well, completely seperate from the test.
Your observations on the two characters used in this RP are very much correct, and not in the least like the personalities of the player. The higher ranking officer was, as you said, a prepotent jerk. The subordinate vouteered after a string of failed jobs, and has always been played as a bit of a blockhead. We do not take offence at your charracter, or you, the player, seeing them exactly as we portraied them. In fact, we deem it a compliment.
Now, one thing we will not do is force our roleplay on those that do not wish it. That always ends in disaster, and out of charracter arguments. This experiment was designed to prove that very point. We ended it before the ooc went beyond a few comments. We will use tells to ask if we may step in, but we know that the answer will generally be "no". As for participating in RP that we are not invited to, how do you think it would have turned out if we had tried to force our way into the Vespers vs Thieves RP without being invited? What would have happened if we tried to arrest Xillix for her crime of killing the beggar without the player's permision? You know the answer. Like it or not, roleplay tends to be exclusive in this game at times. What is not wanted is ignored or glazed over. We would have been swept under the rug as yet another new guild that tried to 'rule the world'. This is not our objective, nor will it ever be. We DO NOT have any true power. We are an RP tool. When we are fully ready, we expect to be used as such.
From this point forward the guild will be moving slow, and taking small steps. We will test each point we wish to add to the system before moving on to the next. If you do see us, we would ask kindly that you A: Play along as if being reported actually could cause harm to your character in reputation at least. B: Ignore us, as we do not wish to get into time wasting IC or OOC arguments on the validity of our guild. That is the only help we ask for now, and the most important.
One last thing that you can not forget is that this game is considered pre-alpha. That includes everything in it. From the graphics to Setting to guilds and to your very characters. We are testing what works in game mechanics, in story mechanics, and in roleplay. Flaws will be found in all three. We play fully understanding this.
Have a nice day, and obey the Law.
