Starting at the beginning of each month and ending at the conclusion of the month the community will be allowed to vote for a guild of their choice. The guild with the most votes will have their own Featured Guild Thread which will stickied for the duration of the following month.
Now this vote is not to determine which guild is the largest so one of the rules will be no voting for your own guild. This is to determine which guild the community thinks deserves attention. If that is your guild then the community will vote for it. :)
This vote includes all guilds new or old, large or small.
It is possible for a guild to be nominated for more than one month but cannot be nominated two months in a row.
Each member can only vote once and any attempt to cheat will result in all the votes of that person being eliminated.
Since the month of September is already underway voting for October\'s Featured Guild will begin immediately and end on September 30.
Those of you who would like to participate can contact me through PMs, AIM, or IRC.
Comments and questions are welcome.

telling us how we can vote whould be helpfull aendar :)

call me slow witted if you like, but whats wrong with a poll
-
Polls cannot be strictly controlled in terms of own-guild voting, voting with your alt accounts, voting more than once, etc. This method ensures the votes are properly checked and everything is kept in order to prevent unfairness.
Great idea Aendar, if you need any help I\'ll offer a hand or two. :) (My own hands. And... attatched to my body. Which is what will really help, not just my hands, but my head. Also what\'s inside my head would be useful in this process. Not to say you have to crack my skull open and talk to my brain, no, you would also need my ears for that. No no, my ears will be attatched to my head, you don\'t use them to talk to my brain with. Oh nevermind...)
-
I can\'t say I like the idea, just seems unnecessary to me...but then again, I can say that about a lot of things. ^
Um, what I meant to say was, good luck getting your guild featured.
And there are way too many guilds for a poll, not to mention more being created/abandoned in a shorter time then a month, along with what Mogura said.
Remember, no matter what you say, you still lose.
-
you can still vote via pm with alt accounts.
-
They can check your IP with much more ease that way though.
-
Great idea and good luck with it.
*starts thinking on who to vote*
-
call me slow witted if you like, but whats wrong with a poll
Plus you have to take into account exactly how many guilds there are. And new guilds are created, destroyed in a days time.

Mirth Guild - 3
Mercenary Guild - 2
Bloodclaw - 1

-
Allies are allowed to vote for each others\' guilds right?
-
Aww, we dont have allies :( Not good for TMG, not that it really matters.
*sends in his vote*
-
aww, this sucks, no HV? PLEASE someone vote for HV!!
*sends his vote for XXX*
-
Bloodclaw is still alive?
Haven\'t heard from them in a while...

I don\'t think your guild is very appreciated, mostly due to it\'s relative lack of organization, and it\'s goals and desires. It doesn\'t seem to be a particularly original concept, either. Members of your guild are unlikely to RP when in-game or out.
AO is winning because they rp constantly (if only on their own forums); are great people; they are well organized and thought-out; and even if their concept isn\'t original, they manage to make it very interesting.
Although, as per usual, Rangers has slipped under the radar. :P
-
Same with Blitzers.... :(
Aendar, did you vote?
-
Monketh, I have changed the guild a LOT you\'ll see when I make the first Helmora Velsha thread (gotta wait for MM one to go down :()
Oh and bc inc. isnt inactive I see taldor here and in game almost every day of the week :)
-
^^ Monketh is probally right but as of late I haven\'t had the chance to see any of it. Meh I\'ll save my vote.
-
To be fair, there should be featured organizations.
...
Ok, I just want a permanent sticky. ;)
-
This is just a suggestion but what if there was a forum where all the threads where threads for a certain guild and where pinned so... well... ya.

*pokes*
Off to the forum suggestions forum with you!
And FES^2 I\'ll repeat, does your guild roleplay?
That part\'s critical. Anywho, I await your new thread.

i dont think i understand what your trying to say. and
btw \"were\" has no \"h\" after the w. that makes it \"where\" as in \"where is my right shoe?\"
moketh, what does it mean to roleplay?(sorry for the nubish question, but i dunno what your talking about)and our guild consists of mainly 2 active people. me and fes^2

ROFL! :D :D
Ah, that would be a problem Hahaha. :D :D
Oh man, Oh man...
*breath*
*exhale*
Ok, Im alright... whew. Edoo, your a funny guy. :D Im gonna let someone else answer this before I get banned...

A. A forum for a specific guild is what he meant. I think...
B. To roleplay is to assume a character and act (in-game) as s/he would. Like an actor improvising. If you\'d like a more in-depth definition, I can give you some links.
C.Three here, but we\'ve been around a while and none of us are likely to leave soon. Members have come and gone, but we\'re stable at 3. Kinda like a radioactive atom. : P Mostly, it\'s the quality of a member over the quantity. Quwaar and X are two very respectable fellows, and I usually am, so we get a good rep despite the meager size of the guild. We have no past fiascos under this set of management, and our guild has a guild it descended from. Quite interesting, actually. That\'s why I\'m so stubborn about giving up this guild; it\'s \'historical\'.
Everyone knows Monketh, anyway. :P
-
ha ha icey, i knew what it meant to \"roleplay\" i just didnt understand what monketh meant. like the part where he said i await your new thread. but i do understand the part where he thinks im really cool ;)
And FES^2 I\'ll repeat, does your guild roleplay?
That part\'s critical. Anywho, I await your new thread.
(i think edooo is really cool =b)
monketh - do anyof your other guildmembers come to the forums? i dont think i see them around much. btw, can you pm the links? i would like to know more about this thing you call RP
-
Monketh, my guild follows a line of evil so I dont expect them to go save the lives of Mirth members (sorry, first good guild name to pop in my head) I\'d like my members to follow what we are about. especially when we are on a guild against guild match. So, yes we do RP. I enjoy it and I hope all my members do too. (or they die :P)
-
Same with Blitzers....
Aendar, did you vote?
No as I think that would be unfair as in I would have the ability to break a tieing vote.
To be fair, there should be featured organizations.
...
Ok, I just want a permanent sticky.
I have no problem with the BISM being nominated, or any other organizations, religions. etc.
-
Why didnt you tell me this before -_-
JK im not mad, ill just voe for it next time

*Sighs* Sorry Ed(o^3) my boy, he was right. You were wrong.
\'Where\' is not restricted to refering to only physical places, but abstract places too like forums or websites (E.g. \'A forum where people roleplay.\').
\'Were\' (the past tense of the verb \'to be\') is used for just that: describing the state of a number of objects in the past (E.g. \'Most guilds were not nominated.\').
With that said, go AO \\o/
-

That would brake it too. The name states a guild voting.
I voted for the Cabal, but I\'m not sure how that goes with the \"don\'t vote for yer guild\" rule. :D
-
With 10 days to go the current standings are:
Arcane Order - 7
Cabal - 5
Mirth Guild - 4
Mercenary Guild - 3
Ordo Illuminatis - 2
Bloodclaw - 1

O know this is an older post but...What the hell am I? Chopped liver?
I may not be here every day, but I am married -with kids and a job! I seldom miss more than three...
*Calming down*
*Strolling around the house*
*On subject*
I think that this featured guild thing is the best idea in a long time...As far as guilds go.
>Goes to make his vote<
Oh and if anyone wants some info on RP. Wait about...Oh...two more weeks. I am finishing my NtRPG (New to Role Playing Guide) :D :)

ok, i must have misread his post. because i remember i didnt understand it at first glance. my bad, sorry fes
on another vote*, why doesnt anyone vote for hv? not here nor at the tavern, boohoo no one likes us :\'(
EDIT: note*
-
Well the guilds on the list have a great rep and are much older than ours. As far as the tavern goes, I think the MM thread confused some people and dont know wether were MM or HV so they just vote for DOTS ha ha ha dots.....
Plus what the others said before
-
OK, i know this post might drag us off topic by just a tiny bit,
but
is the thread \"the mm a fresh start\" the hv thread? or do we still not have an hv thread? because i noticed that no one had voted for hv, so maybe thats because we dont have an official thread(or because nobody likes us).
(going more off topic) do we have a tavern thread? if so ill start going to the tavern more often.
(coming back on topic)
dude, who are these guilds? the arcane order rings a bell...is that the one with drake or whatever? and after tmg i havent heard of anyof them \'cept the community. if they have such a great rep, why have i not heard of them?(
-
edooo to get to you, alot of these guilds are pretty old and waiting for cb to finally come, we are waiting almost a year now ( they are a bit late on schedule because they went over to an updated engine near the desired release date ) so most of them don\'t bother to promote themselves until CB.
And aender, since when is MIRTH a guild, aint it an organisation, or i missed something.
-
Dorbian, Dorbian ...ttttsk :D
-
Edooo the reason no one has voted for HV is because anyone who thought about it had their eyes burnt out by your sig. I mean, who here doesn\'t have sore eyes now?
Now seriously its probably because your guild flies under the radar a little i.e. I didn\'t even know that HV was a guild until I read this post.
-Zorium
-
Edooo, could you please change your signature? The fast flashing black and white is really annoying and nearly gave me a headache not to mention my poor eyes.
I think a guild to be featured probably has to have a fair number of members, be well known and be considered a very important or interesting guild. :)
-
And it has to be liked...
-
if people dint like aguild they wouldn\'t vote for it...
-
nicely put druke.
lavana - then close your eyes! jk..ill change it, sorry
-
lol, and thanks, edooo.
/me eyes come back to life XD

I should have voted for mercs, but I vote for AO just so I can say snobs won :D ...just joking :D

October\'s Featured Guild: The Arcane Order
Congratulations. The leader of said guild needs to contact me at their earliest convenience through PM or IRC.
The voting for next month\'s featured guild begins today and ends on October 31. Please remember the Arcane Order cannot be nominated this month.
-
Well what do you know, the \"snobs\" have pulled it off... huzzah!
/me swings his cane at the forum goers :P
-
And the Cabal got second right? ;) Grats to AO anyway...A fine guild it is :D
-
Hey Armeen, Ice voted for us, I must admit, I thought it was you. Also, why aren\'t we on Kada\'s list yet?

-
Interesting... My decided, yet well-thought vote goes to everybody\'s favorite elven supremacist guild (Just kidding! Don\'t hit me.): The Calen Vakhar.
-
I vote for mercs :) Is this round over?
-
yeah, I think so.
-
Winner of November\'s Featured Guild is the Mercenary Guild. Their leader(s) can now post their desired thread, as with the last one anyone who replies to that thread before I have chance to sticky it will have that post deleted.
TMG - the post should give viewers all the info about your guild (allignment, goal, website, forums, etc.) and anything else you choose to give.
Voting for December\'s Featured Guild starts now.
Votes so far:
Calen Vakhar - 3
Arcane Order - 2
Ashes - 2
Mirth - 1
Cabal - 1
-
They definitely deserve the featured guild title :). Gratz!
-
Congrats TMG, you had my vote.
-
Yay we won ^^ ...
I didn\'t even know there was a featured guild thingy o.0, sorry for not voting for anybody, though I may get round for voting for a guild this time round...
-
I give my vote to the Arcane Order. I dont know why, i just used to always like the guild (not as much as my guild of course).
As far as writing out the sticky, if i have time, i will do it tomorow.
-
You should keep your vote secret, more fun that way.
-
Thanks Russian, btw, is your leader gonna make a thread?
-
Eather I, or one of the other leaders will make a sticky soon. I cant do it now because i\'m at school in a computer class... Not doing my work... :)
-
Ok, ready to be stickied...
-
Hm... I guess we will have some visitors this month... (http://smaylik.by.ru/i/555.gif)
-
go mercenary guild phoenix division, it rocks, everybody should join... what better can you think of than being chaotic neutral?
hey ice where\'d my sig go?
-
what better than chaoyic neutral? Lawful Evil :D
-
O nonono your wrong. Lawful Good is best :)
-
Let me guess what the following discussion will be about....
*turns off the lights*
-
I\'m rightbehind you Myrtl, I\'ll try and persuade some people to vote for the KT
-
Never trust a Knight Templar ;)
Somebody that good has got to have something bad buried deep inside...To truly be stable within alignments stay neutral.
That way if you feel like not being as nice one day you dont have to pay moral penance!
-
Any one who wants to vote for Knowledge Seekers (http://www.planeshift3d.com/wbboard/thread.php?threadid=11617&boardid=18&styleid=3) is free to do it :P (not spam, just informing)
*thinks in the guild to vote
What\'s the voting status?
-
Aendar seems to have disapeared so this months featured guild voting may be a little slow coming.
-
Yes so it seems he has disappeared its been Pick on Aendar day forever on the IRC channel #planeshift :P
-
SCORE! I guess that means we get to the the featured guild for 2 months running! oooo yeah! 8)
-
Logically the Mercs are the main suspects. They have the featured guild, and he dissapears which gives them some more time in the spotlight. Good job Mercs! ;)
-
Well I have been quite swamped as of late with work so I have very little time at the moment. And I\'m not back yet...simply a break amid the chaos.
As I have no time or energy to count the votes, although I believe the CV won it I will allow the Mercs to stay....god knows they need it.

He almost when into the corrupt side of himself and awarded his own guild with it even though he got no votes :O
-
As I have no time or energy to count the votes
ok...really no point in having this then.
Also I believe Ashes won :P We always get lots of votes towards the end...
-
Yes no need for these votings because are we all turning into retail products that need to be sold off from a comercial?
-
Aye. seems very pointles without any1 actually countng the votes...(gimme a 20 and im yours ):)
-
This is maybe a bad time for commercials, but...

-
annah you moron aendar hasent been around for 2 months so the feature guild thing is useless at the moment. look before you use that worthless brain of yours
-
That wasnt very nice Sep :P
-
Aye Annah bashing seems to always have been the popular sport round these parts. But all in all he\'s not that bad. More so because he\'s devoted to My princess.
Alas!.. so are others but does Aelya care? Beauty thou art Cruelty. Not one look does she bestow upon those who would gladly die for it. But perhaps it is fair. To have addressed her is a priviledge; One dares not hope to have even been heard, let alone a reply from her lips. I guess I must not lament and accept misery with a smile for is not being graced by her presence a reward beyond my wildest expectations? I will fade into oblivion my lady, lest your memory be burdened by the knowledge of my miserable existence. Oh would that you speak to me!! I would go mad!.. I leave madam .. I die......
-
I see someones still attached and still as flattering as ever :P You can talk to me on MSN you know.
-
She\'s the Dark Empire\'s Empress not your princess. Since your words are fair to the Princess I hope you are fair to your words.
Specially the last ones.
-
OOC Auran did you write that? Or Shakespeare?
-
OOC Auran did you write that? Or Shakespeare?
To Fiere:
Ramblings of a fool, my lady. nothing but foolish ramblings. But I am honoured that you mistake me for the bard. Thank you gracious and naive one ;).
She\'s the Dark Empire\'s Empress not your princess. Since your words are fair to the Princess I hope you are fair to your words.
To Sangwa:
Begone cur! To deny me my princess! Absurd!! Even my princess never denied me this one favour. So silence your tongue or i will deprive you of it. X(
To Aelya :
First let me thank you madam for responding to my laments. How can i ever not be attached to you madam? Answer that? I am your humble servant princess. And what you call flattery is a cry from my heart. No more, No less.
Its no fun on MSN madam! I would have the world hear that i have the priviledge of being the happiest man in PS. I suffer before the world do I not? So why should my succour be private? I want to be able to cry out loud, that I am blessed beyond measure in having been granted an audience by my princess, and not be ridiculed by the incredulous masses. No. If you grant me this boon then I would have the world know of it. Till then i suffer. Atleast I have the satisfaction of knowing that the world acknowledges my pain.
Plus pokemongoldandsilver is hardly ever online :(. Also MSN is a friggin pain in the arse ;):D:P. Why don\'t you play along here on the PS forums. Create your charachter\'s history and attitude for Auran as you see fit. Choose to be the indifferent icy beauty, the suffering lover who is held by her obligations, the spiteful charmer who seduces to destroy or anything else you wish. I will be happy to play along ;).
PS: Remember Aelya I am no longer a Corruptor so you should have no concerns in that regard:). I didn\'t think you ever had any issues with that but whatever. Since Annah informs me that you still associate me with Cabal I wanted to clear that up. I can never totally give up on the Cabal, you must understand, like you can never abandon the DE. But i no longer am part of its workings.
-
Well, a good start would be to not call my members names :P
But perhaps we should take this to the roleplaying forum if thats where you want to go with it. I\'ll play along of course.
-
As you command my princess . Look out for my thread on the RP forum soon :).
-
You people spam too much
-
:rolleyes:
-
Very helpful, Taser...:D
So... Shall we start voting again?
-
one thing said it all Exaero
-
We would like to introduce our selves and our new site, its under construction but its up..
http://www.angelfire.com/rpg2/thepaladins
we have an open forum running to if interested....
Kind regards,
