I\'m thinking of starting a new guild. I have some concrete ideas of what I\'m looking for, but it\'s not much fun doing all the creating and coming up with all the details by yourself. Besides, with two people there\'ll be more ideas. If you\'re interested, pm me or post here. I\'ll be in touch. I\'m not going to post ideas, because I don\'t want anyone stealing them, it\'s not that they\'re so genius, it\'s just that I want this guild to be unique, soo...
-
I don\'t think anyone will steal them if you post them.... and it might help you to find the second founder. at least alignment maybe?
-
I know, lol, I was thinking about that and it was annoying me, \'cause I though, \"How the heck is anyone gonna know whether or not they wanna partner when they don\'t have the first clue about my ideas.
Ok, I\'m not sure of the alignment yet, since I\'m not sure what exact alignments there are, but it will definitely be leaning toward the \"good\" side. Basically, the skeleton idea is this, a tight-knit clan of well-chosen members willing to do just about anything for each other. Very much concerned with each other and working as a team. Very much a \"brotherhood\" idea, more than just a \"guild.\"

There are several threads on alignments, already; you should try a search, but it rarely works. :/

heh... add \"fight to protect others\" and you\'ll have exact description of Defenders guild :P
-
No, I wouldn\'t say so. There\'s is more of a Knights of the Round Table, or City Gaurd kind of organization. This would be, well, less noble and open. Kind of like a \"good\" mafia. We would have some mercenary traits, but not completely. We would be dominated by more warlike characters, but again, not completely. We would be small, or, if not small, at least elite, with the recruits having to go through some kind of test to decide their abilities and perhaps a vote. The Defenders kinda gives me a vision of a bunch of strong fighters who don\'t necessarily excel in intelligence, whereas shrewdness and sharpness would have a lot to do with us.
-
no, actually they\'re both warriors and mages :P
And yea, guardians for the mercenary thing...
I guess you want rather neutral guild...
-
You could take some ideas from other guilds... as long as you dont steel their main idea i guess thats ok...
-
Maybe, like I said, I couldn\'t find a place that explains all the alignments, so I don\'t know for sure.
What did you mean with that about paladins and mages?
-
it was answer to thy last sentence
-
Oh, I get it. Now... just what would you be implying? *innocence*
-
Well son I\'ll tell you what. Drop the \"Good\" from the good Mafia and you\'ll be a guild after my own heart. Plus policing can be done by corrupt people yet they can be loyal to each other. Do that and I\'ll ensure you the post of town police once we have broken PS in. It\'ll be mutually beneficial. We get a mafia to do some of our dirty work and you get to live and prosper. Its a fair deal.
-
A Cabali police force... Savion likes!
-
Lol, I\'m not sure if I want to be cruel to people, but as for some kind of a police force, that might work. \'Course then we\'d have to prove that we\'re competent, and certain guild members might need... convincing... and you wouldn\'t like that. :D Besides, I thought that the Defenders were more like the policemen. Maybe we could be an inter-guild police force. :D And then we could go corrupt and rule all the guilds. Muahahaha. :D No, I\'m just kidding ,don\'t flame me.
Anyway, looks like I\'m gonna have to start work on this guild by myself.
-
policemen are more like lawful-neutral, while Defenders are lawful-good so no, not really ;)

-
You don\'t have to be cruel... just show power.

Thanks, but if you could point out some guilds, I looked through most of them, and, well, either they\'re evil alignment, or they don\'t suit. I guess I might join a guild for a while first, even if it ain\'t what I wanna do, it\'ll give me somewhere to be till I can fully develop mine. Thanks for the idea, even though it isn\'t really new.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHH What\'s with the Mafia Guild? Were they here first or did they just steal my idea? I gott know! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH They can\'t even spell correctly on their site! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHh
lol, no I\'m not planning on starting a Mafia guild, but it just ticks me if someone steals my ideas.

I\'m not sure how the other guilds would react, but if it were my guild I don\'t think I\'d feel great about accepting a member who I felt wasn\'t going to be committed and was just waiting for a chance to create their own, or escape to something better. If you are going to join up somewhere I think you should put your all into it.
It sounds like you\'ve checked out most of the guilds on the list (http://www.gaboby.plus.com/guilds.html) - was there really absolutely nothing that suited you? If that\'s the case then it seems that you should keep working on your own ideas.
You\'re right it is easier to have people to develop ideas with, maybe spend some time in game and get chatting to people, you\'re bound to find some people who like the idea of developing a new guild with you.
Good luck :)
BTW the Mafia Guild were created ages ago, so don\'t wory about them stealing your ideas - they\'re a dead guild right now anyway ;)

Speaking of joining your guild... *motions toward sig* *cough* *cough* ;)

Ahem, maybe you should show your face around our hideout (http://www.gaboby.plus.com/index2.html) someday?
The beer\'s free.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. I looked through all the guilds I could find, and yes, there wasn\'t a single one that clicked with me. You\'re also right about joining the guild. I realized later that it was stupid, not for the reasons that you mentioned, true as they are, but for the simple fact that I don\'t want to join a guild that I don\'t really want to be involved in. Anyway, I\'ve started creating my guild. I\'ll start a new thread in a coupla days announcing it. Oh, do I have to be an official guild with Planeshift to be on your list?

making website and staying for a while should be enough...

Ok, that\'s cool. I\'m a bit discourage right now. I just spent like 2 hours working on this one thing for my site only to find out that even though I thought the server I was using supported it, it didn\'t. I guess that\'s what I get for meddling with php. Argh!
