This debate about language will never get old, will it?
It\'s purely irrational and finds its root mainly in the fear some people have regarding their lack of control over the elements. With a bit of argueing just for the sake of it, from what I see, won\'t you agree with me Annah?
What arguments do we have here?
One of the criteria is understanding French a little bit, even if most of the site has been translated and if talking English in their forums is not frowned upon. So does that make it \"just\" a French guild? Well, it will be a common denominator. As some guilds are \"just\" evil, \"just fighting evil\", and so on. Is that bad? If we follow this kind of logic, every guild will look the same and be as general as possible, to avoid splitting the community.
Does that make sense? Not really. What I see is a guild which allows enough freedom to their members as to their character, but has the desire to help them sharing the same culture (and, but that\'s beside the point, the same beliefs). Isn\'t that the case of the best guilds around? And why is the language a worse criterion? Quite the opposite! To me, it will strengthen their bonds, much more than any artificial ideal.
Will that isolate them? Why would it do so, as long as they use French internally? They do talk English with other people, and from what I\'ve seen so far, it\'s not always worse than your typical Englishman or US citizen.
Will someone be isolated when roleplaying evil/X/Y... very well? I\'m not sure, would you want to talk to a guy like this (IC) if your beliefs were so different as to make any argument worthless? I wouldn\'t. But I\'d gladly do so OOC, if the guy\'s interesting. So, is that really different?
I find it a bit sad that people wouldn\'t discuss deeper and more interesting points of this guild, instead of this superficial, overdone topic. They deserve better, don\'t you think?
