[ORGANIZATION]The Dark Empire: Promotional Thread

[ThomPhoenix]

I would like to point out that correct spelling is "Chancellor" and not "Chauncellor".

[zanzibar]

Chauncellor is the middle english spelling.

[ThomPhoenix]

Really?

Chancellor or chancellour (archaic) (Latin: cancellarius), an official title used by most of the peoples whose civilization has arisen directly or indirectly out of the Roman empire.

Pronunciation: 'chan(t)-s(&-)l&r
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English chanceler, from Anglo-French chanceler, from Late Latin cancellarius doorkeeper, secretary, from cancellus

[Middle English chaunceler, from Old French chancelier, from Late Latin cancellrius, doorkeeper, from Latin cancell, bars, latticework. See cancel.]]

So correct spelling is either Chancellor, chancellour, Chanceler or Chaunceler.
Not Chauncellor.

Just nitpicking

[zanzibar]

Just doing a quick search on the internet, I was able to find transcripts of documents using the spelling "Chauncellor".  Perhaps 500 years ago there wasn't only a single spelling.

[ThomPhoenix]

That's probably it, everyone spelled stuff differently a long time ago.
In current spelling Chauncellor doesn't seem to be acceptable, but the DE is not really "current" but Archaic.

But as all the other DE ranks are spelled in a normal way I felt it was strange that Chancellor was spelled archaic.
It was probably just a typo that happened to be correct in Archaic english

I'll shut up now

....

As much as I love the english language, I would rather this thread stayed on topic

So, getting back to that.

The time of organization for the Shadow Force is over, we are now openly recruiting, if you want to learn more, just find me ingame.  I'm usualy busy but I will try to find time.

A small note, before you get accepted into the Shadow Force there will be a time where you are a Disciple.  This means you have to impress me further with your skill and show that you will be loyal to the Shadow Force.

Policy on Steel and Arcane stays the same?

[Nurahk]

Due to the Shadow Forces Unique nature and suspicious, crazy leader, many thing will be different between it and the other three guilds.

I can not say what the Steel and Arcane will be doing though, I imagine they will continue with the aspirant system.

[ThomPhoenix]

But most members are already in Shadow, as I'm told, so why the open recruiting?

[Nurahk]

Hmm, whoever told you that was mistaken.

Most members are undecided.  I have very few Shadows, mainly because I'm picky about who I recruit.

Speaking of which, I should clarify that open recruiting.  What I mean is that anybody can become a Disciple, you won't necesarily be allowed in though.

[ThomPhoenix]

Thanks.

[Sangwa]

My bad on Chancellor. I must have misread it on Chrono Trigger or confused it with Chaunceler. Thanks for finding that for me.

Policy on all forces stays the same.

[Sangwa]

Update.

I have updated the promotional post. Check it out, as it is very different from the last one.
I chose not to post detailed information and instead made it interactive with the site. This way people read the small descriptions and then choose if they want to know more.

[Phinehas]

So, if I understand correctly, you, as chancellor, will not have your own guild within the empire, correct? Your job would be to run the empire as a whole?

[Sangwa]

I will lead the Empire's Superintendency, responsible for supervising the guilds. My job will be to work with all the other guilds and see that interaction between them is present everytime it seems required. I will be also making sure the Empire stays dynamic and that the opinions of the imperialists are all used in its favor. That's why I made the Councils.

We aren't sure if we'll keep the "guild" itself. We will probably make it secret, just to avoid name stealing.
