Dueling Guild

I fail to see why creating an entire guild is necessary for this. You are much better off holding a sort of tournament, or a series of them. Perhaps you need to be refreshed on what a guild is supposed to be?

This isn\'t likely to go well with the community, so I would advise you to rethink this idea. Guilds are supposed to have much more (RP) purpose than this.

It has nothing to do with being friendly or aggressive - the issue concerns a lack of understanding for the purpose of guilds in PlaneShift. Guilds aren\'t supposed to be a more complex version of the /group command. Have you taken a look at any previous guild threads started in this forum?

Also:

guild [also gild] (n.)

         1. An association of persons of the same trade or pursuits, formed to protect mutual interests and maintain standards.
         2. A similar association, as of merchants or artisans, in medieval times.

I believe these definitions are supposed to apply to guilds created in the PlaneShift world. What is the purpose of your guild besides holding dueling tournaments? Why would people want to join? Think in-character. Your very use of the phrase \"noob or elite\" points to a very OOC world.

Guilds need a reason to exist, Noobis. What you have suggested needs no guild organization to work. Dueling tournaments, between more than just two people, are entirely possible already.

Hmm.. I guess you could kind of consider this a Warrior Order or some School of War... But because of the way this idea is presented you likely wont have too much luck finding people, from the forum, for this mostly because of the lack of RP but also because you only focus on one aspect of the game.  But I would say that holding a Tournament is a better idea.. but if you can make it work I guess more power to you.

Then where are your ranks? Your RP history? A website? What\'s your alignment? Whose military are you? Are you for hire to just anyone, or do you have a greater more specific purpose? There is potential to this, but not as originally presented.

Wait a minute, didn\'t you used to be Thorin?

Yeah.. it would be best to erase everything you have in your main post now and add everything you just talk about Noobis.  But, I dont mean to lecture you, try to think out the post before creating a thread.  So you dont have to answer all these questions.  But as soon as you get all your info then we can look it over for you to help with some new ideas or whatever.

Hi, welcome to a public forum.

Criticisms here are common, and necessary. I for one am very keen on keeping the PlaneShift world operating smoothly and as it is supposed to. It doesn\'t matter at all if this is the beginning, Noobis. Actually, it should matter more than anything else, come to think of it - you are trying to attract other players to join your organization, so you better do an excellent job of explaining yourself and catching their eyes. You should have as much information ready as absolutely possible, which you don\'t at the moment. Guilds are supposed to be serious, and need a lot of work to survive, and even more to begin.

So take a deep breath, break your capslock key, and give this more thought.

It\'s quite clear, thank you. I think it\'s clear to everyone else too.

What more can I say? Good luck ;) You\'ll need it, as you\'ve just completely blown apart what you have been trying to gain by making this thread here.

Over and out.

I hate to be blunt, but...
If you don\'t like to role-play... *refrains from very mean statement*

*regains control of snideness and tries to put it nicely*
Don\'t play Planeshift. Planeshift is about role-playing; it was created for this purpose and this is why there are so many role-players. If you don\'t want to role-play, don\'t play.
