I can\'t believe it, but I agree with Zanzibar on this. It should be roleplayed to the fullest and not discussed here.
Easton and Janner: you two are/were friends. You should not let a roleplay interfere with that friendship. I realize that Easton has put a lot of thought into this and only has good intentions and is now intimately \"involved\" with those ideas/ideals. But Easton must remember, this is a roleplay too and that everyone isn\'t just going to say, \"that Easton, he\'s a real good bloke, where do I signup?\". Even if they personally \"know\" you. We\'re \"acting\" and you must convince them by acting.
Janner, you should realize his attachment and give him a little space to breathe. You (Easton) need to be less critical of Janner for his oppinions as you asked for them. And Janner, please have the \"character Janner\" bring these issues forward in game. Easton has given you an invitation to attend one. Take him up on it. Raise the fuss there. I do agree that from the outside, the SCoY could appear to have some sinister/secretive/elitist look and feel. So roleplay it and don\'t personally attack your friend OOC.
You two have a lot of passion for your ideas and that is commendable. It\'s good to have vision and the guts to attempt to put those ideas into action. But you don\'t have to make this into a real life argument, because it isn\'t. I\'m a little disappointed to have seen Easton finally \"loose it\" with Janner. I\'m sure Easton was/is very hurt and feels personally betrayed by his friend. But, when you get to that point... take a step back and remember, we\'re playing a game.
Even if it turns out to be a huge mistake and failure, it will have been a fun (remember that word?) experience. So let the opposing guilds show up and demand answers... That would be awesome! Vision people, vision!
******************************
On the other side I would like to thank Easton for putting the SCoY together. I think we (the characters of PS) need a council like this. I would also like to thank both Janner and Anfa for bringing to light why guilds with a similar \"mission statement\" as the SCoY may oppose the SCoY. I hadn\'t seen their side before and I didn\'t consider their input before I became an ambassador. Not that it would have changed my mind, but I like to have as much information as possible before making a commitment to something.
I look forward to seeing the outcome of this idea. I do hope the disagreements can be resolved and the SCoY fulfill it\'s mission. But however it goes down, let it do so IN GAME!

EDIT: at Zorbels, this post is OOC and the point of it is that it must be \"rp\'d in game\"
