I hate to defend Munkii (just an expression), but I would like to point out his exact wording for 'Politician"
A Politician - Our representatives in the government, they buy people's votes, bribe local guards, and send threats to opposing parties - although they work separately, they will usually take orders directly from me.
Now, point out to me exactly where is states in there that this person -or a politician for that matter- is an actual member of the government. A politican is simply someone who strives to work within the circle of people that form the government. There are many many politicians who do not hold a seat of power at all. Please get your facts straight before you start jumping down someone's throat.
My facts:
# a leader engaged in civil administration (yes, this would have to be a member of the government)
# a person active in party politics (Nope, no actual government position here)
# a schemer who tries to gain advantage in an organization in sly or underhanded ways (Bingo! We have Munkii's kind of man)
And all you folks who talk about power, quiet yourselves before I go into a rant on how much power you all actually have, including the vaunted DE.
*edit: This game is about having fun,and contributing to the fun of others, not about gaining power. In this, it appears Munkii's goal is greater than that of the other posters in this thread, who seem bent on putting people down. It is not up to you to dictate what guilds can and can't be. If your goal is not the betterment of the roleplay mood of the game, or this thread, shut up or get out.
