Guild Spotlight: Discussion Thread

[Sangwa]

The spotlight is here for us to see more deeply into guilds we are interested in. Imperial Guilds are very different from each other, so it's normal that even some imperialists will want to vote on them.

Yeah, but wouldn't Imperialists have a pre-disposition to vote for Imperial guilds? I mean, if a Imperial Scholar has a choice between the Intelligence Agency - which very badly wants the spotlight, hypothetically - and some other guild, wouldn't they most likely choose the Agency? (i.e. without giving much thought to any other guild)

I offended that you would think so little of me. I'll vote for the guild that I feel deserves it. If that happens to be an imperial guild, stopping me is tantamount to saying anyone that wants to vote for this imperial guild isn't allowed to vote.

The Dark Empire demands loyalty and allegiance, right? Even to the point that it is one of their rules that you must advertise them in your signature?

Why would that allegiance suddenly disappear completely? Surely you would have some inherent desire to see a part of your organization flourish?
If nothing else, you would at least be more exposed to them than any other guild...

[Parallo]

I'd OOCly like to see guilds that I like flourish. ICly I'm totally loyal.

OOCly you're not loyal at all? Because loyalty is a pre-disposition, whether you're aware of it effecting your decision or not...

[Parallo]

Its not like I'd make huge OOC sacrifices for the Empire but Parallo would IC. Get it?

[Idoru]

Did I misread the 1st post or is there some reason people have to presume this is in character?

[Karyuu]

Hey guys, take a moment to breathe.

Guilds in alliances and guilds under an umbrella organization are allowed to vote for one another. If for example we have a large alliance of a great number of guilds and none of them are allowed to support one another in this spotlight, it might leave them with very little, and with choices they may not actually support.

If you are concerned that all the people in the 2 guilds of DE will vote for their third and their numbers will overcome anyone else, why don't you inspire other people to send their own nominations? I can tell you right now, so far participation is disappointing.

Idoru: This voting itself is OOC. Part of the interview with the winning guild will be IC, and I request character names be sent with nominations for the reasons I stated in one of my previous posts :]

[Parallo]

He assumed that I was loyal to the DE in rl I think. Thats where it came from.

[Easton]

Great idea Karyuu...

Can;t wait to learn about some of the guilds i don't know much about.

Question: When you say "character name", do mean any character, or your main character, or your favourite character, or what?

[Karyuu]

Send a private message:

• to the user “guildspotlight”
• with your nomination
• and your own character name

This is to prevent people from registering extra forum accounts in order to throw in nominations. Creating extra characters is still possible, but as I said: if I see several characters I have never heard of before nominate the same guild and all of their in-game time turns out to be less than an hour, chances are something is up and I will put the nominations on hold to investigate it further.

So I should give you one of my characters I played with for longer than an hour then...?

I said characters I never heard of before
