Guild Spotlight: Discussion Thread

[Narure]

It would still be interesting to know what guilds were in the running. It would certainly show the fairness of the spotlight if we could see the diversity of the guilds that were voted for.

Perhpas just showing the top three guilds with the number of votes, rather than listing every single guild that may have gotten a vote.

I agree with that, top three sounds like a good way of announcing the votes.

[Idoru]

From the remarks about non-participation that may well be the whole chart

[Karyuu]

Man, Idoru's right on There was no top 3 this time, so I can't reveal more than one without revealing them all. There isn't going to be any harm, however. Just take a look yourself:

Winning Guild (to be revealed on Sunday) - 6

Imperial Intelligence Agency - 1
Knights of the Crystal - 1
Knowledge Seekers - 1
Nomothetes - 1
Plakkem Hverrjanor - 1
Sheeples - 1
Survivors of Vaern - 1
The Enlightened - 1
The Explorers - 1
The Organization - 1
The Outlaws - 1

Totaling in 17 votes altogether.

This brings up an interesting issue: what if in future rounds no guild gets more than one nomination..? It would be a depressing thing to see, since it would mean really bad participation, but I suppose it'd be good to have some sort of established plan for such. What do you guys think? My first idea is to have the voting closed for any new nominations, post the names of the guilds that have been voted in already, and allow 2-3 days for people who did not vote before to PM in their choices.

[Gharan]

Sheeples - 1

The Enlightened - 1

Both of my guilds got a vote. 

Only 17 votes though? Come on guys 'n' gals writing a quick PM isn't task of the week.

Have the nominated guilds' masters roll off d100 in ancient RP tradition.

LOL, The Legendary 100-sided die! (Not so legendary )



By the way, I am having my guesses about the winner...

--------

I've changed my idea. It should be a 10,000 sided dice, not a "simple" d100

[Idoru]

Nomothetes - 1

Whoooooooooo? (in the style of Marc Riley  )

[EDIT]

I just realised something, now that we know who didnt win, at least 6 people know who did win, because their vote is not listed on that chart. I assume that now their guilds know now, and most likely their friends. So, im feeling left out because I know my vote didnt win, one of you 6, could you please PM me

[Phinehas]

I know who won.

I just felt the need to express that.

[Idoru]

* Idoru mumbles a rude word aimed at Phinehas

Well, I think we all know that it is out of a possible 3 guilds, considering that the 'other one' must have been a random vote and id guess the winners votes were well organised. Maybe im just being my usual cynical self

[Sangwa]

I know who won too. But that's because I can see it, not because I can vote. Because I really can't.

Just wait for the result of this Guild Spotlight and see if you like it. Complaining before you have seen the result is a little distasteful, specially because you have no reasons for it. And I'm sure you'll enjoy reading the interview!

*grins* Start voting right now! And this time warn as much people as you can. Since you don't know which guild has been nominated yet, we will return your vote back in case you've picked it again. So just vote away without worries! Following the rules on the first post of course.

[Narure]

I can see this turning into buskershift where everyone goes around saying "and if you enjoyed this RP please donate a vote for my guild in the guild spotlight." And i didn't vote this time because i really didnt know who to vote for 

[Sangwa]

*grins* That wouldn't be that bad either. Since each guild is voted only one time. So if each guild would start doing events to be voted, it would actually be fun. And each of those guilds would most surely get its place on the spotlight, sooner or later.

I can't see why people would go through all that effort though! It's an interview, it's not like we're handing candy! It's just a fun way of having people getting to know the guilds they take more interest in. Hardly a competition! Or worthy to be competing for .

And that's why it's called "Guild Spotlight" and not "Top 5 Guilds". And that's why there's an interview, and not prizes. The guild with more votes is simply the guild that people want to know better.

So it's simple! Choose a guild you would like to know more about!

Eh? My guess was right after all. "Any Imperial guild except for the Intel Agency"

* lordraleigh wonders if the members of other DE guilds are most of the ones who voted on the guild that got the spotlight

By the way, being in the spotlight(In-character) is not necessarily a good thing(keywords: Really secret guilds)

Anyway... time for IC lobbying and offering tria in exchange for votes to other characters  (BTW a politic system with lobbies would be interesting... $$$)

That wouldn't be that bad either. Since each guild is voted only one time. So if each guild would start doing events to be voted, it would actually be fun. And each of those guilds would most surely get its place on the spotlight, sooner or later.

When will the tribes system be available? August of this year perhaps? Or Sooner(TM)?
It will open space for events. But I don't see this as a competition, still, if there would be in the future an allegiance of 15 guilds with several active members on these forums, wouldn't it be easy for this allegiance to manipulate results for their own benefit?

So it's simple! Choose a guild you would like to know more about!

I would say I am really interested on a "unvoluntary declassification" of IIA "sensitive" files by a disappointed whistleblower In-character

--- But if next guild is Imperial Guard or the Intel, I'm going to suggest to block 2 or more guilds from the same umbrella organization from being in the spotlight in a row, as I think it needs to be diversified.
