Just wondering if you have permition from the previous leader of DoD to use the name or if you are just loosly tied to the guild and now using its name becuase it sounded like a nice name. Don't remember seeing you as a member. Now most were inactive so that might not mean much but still this post doesn't sound much like the previous DoD.
I tried to get permission I mailed him a couple of times (E-mail address was in his PS forum profile

) In February I mail every week once, but after a month of no responses I gave up and started working on my own

If he for some reason reappears, I would (If he demands it) unhappily change the name of course

Black Core
Equal names... coincidences sucks
At least the other organization's full name is "Core of the Black Sun" and not "Black Core"... and it isn't a guild as well but a pseudo-organization which engroups two ideas for future guilds.

Now what is the reason behind the fact new members receive the "rebel" title?
How rude, assuming things without asking? and then with your assumptions, say we are not original!?... oke the Guilds name isn't really, but with reason.
We Did NOT took our name for looking at the name of the organization you mentioned, we didn't even know it existsed.
We thought it was fairly easy to see why our council is called the black core. The council of a Guild is (to us) The 'Core' of the guild, without it the guild wouldn't exist (well it could, but then it would be a Dictator guild I think, again I THINK. Before you get more assumptions).
As you might know, if it gets really dark everything looks black. So you can say the Core of darkness is black. Now Black + Core = Black Core. So it's a reference to both our name and the necessity to our Guild.
Then I am curious, Since when is a sun black? and as far as i know there is no Sun in PS, well there is but we as people living in that (

gosh I forot the word) cave like hanging thingie can't see that sun, only the light of it comming through the crystal

As for the rebel part, I think dallara has covert that part.
My old guild... reborn.
Please dont call it reborn if its so different from the original, it may be confuse some people!

That's why i put it in {}, without those you would be even more confused i think you could think it's the old thread or something like that, and if I remember correct, the old name of the old DoD was also in game "The Disciples of Darkness" we are "Disciples of Darkness" , we apologize for the inconveniences we brought and will bring (hopefully not) with choosing this name

but a most things in live you just gotta deal with them, but I do wish you luck with them!
