Parallo was merely remarking on my very low end skill point requirement suggestion. He was saying that the amount I said was rather weak for a guild of paladins.

Actually this isn't the first time Parallo comes off as offensive. I just learned that you have to take what he says with a grain of salt to get what he actually means.

As for the guild. Well... Its not at all bad. You'll forgive me if I'm being weary of the word paladin. I mean I've seen so many people not even try to RP them out in a PS setting. Wish you luck in overcoming my skepticism.

But one thing that makes me optimistic about this is the ranking system. It's actually a very good RP opportunity to make friends when grinding. People just need to stop seeing it as OOC. Unless it is completely OOC for your character. In which case you shouldn't do it.
So Donari's comments on this matter are quite pointless and mall informed.

The guild is up, and things HAVE changed, but I don't see a point in fixing them here, its pointless. podguild.myfanforum.org, if you wanna join, go there, other than that, I am done updating here.

Hey, I can't be blamed when people misread my posts. Shame you don't want to share. Good luck.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

And now i am against Joale on the matter of being oversensitive. I mean come on. Its the internet. People missread me when I'm being sarcastic all the time when i chat. It happens. And now you know Parallo didn't mean anything but honest criticism like he always does so why get all annoyed about it.
Besides if this little was enough to make you blow up then you really need start trying to be more patient.


Incidentally if Joale were to not like me for this post it would be completely fine since it was more of a personal attack on her then anything realy relative to the thread.

Heh, Joale I talked to you ingame as one of my alts Demoik I believe. I'm not going to comment on anything in the thread, just the guild how I saw it ingame. Perhaps you could give me the answers I was trying to bash out of you before you left  :P

After reading over the thread you talk about not wanting to serve gods. When I pointed out the whole Paladin=holy follower thing you retored with a different version of the words meaning. Yet some of your rankings include words such as "Divine'. Divinities are another inference towards Gods and unless you are claiming to be gods(which might be interesting...) I see no reason why an reference to gods would exist.

My second question was about how you gain ranking. I can not tell you how to run your guild but I would offer some advice in my opinion. Don't just use leveling, use roleplay as well. The reason why is you only require that someone know how to roleplay but your not really mandaiting or regulating the kind of 'characters' you get. You allow them to raise rank for level, not because they display leadership or any qualities that show that they deserve power.

Going along with that last point I made, give every rank meaning. The way you've set it up shows them raising ranks like they raise levels. With each rank you get more power over the lower members but no rank has specific jobs or goals. If you wanted to this guild could have a total of 3 ranks. Rookie (no levels done), Crusader (Finished leveling), Divine Crusader(You). None of the other ranks have any real meaning or 'substance.' Give them specific goals that help the guild reach its own goals.

Heya Calak here

     duraza your imput is valuable and being that making a guild is a tough prosess i thank you for it.... as joale said the guild is made and things are changing  just to confirm.... no we are not gods {so much as i would like lol} we are beings of regular oragin..... the title devine in *my* expearence dosent always have anything to do with gods and coud meen just great  eg "that food was devine" after a rilly good meal and as for the ranks i am not shure thay are going to be changed any time soon..... but again thanks for the imput

     being 2nd in command and a lover of rollplay myself i plan to enforce such things after the first rank is passed {as in say have 3 *successful rollplays with a high ranking member in your time as paladin aprentace) that number goes up and eventualy involves more people then just a high ranking guild member and to a point where you host a guild event or somthing like that 

     and as for your 3rd point yes i agree but nothing in guild is set in stone at this time

In the context of paladins the word devine is horribly misleading.

Well perhaps the fact for that is that the realization of divinity or a god or what you may call it is broken up into two pieces. One that follows with order and one that follows with chaos. Thus we know the name of a deity therefore the M is capitalized. To represent naming it. Then i guess divine would refer in this case to orderly or sane. Then leading to the word Destiny because they feel destined to follow their deity which is <Insert negative for Madness here>.

Just a theory though.

Even with that food example, divine is referring to gods, meaning 'godlike' or perhaps 'fit for a god'
