Perhaps it would be a nice idea to do this in the \'theme\' of the government of the game as explained here.

It is my opinion that the Yliakum government and the inter-guild council should be seperate.  The octarchs etc. have power over only Yliakum, and although other cities will surely have governments we need a united guild organization.  

Annah, I just have to say that you read my mind.  I have been thinking of this for about a week.  Good job!  And great ideas everyone else!   :D

I think that every guild of sufficient size should be permitted to have membership.  And yes, there should be a few permanent members.  Here is what comes to mind atm:

Mirth, Black Order, Arcane Order, CoL, LW, Explorers and possibly Defenders.  Sorry if I missed any big guilds.  :P

Without an organization of this sort PS will dissolve into chaos before long.  If guilds have Mutual Protection Pacts then a simple skirmish could trigger a world war.  (Not that that wouldnt be cool.)

I totally agree with you, all Guilds with sufficient members should be allowed, but like Half_Pint said some Guilds should be in permanent. Then there\'s little chance things will go wrong cause those Guilds will be like a kind of Supervisors.

A world war wouldn\'t be planeshift ;)

The United Guilds is a great idea Annah.
Anywho, all guilds should have a seat in the lower group.
10-15 of the bigger guilds would be voted in to the upper group.
The UG could help new guilds, send out peacekeepers, aid those truamatized by randomish organized acts of n00bishness, and etc...

Of course we will still have to figure out which guild is France, what guild is the UK and what guild is the US. :P

Btw, thx for including us Half Pint :)

Edit: Naturally Seperot would work for the guild with the biggest army (USA)

The key to manipulative bargaining is to ask for something twice as big as what you want, then smile and nod when you are talked down to your original wish. You are still young, my apprentice, and have much to learn in the ways of the force. -UtM

I\'d like to say that Mirth would be proud to be a part of this organization.  

I propose that we set up a forum for the UG, because it will take a lot of discussion to get this off the ground.   8)   I can create one on the Mirth forums page if you want.  

I also propose that one member of each guild be selected as ambassabor to the UG.  These people can then lay down the framework for the organization.  

Maybe I\'m being hasty but it would be great to get this started before fighting comes out in CB.   :P

Yes, will we need a forum.
LW members reading this, I propose myself or grakrim to be the ambassador to UG.

I am not sure if our guild is large enough yet, but we are growing at a rather fast rate...

But including Mercenaries as a political power maybe an odd idea, even once/if we do represent a larger number of players. I am not sure how involved in peace talks we would be, let?s face it, for us Mercenaries guild wars mean business...

But as a player, I love the idea... and I would at least like for our guild to be represented. Even if we mostly push for war and are quite corrupt insofar as our vote may be bought like any of our other services?

Certain warlike countries are in the UN.  I dont see why warlike guilds shouldnt be in the UG.

hehe no no no!  have none of you ever done \'model UN\' simulations?  It\'s really good for your roleplaying skills... anyways... remember when you are roleplaying the Mercenary guild trying to join this thing you don\'t say that you are at the core of all the problem sin the world and are happily egging them on! no!  you point out that you are well versed in \'mediating\' conflicts and would be happy to help out in any way possible during future conflicts... provided the proper coucil funding for transportation etc etc :)

about a \'Council Army\' -> this should be done like in the real UN where members volunteer forces for the common good in situations that they want to help out in.  There is no actual \'Council\' force since it only relies on the means of it\'s members.

Well, it seems that we need forums.  I have set up a new forum on the Mirth forums site:  http://members.lycos.co.uk/mirthps/Community/

Anyone may post in the Everyone Welcome board, but only guild ambassadors will have access to the Ambassadors board.  Ambassadors who create an account will be given permissions to the Ambassadors board within 24 hours.  

I ask that the leader of each guild posts in the UG forums who their guild ambassador is.  

This forum is only temporary (until we get a UG web site)
