Okay people - I've added some new logo's/banner - all the other have been deleted and I'm to lazy to edit all the posts

But here are some suggestions:
(I like botb-2+ botb-3 best myself)

I will look at them this evening.

Well, All I want in this endevour is a chance to defend Guild honour. Possible a Captain of gaurd or something like that. Just give me the chance. Trust me, in games like this, I am quite insane in battle, and it pays off.

I've though of some possible names for the ranks - what do you think?

Warrior Wing(Division/branch or something) – consisting of fighters + kits and Fallen Paladins/Rangers
Warlord of the “Blades of The Banshee”
Warrior in the “Blades of The Banshee”

Rouge Wing – consisting of thieves kits and (bards??) + kits
Shadow Master of the “Blades of The Banshee”
Thief, Bard in the “Blades of The Banshee”

Nature Wing – druids and rangers + kits.
Great Druid/Grand Ranger of the “Blades of The Banshee”
Druid, Ranger in the “Blades of The Banshee”

Divine Wing – clerics and paladins + kits.
Chosen Priest/Chosen Paladin of the “Blades of The Banshee”
Cleric of <deity>, Paladin (of <deity> (if wanted)) in the “Blades of The Banshee”

Magi Wing – mages, sorcerers.
High Wizard of the “Blade of The Banshee”
Mage, Sorcerer in the “Blade of The Banshee”

We could also, when the guild is up and running, put more ranks into each wing.

I vote for black!

I think that there should be this for the divisions:

Warriors
Rogues
Nature People
Godly People
Magi

That would mean lumping together people with a totally different outlook... Ethos and Alignment do not necessarily match between two members of the same class. There might be Fighters that worship Pelor the Sun God, Bards that do not enjoy music much (have one of those in my PnP group; fancies himself something of a warrior-mage), and, most importantly, Clerics of opposing deities. You wouldn't want to put those in the same room, would you?

Also, there are different types of players. Powergamers and Roleplayers don't always mix that well.

Not that there isn't merit to the idea, mind you. People will probably hang out with their adventuring party for the most time, so having a place to "get away from it all" (such as a guild library, training ground or temple) would be the ideal place to meet others and roleplay.

If the die-hards make the Guild an interesting and welcoming place, I'm sure the rest will sort itself out.

If there is a dual class or multi-class in the case of the dual-class you must stick with your first choice of class. Multi-class may pick one of the classes that they are.

There are no duals in D&D3, nor multis in the way you know them from AD&D. Instead, each time you gain a level, you get to choose that level's class. With some minor restrictions, you can choose any class you like. I expect about 50% of players to choose at least 2 classes.

What do people think? The council would vote on things and report the decisions to the Lieutenant, the Lieutenant would then distribute the information through the guild.

Obviously I think it's a great idea.

Guild leadership should not be taken lightly, though. If it looks like fun, you're probably doing it wrong.

A good guildmaster has to be both a diplomat and a strategist, both a Powergamer and a Roleplayer, placing the interests of his (or her) guild above everything else. I wouldn't want such a position...

I like number 4.

Dark yet shiny. Could it be a one-liner? Maybe we could work a sword or something in there, whith the text engraved in the blade?

@Xyx: regarding wings in the guild: just because people belong in the same wing, dosen't mean that they go on adventure together - what we must strive after when adventuring is to be able to put together a diverse band of adventure - so I don't think ethos would be a problem (maybe

) - plus the thing that binds us all is GB

Regarding the logo/banner, I could very well make it a one line banner - that would cause the sparkles to be very similar though, since I'm using the computer to animate the logo. As for putting swords in - I'm all for trying, but I can't draw a sword, so others must make such a banner/logo.

I've slowly started building a website - and for now it will be located at [url="http://www.svelmoe.dk/botb"]www.svelmoe.dk/botb[/url] - wich will redirect you into [url="http://www.svelmoe.dk/blade/index.htm"]www.svelmoe.dk/blade/index.htm[/url] - you decide wich page you want to use.
There is some tweaks I have to work out with my personal website, such as the "favicon" (the little icon in your favorite list) where I for my personal website use a smiley, but that doesen't go well with our guild

That is all from me for now - if you look at the page, just remember it is under construction.

There are no kits on 3rd.
Only pestige classes but they are not to be included in the game, at least is what is being sayed.

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 12:55 pm

This is good, people are coming up with good ideas. I think instead of having just one guildmaster we should stick with a council that decides the decisions that need to be made. A vote, I think is the right way to go.

I just want to command a small portian of the forces, namely the fighters. You guys have have a discussion about Guild leader. Also, we should have person who runs it all, then the five individual leaders. From there, we can seperate the members into Captains's, Liuetenants's, and troops. The Captain would be the next under the Warlord for instance, then the Liuetenant, then troops. I want to be the captain, as I'd rather not deal with the actually running of the Guild.

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 2:03 pm

See this is the thing, I want to play not just organise. I would be glad to organise stuff but I don't think one person should be the head of it all. It needs all 5 people to make a fair desicion. With 5 people we get a majority and we can all make fair decisions. What are people's opinions on having a squadron commander who mingles with the troops like Aegis says.

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 2:18 pm

I like the idea of a council that makes decisions best. But I still think we should have a "Guildmaster" even though the person is just a "front-figure" without any power.
(or maybe we could make it a Council of Six with 5 "wing-leaders" and one guild-master, with the Guildmaster with 2 votes in case of a tie)

But I like the idea of a Council of Five - and desisions being made in this council by a simple majority.

But maybe we should figure out which classes people are going to play so we can get organised.

As for fearing to much "organisation" will interefeer with playing - well, there is still about six months to get the organisation to function - and one it is up and running, phasing in new people/recruits(

) should be simple.

What did people think of my "wing-leader" names?

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 2:24 pm

I like the new wing names. Ok this is bound to be a hard question but who do people think should lead the wings?

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 2:37 pm

I wouldn't mind having something to do with the magical part

But it isn't anything I'm dying to get

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 3:08 pm

Ok people put down want your probable class will be and then we can vote for people.

Xandax · Post by **Xandax** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 3:11 pm

Uhh - popular contest - I like them, well actually I don't I always loose.

Well as things stand now - I'll be playing a CN Mage - so I'm up for wing-commander (

) of the magi-wing.

Aegis · Post by **Aegis** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 3:11 pm

Heh... Command... I like command....

I think it should be a vote, so here starts the tally.

Warlord: 1 for me

Shadow Master: Weasel (Causes he's so devious

)

Great Druid/Grand Ranger: whoever wants it.

Chosen Priest/Chosen Paladin: Nippy

High Wizard: Xandax

That may be - but I think he wants to play a paladin

Nippy · Post by **Nippy** » Mon Jul 30, 2001 3:35 pm

I imagine Weasel wants to be the Chosen Paladin but I hate playing rangers, I dunno I'll do whatever people want to vote me in for. (I like fighters btw!)
