Neverwinter Guild Council - RP Community
I am intereted in formulating an independent Role Playing Community with serious focus on character, storyline and faction interaction. To begin developing an RP community we must have soild leadership. The first step is to test the water to see what players are interested as Story Telling, Faction Leadership and players.
Story Tellers: These are the Foundry area designers and quest developers as well as faction referees. These players safeguard the quality of Roleplaying in the community.
Faction Leaders: It is the goal to develop a verity of different type of guilds that all interact and operate with in the city of Neverwinter. For this we will need players and characters looking to designe factions with specififc goals to atain in the city of Neverwinter. We want City Watch, Noble Families, Thieves Guild, Holy Orders, Merseneries, Wizard Towers, Spy Guilds and more!
The Players: These if course are the end all be all drivers of the story lines that we will forage. Players can join a faction or interact in-between factions as independent characters playing on the oppertuninites that present them selves!
As it becomes more clear what options Neverwinter Nights offers us in the way of Role Playing Tools. We will continually refine this concept to our needs. For those interested continually check back to this post as we will be completing a Community Forum and creating a NWN Community Channel on Crypticspace.com (for XMPP, Champion and Star Trek Online Members)

Thank you for the offer but I must decline.
Interesting... someone offers a spot for ANY guild to build their OWN forums, with their OWN control, and you LadyHonda immediately state that you own the idea, and wish to own THEIR content?
Geesh, the game is not even released yet, and you want to control all the guilds yourself?
What hubris.
That's not what was stated. She was respectfully declining an offer of service, stating her wishes on how she thinks things should be.
And remember this is her thread. Let's be more mature around these guild forums and respect other people and their goals, dreams, and wishes.
Did you actually bother to read what she posted?
"We'll not be using anyone else service that I don't have direct control over."
She explicitly stated that she wanted direct control.
Enough said?
Enough said?
As far as my limited knowledge of the language of Shakespeare goes, LadyHonda declares herself leader of a "Neverwinter Guild Council - RP Community" project to which people can join, which includes factions (of that "Neverwinter Guild Council - RP Community") for players to join and take part of. As such leader, she wants to use only systems that allow her to have direct control of it (no third party dependency).
Which sounds like (saving the distances on the topics) if I said: "Hey, I'm going to do the 'Neverwinter Song' fansite about this game and you can join.". I can rely on others or I can decide to rely on myself but being my project, I have that privilege.
So... no idea of what is supposed to be the problem.
Sorry for the off-topic.
Simple.
Totalitarian Dictatorships vs democratic, ruled by people instead.
Winterhawk offered a place for ANY guild, with ANY ideas to have their OWN control over their own forums. These guilds would have their own administration controls within their own guild but would exclude them from controlling OTHER guilds. This could have included any guild that Lady Honda chose to create.
Her idea is that any guild will be under her direct control. Giving up their own control of ideas, pathways, designs, forums, and membership etc to the dictator. Meaning that any guild that chose to do something different than HER idea would be squashed, kicked out, locked out, whatever.
Vastly different ideas.
Winterhawk is the one out of line here. And sorry, but you are being out of line here too.
Actually what she stated is that she is starting a Faction called NGC
A faction is her GUILD that is comprised of many smaller knit "guilds"
that she would like to lead. Having a small group of different guilds of different goals. This does not dictate she wants to control all guilds lol.. Sheesh..
A guild in her "NCG" would follow the rules of that guild, whereas if it was all one guild, there would be no direction and a general ruleset and one with no direction.
Factions are the future. Any true multiplayer game designer should learn that factions are key to PvP success. Most developers have not yet.
WinterHawk was rude for posting a recruitment thread on anothers recruitment thread. I was polite told him that his offer didn't coincide with my plans. I gave him an explanation so he didnt see me as blowing him off (even though I felt his initial post was rude.) but reguardless he went his way no harm done.
Your entitled to your opinions about how I intend to make an Neverwinter Guild Council of role playing guilds. If of course you don't like it you can keep it moving. Your excess flaming on my thread is unwanted and out of line. How I choose to make my group is really none of your business and to continue to make it such is a display of utter immaturity.
I'll thank you now for understanding. I'll also remind you that a continuing this argument will be considered as a form of slander and an attempt to devalue my recruiting thread with unessercry drama that might turn away potential members. If this is the case I'll be reporting this instance.
Thank You for your opinions even if they are grossly misinterpeted.
Nowhere did Winterhawk state that he as recruiting for a guild. Nowhere did he attack you.
What he DID offer was a location for ANY guild to build their own forums. (free of charge I must add) Forums which any individual guild could control their own topics, sub forums, etc... something you really should have jumped at, since you can not do that here. You will be forced to purchase your own website to have the sort of control you wish to attain unless you can find someone else willing to let you create your own sub-forums... which is exactly what was offered. No one was attempting to "steal" your "recruits" or even your prospective new guilds.
You responded almost immediately with negative comments regarding a free offer to HELP YOU achieve your goals. That just goes to show how ignorant your assumptions are and how ridiculous you are acting.
You can't build a set of sub-forums here. That option is not available. The best you can attain here is a single thread at a time. Not even private, but a full public thread. You can't have "hidden" discussions about guild plans, etc. You can't control who reads the thread or who has access to that thread. You can't build upon multiple topics at a time, you are stuck with the single thread, or even a few separate threads that will be entirely lost in the total threads within these very limited forums.
What you were offered was a place where you COULD build your idea, complete with sub forum control, membership control, and even private thread control. You replied by stating that you wanted full control of your own.. except that is exactly what was offered!?!
So, where are you going to build upon your idea? Can't do it here after all, you don't have that sort of control.
No one was attempting to take over your thread, no one was attempting to take over your idea, what was offered was a place where you COULD actually accomplish that idea.
Geeze folks, you are all being idiots on this. That is not a personal attack by the way, just an observation of the facts.
You can hate me as much as you please, doesn't matter to me. But you should seriously consider taking your blinders off and looking around a bit, before attacking someone that was offering to help you!
Winterhawk, I respect you for bowing out when your offer was declined.
Bannor, it would be my understanding from what I've read that LadyHonda would be more comfortable controlling the technical aspects of any forum or website construction that might have to be done to accomplish her goals.
As this is my first post here, I'll exempt myself from your indictment of idiocy, but where I come from that is a personal insult and might require an apology to set things right.
LadyHonda, it is easy to discern that you have attempted to deal reasonably and fairly in your responses (at least to me) and, if anything, the stature of your thread has been increased in the process. It is often through conflict that the true nature of a personality is revealed.
