There is something I have thought about for some time, and would like to toss onto the discussion table, to see if there is any interest in it. IRL I am disabled, and my main contact with people is through groups in places like Yahoo, Skype and here, as well as ingame. I was reading a post on the general discussions about how many people also have their primary communications with others through the game and this forum, and thought it might be the right time to ask this:

I know there are disabled people who play PWI- people who have physical or mental disabilties. And I know it is difficult for them to find guilds that they fit in with, in part because of troubles with communicating accurately what they wish to say. What I am wondering is if there are enough of us- I too am disabled- who would be interested in this, to want to create a guild, so that we could play together, knowing that other players would be more patient each other that most guilds are.

If anyone is interested in this idea, let me know. I have an old guild that I had made, just to see if I could make one,b:chuckle, that could be our guild. Just post here, PM me here or ingame, and lets see what we can build!

    I understand exactly what you mean, but it's not so much as a lack of ability to convey meaning, or feeling, but a lack of understanding by the reciever(s) of a comment. I too know what you go through, as a person with medical issues. I have my own faction, and you are more than welcome to pm me ingame if you would like to merge our factions or be allies :) And the idea behind it is a good one, but most people don't worry too much about the faction itself, but what the faction can do for them, however that is the wrong thought in the game. In my honest opinion anyways.

    This is my first post here, I am new to the game and the forum. This is exactly what I am looking for and I hope this guild does get going.

    OK! sounds like we have some interest here. if you are on today, ping ingame, and we can set you up.

    lets build this into a safe haven for disabled folks who have had trouble in other guilds because of their problems.

    for some, who are autistic, for instance, communication is a rel problemI, for instance, think in pictures, rather than words, so i have to translate what is said to me into what amounts to another language-English words.
    but anyway, yes, i would like to ally our guilds. PM my director, LordDeerskin, on that..he is my expert on such things.

    Im interested in your name,kansasdevil....are you from kansas, or live there?
