Are you sure that you don't want to post it on a guild fansite to increase votes in your favour?
Interesting wording.
Sounds like they may be allowing players to shape the Universe but not ultimately control it.
Something to look forward to anyways.
I'll say it again; NPC chaperones. I'm getting good at this, huh?
Regardless, it sounds interesting and a good fit with the lore. Power? All I asked for was a Tag and instancing preference, but I guess Power is nice too.
Fascinating...
Expect some 'truth' to be extracted regarding the real reasons for the hard push for Guilds.
What, like to inject social content into Power Play and encourage participation in Open. This was discussed in almost every Power Play thread and the last Guild Poll thread. Sounds like a logical move for FD to make.
That is the surface reason, yes. I suspect it wont be enough for some of the hardest 'pushers'.
Agreed.

Don't know why but when I read that I was hearing Black Adder(Black Adder goes forth) in my head saying it.
Do you think the OP's linking of a Guild mechanic, and player owned stations was an error? Do you really think that if FD were to capitulate to this movement that the issue would be settled? Not hardly. The reasonable arguments for guilds is just a facade. Let the mob force any issue, and you embolden it. Look at the attitude change in this thread as the poll started to go in favor of option one.
FD would do well to improve comms and let it go at that. Players want to organize, then organize. Then, this smoke screen will be dispersed and the true agenda would be exposed.

Where do I sign up
, Oh hang on a minute I better check the rules first, well just the one, are we allowed to drink what we want? If I am limited to a guild preferred drink I need to check you are not the "Babycham Boys" or the "Gin Guzzlers" in disguise first .ETA no Cider for me either, got very, very, drunk on it at 16 and never drank it again.

Yeah, there's more I'd say on this but the moderators would rather I stay zipped...+1 Mohrgan.
Is it me or is some of this starting to sound like a witch hunt? just asking.
Do you float?
Social interaction gets thrown about as a reason for Guilds, but it's too vague a term to be thought of as positive or negative. Hanging about on a street corner, intimidating passers-by and turning them away from your territory could be termed "social interaction". Mugging people at knifepoint could be termed "social interaction".
Guilds are all about control, control of players, resources, territory, and ultimately the game itself. Guild chat channels can be used to facilitate everything else (with external tools already available).
FD will either keep guilds strictly under control (annoying a a lot of people) or the game is going to become "EVE cockpit view" (annoying a different lot of people).
A separate guild mode as a compromise will never satisfy a guilds wish to exert control, they'll need victims to get their power fix. I'll bet if we got separate mode's we'd get guild organized wings trying to throw their weight around in open.

Now that's some proper science. I want to know how good Mimas is for sledging into the Hershel crater.
lol, yes?
