I'm a bit late in getting in on this discussion, but everything looks good so far. Keeping the decision making power in the hands of the event organizers is definitely the only way to go. As far as intervening between guilds goes, I don't think it would really be possible to do more than encourage both sides to just drop whatever issue they had with each other by closing any topics they used to argue on our forums. If they continue to stir up trouble between each other on their own sites and in-game, there's not much we can do about that. At least, nothing I can see that would be effective. If they're that adamant about keeping their grudge going, I doubt they will care whether or not we allow them to use our forums, since they'll quite likely just end up associating us with whoever they're fighting anyway. We can still of course offer additional services, and just the fact that we made an attempt to peacefully settle the matter is important by itself, regardless of the outcome.
About Castiel's proposal; I'm wondering exactly what being the "liaison between the roleplay community and the general public" would entail? I'm not sure if it would be best to claim that we speak for the entire community on any issue. If a situation were to ever arise where such a function was necessary, it might be better to decide how to proceed at the time when it presents itself. Perhaps I'm just reading the passage incorrectly though, and if so I apologize. Also, is the idea of communicating with SE itself hypothetical, or are there plans being made to attempt to contact them? I think we're all familiar with SE's track record when it comes to communicating with the fanbase, so I'll assume that passage was added just for the sake of completeness.
As far as any revisions go, rewording it a bit to read less like a formal document and more like what it is, just a statement of intentions by an informal group of individuals with similar interests, might be worth considering. Like Tyriont said, the tone and style of the language used can make a huge amount of difference in how the massage might be perceived.
