I actually like that idea a lot more, and I hadn't thought about that possibility. Having three individual shells would drive us apart, where as having a unified pearl under the guise of the Eorzean Alliance would satisfy both aspects of the Grand Companies - that being the individual companies themselves and the alliance as a whole. If some one wanted to do something with the flames only, they could just make a request for members of the Flames. Vice-versa for Eorzean Alliance related content.
I figure ground rules would be simple.
1. The pearl is to remain in-character. OOC can be done privately if need be.
2. Have appropriate behavior. Kind of a given, general rule that most linkshells have.
3. No spoilers in linkpearl chat. Seeing as it pertains to the companies, which in turn deal with the main story arc we have in-game, if you need to recruit for a GC mission or something, you can just be brief and give further details OOCly to those interested.
4. Respect the chain of command. It is a military organization, and keeping in line with that, I don't think privates would be trash talking the officers and the like. Suppose this "rule" would be subject to interpretation.
If anyone wants to refine those or remove/add to them, go ahead. In the mean time, I've snagged us "The Eorzean Alliance" tag so no one else can randomly grab it.
