That image would be perfect, assuming that's what the Crimson Blades want.
I've also decided to change the linkshell navigation menu. Instead of just listing them all in alphabetical order, you'll have the option to filter the linkshell lists based on style of RP. So you can either click an option to view all linkshells in alphabetical order or filter them based on light, casual, moderate, or heavy. Linkshells who classify themselves as "light-casual," "casual-moderate," or "moderate-heavy" will be placed in the lesser of the two classifications unless requested otherwise. Thus, a "light-casual" linkshell will be classified as a "light" RP shell.

We are good with that image and the filter system is a good idea.

Want me to change the coloring on it from boring ol' black and white?

As usual I'm going to be critical for the sake of constructivism.
I think, even categorizing by RP style, you're going to potentially be looking at some very long lists. What might be entirely too technical but really cool would be to have linkpearls that form a circle, which spins to select. Not only would this look really cool, but all linkshells would be "equals" from the selection menu. Just a thought. A probably much simpler solution would be to make columns and rows rather than a single column.
Personally I don't think it's necessary to make a distinction between light and casual, nevermind moderate-heavy and such. They're subtle nuances, and I think most guilds will be fine if they have to choose between casual, intermediate, and serious business.
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Siben - 07-13-2010
the Link Pearl navigation is doable with some action scripting, but having not touched flash in 3 years I couldn't tell you how to go about it without delving back into actionscript
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Satrina - 07-13-2010
Ahhh the joys of actionscript
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Siben - 07-13-2010
eh, it honestly wouldn't be that bad.
it's just too late and night and I'm too out of practice to bother coming up with the formulas to shift the pearls left and right, scale them, and time the animation. ><

I'd rather stay away from using any flash elements, as that makes it difficult for me to update and whatnot. Plus a lot of users have trouble viewing flash related content properly.

There's actually a pretty big distinction between each. Makes a world of difference to a lot of RPers. Plus, we already voted the system into effect some time ago and it would need to go through another discussion and vote for any changes.
I created a rough draft of the selection menu on the test site. Please ignore the bookmark tabs on the side >.>. As a test site, it's not always pretty xD.
Edit: link removed due to completion of final linkshell section.

I like!
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Kylin - 07-14-2010
I dulled the icons a bit to better match the background.
You may now click on the "all" category to view the next layer there. The font size of the actual guild names will be larger in the final version and the style may change as well.
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Shamadconde - 07-14-2010
I still like. What is the scroll bar for?
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Kylin - 07-14-2010
What scroll bar? Darn you people and your outdated web browsers!
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Shamadconde - 07-14-2010
The one that moves the word linkshell.
Re: Linkshell Section Feedback - Hiname - 07-14-2010
