Alright, you've touched on most of the major issues, Castiel, and that said, I'd like to respond to them as far as my guild is concerned. (Not speaking for the players - just the structure of my guild in general.) Neutrality and Authority I really, really do not think it should be the RPC's place to intervene within the guilds. For any reason, really. I understand your example about a certain guild touting themselves as the best - and well, that was poor etiquette, but I do not think that such behavior should really result in any authority ousting a role-play guild. There is no doubt that a group will pop up here and there that will annoy some, or indeed, most of the community, but unless this group was actively trying to hurt or destroy multiple guilds in some manner (which would be a failure, I believe,) I can't think of a situation in which the coalition should be powered in which to step in. The Public I think I am going to need some more examples of how The Public feels the RP Community is closed off. I'm not sure I understand. Events and Certain Standards Having read through everyone's examples and ideas, I am more comfortable with this. At least to allow for very generalized guidelines in group events. Structure The (Lost Boys) - new name to come - are already working on an internal structure that will assign one person as a delegate to other organizations. I believe that having that person also be a delegate to the RPC would be a perfect idea.

I think your post hits upon a lot of my concerns, Castiel. Thank you. I know I have been rather quiet up until now, and I didn't wish to cause an uproar, but Leviathan is one of those servers who has had a dominant role-play linkshell for the past six years. While a few other small linkshells popped up here and there, Lost Boys, to the best of my knowledge, was the main role-play venue for those on Leviathan, and because of this, we have been somewhat isolated from dealing with other guilds. I know that I myself, and at least a few other of the Lost Boys members have been wary of sticking our feet too far into this pool. We're a sheltered bunch, I'll admit it myself, and I just wanted to make sure, that like Dogberry mentioned, that the RPC wouldn't attempt to act as a police force over the guilds. My main concern is in the creation of rules when overseeing inter-guild events, and, indeed, in the events themselves. We all have our own ways, and that's what makes us all special and intriguing. Some of the guilds will be champions of justice, while others may follow a more shady and mysterious storyline. When you attempt to draw lines between them, or even try to get them together for an event, things are likely to go awry, especially In Character, if not Out of Character. I'm very wary of the idea of these inter-guild events, but I'm open to hearing more about how they could be managed or put together in a way that would allow for all walks of characters to come together in the same setting.

No preference on color, and thank you for the privilege. You can change my title to moderator if you need to.
