Somehow I missed that link the first time I read the reply. I am sorry if we have crossed any boundries with our ignorance. None of us were aware that we needed to be licensed, nor did anyone at any pointe in time mention this to us.

I would like to state, that it was my intention to get input from the DMs, and to make clear guidlines for our organization, before we started calling ourselves a guild. We are not there yet, as we have not finished our planning and development. It is my intention that we roll play, from this moment forward, that we are a group of characters who are organizing to start a crafting guild, and currently have no public image. Would this be acceptable?

I will get this matter resolved just as soon as possible. This is a realy great goupe of characters, it would be very sad if we had to dispand as a unit. We tend to be mostly chaotic, so please be patient as we work out this burocracy thing. I have to write guidlies, get them reviewed by half a dozen people, amend them, review them agian, etc. Every one thinks that being chaotic means more freedom. I think it mees more effort and commitment to ensure that no one is being exluded, and everyone basicly agrees to every desion that is made, every step of the way. Our goal is to share craft skill and cnr's for finished product. You get me 10 ingots of gold, I give you an amulet of wisdom. That kind of thing. The process takes a bit longer then a hiarcle organizaiton. I hear you that we can not roll play this organization until we get aproved. So until this happens, we are just a groupe of friends. I will submit the request just as soon as we can work it out.

I have a couple of questions. Do we need to get aproved before buying a house? As the house would make it easier to say were we are based out of.

Also, I am a bit confused about this chicken in the egg thing. If we are not roll playing as a group, then how can we roll play the organizing that it takes to create a group? Could you give us some more input on what is acceptable behavior for caracters that are starting something new.

It is defiantely my intention to follow all rules, and make sure there is a sytem of accountability. This is another thing that has to be analysed, discussed, written, reviewed, etc...

Also, given the requirements to be a guild leader, I am a bit stumpified. I feel confused and a bit overwealmed. Something beautiful is coming into existance, but can not yet be born. It seems to me that there should be a mechanism for a non hiarcle oranization to exist on Layonara. I feel that I am challenged to roll play Cym the way I want to, and not be in a conflict of some kind. This makes me think that better discussion is needed. I guess we have to wait five months or so to become official anyhow. I think it would be of great benifit to us, if we could have a queston and answer session with a government official, for the purpos of establishing clear boundries and guidlines to follow.
