// The following is all OOC... Open question for the HG community... do we want to work at making the Giant Army an actual guild-type of organization, or leave it as a loose RP entity only? If we want to go for the former, perhaps we should meet IG, or, if we can't get everyone together at the same time, via LORE, and discuss how we'd want to go about it. Some ideas to consider (all are "strawmen" for discussion, so feel free to tear any idea to shreads or offer a completely different approach): <UL>Guild hall -- do we want to save/raise money to buy and remodel a "Giant Army Barracks/Armory" as a meeting place and a weapons/armor locker? And if so, where should it be?
Colors/symbol -- an army has uniforms... maybe we should choose a pair of colors (major/minor) that would make GA members stand out (even more so than usual). Armors or robes worn for official activities (i.e., battles and patrols ) should use the color scheme (Clerics/Paladins excepted if their Deity has a strong preference); shields and such can retain personal choices for colors and/or symbols. I don't know if this is possible, but maybe also choose a symbol for GA flags/banners?
Equipment -- referring back to the "Armory" concept, part of the guild hall would be a storage area where armors, weapons, etc., can be stockpiled for use by other GA members. Army members would be allowed to take as needed, but items must be returned when no longer needed, not sold or bartered without permission. Excess inventory can be sold (at the approval of the guild leadership) as a fundraiser to buy other equipment, expand the guild hall, or maybe even buy additional "branch offices" in other locations. Or extra inventory could also be donated to any type of war or relief effort. Items in the armory should *NOT* be used for "fetch quests" like Lt. Jarsen's.
Contributions -- army members should be expected to pool resources for the benefit of the army (in a way that doesn't overly limit the members' own wealth accumulation). This would mean donating armors, weapons, and such, found or made, or even raw materials so that crafters in the army can make needed items. (And, oh yes, Ales are *ALWAYS* needed items.) On official activities, a share of any loot recovered should go to the army's treasury.
Organization/Rules -- develop an organizational structure and rules for membership and conduct.
LORE -- if all goes well in forming a guild, maybe petition to get a dedicated board in the forums?[/list]Naturally, of course, I post all of this almost immediately before going away for a week. (But I'll still be around for the next couple of days.) It's also be interesting, and possibly quite funny, to see how a bunch of dumb half-giants manage to do any of this in character.

You might want to consider my PC's note. It might give you a headstart on all of this if you wish to be part of something larger. See Pig ICly for more info.
