We're all equal OOC in BoC anyway. And we all aim to have fun with each other. It's not that hard if you can level the difference between role playing and reality.

This could be an 'incognito' type guild - no one knows who's the BoC-player behind the chars of the new guild. Tongue

Aye, but like Jack said, I don't feel like anyone "outranks" me in RL from BoC. Whilst I respect those who have more responsibilities and so on, I still wouldn't be "Yes sir, right away sir" if I met the Baron in the street RL Wink

Yes, we're all equal in RL and OOC and that doesn't cause a problem RPing inequality. But most of us don't know each other all that well outside of our characters in BoC. So it's much easier to roleplay the distance, respect, and authority that BoC demands between the ranks. If we all suddenly play the game together as equals and get used to that and get to know each other's *real* personalities too much, I think it'll make RPing a strict army heirarchy harder, or at least would detract from it.

For some reason, I fear that the purity and strict division between the ranks would be lost if we had another OOC guild; not to mention encouraging people to play on those characters a lot more than their BoC ones. 
I do like the incognito idea though..

The main thing which makes BoC as great as it is, are the rules and clearly stated hierarchy, so everyone knows who's one's supervisor and such. This eases following the rules etc etc.

If such OOC guild will be created, all of us would be equal in their ranks. Adding this to possibility of using every item/skill/spell the game provides, could create some mayhem.

Also the incognito idea has a nice advantage: You won't be able to put your IC/OOC dislikes into the guild and taking sweet revenge. The problem is that most of people well know the OOC chars of certain players, not to mention that many people listed their additional chars on the forums.

I don't see what the problem is.  If you can't continue to RP being a lower rank than someone just cause you get on with them OCC just boils down to poor roleplaying.  From what I've heard several of the BoC guild members have met IRL and I'm sure that hasn't stopped them continuing to play how they do.

I think everyone should put down their weapons and become citizens, free to partake in a comfortable lifestyle featuring such joys as tree chopping, seasonal dances and trade caravans. We could travel to the far corners of the realm delivering nothing more sinister than wine and good cheer. In fact we'd be such friendly compassionate folk that people would refer to us as....

"The most peace loving town in all Britannia."

Take Qom as an example, I couldn't think of a more well adjusted laid back young gentleman, we should all be so lucky. Vive la révolution ! Kiss

This thread has reached the pinnacle of its usefulness. We've established Kas is a hippy. Thread locked.
