All sounds good to me this far

No problems here. I'll try and put tags like this, "*Insane_Maniac-Arbiter" or pass on in the first person shooters that I'm part of the Arbiter order. It sounds too much like halo 2 though. (Mind you that I never played halo 2 but it seems it has a lot to do with it.) something on my user names. It would be nice. But I will try and spread the news our garden is no longer a garden. Good to hear things are getting taken care of.

Honestly, I don't think the Halo connection is a problem.

The "Arbiter" is a character in Halo. "Arbiter" is also a type of ship in Starcraft, a well-known jedi robe in Star Wars Galaxies (to SWG players), an electronics/engineering company, a Chess title, and a word with a real definition. Halo is known, but the connection is shallow because we're just implementing a common word. To my knowledge there is only one Arbiter at a given time in the Halo storyline, not an order containing many Arbiters. We would also have a completely different theme.

While a connection could potentially be made at first glance, it's a lot weaker of a connection to Halo than "SeeD" is to Final Fantasy VIII. Seeing how even "SeeD" hasn't really held us back, I don't think implementing the word "Arbiter" would be an issue.

But I will try and spread the news our garden is no longer a garden.

Gardens (in concept) aren't being removed from our guild. The idea behind them is being consolidated with Factions/Divisions, in that future Divisions won't require a direct link to a specific game. If there's interest you can continue to lead your Garden in the new system, it just won't be grouped like the Gardens currently are.

I'm going to try and make Balamb a place for various games. I'll talk to you on MSN about the details.

To tell the truth, I've never heard "troupe" refer to anything other than a group or actors or dancers.

Maybe that is why it is the most suitable.

Anyway, I personally don't think a change of names will make much difference. I'm also not in the mood for long posts.

That would be awesome, and with the new system you'll probably have an easier time with it than with the Garden system.

So if we were explaining our site to someone outisde it, we could say something like, "Yep, CurvedSpace has a guild called the Arbiter's Order, and in it we have divisions for RuneScape, Guild Wars, and World of Warcraft." Hopefully I've got it right.

And should there be a sort of "main guild forum" for general chat about the guild? The whole category could be called "The Arbiter's Order", and that main discussion forum could be called "Guild Discussion", or something along those lines.
