"Wanna sell drugs to illegal minors? No problem, the Champions are for you! Wanna shoot shit up with the most powerful weaponry available? No problem, the Champions are for you! Wanna blow things up with your mind? No problem, the Champions are for you!

Whatever you're looking for, whether it be intense PvP excitement, soul shattering PvE crusades, or even *GASP* highly refined role playing experiences, no problem! Remember, the Champions of the Force are always for you! You have my word!"

There Eri, there's a quote for ya, heh. Also, to add some work for you Eri, think it would be possible to come up with some skins for the forums themselves? I know we have a few, but I'd like one that's a bit more gray, a little darker, you know? The ones we have now are either really white and bright or just too... brown. lol It'd be nice to see some new stuff. That is, if you don't already have too much work on your hands. Don't wanna be a burden!

I kinda like your "Champions are for you" part but uhhh.. "sell drugs to illegal minors"? loll i get that smugglar kinda thing bro, but a true Champ do not hurt the little ones! :cawe:

Well it's just a suggestion but maybe you could have something like..


"Wanna milk quick cash and be the womens' man? No problem, we'll teach you cuz the Champions are for you! Wanna pump holes into yer enemy with intense weaponaries? No problem, E11 blaster rifles, W-90 concussion rifle, EWHB-12 heavy repeating blaster, you name it we got it, cuz the Champions are for you! Wanna blow things up with your mind or with a "peace" handsign? No problem, it's in our blood, cuz the Champions are for you!"


hahaha. i think i may have sound a little long winded. *Blehh*

lol, I wanted to take it to home right off the bat that CotF is meant to be a mature guild. If you can't handle a simple statement about selling drugs to minors (which of course I think is bad, lol), then obviously, CotF won't be for you. It's a bit of a playback to what the smuggler is. He's not a hero or a good guy, he smuggles illegal things for a living. That is, at least the gist of it, a bad thing to do and a very mature situation.

There's plenty of undertones in my quote that harken back to what the guild is ALL about.

[Caed Lucin]

loll yeah i know what a smugglar is. But being mature and able to handle statement like these are two different things. Cuz you're promoting the guild right now, you can be funny/lame/witty and all but ultimately what you say are still important, and it may form negative impression on others whether you know it or not. Well whatever it is, it's just a fun discussion and nothing else, i meant no harm. hahaa.

I understand, it's all good. The way I see it, you are looking for more of a "family-friendly" type of look, even though I know that's not the word you're looking for. There's nothing wrong with that at all. We want to draw in as many people as possible. I, on the other hand, wanna play up the mature aspect of the guild as much as possible. I get in your face immediately with the first sentence. If you're not overly shocked when you see what I have to say, then CotF will work out, at least that's how I see it in my mind.

If you like, Caed, make a quote of your own that works as my opposite, sort of a nicer quote that still embodies what we are. Because, let's face it, the Champs swear, they say some unsavory things that most people may not, we talk about whatever, but at the end of the day, we still are part of the Republic, we've saved the galaxy (even if some of our champions are a little "evil" in how they go about it), and we are still indeed Champions. In RP, we might be a little more noble and not so in-your-face, but as a Guild, that's what we are. We're serious, yet we have fun; we talk about mature topics, that's why the age limit is high. I personally like my quote because it will, or at least hopefully should, attract people that are fairly mature and won't really care about a few words. That's just my thoughts on it all.

But, it doesn't really matter what we think in the end, lol. Eri puts those quotes up if he wants to, not us! haha

[Caed Lucin]

Hahaha. relax, i'm not shocked at yer first sentence, just thought it could sound a little... well i couldn't come up with a better word, "Family-friendly" loll. But it's all good! And yeah, i too swear and cuss a lot, so what the heck!

[Requiem]

lol, Most of that wasn't directed specifically at you, haha. I just write a lot. I was sort of referring to a non-existent member-to-be, really, someone who would stumble upon CotF and find my quote. If that specific person has a problem with us, or namely my quote, then figuratively, they wouldn't necessarily work with us, lol.

Like I said, I write a lot. It's just how it is, lol.

awesome looking new website guys. good work!

[Requiem]

Just wanted to come in here and say how great everything looks for the site. Just went and checked it all out again and it looks great. Good job on the ranks, Eri! Very nice and the color fading you added to everything really look nice.

On the other hand, I have a problem with some things. Everything looks good and fine, but some of the quotes you have aren't edited correctly (misspelled words, i's not being Capitalized properly, etc.), and the description of what we are looking for is off. Here's what we have on the site:

"Once your application is approved and you are accepted into the guild as a Trial Member - you will then begin a two week trial period; wherein you are required to post both actively as well as constructively(!) You are also required to attend at least ONE Guild Meet n’ Greet. If you fail to do either of these two, your application will be denied - and you will have to reapply. Thank you for your interest in the guild - and good luck!"

So, that's what we have posted verbatim. Now, there's a few problems with it, grammatically. It tells us everything we need to know, but some glaring mistakes are there to mess with the reader. Of course it's not intentional, but I just figured I would point it out and hopefully ask to have it fixed. There's just too many breaks in the speech and the grammar of it is off... here's an edited version of it, one that I feel is a bit better and doesn't have such glaring mistakes in it.

"Once your application is approved, you will begin your two week trial period as a Trial Member wherein you are required to post both actively as well as constructively. You are also required to attend at least ONE Guild Meet n’ Greet. If you fail to meet either of these two simple requirements, your application will be denied and you will have to reapply. Thank you for your interest in the guild. Good luck!"

It's all just a little less messy, imo. Figured I'd mention the only problems I saw, really.
