Please read - About Argyle board and BoTB.

Seeing as our numbers on the Argylian boards increase I'd like to make some points out:

We are not know as an organisation to the general population on the Argyle board.
Only the(some?) DMs over there know of us.
That means there should be no talk of BoTB or mention of knowlegde of each other from this board over there.

The reason: we are permitted to start a guild in-game when we reach high enough level. And our guild would/could be extrememly powerful (especially due to numbers), and if other guilds found out about this, before we could form this guild it would be extremely hard to get it up and running because some guilds would properly be threathen by us, and work against us (In-game of course).

So again - it would be best if nobody over there found out about Blades of The Banshee before we have created the guild in-game.
No talk of BoTB on Argyle.

Of course all of this is IMO, but also based on some mails, and threads where we have discussed this as the best course of action

agree, no one will know of our little syndicate......untill it is too late http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/...dvv/eplus2.gif

No-one there, except the DMs, has any roleplaying-based need whatsoever to know about it...

I will, of course, not frantically try to hide the fact that I will be adventuring with a group of "Real Life" friends. Not a very big spoiler, if you ask me.

Well said, however I do have a suspicion that we are not the only "secret" guild.

No doubt. Anyone checking on Argyle this much time in advance will either be part of a guild looking for a place to go (like us), or will probably find one before NwN finally arrives.

There are NwN guilds that were started in 1998 or so...

Yeah, yeah. So I screwed up, alright?

Rhino PMed me and asked if I wanted the post removed. I relied yes.

All I did was ask one of the guild members (under the name "Garrett") if he was "BOTB". I am the guiltly one. Please don't burn me.

@Gaxx: I saw it, but it was not so bad, and this one is thread is not directed at you, but our numbers (currently 45) have grown, and therefore I felt it neasecary to point out that we don't exist untill we can create/meet ingame

But we can use this board to identify each other "over there" after what I've seen most of our people use either their ingame name

Just point something out - I will get flamed for this

- there are so many lurkers on this site, how do we know that none of them belong to a argyle guild?
And that we are no longer a secret!

Xandax · #10 (**permalink**) 10-12-2001, 06:55 AM

We don't

But I find the possiblity slim (hopefully).

But there will properly be others with the same idea as us, but I doubt that they have our numbers - of course it is to early to talk about numbers for us, much will properly change when NwN comes out, and there the numbers can go way up, or go down

(maybe we'll be to big for Argyle if all of us wanna play there

)

I also thought that he was, "our" Garrett and was tempted to reply.

The guild will most likely grow much much larger as time progresses.
Also does argyle have a server which we connect to or how exactly do we connect to the world?

Tamerlane · #13 (**permalink**) 10-12-2001, 07:50 AM

The guys at Argyle have plans for at least three servers on a large internet pipe with around four other cable modems to accomodate the size of the world.

This is basically a summary of one of the FAQ's and you could pretty much assume that they would have their own servers.

A distinct possibility, but not a real problem. If another guild wants to prevent us from establishing the Blades, they're still restricted by their in-game characters' knowledge.

More or less in the same way we're restricted by our in-game character knowledge when trying to get together and found the guild... Oops!

Has anyone bothered to, ehm, gather information on other Argyle guilds? I figure that a simple search of the Web might turn up something.

Wouldn't be very nice, though; we don't want others to spy on us either.

Yep your right there Tamerlane. They are doing this all at their own cost so 'nuff respect to 'em.
