Judging from the variety of opinions in the forums and chat logs, the most divisive aspect to date about the Unofficial Guild of Writers (UGoW) is membership. Below I've recapped what the points of contention are. Let's try to can come to an agreement on these issues.
Requests regarding your posts:
- Please keep in mind the distinction between membership (are you in or not?) verses structure (ranking, experience level, positions, subguilds, etc). Just discuss membership in this topic; the structure topic can be found here.
- Only discuss what is currently possible without Cyan's support - in other words, please leave all MO:UL age creation/tool discussions out of this for now.
EDIT: I've added people's names below the answer they selected. Bold names represent answers they've given to these questions in this topic, while italicized names represent answers given elsewhere (see Sources in next post). If your name appears under the wrong answer, or if you want your name to appear here, please respond with your answers.
