[Canas Renvall]

Sorry for the double-post, but I figured you should all be clued in.

December 4th, 2009

Firstly, Beta's getting his tonsils removed and, unfortunately, kinda lost interest in the series (much like you, Bio). Granted, that's about all I got out of him, but he is indeed breathing. biggrin

Secondly, I figured it was a good idea as Thee Stranger said to make a debate forum. If you feel like something's gonna flare up into a big argument/debate, please take it there!

Thanks, guys!  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Wait, didn't he like RE5?
Oh well, in the ever wise words of Thee Stranger, "More power to him."

So what's gonna happen? Is he gonna turn the guild over to you or what?

EDIT: There's a bit of an issue I have with a debate guild though. I mean, debates usually start from something small, and sneak in out of nowhere. So how is that gonna translate into the subforum?
I mean, it's not like we go, "Alright, let the debate of so and so hereby commence."  

[Canas Renvall]

No, he didn't like RE5.

He didn't say anything about relinquishing the guild, either. razz

As for the debate subforum, you can tell when it sparks. If you put out a strong opinion (like just now with the Beatles music and Pink Floyd, etc.), expect someone to argue. If you're the one in retort, just say something like "Let's do this in the debate forum."  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, good for him about RE5.
But still, if he intends to keep the guild under his command, he should make an appearance once in a while. Or did he just give you creative control?  

[MM-212 Beta]

Greetings insiders of the guild. I apologize for my lack avoidance to the guild for quite some time. Things have been up and down for me and couldn't find any physical strength to push myself to stay active with the guild since the disgraceful release of Resident Evil 5. But I'm done and past future titles. Its all about "Old School" and always really have been.

As Canas has stated, I've gotten my tonsils removed yesterday, so besides trying to swallow golf-ball size throat pain, I'm here playing lazy on my bed soaking up chicken broth, jello, and yummy applesauce. I also want to thank Canas for watching over the guild while I was out and glad him and the other mods were around to clean some of the filth that seems to litter into the guild from time-to-time.

For right now, I will try to continue to be more active in the guild while not shower on such rubbish filth the company has creative in the last 5 or 6 years. Its all about living in the past. And YES, its good to see your still here BIO and also have taken a permeant seat on the righteous side of "Resident Evil"  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Welcome home! And I mean that in more ways than one. Reading that first paragraph brought a little tear to my eye.

Well, doesn't tonsil removal usually come with Ice Cream?

And again, AMEN. Resident Evil purists unite! You know, the ist makes it so totalitarian. But what's wrong with purism? I mean, something pure is something unsullied.

But yea, it's good to see you back. So much happened. You should really partake in more social discussions too, in the Grill and such. I mean, now that I think about it, considering you're the captain, and I've been the co-captain for like... Over a year.. We know very little about your interests outside of Resident Evil.  

[MM-212 Beta]

Pretty much anything soft and running goes down the throat. WAIT...Let me rephrase that. Broth, soups, gatorade and pop sickles at first.

Anyway, much has happened and kinda feel like an outcast for what has happened to the world of the guild/gaia. Actually I'm just interested in what's new for the guilds. For right now, I need to know what the hell is going on in all these threads. xp  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, that's a difficult task. Lots of new threads. So I guess the best thing would be to just browse around.
At least it's an internet guild, so no actual speaking is required.  

[Jaidence]

Ahaha, guilds a bit less active then I initially expected, but still a lot of possibility in it. I looked through the forums when I sent an invite, but to be honest I think what I did was looked at the year when each post was made instead of the day, lol. Either way this guild still has a lot of potential and I plan to stick around.

I've not had the privilege (or disappointment from the sounds of it) to play RE5 so I can't really add anything to the coversation, except that I was looking forward to the big climax between S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella, and from the sounds of it I guess I'll never get that pleasure, but at least I got to enjoy some of the older games.

I took a look at the Rpg forums and didn't find any real activity there, and I think I'm going to have a talk with crew about a new Rpg, one I developed for another guild I was working on restoring but the guild itself never really got any activity. I'll give more detail after I've talked to crew and leader about it and if it's given the go ahead, but for now lets just say one of my requests is to see what we can do about the Rpg forum.

I also would like to get a good grasp as to how active this guild is, so another request would be a sign in sheet to be set up for a couple weeks to see what members are active and which ones are just staying around for the fun of saying "I'm in that guild."  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

You know, I've been thinking... This is like, one of the ONLY guilds, if not THE only guild having even remotely to do with Survival Horror that's still thriving... Which is a damn, damn, DAMN shame. BUT... What if... We had a subforum designated specifically to discussing other Survival Horror games, and Horror culture in general?
It could have like a Silent Hill thread, Alone in the Dark thread, Nightmare on Elm Street, etc. etc.
I mean, yeah, for all intents and purposes this is still a Resident Evil guild at its heart. But let's face it, most if not all of us at one point said, "I played everything Resident Evil that's worth playing, what else is out there?" And frankly, I'm just hurtin to discuss other Survival Horror games outside of the scope of the Grill. Because the Grill is a fickle thing. You're deep in the heat of discussing, like... Final Fantasy 13, and suddenly Obama makes some big speech, someone comes in like, "Did you guys hear what Obama said! Wasn't it crazy!?" And suddenly the entire conversation is shifted to that. Which makes the Grill nice and dynamic and doesn't alienate everyone else... BUT, I feel that as fans of Resident Evil (in one era or another) we need to embrace and expand on the discussion of Survival Horror in general, on Gaia.
So I propose this idea. A subforum designated to Horror, movies, books, games, whatever. All horror things that do not pertain to Resident Evil would be discussed in there.

A debate forum sounds like so fun to me.
^^ Mainly because I love to argue,
and in debates no offense is taken. :b
I would most likely use it to protect CV
with my life, and shun everything past
the game. x3 I love it that much, especially
since it's last last great game in the resident evil
series story wise.
Oh wait, a board to take it there. Might as well PM.
xD Ignore that.
I jump the gun at times.
Yes, yes. I'd like it very much, but it might take awaysome activity from other boards.
As for the side board, it's a good idea. As long as it stayed
as a Resident Evil guild truly. o.o That's why I joined.
Hm, I'm at loss for words. x]

Just a quick update for everyone, still here, but not visiting quite as often as I used to in the past. I plan of fixing the homepage graphic eventually. If you have any problems or concerns, let Canas know. Thanks everyone.
