I have a few thoughts about this:

* Any ideas around creating new Guilds, or would you rather leave that for a future Proposal?

* If Wizards begin to idle out, and one Guild finds themselves with much fewer members than the other, what are their options? Wizards in the more populated Guild(s) won’t likely switch with them, so the Wizards in the smaller Guild are a bit stuck. Maybe allow them to leave their current Guild and get auto-assigned if the Guild goes below a certain membership number?

Those are good points, I guess they both depend on how important the guilds being fairly balanced is, which as it stands is not at all. I could make it free to create a guild and/or free to join a guild (with the permission archmage’s permission?), but the only thing that would guarantee is that if the guilds are imbalanced it’s our own fault.

Not really a fan of forced teams. Wizards working together is great, but there should be plenty of room for backstabbing and betrayal as well.

Ok give me a minute to rewrite some things.

Ok, I rewrote the proposal so it’s now free to create a Guild and change your Guild once per Duel. I don’t expect there to be a heavy emphasis on Guilds having equal amounts of Wizards or Stars to be balanced.

unfortunately too late to change now, but I’d like all actions this dynasty to happen on the cadence of a a duel. So none of this “due this at any time” stuff. But I suppose all of that can be addressed if needed in a later patch

I don’t think I like Archmages.

Confused what exactly we might use explicit teams for that we can’t already do with our own private teams

Feels like there’s already enough visible coordination going on, with spell targets and styles.

@Brendan Do you not like the idea of archmages or do you not like the word

I don’t like certain players being in charge of other players’ gamestate, which is why Alliances is non-hierarchical and a matter of mutual agreement.

@Snisbo This would open up the possibility for spells or mechanics that affect members of your guild, or perhaps that depend on the number of stars or the lode of your guild, etc. I also just think it would be fun.

@Kevan I disagree, if people are working in teams I for one am in the dark. I could look at the battle results and try and decipher who is working with who, but it would just be guesswork.
