I've got an idea

[Dunenewt]

And before anyone says anything I *own* Ix/Vernius

[Nyarlathotep]

The cult of Doc... does have a ring to it ;D

[exatreide]

and the groups can settel their differences on the fan fiction board, where i rule with a fist of nickle and colbalt :)

[DjCiD]

Oddly enough The Cyrenius Family does fit well into this line of clans/houses/guilds naming.

Hmmm ... coping Doc for a minuet ... The Cult of CiD :- not as snazzy as Doc's cult...

The Cabal of CiD 8) ... yeah I like that ^-^

[quote author=ExAtreides

[exatreide]

The cult of ex sounds nice to :)

[ordos45]

Obsessing with Cults of Personality? *chuckles looking back at a stern Reverend Mother*

[Lord J]

Ahh...I can see the Fan Fiction titles already: "Rise of the Arrowhead Province"

Either way, I think it's an interesting idea. May I suggest a Cult of Gob, for all us Gobists in hiding?

Yes...Ex, we all know how you use your...fist. ;)

[lowzeewee]

Ummmmm I strictly don't think that this will work out though.But it is up to gob to decide and not me.

[Dante]

That I can see... there's no harm in trying.

[lowzeewee]

Let's see what loppergoba says...

[gryphon]

I not really in favour of such an thing myslef. Although they idea is quite nice. . we should be arefull that it shouldn't result in flaming the other guild, havy recruiting and freshmen rituals, things like that.

[Ice_Cube]

Would this end up with everyone making their own guild? As in I ould have the Guild of Ice or something and Lowzeewee would have the spammander guild ( ;)). If this was going to happen the names would have to be set and I think it would be best to use the original houses:

ordos

hark

atreides

corrino

ix

tleilaxu

guild of navigators

freman

sarduakar

[Dante]

So long as it doesn't get out of hand...

[ken124578]

Well, without the leaders and without being able to be booted out it would be nice. Make it so that people can choose their allegiance in their profile, example: Which side would you want to side with? Choices: harkonen, ordos, corrino, atreides etc.

[Navaros]

i just wanted to further emphasize how utterly stupid this idea is if the only choices are generic basic Houses and/or Sub-Houses.

the only merit this idea has is to allow the members here (not just staff!) to *CREATE THEIR OWN* cults/nations/Houses of whatever name and characteristics they choose - *THAT* is a cool idea!

putting the name of someone's favorite House and/or Sub-House next to his account is just plain stupid, there's no point. essentially, a request to put someone's fave House name next to his account is all that this thread has devolved into. it will just make looking at and navigating this site a extremely boring and monotonous experience. no thanks!

there is also no point if the staff are the only ones who can make cults/nations/Houses. that's lame.

[nampigai]

they have it on dreamersofdune too, I don't really see the big thing in it though.

the only merit this idea has is to allow the members here (not just staff!) to *CREATE THEIR OWN* cults/nations/Houses of whatever name and characteristics they choose - *THAT* is a cool idea!

I fail to see the coolness in this. It'll make this forum turn into anarchy, but as you have a clearly problem with athourities in any form, except if you are the one enforcing it, it does not surprise me you like the idea.

[Cyborg]

That is the *ONLY* thing I *DON'T* want to happen.

That would just get out of hand and ruin the idea.

[Terror]

well, add: "Army Of The Dutch" (AOTD), "Dutch Strike Force" (DSF), "Dutch Counter Espionage Force" (DCEF) and "The Dutch Secret Service" (TDSS)

logically, only Dutch people can be a member of these, as we only thrust dutch people.

[Dunenewt]

I think the choices should be:

Atreides

Harkonnen

Ordos

Corrino (including Sardaukar)

Vernius (Ix)

Richese (?)

Guild of Navigators

Bene Tleilax

Bene Gesserit

Fremen

And you should allow heads of houses. 8)

[nemafakei]

If people could all make their own cults without any restrictions (i.e. automatically), the most likely outcome of these factions would be close to one faction per person... completely pointless, in other words.

[Apollyon]

we only thrust dutch people.

*Way* too much info. :O

[Dunenewt]

Which is why the only thing we should do (and this site is a Dune site) is use the Dune houses/factions

How pointless. Everyone would have their own faction and it would be like choosing your own custom title anyway.

Anyone want to join Navs faction? Anyone? No takers? thought so.

[Vanguard3000]

I really don't see the point in it (it seems like a waste of Gob's time), but I personally don't have a problem with it. As long as people use it with maturity, that is. And I think a proposed House should have to have certain criteria in order to be ratified by Gob. For example, it must have at least five people willing to become members, and who can agree on a name. I would reccommend that people use Houses (preferably made up names) only - no Guild, CHOAM, Tleilaxu, etc.

I'd suggest not. I think I'm the only one still in possession of the records of the Repression of that Cult. By the way, I think you should convert from Gobism, Gobism has proven a health hazard. ;)
