GreatWhite what server did you say you were gonna make a PA on? I plan on making mine on Valcyn(I got two de-10s with over 600 damage each waiting for my alt once I get jedi) but we should coordinate things some what.
I agreee that trying to figure out a template with stacking in mind right now will be a waste, but you can still figure out a template that works for you. If you think a pistoleer/tk would work as a cleric go for it, after the patch the defenses wont stack but who cares youwill still look pretty cool. The template that I plan on going is gonna be all pistols with some medic. I have one of two templates in mind.
Temp 1: BH-3040
Pistol Master
Medic-2440
or
Temp 2: BH-3040
Pistol Master
SMuggler- 0040
I think the first one will work out better cause of the heals I would get, we will see though. As far as setting up a PA, just buy a PA hall and place it, then the rest you do from the terminal inside. YOu will need 5 members to stay active. If you have trouble getting them I will make a CHarcater on your server to see how things go and give you an extra person.

Currently I am on Lowca, but I dont want to leave my PA on it. Now, what I have been thinking is starting it on a different server. I really dont know yet, I need to get my laptop back so I can talk to my guild about this.
On lowca I am a rebel, so I would prefer for it to be rebel, but in the end, I think we should allow both sides in, this would allow us to hunt any jedi, since tka is great agisnt that, as well as BH. At this moment I am not to sure, I wouldnt mind switching to a different server and starting over there.
ATM I am working towards MBH MP and medic because I dont have enough SP to really go to anything else, maybe a bit of carbines, but I would rather try the medic, since that would be easier to drop than carbines if it dont work.

I'd say make it an all one-faction (either Rebel or Imperial) guild. Just makes it simpler if you want to form alliances with other factional guilds for PvP or anything like that. And if all the Rebs and all the Imps go overt, and the Rebs all hang out with another Rebel guild, and the Imps with an Imperial guild, you're going to have your guild split down the middle in no time flat.
If you want to make this a big-on PvP guild you need to pick one faction or another.

Sounds good greatwhite. Just send actairr an email or tell. I still have some grinding left until I get my alt but have a PA hall set up already. Since I am rebel I would prefer my alt to be rebel as well. We can figure all the other stuff out once you get your laptop back.

GreatWhite, if you choose a name, please don't make it really long like RolandDeschain. Make it Roland or something like that. 
As for guild name, I've already suggested Clerics of Tetgram, with our guild title as Cleric.

As for a server, I was just thinking. . . What about Test Centre? If the Blue Frogs are still there, we can get our temps instantly, and cash and all that. Place down, and form a guild of Pistoleers/Testers there. Seems to me that we could kill two birds with one stone. The Devs always seem to have the problem of too many publishes going Live with too many bugs in them still. The obvious reason for that is that there isn't enough of a testing presence there. An entire guild there might do that, and we could get established fairly easily.
Okay it might be a horrible idea, but I thought I'd throw it out just in case someone else was thinking it.

I see everyone liked the movie? I have to say that the movie impressive. Gun-Fu was the art they based there moves off of, but i believe that the real martial art was some sort of kung fu, i believe maybe mantis style? Well i for one believe that pistoleers should be capped on speed and accuracy at master, not depend on bh pistols chain to cap out. Pistol styles should be amust when sizing up an opponent. ie a pistoleer vs rifleman or carbineer, some sort of ranged tactic and same off for the melee side of the house. Your corospondent needs to read this post and get an idea to bring forth to the dev's. Pistol styles should be an idea in the future and maybe with that implement duel wielded as a pistol style for master. Thats my two cents but of course im a mbh/master pistols so im a dabbling beotch

I love the idea of Cleric as our guild tag. I have heard two ideas for name that I like. Either Order of the Grammaton Cleric or Clerics of Tetgram. Also I think that rebel would be the way to go for some good pvp on valcyn, there are always imps to find and fight. And yes as you said Roland, just like every other server lol, is taken. In fact it was taken on every server when I first got in the game, which was week 2 lol. I did get cuthbert to work on a server he other day, but dont really play there much. ALso I think test center to test out your template would be cool, but I dont want to be perminent there. I kinda want to hunt jedi and keep track of whom we kill and get good together at pvp and get some really great weapons and such. Just my thoughts

I'm down with Valcyn then.
I still think Order of Tetgram is better, because it'll be less identifiable with the movie, and we can create a backstory to make it more Star Warsish. Nothing worse than seeing LotR or any movie wannabes in a Star Wars game. It just shows a lack of imagination, imo. Sorry, that's just how I feel!

I like this idea the best for a name, I agree with you Ren. But wasn't it tetragramaton so making it Order of Tetragram?
Btw, this sounds like a really cool idea and I would love to be involved with it. Just post the server that everyone decides on.

I thought about Order of Tetragram, but then I thought that it would be just too obvious. I mean, anyone who's seen the movie will know exactly what we're about when they see Order of Tetgram too, but we'll gain much more credibility if we make it more subtle, you know? And I think Order of Tetgram achieve that subtlety nicely, but maintains the heart of it (if it even has a heart, lol)
