MetaGuilds
Meta - From the Greek preposition μετά = "after", "beyond", "adjacent", "self", alternately used in the form μετα - as a prefix in Greek, with variants μετ- before vowels and μεθ- "meth-" before aspirated vowels, is a prefix in English and other Greek-owing languages to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter. By way of example... metadata is data on the subject of the data.
Guild - A guild (German: Gilde) is an association of craftsmen in a particular trade. The earliest types of guild were formed as confraternities of workers. They were organized in a manner something between a trade union, a cartel, and a secret society. They often depended on grants of letters patent by a monarch or other authority to enforce the flow of trade to their self-employed members, and to retain ownership of tools and the supply of materials. A lasting legacy of traditional guilds are the guildhalls constructed and used as meeting places.
The idea is, we have many guilds on VO,many work with other groups. Meta-Guilds would give us a way to officially unite in a way that could be seen in the typical fashion... targeting and pressing k for all you newbs, and a Meta-Guild tag would be pretty cool too.
By way of example...
FAMY, CHRN, CLM andthe BLF have all worked together... so we might appear on screen as:

** Authentic American spelling based on recent statistics for current (last thirty years) educational system.
Anyway, its just a way to make others aware of inter guild co-operations. It would help in combat between three or more guilds and would keepin frequent guilded players up to date on guild alliances.

BRILLIANT! +1, you devs should implements this one right away!
+1 to the ability to make alliances
Make an alliance chat as well.

"Make an alliance chat as well."
+ a whole lot.' Maybe also do Meta Guild chat like a guilds forums... different channel for...
General, members, Meta council, Meta Lieutenants and ruling council.

This would be a good feature.

+1 eventually, though I don't think it's very important at the moment. There's barely enough population to sustain non-meta guilds. I'd rather see the devs raise the group limit first.
This is good though, they could build in features like an alliance chat, maybe even some sort of hud notification showing where various alliance members are. Also, it would be cool if there was a way to designate someone non-hostile for a specified period of time, and have that status show up when you target them. Oh well, we can dream.
Lol Savet.
But seriously, -1 for now. It can already be done/has been possible since before "real" guilds existed, you just got to be a bit creative.

-1, guilds are overrated as it is. :P
I was thinking the same savet lulz
"Dream", right. More like write plugins.
But, that only works if everybody has the plugin. If you want to throw together a large ad-hoc group of vets and newbs during an event, you're SOL if the game itself doesn't support it.

Sounds familiar. ;)

-1 overthinking
VOCE (the plugin they are referencing features from in this thread) already does this
It's mine and you can't have it... Lulz
OOooh.. why not faction/nation chat while we're at it.....
And put ranks...
and friend associations
[TRI]{TGSCBA}<Cpl>(counsel)*UIT*Red Otter +like :> wut?
-1 to more stuff infront of names
0 for more channels...
why not just say... /join 321 and tell your ally's that's your ally channel and don't give out the number? or form a group...Just saying, unless its an easy implementation I'd rather see trade being fixed, better ships, models and trident fixes...... and a pony.
- my 2c <dont hate>

i like this red otter guy!
I still prefer a decent FIX to IFF system than this.
If Devs could make IFF to be Guild-Aware, AND also allow Guilds to declare other Guilds, players and nations as Allies/Enemies. Simple lists, just like some plugins already does.
[MyGuild]
-Allies: NationA, Faction_B, GUILD1
-Enemies: NationC, Faction_D, FAction_F. Guild2, Guild3
All covered there. Anyone in "Allies" list integrates "my" meta-guild. Whoever is not listed is neutral.
This would be a much simpler yet fully functional implementation of meta-Guilds.
