Welcome, welcome. ^^
Of course, this is your lovable (Maybe not. >.>) Veer Dae Lowingrad comin' to ye with a bit of a review about another Bleach guild.
This guild also occupies a bit of our own members. :3
Yes, you bunch of rascals know who you are. ;D

Anyways, ya, to the point.

I am going to tell you all a bit about this guild 'ere.
Tell you my review, since I am bored.
It will be like any critique.

As any critic knows, we live on the great notion that we will always find something wrong, misplaced, or just terribly made in almost anything we come across, and even in ourselves. We enjoy writing, and reading about critique that is bad, and even laugh a bit.

Then, we face the horrible truth.. There are just some things, that well, can't be said to be wrong. Yet, we face it, and move on.

Bleach RP: Dawn of a New Era - Veer Dae Lowingrad Review


Now, as you enter, you will see a nicely put together home page. It is orderly and well put together. It gets right to the point about those who wish to join, and who -- if you wish -- to make a donation to. They have made Squad Rankings apparent on it, as well as the others who are Espada and of other significance to the Bleach guild-- Oh, sorry, forgot to mention, the Bounts and two other races must be of no significance, since they aren't on the front page. After the Squad Rankings, they give you extra information they should've put at the beginning with the 'give RP sample when joining or we will deny it' part. They also give a list of rules underneath, which tell you what and what not you may do in the guild; And they give a link to a page to give you better understanding the rules they have set forth, which I see as unneeded.

I would give their frontpage these following scores:

Looks: 8/10
Orderliness: 5/10
Preciseness: 5/10

Now, moving into the forums. They show a large selection of sub-forums, which I find rather strange as to why some are there. They have a Profile Section, where many will post their profiles to be approved, before they are actually able to RP. They have a sub-forum made specifically for the 'Shinigami Academy'. The Shinigami Academy is a great place to start off, but is a somewhat unneeded accessory, as well. They make a new training for every shinigami that comes in, which to me seems to just take up space, and RP time. Moving out of that, we have Central 46, where only Captains may enter, and is used for meetings, unlike its Anime and Manga use.

The rest of the Squads are not given definition like in other guilds. They simply have a 'Squad (Number) HQ', which I find to be rather lazy. Not everyone knows which Squad is which, and so they should put both Squad number and the job in which that squad does; Such as, 'Squad Two: Special Forces Unit and Communications'. I do like that they have a sub-forum to the Rukongai, since that is a very large place within the Soul Society, being that it contains the most of Soul Society's spirits.

They have a sub-forum for the Human World, which is normal. There is something I find ignorant though. They decided to separate both the Vizard Hideout, the Bount Hideout, and then the Human World from each other. In my opinion, only an opinion, I believe they should have left those three places in one sub-forum; Since they largely coincide with one-another. They also did this same thing with Las Noches and Hueco Mundo. The only reason I think they did this, is most likely because they wanted one forum for mission talking, and the other for role-playing, which they are both used for anyway. It's kind of ridiculous that they separate these to me.

They have so many sub-forums that could actually be in one sub-forum itself, and it is rather ridiculous, as I said earlier. I can find no real explanation beyond that they wanted them to be separated for saving in space, by adding more to another, and lowering the looks by making their Main Forum look over-crowded, and bigger than it really is.

Looks: 3/10
Orderliness: Mixed feelings, 8/10 because they have everything in good areas, but 2/10 because they could've put things together.
Preciseness: 5/10


The guild looks nice, but to me gives low appearance, if you get what I mean. They just aren't that orderly when you think about it, and aren't precise on how things go, unless you actually ask one of the Crew up to the Guild Master. The people hardly ever check the profiles, which makes some members that join, quit and look for another guild, leaving the guild with more profiles than people who RP. They could have clumped some sub-forums into another one, yet they decided that a sub-forum used for one RPing thread, would be better than using it with all. All-in-all, it was pretty crappy orderliness and preciseness to me, though it all gave a good appearance before you looked at the Main-Forum's massively piled section. Maybe I am giving them a hard time for simple mistakes, but why not? Without people like me, what is the world like? Maybe a more gentle, peaceful, tree-hugging society where Main Forums with meaningless clumped together sub-forums thrive in thousands of guilds... Well, I don't like that type of world. We need brutality, we need evil, we need those people who aren't afraid to jump up in the air with a crazed look in their eyes, land on top of a car, and toss it like a frisbie into a school-bus filled with kittens and puppies. But, oh well, we must live in a world with these two societies mixed, and always in feud.

I may be bias.
But, this guild in my opinion

Is a hell of a lot better. xD

We could possibly put the Espada stuff on the front page.
But we're pretty organized and precise on everything.

An idea from their guild that I kind of like though.
I like the profile sub-forum where you can look at their profile
and then you can accept or deny it before they start RPing.

Whereas, with us, you post your profile and can begin RPing,
and if we don't accept your profile, you have to go back and change it.
