This site & forums were created in anticipation of the game Shogun: TotalWar. The forum was called "The Sword Dojo", in keeping with the theme of the game.

We changed to "The Guild" when Medieval:TotalWar was released, in keeping with that game's theme.

There was some discussion about changing again with the release of Rome:TotalWar, but the response of the membership was less than enthusiastic, so we kept "The Guild".
