Order guild proposal

There are some great guilds on order....but we just dont have the numbers. I dont know if its just me but there seem to be a lot more destro. Anyways saltiness aside I want to test the waters with an idea which might garner order some traction.

I was thinking of setting up a competitive orvr and 6man guild.
The basic light RP premise is that it will be a guild of shadows [Scouts/mercenaries of order]. Very knife and dagger. All races and classes welcome.
Our purpose would be to attract knowledgeable players create devastatingly effective 6mans and wbs
that can overcome large enemy numbers.

What I have/selling points/key aspects
1) Team-speak server / vox depending on peoples preferences
2) Willing to build a website
3) using voice chat is compulsory

A unique selling point would be the website. The idea is that it will sit on top of warhammer as a sort of player minigame
I.e progression through the guild will be tracked on the website. There will be a heirachichal tree showing ranks etc. Battlefield schematics showing assigned missions and player positioning. A live in game pin board for WB commanders and scouts to mark enemy locations. Lore Builders will have an archive section(I'll do that) to document the great feats of
guild members, victories of the guild, and our humbling defeats.

Obviously this is no small task to do. But ive got free time on my hands and i have quite a lot of web development experience. Just seeing if anyone is interested.

What I don't have....
1) Deep in game knowledge i.e class specific mechanics and ideal wb 6man compositions
So i would need vocal generals and party leaders to actually manage the wb in fights and 6 mans. And in those circumstances i would take a hands off approach.

Let me know what y'all think. If you have any general suggestions that would be great as well
Many thanks

Just to clarify the pinboard would be on a phone or tablet or you would need to alt tab. The website wont have any 'link' to the actual game.

This is a plan to make some kind of matchmaking / scoreboard for both sides? would be great if people dont exploit it by metagaming.
If it is only for one side, the other side will DEFINETLY "spy" on it as a counter. As duel and even roleplaying events usually attract these kind of carrions.
Would need a lot of "authority" on both sides to make peopel actually honor and support such a thing, but it really sounds very interesting.

No the website is not a pvp scoreboard or matchmaking system. Its a simple guild website with "apps" for guild members.

Is this as a naming convention, a light RP thing or will it be focused on Witch Hunters? You've got me a bit confused here.

Other than that, you've got my interest.

Very light rp just for promotional reasons. Its for all classes and races. The knife and dagger thing is just how i envisaged the guild to be identified. Furthermore there will be heavy emphasis on assisting other wbs and premades with "light assaualt" parties, used for scouting, bo caps and blocking enemy from leaving the wc. Generals would have dyed all black gear. But all in all rp is not the main focus ....its just the identity. I will be writing lore for the guild on the website however.
