Teams vs. Guilds - Deikailo - Apr. 25, 2011
There are many people who are starting "teams", more than usual. However, their lack of immediate and frequent practice makes them more of a guild. Guild is definited as
–noun
1.
an organization of persons with related interests, goals, etc., especially one formed for mutual aid or protection.
Now let's look at the definition of a team:
–noun
1.
a number of persons forming one of the sides in a game or contest: a football team.
2.
a number of persons associated in some joint action: a team of advisers.
I've selected in bold the key difference between the two. A team takes action, as in, more than words. When a team goes past 4 people (because I would say 3 like the show, one as an alternate in case a team member can't make it to the tournament), it gets ridiculous.
Now let's bring up distance. I may not be one to speak since I have teammates in 3 different states, but I have a means of getting to them and they can travel as well. When you get to a point where your teammates are across the country, how do you expect to take any action? At that point, you are a guild because there is nothing to cooperatively act upon.
I'm not sure if there is a topic to discuss the two of them (pros and cons of each) so I've decided to make one.
Key topics would be
- Benefits of teams
- Benefits of guilds
- Why they differ or why you feel they are one in the same

The term "Clan" is also fairly similar to these two phrases imo.
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Callum6939 - Apr. 25, 2011
So techniquly I'm in a guild as the leader wants anyone and fun, but I like competitive groups, with a small team, that's strange/cool.
I wonder how this thread get on
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Ga' - Apr. 26, 2011
A clan is a group of people descended from a common ancestor. Unless everyone is related, whether they practice or not, that term isn't accurate.
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - ⅰкЯ - Apr. 26, 2011
Ok, thanks for making that clear. Anybody have a good definition for "Tribe"?
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Chups - Apr. 26, 2011

RE: Teams vs. Guilds - BrawlLawl - Apr. 26, 2011
yeah i guess right now my "team" is more like a guild but we just started where called gravity warriors if you wanna join pm me
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Stratus G. - Apr. 26, 2011
This thread is for explaining what the difference between an actual "Team" is compared to a Guild. Which is an excellent topic to bring up.
Please do not clutter this with "If you want to join my ___" nonsense.
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - PlayMadeSimple - Apr. 26, 2011
Personally, I don't think there are any foundations holding up these teams anyway. Yeah, maybe a tag at one or two tournaments or a group of friends playing against anther, but these have gotten so far excessive, with all the current battle conferences, meet-ups and training sessions, lol. Truth is, they never even go forward which is perhaps why she brang these up. I think it's a great topic, but once you explain the two and delibrate a little, it all loses its gleam really.
But obviously, if its a guild, it's led by a crazy, sadistic Wigglytuff. If it is a team, its led by any other Mortal. Its common facts...

Actually the term Clan could be used for the definition isn't just what you put
Definition of Clan
1: a: a Celtic group especially in the Scottish Highlands comprising a number of households whose heads
claim descent from a common ancestor
b: a group of people tracing descent from a common ancestor : family
2: a group united by a common interest or common characteristics
A group united by a common intrest in this case the common intrest is beyblade

It's difficult to say for overseas, but here in the UK, people like the idea of a team, but there has yet to be a 'tag team' tourney or one which solely involves teams.

Play World of Warcraft.

RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Jaems1 - Apr. 26, 2011
Hah, I actually learnt the difference between Guild and Team just a few months ago during a lecture; so it feels ironic to see it again here on the WBO (as if it were a test if i was paying attention...)

RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Callum6939 - Apr. 27, 2011
guilds tend to share more interests and goals, but teams tend to be more compeditive, and aim to get higher (which i want to be on a team, but currently im in a guild and the owner will get angry if i left (like last time lol))
RE: Teams vs. Guilds - Lyra - Apr. 27, 2011
Teams do just guilds have tons of team work and everyone thinks alike so lets say you start a guild caller The Big Bang Guild everyone would have a big bang pegasis and they would use the same flawless techniques but teams are flopsy and do think alike just not as much

Except that teams have a lot more meaning to exist than a 'guild' who cannot even ever meet up ...
