The problem was that > the package itself isn't really a "guild hall" -- it marks you as a > member of the guild, giving you access to various guild halls on the > net. After some hemming and hawwing I renamed it to "sigil" -- a > graphic sign that marks you as a member of some group. It's your guild > sigil? Wikipedia says that sigils have to do with magic: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sigil_%28magic%29 (WordNet, like me, didn’t know the word.) Wikipedia’s page on “guild” doesn’t mention it: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Guild Maybe “seal”? See you soon! Ludo’.
