Sam is of course joking, since he will no doubt remember Kari, and should
remember that if she had a problem with the term "guild", she surely would
have said something to Jarrod about it. ;-) (if you have no idea who I'm

Red tape is the correct answer. The government only lets you pick from a
list of certain words to register your organization, and "group" wasn't one
of them. If I remember more "the feeling" at the time, guild just seemed
cool to a bunch of nerdy, fantasy book reading sort of people who always
wanted to be in the mages guild. Or something like that. Maybe that was
just me.
