A bit of metagaming/fame whoring, but ... meh. It's harmless, and not against the rule.
In fact, I think that's the point of the fame system. It goads you into doing things you may not do otherwise because you are already comfortable the way your characters are. If everyone if comfortable, then nothing ever happens. This guild could end up changing the face of your island! Or, most probably, not. It doesn't matter, you tried, that's the important.
