"I care about the city, not the New Kids on the Block Guild. If what you're doing is something other than making the girl scouts fit to be king of the sandbox, then I'm interested."

Penny very deliberately considered himself separate from the majority of the Guild members. Not that he knew who most of them were, and actually liked a couple of those he did know were a part of it. It was more the concept of joining that he'd never much enjoyed. He could be an incredibly valuable member of a group when appropriate, but it wasn't like him to volunteer to join a team.
