Hmn, I still don't like Apprentice, it just doesn't fit the other ranks. Maybe back to the old "Initiate", or something like "Cadet".

Orodreth- 10-19-2005
I agree that Apprentice doesn't really fit among the other ranks, I was just posting an idea, and didn't have anything suitable to replace it with. I don't think Initiate fits either tbh, Cadet could, but how about just Recruit?
I have no idea how the real military works, and I couldn't care less either actually, but since new members are recruited, they kind of are recruits. Just a thought smile.gif

OK ive done a kind of final draft for the guild's structure (it will be edited later on to include the powers each rank will have) but it now stands as:

Recruit - requires to be asked to join

Soldier - requires a tabard,
given after 1 week of consistent play

Lance - needs to donate something to the bank,
be on consistently for a further 2 weeks

Knight - needs to have invited at least 2 decent members to the guild
and donated something to the bank

Silver General - needs to be above level 30,
must be a member of the forums
needs to perform an act of selfless good will within the guild

Gold General - needs to be above level 40
and perform good service to the guild
must have aided someone of a much lower level with a quest that they got nothing from (no loot or exp)

King - have to show consistent, loyal and good service to the guild,
must be (or have characters of) a high level {30+?},
must be a member of the forums

Im not sure that I like the name King at the end, it seems slightly odd and the name kinda suggests that there would only be 1 or perhaps 2 of them at most. Im not sure what we could use instead, perhaps Overlord or something like that...(note that i am rubbish at thinking of names =P)

Orodreth- 10-19-2005
King does indeed kind of suggest that there is only one, and doesn't feel 'Accepted' in some way wink.gif

How about this order:
  1. Recruit
  2. Soldier
  3. Lance
  4. Knight
  5. Shining Knight
  6. Silver General
  7. Gold General
The rank 'Shining Knight' just appeared in my mind for some reason, don't know if it's good though, but could remove the 'need' for 'King' smile.gif

i like the overlord name was thinking along same lines as overseer but maybe sounds a bit heavy? how about guild marshall .... along the lines of military rank of field marshall being a very high rank ?

Well Jyra could never be a King - Queen maybe tongue.gif

I like Kohs ranking, and i also like gorz idea of Guild marshall... we can't have both =\ lol but good job guys, we're getting somewhere with this now biggrin.gif

Shruikan- 10-20-2005
I am planning to put the new guild struture on this evening (it will be an insentive for me to finish my geography essay faster lol) - i think i will use Koh's idea about Shining Knight or something similar since this ties in with the 2 ranks of General =)

Once the new structure is up i will post the powers i have assigned to each rank and these can be finally decided on here.

Thankyou for all the input so far =)

Jay- 10-20-2005
Great! Can't wait, thanks Carn biggrin.gif

Jyra- 10-21-2005
Oooh, it's started biggrin.gif

I like the new structure, cool rank names.

DezSP- 10-21-2005
Could have Platinum General, would fit in with the precious metals idea. Just a thought...

Shruikan- 10-22-2005
Perhaps, however i prefer not having too many 'general' ranks - it removes some of the difference between them and may cause confusion about what the difference is between each of the 'general' ranks

Jay- 10-23-2005
From what i know its all been implemented now anyway, people just need to be given ranks as only a few have had it done so far.

Shruikan- 10-25-2005
WOOHOO! Lets have a little party in our heads =)

The majority of the guild structure is operational now, with most members being assigned the rank of 'Soldier' unless i already had heard of or knew that they had achieved a higher rank. The requirements are as written before and in this post i will put the powers each rank has:

Initiate - Guildchat Listen
Guildchat Speak

Soldier - as above

Lance - as above

Knight - as above
invite member

Shining Knight -as above
Edit Public Note
View Officer Note

Silver General -as above
Officerchat Listen
Officerchat Speak
Edit Officer Note
Promote

Gold General -as above
Demote
Remove Member
Set MOTD

Jyra- 10-25-2005
Congratulations on getting it all sorted.

We should start a new thread now to keep track of who has done things to deserve promotion/demotion.

In fact, I'll do it now biggrin.gif
