Eventually the guild is going to grow large enough that we will need to have an established means of keeping the 1337 âdoodzâ and folks who are not âLurkerâ material at bay. To this end I am creating and setting up, with Roaneâs assistance, a rank system for the guild. Here are the ranks that are being put into place:
1. Guildmaster -- leader of the guild, able to set and adjust ranks and permissions. Current game mechanics dictate that there can only be one of these.
2. Lounger -- officers of the guild, who are responsible for the day to day maintenance and smooth operation of the guild. They have the ability to promote and invite guild members and change the guild message of the day. Also, an officer is the person to go to when advice or conflict resolution is needed. This rank is made up primarily of those who have demonstrated in depth knowledge of the game, or have demonstrated leadership qualities. Limited to 9 positions initially, more will be added if necessary.
3. Lurker -- general membership of the guild. Able to invite, edit their own public note and talk in guild chat.
4. Lounge Lizard -- temporary position used for invitations extended to those with whom the guild has little experience. It is a trial position used solely in uncommon circumstances when a promotion to Lurker is not yet assured due to lack of familiarity. Able to talk in guild chat.
5. Initiate -- newly invited into the guild. Able to talk in guild chat. Most people will be promoted to Lurker immediately, assuming they are registered on the boards or are otherwise known to existing guild members.
My intention with this is an attempt to keep the easy going feel from our days in the Beta but also have the means to protect the interests of the guild from harm. In a MMORPG your reputation is all that you have to go by and I would prefer that no one have a reason to not group with a Lurker.
As of right now these folk will be Loungers:
Bolty, Bun-Bun, Gnollguy, Lissa, Lochnar, Occhi, Roane, Ruvunal, and Warlocke.
For the time being weâre stuck with the Sex-goddess rank until I hear back from a GM on why I canât delete this joke rank even though the interface shows that we should be able to delete it. If you invite someone to the guild ask an officer to promote to Lurker if you know them well, to Lounge Lizard if you don't know them but they seem like good lurker material.
