Vengeance Guild Ranks

[Axecleaver]

Vengeance has 5 active ranks:

0 - Guildmaster.
3 - Officer
7 - Decorated Soldier
8 - Soldier
9 - Initiate

I have some names on the ranks at the moment which may or may not change at some point in the future.

When you are first invited to Vengeance, you have a rank of 9. You remain at rank 9 for two weeks of realtime. At the end of that period, if you've been good and we got no complaints, and I feel you're ready to handle alliance chat, I move you up to Rank 8.

Most folks will stay at rank 8 for a while. Rank 8 can use alliance chat. We practice restraint on alliance chat- it's a very global  channel, and while others may not respect it, it's important to me that all of us do. It's for enemy troop movements, relic info, that kind of thing. Definitely not for saying Hi. Some exceptions are made for folks hitting level 50 or 1000 in a tradeskill.

You can move up to Rank 7 by performing a great deed for the realm or the guild. As an example, Kirin was promoted to 7 for leading a lowbie force at one of our earlier relic raids (a failed raid, IIRC, one of those server-crash-game-over raids). He kept the force together and demonstrated great leadership skills in keeping the lowbies together and effective. Gueuze (while never officially promoted to 7, he would have been) alerted the realm to a power relic raid. These are just some examples of the kinds of great deeds that would qualify you for promotion. Rosslyn was a former officer and provided a lot of help to Vengeance during her service, so is given Rank 7 status as recognition of officer emeritus status.

Rank 7 and 8 have the same rights as far as chat channels and the like.

Rank 3 is officer. When we need to add an officer to the corps, I speak with all of my officers and come up with a list of possible officer candidates. I speak to each of these people and often with lots of the guild members before making a decision. Ultimately I make the final decision to promote a person to officer status. Officers have the right to claim, upgrade, and release keeps from guild ownership. Officers can promote, demote, invite and kick members from the guild.

Rank 0 is Guildmaster. There is only one of these, and that's me. I have great respect for the guild, and if there were ever to come a time when I could not fulfill my duties as GM, I would step down if it meant a stronger Vengeance.

Reinn came up with a more progressive rank structure that I, in my laziness, never got around to implementing. It had some really good ideas, and we might get around to implementing that in the near future.
