Guild Ranking System
Greetings all! With the reincarnation of Invicto Incarnate, it is time to introduce a new ranking system. While I do have one set in mind; I would like our members to have a part in it. Feel free to make any suggestions/comments regarding a new ranking system, if the idea is particularly good, it will be incorporated. Have fun with it brethren, let the creativity flow like blood from a wound.

Perhaps divide the guild into three divisions, of equal numbers. I don't mean depending on what class you play or whatever, but just so that the numbers are equal. This makes it easier for the next rank up to manage them. Each divison is managed by a "captain". Each captain is managed by an Officer, who answer directly to yourself. Officers may be like your "council", and that's where certain matters may be discussed.

Sounds like a good idea mali, the officers should be made out of members who have been around for a while...

Suggesting yourself, Baldhere? :wink: Technically we've all been around for a while. It doesn't sound half bad, quite similar to our old one actually.

I mean, to lead a hopefully large guild, you'll need a handfull of officers. So why not make it out of the old II core?

Well, that would mean the newer members don't have a chance. Maybe have an honourary rank or something? Like Bearer of the Bloody Standard, and Beater of the Black Drum or something like that.

Sound's swell ,and yeahr I agree, the new guys should get a chance to prove their worth too in the upper ranks

Well, we should have to work our way up from newbies to higher ranks, but at first have the officers from the old II core. It'll help to maintain guild integrity. Trust me - in my old WoW guild we made one newbie an officer because he was a friend of someone and he freaked out and kicked pretty much everyone of a lower rank than himself because someone called him names in guild chat. Anyway, basically, what I'm saying is that newer members like myself would need to throw in a lot of work and prove that we're in for the guild, not that we want to sabotage it. At first, older members should be officers and as time goes on, move them up to Upper Tier officers, so newer people can take over as lower tier officers, then as lower tier officers become upper tier officers, previous upper tier officers become Panel Officers, second only to a select few including the founders. Like this: Invictus - Top Level Members, basically Guild Leader only. Invictus 2nd Gen - Honored Members, people who have ascended to Panel officer rank and beyond, or people from other ranks who have shown dedication (ie donated cash to the guild or something of that nature) Panel Officers - Top ranking officers, basically they're the authority to see if you can't reach the Guild Leader. Upper Tier Officers - There to help out the Lower Tier officers if they need it (second line of defense) Lower Tier Officers - Manage and help out ordinary members. Member Groups are pretty self-explanatory. The arrows going between the groups show how people may be moved between groups if one group isn't doing well, or if one is doing too well and outdoing others too much. EDIT: And possibly more divisions being added on if we get enough members. I'm thinking probably regiments of fifty members, with three or four lower tier officers, two upper tier officers. I'd expect that we'd hit about 150 members in about a couple of months if no better guild show up, and probably level out at ~300 tops (estimating here, bear with me). That's my two (more like twenty) cents.

Love the idea Cami, nice too see that you put some effort into it :D

Damn you read fast! :shock:

Very impressive Caminus! I like your ideas, and that's an awesome diagram there. I think your guild member numbers are very...generous, :P Though I can see it happening if the guild sticks together through release and on into the game.

We can very well be nice to people, but remember that we are forces of evil, they should know what they are joining :twisted:

I think for getting your lower tier officers we should host a contest at the start of the game we all make a char and fight each other in RVR for a place.
