Ranks discussion

This is a discussion thread relating to the Phoenix Ignition Manual thread. These points are not set in stone. They are merely for discussion starters.

2. Ranks:

Officers for each topic that is to be discussed. We will need to come up with RP appropriate names for each rank.

RP Officer

1. Set up RPing events
2. Reminds people of no leet speak

ii. Recruitment Officer

1. Approves new applicants

iii. Crafting Officer

1. Keep track of main crafters, materials, and item dispersement
2. Main crafters will mail/give the officer useful items.
3. The officer will keep them in his mailbox
4. People can ask him for items or main crafters directly
a. They can send him a mail message if not online, then he/she can send the item via mail when they log on.
5. This will ensure people don’t poach from the guild vault if we ever get one.
6. People will know who to ask for items
7. We as a guild will ensure officer has plenty of large bags for their bank to hold everything.
8. This will be a large responsibility
9. Members should use mail to ask for items so he/she can send out lots of items at one time instead of lots of separate trips.
10. Officer can choose
11. Please let someone know when you will be inactive for a period of time, preferably via the forums.

iv. Endgame Coordinator

1. Set up RAID times and dates
2. Create event threads in forum

v. Community Coordinator (Guild Relations)

1. Announce events/achievements in Sunrest forum.
2. Seek out opportunities outside of the game (example: guild interview).
3. Overall, improve our guild standing with the community.
4. Post links to relevant game/community information in our guild forums
5. Facilitate relationships with other guilds. (Alliances and Rivalries)

vi. Battle Group Coordinator

1. Helps to keep the groups organized.
2. Set up events for PvP
3. Maintain Group Balance
4. Act as main strategist for Warfronts and open world PvP

vii. Forum monitors?

viii. If ranks are abused they will be cancelled or transferred to other people

ix. Although we will have officers for specific roles, we still encourage everyone to set up events, etc. We will just count on the officers to ENSURE these things are getting accomplished.

b. Bi monthly elections to change up people if need be

c. No cap on amount of months someone can be an officer

d. Can’t be a Crafting Officer and be a main crafter

e. Privileges

f. After 2 weeks of inactivity, we will have to select a new officer. You can always earn your spot back, but we need these spots filled to accomplish things in game. Actually different ranks could have different time periods.

All of the Officer positions are up for nominations. Feel free to nominate yourself if you would like to take up a position.

I think the election idea is a good idea. It can keep things fresh and allow others that might want the position a way to step up and try to become an officer if they would like to.

Looking at the Endgame Coordinator, it looks like you could almost split that into two different categories (or at least 2 coordinators of differing specialties). There seems to be part that is more of a Public Relations position, while the other is more of a Raid Planner. It might not be a bad idea, in my opinion, to have 2 separate positions for these, maybe sub-positions. This could open it up for people that might not want the public relations aspect of Endgame planning to want to become an officer.

Fixed it. . . It was originally meant to be separated but the formatting was messed up.

Also I was thinking about the Battle Group Officer role. I understand that the main role is to maintain the strategy and balance of the groups. This is a very interactive position therefore the ability to the opinion of many different people and mash together get the best parts out of them. This gets tricky a lot of times. Trial and error is an essential part of this position. The hardest part about this is if you try and fail it is a group thing. The key thing is no matter how crazy an idea is people are always more willing to try things out if there is a good attempt to explain the logic behind it.


Also on a slightly unrelated note. All of these tasks are currently covered by me and Josh. We are not looking for scapegoats or trying to pass responsibility off conversely we hope that you all are going to take as much pride in being part of PI as we do. This is not Anoman and Snargles guild this is all of our guild and I think that we have the people now to take the guild to the next level. Related to this we are always willing to help out with these duties when need be.

This all looks really good, the only thing I noticed is I think the endgame officer should have the responsibility of researching and being able to explain fight strats.
