scout: the trial rank so we know your not an ass or things to that effect, its not like there is a 3000 word essay to be signed in triplicate, lost, found and buried in peat...just dont partake in asshattery and all will be dandy
battle brother: the rank of members who have proven to not be dildos...simple...yet effective
brother captain: when you level to 70-80 you gain this rank...its not favouritism, elitism or whatever...its a reward...recognition for a job well done...absolutely anyone can have this rank...so long as your toon is 70 and above...
the mournival: these four people are the gms of the guild...draz, diago, globbits and filj...between them if theres a question they cant answer its probably not worth knowing anyway
admin: yours truely
...i'm just a paper pusher and peace keeper. i'll try to make sure the bank is tidy, and people arent going OTT...trespassers will be shot
now you may have noticed that some ranks are no longer with us...
class leaders, gone...why? because i dont think anybody needs a rank to answer a question. because there are a lot of skilled players in the guild some of whom play the same classes...picking one person over the other is a breeding ground for complications...its easier this way
casual/hard core: these were used to seperate the raiders from the non raiders...like in the 60's we seperated the blacks from teh whites...i have a dream, where raiders and non raiders can co-exist peacefully...and since blizzard nicely put in the event calendar...so if you want to come to a scheduled raid...you can sign up...if you dont...you dont have to...the ranks are thus rendered...IRRELEVANT...
quartermaster...i dont know what it did...its awkward to spell...sorry...but into room 101 it went...
the leadership team is ready to knock heads together and set this guild in motion, hopefully we can get over the fact that these ranks are generic in that few people actually stand out with special titles...if you think i'm picking favourites...check out my girlfriends rank...same as the rest...my alts are all ranked correctly...zakka is the only one with "officer" status...i use the term loosely.
one thing i cannot stress enough though is that if your stuck, ask. if you'd like to do an instance...say so. but its a 2 way street remember that even the leaders have things to do, needless to say i'm refraining from levelling zakka i'll be spending most of my time on my alt deathcow, so if you need any 70 shaped help ask me, i'm not fiddling with new content just yet.
rend asunder needs you. your ideas. your suggestions. things you'd like to see...
oh and iff you can think of better...less gender specific ranks please post your suggestions here and which ever gets the best feedback will be the ones...unless your happy...ifyou rdont understand i would suggest reading the horus heresy books from games workshop.
hope this is all vaguely clear and the like innit
