The only problem I see with this is the lack of activity. Captains will not be able to control the clan due to a number of factors. Mainly because not everyone can be on at the same time. Sure, you can leave some notes here and there but it's almost pointless. Most ideas are suddenly forgotten about a week or so later. Like weekly meetings, which was started but didnt happen. So the people chosen to be Captains should be really dedicated to their job.

But there are also some good things, like the Captains settling disputes and the ones creating events. However the ones who create events don't seem to have actual control of the clan... The assistant General's or whatever might not work though, because.... well, who wants to be a slave? Seriously though, what would assistant Generals do? Please, be specific. Not something like, "They do whatever the Generals want them to do."

I think we should have rankings like there are in democracy.

Members are citizens, moderators are state representatives, Super moderators are mayors... and Cspace is el Presidentae'

We gotta add some new ranks, though

I'd highly recommend Killer and Goku for the position of captain, as I have seen both preform exceptionally well in group PKing efforts. Personally, I'd rather take orders in small groups than give them. I do prefer, however, to be higher up in the command structure. I have a great deal of experience in that position (I love Starcraft ). I cannot speak for Zolly or Hyper, as I have no experience working with them. I might update my Alpha Tactics now, I just though of several ones to add.

I remember back to the capture the flag event when I last commanded a small group. I guess I didn't do too bad, though I sent everyone to their death. It would've worked perfectly, if their flag was there... I was standing next to the respawn taking a ton of 0's for half a minute before Sajones tagged me with a lucky shot. Although we were doomed from the start, my plan was probably the best attack plan for that scenario.

Great, look what you've done! You fed my ego. Bad obi! Bad! No! (Look at him, he knows what he's done. -Peter, yelling at his pet rock for wetting the carpet on Family Guy)

Lack of activity certainly could be a problem, it's true. As to what they could do... Since anyone can host Events, I'm not sure what kind of status Event Captains would have. Perhaps it could just be a rank for those that host lots of Events, sort of to thank them for all their hard work making SeeD better. While it's true that Captains might not be used 90% of the time, it's always better to have someone reliable around that will be listened to when there is a fight going on. Having a seperate segment of the rank for PKing and Wildy fighting in general is also a fairly good idea in my eyes, as plenty of people enjoy doing that. Kind of like a revived PKing specialty group sort of thing...

Keep those ideas coming, thats how we turn some random idea one of us has into a hybrid idea, grabbing all the best parts of everyone's suggestions.

What ever happened to this. Are we getting a new rank or what?

[Goto]

Err.. not entirely sure, the topic got buried a little. Cspace seemed interested in the idea in general, but this is probably big enough it'd require a clan-wide vote in any case.

I'd bug him about it, but I think his PM box is full enough.

[Muler]

I dont think its THAT big...Isn't it just a Captain serving under a General? Like the General assistant or the likes?

Besides, we never even fight or do anything that would require a Captain, or even a General.

[Neraphym]

Actually, a captain would be great for pking squads. For once, we do need something. General is mostly an honor I guess, however, they should be able to lead an army to war just in case.

I was invited to be a 'High-Dragon' or whatever that leadership class is...For the Garden, Gothic SeeDs, but I don't believe anyone has added to me it as I requested... =\

There is no "just in case". We talk out of everything.

While it's true this clan is fairly pacifist (thats the way I prefer it, hehe ) we still have our share of internal fights. It really isn't up to Mods/Smods to hold responsibility when it is required, they just look after the forums.

95% of the time Generals might not be needed, but when they are needed they tend to be needed badly.
