New Tiers
Note that each Tier also has the perks of the previous Tiers. You don't lose anything by being promoted.
- Wayfarer: The "free" Tier given to anyone who requests it. One will not receive promotions unless he/she first requests this rank. To do it, start a thread in the Council of Luscartia about it. This allows someone to remain out of the system if they don't want to be a part. Feel free to pressure those who are not in, though, because this will all be more worthwhile with more involved.
- Initiate: Just a promotion at this time.
- Neophyte: Just a promotion at this time.
- Apprentice: Just a promotion at this time.
- Guide: Can promote members up to the Initiate Tier.
- Adept: Can promote members up to the Apprentice Tier.
- Herald: Can give standard assignments (involving the forums, promotion, recruiting, raising game currency for guild stuff, and similar things).
- Sentinel: Can promote members up to the Guide Tier.
- Veteran: Can give challenge assignments (involving in-game PvE feats). Can also promote members up to the Adept Tier.
- Guardian: Can promote members up to the Herald Tier.
- Champion: Can promote members up to the Sentinel Tier.
- Knight: Can give competitive assignments (involving in-game PvP). Can also promote members up to the Veteran Tier.
- Warden: Can promote members up to the Champion Tier.
- Consular: Can promote members up to the Knight Tier.
- Master: Can promote members up to the Warden Tier. With the consent of four Masters, can promote a Warden to Consular.
*********************************
Promotions
Once a member gives a promotion (excluding the collective decision to promote to Consular), he or she will need to wait for three weeks before giving another. A promotion should be an important thing now, and we don't want them to be too frequent. You'll want to think hard about every promotion you give.
All promotions (even those given by SMods+) must be announced using a new thread in the Council of Luscartia. If one who gives the promotion is not able to edit the field in the member's profile, a SMod+ should follow through and make it official. The reason for the threads is to make promotions obvious and a bigger deal than before, to leave a history of legitimate promotions, and to make things easier for those who can edit the field.
Lastly, every promotion is to one rank above a member's previous rank. For example, you can promote an Adept directly to Herald, but not an Adept directly to Sentinel.
*********************************
Assignments
Assignments are either intended to help our guild and community, or to give everyone some sort of challenge. They are optional, and can either be given to specific members or be announced in the open. Some examples are recruiting, helping allies, raising currency for guild stuff such as a hall, succeeding with raids and similar PvE challenges, and succeeding with PvP challenges such as guild battles. They should be helpful and/or fun to do, but should not be intended to help specific members (such as "get Soandso some good armor").
This isn't exclusive. Anyone can still organize events and stuff with the same purpose as assignments. These are intended to just be a fun perk for certain ranks, and can be handled differently than events.
*********************************
Conversion
You won't lose your current Tier progress.
The following is where you can start, according to your numbered Tier...
1 - Neophyte
2 - Apprentice
3 - Guide
4 - Adept
5 - Herald
6 - Veteran
7 - Guardian
8 - Knight
9 - Master
10 - Master
This makes exactly four Masters to begin with (if they all accept), so the position of Consular will be attainable in the immediate future without admin intervention.
To receive your new Tier, you MUST post a thread in the Council of Luscartia. If you're a SMod+, you should still post a thread, but in this case you can set your own rank for convenience. Everyone's old Tiers are visible at the bottom of their profiles.
