The Latest from Gravite, 7/17/2010:
Uniforms WILL be utilized on special occasions.
--They will not, at any point, be required. They will be optional, for those who have the Gold to spare. We are still deciding on the uniforms themselves, but expect differences between Enlisted, Officers, and Crew uniforms.

The Name "The Gaian Mercenary League" will remain as-is, unchanged.

Roleplays within the Haven are allowed to be Segregated at the request of the RP Creator. This means that only members that fit the requirements, in terms of RP rank, will be allowed to join the Roleplay. This will only be applicable when/if the RP Creator sets the requirements. If no requirements are listed, it's free game.
-----------------------------------------

Sunday, June 27th.

We have decided that:
The Armeekorps Ranks will remain untouched. However, we will be deciding upon new criteria in the near future.

In order to be admitted to the Guild as a Member, applicants must fill out a questionnaire. This questionnaire will include an RP prompt, so we can assign a Roleplay rank immediately upon acceptance into the guild.

-----------------------------------------

Better known as GRAVITE.

Let's get one thing straight. We have issues. We have issues with the Guild, things that have effed us over, over time. A number of individuals brought this to my immediate attention.

I then proceeded to form Gravite, with the sole intention of changing the League to what it should be. I invited the Veterans and Crew of the League, and we began to deliberate.

We have made a number of decisions. We are currently making decisions. We will begin making still more decisions in the near future. We will deliberate and discuss what we each feel is best for the league, changing core aspects and principles.

One of the biggest Changes we have made thus far is simple.

We will No Longer require Payment for our Services, Roleplaying or Otherwise.

Let's face it, business hasn't been slow, it's been failtastic. We're in practically the same posiition we've been in for eternity. We have few members, and fewer clients. That's because, simply put, No-one will pay someone to Roleplay. Thus, our purpose has been changed. We will offer to join, as a group, any roleplay that is hurting for members, that catches our fancy. When it can be seamlessly introduced, our characters will be from the Mercenary League. Apart from that, we will state in OOC our affiliation with the League, and answer questions, and recruit Passively. We will also actively recruit like normal, but that's besides the point.

The Identities of those involved, I will not say, for their privacy. It's not tough to figure out for yourself, but even so, if they don't want to expose their involvement, fine.

I will update this thread with every Decision we reach when we reach it. Presently, we are conversing on the topics of:
Roleplay Ranks
Armeekorps Ranks
Roleplay Segregation
Missions
Requirements for Guild Admission
Uniforms
Departments
The Parlor

Again, I'll report our decisions when we reach them. Posts questions, comments, etc.. here.

Does that mean that the Treasury dept. will be disbanded. At least I got in one mission as the head of something. Rockstar we had a good run.

At present, we're still discussing the Departments.

If you took the roleplay test before this overhaul and are waiting on your score, do you have to do it again or will it just be graded from there and then that's just the end of that?

You won't have to take it again.

You forgot to mention that any one currently ranked (or waiting to be ranked) are going to be re-ranked once the new RP ranks have been put up. This doesn't ensure that anyone currently ranked will recieve the same level of rank once their role-playing has been evaluated by the new rank standards.

Um, you do realize that this guild is categorized as a Military Guild, not an RP guild? So, maybe if you changed that, you would get more roleplayers here. Just saying...

Yeah I have noticed that the guild at first seems more like a Military Guild. Sense changes are being made in how things get done that should help. Im willing to help in anyway I can. ^.^

This, but also include the Armeekorps Rank.

We're.... slowly discussing Armeekorp Rank promotion criteria, but the conversation kinda got sidetracked on the matter of Squads (which we decided that due to our current small active member size, wouldn't be appropriate, but it's something to reconsider in the future), and we haven't really gotten into the details of the criteria. Although, we're trying to balance the criteria properly so that members will be able to get more motivated to get a promotion. That, added to the fact that most of the Crew and the Veterns (including myself) are busy with RL s**t, makes for slow progression.

Speaking of Armeekorp ranks, that gave me an idea....

I thought it might be cool to wear a uniform-esque by my own design for while we are RPing in the forums. However, it'd be nice to have a linkable ID card or banner or something for the GML to put in my signature as well for such occasions. Just saying. But yay.

Well that's good news. Why would you have changed the name? I like it. smile

SO, can I add literacy requirements to my story in the RPH now then? And, are we just doing "literate, semi-lit, etc." or using whatever Gear's ranking system thing is?

@Karma, ID cards are coming soon, and Darius has posted the new ranks.

At this point, Gravite is finished and done with. We've put in most of the changes, so make sure to go over the rules in each Subforum. There's a little bit left, but it'll be taken care of within a day or two.

So, I'm gonna begin recruiting en masse. Wyvern's offered to assist, and I'd be glad if you guys would too.

Remember, the newbies might not quite know what's up, so make sure to answer whatever questions they have, and make them feel welcome.

Well, here goes nothing!
