So, this thread is for anyone and everyone to post their suggestions as to how to make the guild better. This can be anything from "Change this about the way the guild works" to "Make a new thread about this" to "More Missions" to Anything. If you have something you want out of the guild, that the guild isn't giving you, then post it here, and we'll talk about it a bit, and we'll decide whether or not to go with that. 90% of the time, we'll probably say yes.

It's too late for Talk like a Pirate day...but I like the Talk like a Pirate week!
And taking that idea one step further, we could have contests. The best looking avi or the one with the greater amount of votes gets a prize or something.

No armeekorp ranks. Too.... military, too official, too constricting. Something simpler and more creative in its place. That's all.

I agree with NotaSuperHero No ranks. It causes difficulty in cooperation and should certain individuals be ranked lower than their expectation, then it might lead to a depression in their self-esteem as a Roleplayer and discourage them to not have so much incentive to try for more. I know, or from what I've read, there is constructive criticism, a lot of it, actually. However, for some it may not be enough, so I would suggest to simply leave it as words of encouragement and constructive criticism.

Aiden: I wasn't referring to the RP Ranks though, I was referring to the armeekorp ranks, found here.

Ah, I'm a tad misinformed despite my reading everything. That, and I'm new here. To the guild, that is. So you mean to tell me this guild has 2 separate ranking systems?

Aiden: Yes, and one of them (IMO) completely clashes with the general concept of being a mercenary.
The RP ranks are mostly there for mission purposes, meaning when we join a low membered RP we can send in the right RP'ers. Another is to sorta group RP'ers of similar levels together so everyone knows what to expect. How you ever joined a RP that looked really good, but its enjoyability for you is dampened because of the RP'ers in it? Well, the ranks give you an idea of what to expect from people, so you can determine who you're more likely to enjoy RPing with. However, since we're low in members, this purpose is kinda null. The last I can think of is, it's an honest way of telling people how good they are, their strengths and their weaknesses, areas they're good in and what they need to improve on. If the guy who wrote them wasn't such a blunt jackass, that all may have worked out better xD
I just don't think the armeekorp ranks have a positive impact on the guild, but most of the members here will tell you they like them. Then again, most of them are already high ranked. So, I dunno.

Hmmm...
I wouldn't be against the idea of Simplifying the Armeekorps ranks. Removing most of the ranks, but leaving, like, 6 or so... I could see that working. Any supporters? Also, Jesse, is that a fair compromise, you think? Simplify it, make it less significant (in design. It's already insignificant in practice), and have it set up well for our low need of it?
I'd rather not get rid of the RP rankings, but if that's the best way to go, then so be it. I want Ferregar's input on this before I make a decision, he's the Haven mod after all. I'd also like a couple of crew to sound off on that.
Events and Contests need to happen. Anyone want to suggest a few? We can set specific dates for them, and I'll mark them all in my calendar. BTW, this can potentially include zOMG, though I will say, that the crew is presently discussing that a bit.
That should be everything.

TOWNS EVENTS! Last time I say it! scream
Moving on. I like the RP ranks. They're not supposed to discourage people or to make them feel bad. It's quite the opposite; it's suppose to encourage people to get better, to make them get better so they can reach the next rank. In reality, having a better rank has no rewards. No one is discriminated because of their rank: we all mingle in the same RPs anyway. So I see no problem with them whatsoever.
The Armeekorps rank can be removed, though. It's true; they go against the idea of being mercs. However, if we change the military names to something like the other ranks we have for the other departments; hare, bear, owl or whatever. That'd be cool.

Well, simplifying them was apart of my original suggestion. I wouldn't want to completely get rid of the idea of some identifiable order. Like... we have our FNG's, our Regulars, our Veterans, the Crew, our VC's, and our Captain. That's six titles right there. They're simple, easy to understand, and not at all overwhelming. I think those ranks (or something similar) would be enough no matter how big the League got.

Personally, *I* dig the Armeekorps ratings! Gunney Sargeant, FTW! I would be sad to see it compressed/compartmentalized. sad

But we're not soldiers, so we shouldn't use a rank structure like one. Those ranks are (possibly) more influential then Wielder gave them credit for, and I don't think they're influential in a good way, considering the difference between the military/mercenary genres.
