The Twilight Brigade/Ranks

== Ranks Table ==
There are several types of ranks. All types are explained and listed below.
=== Normal Ranks ===
This would be the normal traversal through the guild hierarchy. 
Unless you did something to deserve a special rank, you will hold one of these.
Rank 	XP 	Other Requirements	Rights	Description
On Trial 	0 	
*Lvl 15+ 	 	The lowest rank. These nameless faces are -supposedly- new members, and would do well to rise in the ranks, lest they be fed to the guild pets.
Apprentice 	1000 	
*Lvl 15+ 	 	Our dearest cannon fodder. Oh fine, maybe worth a teensy weensy bit more. You're still among the faceless masses! Show initiative, and ye shall be rewarded.
Initiate 	4000 	
*Lvl 15+ 	 	Yet another step closer to guildie stardom. Don't get your hopes up, though. Those pretty eyes of yours may have gotten you this far, but no further!
Guard &Treasure Hunter 	8000 	
*Lvl 20+ 	 	Awright, we're finally getting to the good stuff! You have the choice between two divisions: You can join the Guard or the Treasury. Guards are responsible for perceptor protection, fighting in guild wars and general badassery. Consider them the PVP squad. Treasure Hunters are responsible for resource collection and running dungeons, and are usually a little more peaceful. They focus on the PVM aspect of the game.
Recruiting Officer [Officer] 	16000	
*Lvl 25+
*Max. 4 Recruiting Officers	 	Congratulations, you've reached your first officer rank. You're a small fish among officers, but at least you can take it out on those unfortunate enough not to be an officer! You coordinate the invitation of new members, and manage their XP distribution if deemed necessary. Careful: By taking up this rank, you leave your division and will not be able to take up Protector or Secretary rank later on.
Diplomat 	28000	
*Lvl 30+ 	 	This rank may require as much XP as the Protector and Secretary, but it holds a little less prestige. It is perfect for members who have shown to be loyal to the guild, but do not feel the need to partake in management. This rank will grant you your due respect while requiring relatively little guild activity. If you would later aspire an officer rank after all, this definitely wouldn't a bad starting position.
Protector [Officer] &Secretary [Officer]	28000	
*Lvl 30+
*Max. 2 Protectors
*Max. 2 Secretaries
*Previously in the Guard / Treasury	 	We're moving up in the world, folks! These officers are in charge of the Guard and the Treasury, respectively. Unless higher orders are given, the organisation of your division will be managed by you (and perhaps one companion). This involves keeping the men in check, organising division training, events, ... whatever you see fit for the division.
=== Requestable Ranks ===
These ranks also have conditions, but they're not really experience-related. 
Your privileges will remain the same as the ones you'd have with a normal rank 
If you apply for the criteria and prefer one of these ranks to your current rank, you can ask one of the Guild Officers to change it for you.
Rank 	XP 	Other Requirements	Rights	Description
Merchant 	0 	
*Gathering profession lvl 100	 	You know those guys with endless pockets? Look no further. Merchants provide the guild with wood, ore, herbs, etc. at reasonable prices.
Craftsman 	0 	
*Crafting profession lvl 100	 	The local handymen. Beg on your knees, and they might just grant you that craft you've been wishing for since Christmas. Craftsmen will not charge guild members for crafting, but they don't have to provide materials. If needed, you can seek help from a Merchant for materials.
Poacher 	0 	
*Hunter lvl 100 	 	The one to exterminate all the bunnies. Provides meat for the guild members and pets.
Pet Killer	0 	
*Butcher lvl 100 	 	A most sinister companion. Provides edible meat for the guild.
Reservist 	0 	
*None 	 	This rank indicates the character is in hibernation. Unlike deserter, you won't be kicked. You will only get this if you indicate beforehand you'll be gone for a while.
Servant 	16000	
*Ranked 'Recruiting Officer' or higher	 	This rank is reserved for alts. You will gain the same rights as your main character, but the alt must always have the servant rank. Only people of Recruiting Officer or higher rank are allowed to keep an alt in the guild.
=== Privileged Ranks ===
These have requirements besides the normal ones. Usually, it involves trust, being sociable & active, and having helped the guild in a substantial way. These titles will only be given away after careful consideration by Guild Officers. If you think you're deserving of one of these ranks, you can bring it up with a Guild Officer, but do not start nagging them about it. You'll get your answer sooner or later.
Rank 	XP 	Other Requirements	Rights	Description
Breeder [Officer] 	20000	
*Lvl 60+
*Trusted
*Experience breeding
*Max. 1 Breeder	 	Also known as the Dragoturkey Whisperer. This eccentric officer seems more interested in his pet Dragoturkeys than in his very own guild comrades. That would probably explain the smell. The Breeder has the right to arrange breeding schedules, fit out the paddocks... the entire works. Always warn a member before managing his pet!
Treasurer [Officer] 	40000	
*Lvl 40+
*Trusted
*Knowledgeable on earning and maintaining wealth
*Max. 1 Treasurer	 	The Treasurer is responsible for management of the guild funds, Perceptor collections, etc. Basically, our very own despicable capitalist. Cubans and tuxedo not included.
Mentor [Officer] 	40000	
*Lvl 40+
*Experience
*Maturity
*Knowledge
*Male only
*Max. 1 Mentor	 	In theory, the mentor is here to help other members and aid in general guild management. In practice, picture an old smarty-pants lewdly complimenting your behind.
Muse [Officer] 	40000	
*Lvl 40+
*Literacy
*Wittiness
*Artsiness
*Female only
*Max. 1 Muse	 	Ah, the rare beauty of our beloved muse... Her task is to inspire the desperate, to entertain the bored, to enlighten the masses. If the guild requires artistry, one needn't look further.
Governor [Officer] 	60000	
*Lvl 60+
*Experience
*Maturity
*Leadership skills
*Max. 2 Governors	 	At last we reach the summit of the guild hierarchy... Governors, as expected, sit upon thrones made out of former guild members. They wear robes made of locks of hair, chipped from the fairest maidens in the world. Despite all that, they're not the highest ranking officer. They assist the Guild Leader and Second in Command in day-to-day top level guild management. All those pesky schemes you've had to endure during your lifetime of guild servitude? They originate here.
Second in Command [Officer] & Chosen One [Officer]	? 	
*Max. 1 Second in Command
*Max. 1 Chosen One
*Chosen one:Only appointed if the Guild Leader is leaving	 	This is the highest you'll get in the ranks. Being a Second in Command means the Guild Leader puts enough trust in you to handle Guild affairs when she's not available. You can do everything the Guild Leader can, and you only bow to the Guild Leader. (Although I have to warn you: Lunie is a harsh mistress :3 --Rides 22:12, 9 January 2009 (UTC)). 
The Chosen One is a special rank to hold, equivalent to Second in Command. This person holds the right to become Guild Leader once the current leader leaves. It would therefore be wise to pay them due respect, because one day, your insubordination will come back and bite you in the behind.
=== Negative Ranks ===
You will be assigned these ranks when you've done something against guild rules or were just a general annoyance. These ranks are always a bad sign, so you'd better watch your behaviour if you see you have one of these.
Rank 	XP	Other Requirements	Rights	Description
Deserter	0 	
*None 	 	Someone who hasn't been online for 15 days. See inactivity.
Nuisance	0 	
*None 	 	Someone who annoyed other members or did something stupid. It's not the end of the world, but watch your behaviour if you're given this rank.
Penitent	0 	
*None 	 	Someone who commited a grave error, was a real pain in the ass, or really went too far. It's the closest you'll get to being kicked out without actually being kicked out. You have no rights, and this is your last chance to redeem yourself. If nothing changes, you'll be out in the gutter very soon.
=== Unassigned Ranks ===
There's too many ranks, so we have a couple of unused ones (below). I suggest they remain unused for now. We might be able to use them as a prize if we ever do events and stuff --Rides 17:34, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
*Collector Killer
*Mascot
*Torturer
*Guide
*Murderer
*Thief
*Traitor
