One of the requirements for being an officer, as stated in the guidleines posted as a sticky, is that the player be actively participating ingame. This means that they are an active player. Although there is no absolute definition of "Active" , absences of months are considered to be periods of inactivity.

At a meeting of the officers last night, it was decided that there were a number of officers who should be considered as Inactive. The players in question have not been ingame on a regular basis, and in some cases, have not been seen at all, for a period of at least two months.

These people were demoted from officer status:
Azulada / Ziza
Ned
Eliza
Mia
Yemeya
Pip

Should any of these players return to active status, return to become participating members of the guild, they will be reconsidered for their role as officers.


At the same meeting, it was decided to promote new officers. The following were promoted:

Blue Cheesethrower
Due to his participation, his helpfulness to other guild members, and his time in guild, Blue was promoted to officer. Blue is especially helpful to little pirates when they are in need of cannon and sailing rep. It has been noted that Blue gives his warships over to junior pirates for the chance to earn rep.

Reaver
Reaver hasn't been in the guild as long as some others, but he has proven his willingness to help others, often dropping everything to aid. Reaver also has given away quite a bit of gold as prize money in guild events and contests, accounting for at least 2 guild members getting their first War Ship due to his generosity.

Congratulations to both of our new officers!

Other names were discussed, and have been taken under consideration. There will probably be another announcement in 2 or 3 weeks.
