Guilds Under Attack?

[Eliza Creststeel]

I understand those who go the ALL OFFICER route. But, this leaves you with almost no order or structure.

And now, you newest members can randomly guild anyone they pass and their behavior can go unchecked.


What will fix this - in part - is a rank similar to what we do in ETC. Create a rank where a pirate can recruit, but NOT be able to remove members. This broadens your ability to bring in new pirates without compromising your membership.

A First Mate / Second in Command (Another pirate with the ability to promote/demote all but the GM) would also aid those guilds who suddenly find themselves with an absentee GM.

But, AS GM - you have to decide who is earning the right to be an officer as well as give your officer corp the appreciation they deserve. And, in case of any issues with an officer - that person should be demoted immediately for your guild's protection.

In our case, a demoted officer must have a majority of officers vote to reinstate them - same as with their initial promotion. A majority vote insures your officers that you are not disrepecting their position as well protects you from promoting someone based purely on personal prejudice.

I cross my fingers saying this, but to date - this has kept us troublefree.
