New Shadow Sorcerer Rank! - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Slouyx · #1 03-13-2011, 05:39 AM

I, Prim, would like to announce a new rank that Davy Fireskull and I have decided to implement into the guild's system. This rank has not settled upon an actual name yet, however, in the honor of the similarity between this rank and another, we will be proud to introduce...

Hall Of Fame

Exciting, huh? Before I begin, this is in no way an attempt to "copy" POF's "Hall Of Fame" rank. The idea of this rank to be used in guilds is a rather popular one and we have decided to implement it into ours itself.

The Shadow Sorcerer's "Hall Of Fame" rank is very much like POF's. It serves as a rank to honor past officers/veterans/any other members that were once in the officer team. These members of the officer team were demoted due to inactivity and will receive their proper ranking once more when they return to normal-activity.

Officers who go inactive will be demoted to veteran.

Veterans who go inactive will be demoted to member.

Demotion is not the proper word for this, it is more of a moving into a rank of "Hall Of Fame." This is in no way a punishment towards inactive members of the officer team - this is simply a way to honor them and keep our officer list tidy!

The "Hall Of Fame" rank will be set into affect on a date to be announced by our guildmaster, Davy Fireskull. The updates of the members that get promoted into the "Hall Of Fame" will be kept upon the "Promotions" thread, along with other announcements about promotions.

*Rank details are subject to change at any time.

~Prim, Shadow Sorcerers Senior Officer

So, am I one? I should be awarded "Most Nerve-racking", of course. The ballots were stuffed.

BTW I'm a Vet.

Wow Dan... I have nothing to say xD

No Dan, you're not a HOF. I haven't set it into effect yet... I'm not sure when I will. Maybe at the next guild meeting I'll use it. Not sure though.

Thank you Prim, for posting this.

No, you aren't. You are an active member of the officer team.

- nose scrunch -

How bout... JUST KEEPING THEM ON THE OFFICIAL OFFICER/VET LIST?

Do I oversimplify?

Tiberius Fireskull · #6 03-13-2011, 06:42 AM

Dan, the reason we are doing this is because we don't want to have inactives displayed as officers. We want to have the people with the official officer rank actually be active, otherwise we just have a large amount of officers... but only several that actually still play. See what I'm saying?

Captain Sharktooth · #7 03-16-2011, 04:02 AM

Ooh cool. I wanna be a HOF member! But then again I don't....

Choices.....

sounds like it could be a useful idea for inactives but how do you know when they are active again

Tiberius Fireskull · #9 03-16-2011, 11:43 PM

When they are active again, they can let me know and I'll give them their rank back.

What if we have two pirates in the sorcerers and we are active on one but inactive on the other?

Slouyx · #11 03-19-2011, 07:53 PM

That means you are an active player, because you yourself, are an active player. Both characters will remain in proper position.

Christopher · #12 03-20-2011, 07:10 AM

Ok, thanks

Sam Bladebeard · #13 03-23-2011, 12:22 AM

Great idea to put this Hall of Fame thing in the guild guys! It will be quite useful to preserve our lists tidy, especially for officers. An inactive officer sounds strange lol!

What I meant was, demote them in-game, but keep them on the list outside of the game, then promote them upon re-arrival. Perhaps if they were GREAT, a HOF.

PS: I guess I will be a temporary member of the HOF, then. My "new" graphics card burnt out, so I replaced it with an vanilla one (hows 1990s?) until I can track down the guy and demand a replacement or refund. He is on vacation in Malta. A week or two, maybe? I hope not, but I can't play hardly ANY games, and this, in combination with screwy Internet, keeps me from playing any POTCO. Sorry, guys.

Let me clear this up.

The rank is not for short disappearances of 1-2 weeks. This is for inactive officers that go inactive for more than two months. This means they have gone by for two months without performing the usual officer duties. Upon notice of them returning they will receive their regular and proper status back.
