Hey guys!
I just wanted to take a moment to explain the random act of rank changing the other day. ^^' you know me, when I get an idea I act immediately and without warning and just get it done, and later cement the details, heh heh heh...
So! Quick explanation!First,
everyone is fabulous and I really hope changing ranks around didn't ruffle any feathers or make anyone think I didn't value and/or love the crap out of you.
I do, I promise.
Why change ranks around?Honestly, our ranks before last week were created when we first put the FC together last-last October. We had 5 separate ranks for 5 officers, a placeholder rank (the MISSIONaries) for Cae and my Haruka and Michiru alts so we could do adminly things while on said alts, then the Manly Guardians, Pretty Guardians, and Guardian Recruits, and I even think there was another random one in there somewhere ... this made a lot of space between our senior members and the top of the billing, which, if I were a recruit, would be intimidating and if I were a Pretty Guardian would seem aggravating -
top of the ranks and still at number 7 on the chart?! blah.
So I talked with Cae about all of it, she agreed our Pretties should be super closer to the top, and I went to work demolishing and moving things around. We deleted the Venus and Mercury ranks (for now!) and the Missionaries; we moved Pretty Guardians above Manly Guardians (
though both of those ranks have equal permissions and are treated as equals!), created a special "Generals" rank for Kaladin Stormbless (for the millions of gil he toiled away to earn to help buy the house!), and then made the swap that really affected most of our members:
I moved all "Pretty Guardians" and "Manly Guardians" to a rank called "Guardian Corps". This rank has all the permissions of the old pg and mg rank, just called something different. If people are unhappy with the name "Guardian Corps" (which I thought was cute and playful because we had the guardian recruits, teehee, and a Corps brings ideas of fellowship and camaraderie to mind, to me) I'm open to changing the words. XD
Then remade the Pretty Guardians and Manly Guardians Rank with more FC permissions - ((in the recruits/corps parallel, pg and mg are like our squad captains slash company representatives XD)).
This week I'll be able to put out more information about these ranks and how to attain them (I have it all written, just need to pretty it up and post it XD) and I apologize for being unable to do that over the weekend -- I couldn't get my ipad to cooperate the way I can make a computer cooperate XD SPLIT SCREEN, I NEED IT.
So this is where things currently are. If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please please please PM me, skype me, or send me a /tell in game. I don't want anyone to feel alienated or taken for granted with these changes. TT^TT I just want to have fun and give people hilarious goals to work towards to become top rank.
JUST WAIT TIL YOU SEE THE TRIALS I HAVE IN STORE. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH -KyralihP.S.: we'll soon be implementing mirror ranks here on the site!
