Guild Structure

[cloudnfx]

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to take the first stab at restructuring our guild ranks and access/rights. I've never been a GM so not sure what all the options are, i'm going to force ;D Coocoo to come help me with the access rights.

Guild Ranks will be based on FIVE component:

1. Time with the guild (officer requires 6 months min)
2. Loyalty
3. Helpfullness
4. Dedication
5. Overall Gear/Skill

Here we Go:

Rank 0 (Define) - Guild Master (Coocoo)
Rank 0 (Access) - Full Access to everything possible

Rank 1 (Define) - Officers and Officers' Alts
Rank 1 (Access) - Promote, Demote, Recruit, Boot, All tabs of Gbank

Rank 2 (Define) - Most trusted and loyal guildies, High Raid Attendance (Max Level) (Min 3 months with Guild)
Rank 2 (Access) - Recruit, 4 tabs of the Gbank, view only for 1

Rank 3 (Define) - Trusted and loyal guildies, High Raid Attendance (Max Level) (Min 2 months with Guild)
Rank 3 (Access) - Recruit, 3 tabs of the Gbank, view only for 2

Rank 4 (Define) - Trusted and loyal guildies, High Raid Attendance (Max Level) (Min 1 months with Guild)
Rank 4 (Access) - Recruit, 3 tabs of the Gbank, view access to 2

Rank 5 (Define) - Trusted and loyal guildies, Medium Raid Attendance (Max Level) (Min 3 months with Guild)
Rank 5 (Access) - Recruit, 2 tabs of the Gbank, view access to 3

Rank 6 (Define) - Trusted and loyal guildies, Low Raid Attendance (Max Level) (Min 3 months with Guild)
Rank 6 (Access) - Recruit, 2 tabs of the Gbank, view access to 3

Rank 7 (Define) - Trusted and loyal guildies, Doesnt Raid (Max Level) (Min 3 months with Guild)
Rank 7 (Access) - Recruit, 2 tabs of the Gbank, view access to 3

Rank 8 (Define) - Leveling players (Min active for 1 month)
Rank 8 (Access) - Recruit, First tab, view access to rest of tabs

Rank 9 (Define) - New Members
Rank 9 (Access) - View access to all tabs of the Gbank

Please respond to the Thread and let me know how it looks.

This is WIP so feel free to provide your comments, suggestions, whatever.

Thanks for choosing PPE for all your WOW needs

Haha I like how 'Time with the guild' is 1st on the list and 'Overall Gear/Skill' is last. I was thinking more of promoting based on how friendly and nice people are. And maybe not annoying? Anyways, looks terrific so far, just wanted to add my 2 cents.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

9th (Lowest) rank: Probationary Third Class.
Has neither access to guild bank nor weight in guild discussions.

Requirements: Nothing

Officer responsibility: No one

Notes: Just a temporary spot to see how you like the laid back culture of the guild and how we run our raids etc. This also allows new people to adapt to how we treat each other or see how no one begs for gold or spams guild chat, that sort of thing.

Naturally, we'll try to include new members into raids and 5mans and whatnot so we can get to know each other and learn to raid together. This is the blind-invite rank really.

8th Rank: Probationary 2nd class.
No access to guildbank. No Recruiting power.
Has minimum sway in guild discussions.

Requirements: Be normal. No gear or level requirements.

Officer Responsibility: Ldarque

Notes: To move to this rank doesn’t require a lot, just my own (Ldarque) subjective opinion of how nice of a person you are. So after new people (9th rank) have been judged to be nice, friendly and not annoying, will they reach this rank. Not too hard seeing as I’m always up for giving someone a fair go. In other words, you can reach this level if you're only level 30 and/or if you’ve got crap gear and/or if you’ve never raided before etc. No skill, gear, or level requirements.

This is like the new lowest rank. PPE use to get to know players in the past before inviting them to the guild. Then they'll sit in probation, despite us having got to know and trust them already.

However, with our new recruiting policies, we need a new 'lowest' rank to place blind invites (9th, Lowest), which makes this rank the 'this person is alright' rank. Confused? You better be =P

7th Rank: Probationary 1st class.
Access to: 1 guildbank slot (There’s only 5 max for all guilds really so no big deal).
Minimum sway in guild discussions. No recruiting power

Requirements: Lvl 80. Minimum effort in tanking/dps/healing

Officer responsibility: Ldarque

Notes: Moving to this rank means you’re level 80 and a nice person. Also, you’re keen on raiding or running heroics with your fellow guildies. This rank has minimum gear and/or skill requirements. Your dps/ tanking/ healing abilities will be noted in the officer notes:
E.g. “1.8k dps reg Naxx“
or “1.5k healing H VoA”
or “Poor aggro gen tank” etc.

This rank is for Cloud to take a look at those numbers and see if you’re ready for H Naxx or not. This rank also most likely means you need gear from reg naxx. You’ll probably be last to be picked for H Naxx and H Ulduar because of inexperience or low gear. Just don’t let the tank out-dps you…

6th Rank: Preliminary raider.
Access to: 2 guildbank slots (Nothing nice in them anyways).
Has a say in guild raiding schedule, partnerships etc. No recruiting ability

Requirements: Interested in raiding and gearing up; Reg Naxx geared (Cloud’s assessment).

Officer responsibility: Cloudnfx

Notes: So Ldarque has seen you as a nice person and are interested in raiding. Cloud will then take over and promote you to this rank and bring you along to Heroic Naxx runs to gear you up ASAP. You’re most likely raiding with us, either regularly or casually, lazily or… hardcore-dily??

5th Rank: Regular Raiding
Access to: 3 guildbank slots (Maybe some gems, glyphs in the new slot? I never look).
Has say in guild raiding schedule, partnerships etc. Can ask higher ranked to invite a friend to the guild

Requirements: Regularly raids

Officer responsibility: Cloundnfx

Notes: In the last rank you started raiding with us. This rank means you’re a keen regular raider. A spot is always guaranteed for you in raids and we’ll wait up for you to log on cos you had to go shopping with your girlfriend wife mom.

4th Rank: Awesome raider
Access to: 3 guildbank slots (You’re not missing out on the stacks of woolcloth).
Has strong influence over raiding schedule, partnerships, loot rules. Allowed to invite strangers into the guild. Can ask to demote lower ranked members

Requirements: Don’t annoy Nofaced/Wannamuffin/Any-of-her-alts.

Officer Responsibility: Nofaced/ Wannamuffin/Any-of-her-alts

Notes: Okay, so Ldarque thinks you’re a friendly person and Cloud thinks you’re a good raider (cos they’re both idiots), Nofaced can still kick you out of the guild and no one will argue with her cos you annoyed her in guild chat or raiding or have an annoying voice in vent. If Nofaced promotes you to this rank however, that means you’re probably an awesome person.

As for raiding, we’ll kick pugs and lesser geared people out to make room for you. Cos Wannamuffin said so…

3rd Rank: Invaluable Raider
Access to: all 4 guildbank slots (don’t rob our woolcloth please).
Strongest influence over raiding schedule, loot distribution, guild invites, partnerships etc. Can invite people to guild. Can ask to kick people from guild

Requirements: Regular attendance to raids, highly skilled and adaptive. Always helps out guildmates etc

Officier Responsibility: Ldarque, Cloudnfx, Nofaced/Wannamuffin etc.

Notes: Core member of our raids. Gets secretly invited to 10man Ulduar and other progression content. All effort made to help out people in this rank and keep them updated in gear.

2d Rank: Purple People Eater
Access to: all 4 guildbank slots, plus can harrass the officers to get them stuff from the officiers’tab. Can ask for loans for dualspec, flying mounts, sexual escorts, etc. Can invite, ask to kick, ask to demote/promote etc
Shapes guild policy and strategy.

Requirements: Regular AWESOMENESS.

Officier responsibility: Coocoocachu

Notes: So you’ve been with PPE for ages now. So you get recruitment whispers from other guilds. So you’ve gotten past Cloud’s raiding standards, Noface’s personality requirements and Ldarque’s nothing assessments; this rank means you’re invaluable to the guild overall, not just for raiding but for the morale and daily breathing of the guild. Guildies will always back you up on everything you do. Please don’t make us back you up after you’ve nicked something from a H VoA pug run…

1st Rank: Officer
Access to: everything

Requirements: Not much judging by how I’m an officer…

Officer responsibility: Coocoocachu

Notes: Witness Coocoocachu’s tyranical leadership style in /o chat. Makes people wanna defect INTO North Korea…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


Okay maybe thats more than 2 cents... whatever, im studying HR atm.
So promotions will be based on each respective officier's assessment of the person in the previous rank. That officer will also take responsibility for that guildmember if the gbank gets robbed or theres a ninja-looting accusation out in the wider realm community or if they dont show up to raids etc.

Each rank brings about another tab in the guild bank to access and more influence over the guild and its members.

I don't think how long a member stays in the guild matters much, as both promotion requirements and the officer responsible for promoting will mean each person is looked at carefully over time.

Don't take any of this too seriously mind you, its all in the process of modernising Purple People Eaters as we've been around for years. Feedback welcome here or in wow.

This looks awesome dude, atleast I hope my failed attempt gave you ideas .

The easy part is done, now we have to get Coocoo and Faced to come read and give their 2 cents or maybe 1 cent. You see what i get when i asked for 2 cents above.. lol...

Once we get approval: We'll need to communicate to all members the new structure and when we'll implement. I think a guild event on the calender is good.

First time implementation /looks at Ld. - Done off hours so peeps don't see this happening.

Ongoing Maint - Make sure the officers do a weekly assestment for peeps in the ranks they are responsible for.

Overall Great Job - Now please show up for raids on time or i'm going to demote u to rank 6 .

Guess what! I lied about reading it earlier and actually just got around to it today. I guess i'll promote people more when i feel like it seeing as I've already abused my booting privileges.
