PACK CONTEST -- Inferni Co-Ranks

Inferni Co-Rank Contest

What's This?

Inferni Members Only, Please!


So, Inferni apparently smells funny, since we're one of the only packs without co-ranks, if not the only one. However, our rank system is really heavily job-based, and your smelly leaders are having some amount of difficulty coming up with some co-ranks that rock. So, we figured we would turn to our esteemed membership to try and pick your brains! Big Grin


For the first round, we'll be taking submissions of co-rank ideas. After that, we'll take all of the submissions and review them, making changes as necessary. After that, a voting poll will be posted for all Inferni members, and the top three to six submissions (depending on how many submissions we receive!) will be selected, and voila! Co-ranks!


Dates

  • November 18, 2010 — Submissions Close!
  • November 25, 2010 — Voting Begins!
  • December 2, 2010 — Co-ranks rolled out!

Submission

Reply to this topic with your idea! If you're not comfortable posting out in the open, feel free to PM your submission to Sie! You can submit as many ideas as you have!


  • Proposed Name: We like Latin, but feel free to submit other ideas if you think they're close.
  • Description: Write a short description (~50 words or so) of what this co-rank is responsible for.

About Co-Ranks

Inferni is in kind of a tough spot, since we already have a ranking system that's not only split into job-based tiers but also has individual rank-based jobs. So, it might be a little rough to figure out co-ranks that aren't already taken care of by the regular ranks. It's a good idea to think of very specialized things Inferni might need. For example, Inferni doesn't have a healer position. Make sure your co-rank can be achieved somewhat easily—we're probably going to implement some kind of system of proving the co-ranks' skill through a certain amount of requisite threads.

I'm not technically an Inferni member....but I did apply to become one. I remember there being some kind of notice on the door that says all members who apply to join get 1 share of the Inferni Stock Exchange, and even those with 1 share get to speak right Big Grin?

Anyways...*hopes to not get beaten out the door* I have a few names to contribute...

Proposed Name: Adfero
Description: It means To bring news/report So I'm thinking pack messenger between other packs maybe? The Adfero can also deliver news within the pack as well, and announce new laws and announcements from the Alphas. In times of war, the Adfero(s) can be used to deliver messages from commanders to generals as well, and from generals to soldiers. They can also be mail carriers between packmates who are long distances from each other, or to find those out and about in the woods to let them know something from the Alpha/Beta/etc/a packmate. Big Grin

Proposed Name: Civis
Description: I hope I'm getting the meaning of Co-Rank right. Civis means townperson, citizen, etc I'm thinking this could be a co-rank for those that don't have a co-rank, or are just general members of the pack, so everyone can get in on a piece Big Grin

Proposed Name: Cognosco
Description: Meaning to examine, inquire, learn. I'm thinking an apprentice. Someone who's learning their trade but hasn't quite received their rank yet. Or maybe they're trying to go to the next level. For example, Tirones Cognosco, or the next step would be Hastati Cognosco, if I'm not butchering the ranks with my not worthiness D:

I'm sure my ideas are very claudus (lame, hehe I know latin Big Grin) but please don't beat me mercilessly with a club or throw stones at me. I bruise easily D:

Also, I really don't think Inferni needs a head hunter rank. You guys seem to be doing just fine with that part. *points at all the skulls* Big Grin

Proposed name: Aedile
Description: The Aedile is in charge of festivals, ceremonies, and maintenance of clan buildings.

The Aedile is charged with maintaining the clanlands, including maintenance and upkeep the wolf pikes on the borders. The Aedile would be the one to handle issues of vandalism were they to arise. The Aedile communicates with the leaders to inform members of any future meetings, such as those requiring attendance. The Aedile is also in charge of maintaining public ideals and cultivating culture within Inferni. For these duties, they work closely with the Imaginifer to cultivate the image of Inferni.
