[/html] - Shandom Qi'Vaex - 02-13-2012 I like the idea of co-ranks to go along with the structure we've currently got going on in ND. If I'm understanding correctly, these would be in addition to the subord/epsilon/delta/etc ranks we've currently got going on? However, I can see the whole promotion/assignment of co-ranks becoming difficult with the IC promotional integrity we have. Not impossible at all, but just a lot to monitor for the leaders. Perhaps, upon joining, people should look over co ranks and somehow let leadership know - whether through PM or a little blurb at the top of the joining thread - where they'll be aspiring? This could, of course, change as the character develops ICly, but leadership should probably OOCly be aware of where characters are aspiring so they'll know what they're looking for! Also, I'm totally psyched. The Emissary co-rank is EXACTLY what I want for Shandom :3 - Zalen Damaichu - 02-13-2012 Yes, this has been discussed before, and currently it's pretty easy to keep track of everyone, since we only have 11 members. In the future, I think I might have people send a PM or something to let me or Nuki know where they want to take their character. - Titania Moonsong - 02-13-2012 Mmm! Co-ranks are yummy! Personally I like the method in place by Salsola, where characters have X amount of IC tasks to complete, and once that is done, co-rank accomplished. Or, we can do the more open prompt of having people just have X number of general threads doing the co-rank duties, thus earning it. To claim it, I think (again as Salsola does) we should implement a method where the players keep track of the threads that count toward their desired co-rank, and once they are all completed, post in ND Maintenance requesting their rank. Us knowing ahead of time that people are working toward ranks is good, too, so I’d like to be told when possible so we can mention the leadership noticing ICly and such, but ultimately keeping track of it would be best to deem a member duty, just to prevent us from losing track of a thread here or there and delaying timely promotion. I wouldn’t mind if members weighed in on whether they wanted to do prompts for their ranks, or complete open-ended X-amount of threads to achieve it. - Eclipse Soulstorm - 02-13-2012 I like the idea of co ranks something to work for ^^. As for Prompts or threads, both are great ideas and i wouldn't mine one or the other - Soran Aatte - 02-13-2012 Hmmm... I like it, I think I may have mentioned before that I liked the idea of Co-ranks, I'm excited that they're going to be implemented I'm going to have to decide what Soran's going to be wanting XD EDIT: Perhaps we could run it by having the person messaging one of the leaders stating which co-rank they would like and then they have to do a few IC threads using those skills and then a decision can be made by the leadership after seeing them? - Insomnia - 02-13-2012 -waddles back to souls.- I like the idea of co-ranks....If i ever got my points from my ic post >w< But the idea is good. Maybe to earn the rank, the person has to show great talent in the rank. - Zalen Damaichu - 02-13-2012 What do you guys think about having 1 set IC prompt plus 2 open ended threads to earn a co-rank? Like say, for the medic co-rank, the prompt would be that they have to perform an advanced healing practice on someone such as stitches or broken bone setting, and then the open ended threads could be like anything having to do with advanced medicine? I dunnoooooooooo - Insomnia - 02-13-2012 I like that ideaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. - Ciara O'Callahan - 02-13-2012 I like the idea! I also think that having to do IC tasks to get the role is the best way to go about it. One needn't message the leaders saying what they'd like to do, just simply have an OOC note in the beginning of the thread that the post is going towards such-and-such a co-rank. Exciting stuff to look forward to! - Titania Moonsong - 02-14-2012 I like the idea of having a set task, plus completing open-threads. It's a nice happy medium. Also, expanding upon... Quote:One needn't message the leaders saying what they'd like to do, just simply have an OOC note in the beginning of the thread that the post is going towards such-and-such a co-rank.I don't think it needs to be required to message the leaders before hand or anything, but I think it'd be a good idea so we can assist with threading, post twitter updates and such as necessary to help get the word out to other members that Character X is looking for such and such thread to help obtain a co-rank. Should you want to change your character's focus mid way, it would be fine. - Soran Aatte - 02-15-2012 Now that sounds like a really good idea Nat, a set thread would be nice and easy to monitor, while still allowing for creativity I think maybe an optional message to the leadership would be a good idea, but it would help with everyone knowing who is going for what in the co-ranks, perhaps there could be a list of people who are aiming for a co-rank, say if they have expressed an interest or are 2 out of 3 threads through? - Taliesin Dir Rhiannon - 02-17-2012 My two cents here... I LOVE IT! Deuce would so earn herself the healer rank. LOL |
