There are 8 ranks in Gods of War.

When someone joins the Guild, they are automatically given the rank of Maggot by default. This is a probationary rank. The rank is not meant to insult or be demeaning towards the individual. It's just a funny name we assign to our recruits to remind them that they have not yet achieved the MAGNIFICENT SUPERIORITY of our active members, and also to remind them that they have not yet been voted into the Guild. Maggots will hold this title for at least one week. Once they have been in the Guild for a full week they will be voted on by the active members of the Guild at the following Guild meeting. These meetings take place every Saturday, 6 PM server time. Maggots are expected to behave and not get out of line. This is the time for them to listen and learn what Gods of War is all about. We encourage the Maggots to be helpful and friendly during this probationary period. It is their responsibility to make a good impression while they are here if they intend to stay with us. Good little Maggots turn into good little Guildies. Bad little Maggots get banished to Bogeyland.

IF, the Maggot is accepted into the Guild he/she will be given the rank of Battle Master. You are now a full-fledged member of the Guild with access to the Guild bank and all Guild privileges. Congratulations! You made it. And so your adventure with us begins....

Executioner - This rank is given to individuals who have steadily been making a good impression on the Guild. They have demonstrated themselves to be helpful and friendly to others and should consider themselves Officer candidates. As the Guild expands and the need arises, the future leadership of Gods of War will be selected from amongst these fine individuals.

Warlord is a lower level Officer. To become a Warlord, you must be an Active Member of the Guild, have the respect of your peers, demonstrated a willingness to help the Guild and above all - shown that you are a trustworthy individual. Officer ranks are not given away freely and can not be bought. They are EARNED over time through many good deeds and acts of selflessness. Warlords, along with every other higher rank, merit the use of their own bank tab from the Guild vault and are entrusted with inviting new members to the Guild.

Immortal is a high level Officer. To become an Immortal you have fulfilled all of your obligations as a Warlord and have demonstrated that you are someone who can be depended on. You have been an Active Member of the Guild for a considerable amount of time, and have become a very valuable friend and asset to the Guild. You are an elite member. You have shown leadership abilities both on and off the battlefield and should consider yourself - "Highly Decorated". Our most honored and trusted Class Leaders will be selected from this rank.

Ancient - "The Ancients" consist of the 9 Class Leaders, original GOW members, GMs and Hall of Fame Staff personnel. Ancients are our oldest and wisest members. They have achieved this title based on their loyalty and extreme devotion to the Guild and to the server we play on. They have fought in battles most have long forgotten and serve as the finest examples Gods of War has to offer. When one becomes an Ancient, a magnificent statue is erected in your honor and your name is encrusted in the GOW Book of Legends.

Fallen Angel - This rank simply serves to house Salantha & Belv's alternate characters so that we may serve the Guild quickly, in any place, at any time.

Guild Master - Pay no attention to the Guild Master. Belv is a very strange individual and rarely knows what he's talking about. He was given the position out of sympathy. Avoid him, if possible, and try not to let him aggravate you.

Guild High Council - The Guild High Council currently consists of 15 members. (The 9 Class Leaders, 3 GMs, 1 Hall of Fame Staff, 1 Fallen Angel & the Guild Master) During times of emergency or issues involving other Guild Officers special meetings may be convened to discuss the situation. Each of these members holds a seat at the table and I will intriquetely listen to every word they say. They are the very heart and soul of the Proud Guild we are.

Permissions:

Maggots do no not have access to the Guild Bank. I realize that this rank is one of the ones that probably will have the most need from it; but due to the fact that there are those who would join a Guild just to suck it dry for all its worth and then quit, limitations have been put in place to protect its assets. Tab 1 of the Guild Bank is open for all to make deposits. The inventory will be sorted into the proper tab by an Officer. There are two reasons for this:

1) The Guild Bank will maintain a more efficient order.

2) It enables us to monitor the Maggots who are making an effort to support the Guild.

If you DO have access to the bank, and you exceed your daily allowance and absolutely MUST have an item from the bank, please consult an Officer and one will assist you.

Warlords, Immortals, Ancients, Fallen Angels and the Guild Master have the ability to add new members. The reasoning behind only allowing Officers to invite new members is so that former members who were beggars, ninjas, (Bad elements) can't sneak their way back in. Many have joined us in the past just to take advantage of our generous nature, never charging Guildies for anything, and the fact that we are an excellent raiding Guild. We prefer recruiting members who are generous in nature as well, not thieves or ninjas, so for this reason, Officers who have seniority are more likely to weed these people out.


Please DO NOT ask for promotions. I repeat. DO NOT ask for promotions. Guildies are promoted when they have demonstrated a willingness to help the Guild and to Officers when there is a need. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians is never a good thing. We have one of the oldest and largest Guilds on the server and seniority IS a factor. So please be patient and wait your turn.

The more I see you helping others and doing good things for the Guild, the faster you will get promoted.

Welcome to Gods of War and Good Luck to All.
