Heh, Joale I talked to you ingame as one of my alts Demoik I believe. I'm not going to comment on anything in the thread, just the guild how I saw it ingame. Perhaps you could give me the answers I was trying to bash out of you before you left

After reading over the thread you talk about not wanting to serve gods. When I pointed out the whole Paladin=holy follower thing you retored with a different version of the words meaning. Yet some of your rankings include words such as "Divine'. Divinities are another inference towards Gods and unless you are claiming to be gods(which might be interesting...) I see no reason why an reference to gods would exist.
My second question was about how you gain ranking. I can not tell you how to run your guild but I would offer some advice in my opinion. Don't just use leveling, use roleplay as well. The reason why is you only require that someone know how to roleplay but your not really mandaiting or regulating the kind of 'characters' you get. You allow them to raise rank for level, not because they display leadership or any qualities that show that they deserve power.
Going along with that last point I made, give every rank meaning. The way you've set it up shows them raising ranks like they raise levels. With each rank you get more power over the lower members but no rank has specific jobs or goals. If you wanted to this guild could have a total of 3 ranks. Rookie (no levels done), Crusader (Finished leveling), Divine Crusader(You). None of the other ranks have any real meaning or 'substance.' Give them specific goals that help the guild reach its own goals.
