you are fully capable of deciding your own destiny
( which path will you choose? )
This is something only you can decide
You know, coming back in time, changing history... That's cheating.
Rules about getting a promotion.
Don't ask the Archangels to be promoted. Right now the fleet isn't large and promotions are coming once a month. They are based off the list of requirements that will be listed below. If you want to rise in ranks I suggest you check down there first, make sure you have everything you need. However, remember unless otherwise noted, all promotions are done once a month.
Ophanims are the lieutenants of the Archangels. They can stand in for one in just about any situation. If you have a problem and you can't find an Archangel, talk to an Ophanim. If they can't handle it, then they should bring it to our attention.
Contributing to the fleet. We have tried several things in the past, but we would like to see people contributing to the Starbase. We accept that some people will donate more than others but it is one of the ways we can actively see what you are doing with the fleet. We sadly don’t meet everyone so it makes it hard for us to truly see what everyone is doing. When it comes to the ranks where we vote, we look at Starbase contributing and how active in events, meetings, and this message board that you are. Do you log on often (which is important we update and change things from time to time), do you take part in threads?
Seat time. We wait a month between promotions to make sure you’re going to stick around, we want loyal members and this is one way to do it.
Activity. We want active members, however everyone has a life and everyone has other games they play. So for extended leave of absences (a few days, a week, a month, however long) just post in the leave of absence board, it’s simple it’s easy, it’s quick and we are fine with any reason. You need a break, you lost your internet, you have a new game to play. Trust me, we don’t care what the reason is, just want to know if you are coming back someday.
Meeting attendance. The first meeting of every month is mandatory for promotions. If you do not attend you aren't getting your promotion. The only way to get around this is to sign off on the meeting notes. Either drop in and type *signed* or just let us know that you read them. Important things are going to be decided and talked about in those meeting notes. Read them.
Promotion Requirements
Watcher to Guardian
Active membership in the fleet for at least two weeks. Attend a meeting.
Guardian to Seraphim
Active membership in the fleet for six weeks. Gain at least 15000 fleet credits. Have an account on the message board. Attend a meeting or sign off on the meeting notes on this message board.
Seraphim to Cherubim
Active membership in the fleet for ten weeks. Gain at least 50000 fleet credits and/or donate EC for buying fleet repositories, be active and helpful in some way. (recruiting, answer questions, doing PvE with fleet members). Attend a meeting or sign off on the meeting notes on this message board.
Cherubim to Ophanim
We want to be sure people in this rank are committed and trustworthy. Active membership in the fleet for 14 weeks. Gain at least 100000 fleet credits. Attend several meetings where you contribute to discussions in a helpful manner. Attend a meeting or sign off on the meeting notes on this message board. Demonstrate a willingness to help fleet members and an attitude that puts the fleet first. Must be voted in at a fleet meeting by general consensus of the attending members of the meeting. This gives the whole fleet a chance to vote on at least some of the leadership.
Ophanim to Archangel (If we are not at our max of 7)
Active membership in the fleet for at least 18 weeks. Additionally, must be suggested by an Archangel and voted in by the majority of the Archangels. That said, this is only in the event that we demote someone or someone leaves. We already know how this one works but it is worth writing here that Archangels can be demoted through several actions. I would include in the list of things that can get you demoted: lack of activity, lack of communication with other fleet members, working contrary to fleet goals, violating fleet regulations, taking action against an Archangel without the sanction of the other Archangels, not performing assigned job. Other causes may be added as they come up.
