Your a dumbass.

Anyway, my outfit is like this:

General, Goff, our Outfit Leader
Squad Leaders, currently just Rackham
The "Vick rank" complete with changing titles, currently it is "Lotion Master"
Blue Label
Red Label
Black Label
Well Whiskey
Recruit, test membership guys

[Liquidtide]

The ranks I would like to implement go something like this...

1- Leader
2- Tactical Officers (in charge of outfit tactics)
3- Air Marshal (in charge of air tactics)
4- Surface Dispatch (in charge of all ground movements, who drives what and goes where)

5- Supporter (lack of a better name) any proven grunt with Adv Med, AMS, GAL or Standard Eng

6 - Specialist and proven grunt with ADV Hack & Infil, CEng, or Unimax

7- Solider any grunt that does not fit either 5 or 6 or enroute to 5 or 6

8 Recruit


Thoughts comments? I think it works becasue of the heiharchy (SP?) of the positions it's a 3 step system grunts report to air and surface officers who are lead ultimately by the leaders and tactical officers...

I also think this system gives grunts something to strive to be, the goals are clearly outlined and also as an higher officer you can easily see who does what at a quick look of whos online.

Here's a very basic breakdown of the ranking structure that we found works best for us.

Standard Ranks
8. Shadow Private: 0-3000 op
7. Shadow Corporal: 3001-6000 op
6. Shadow Sergeant: 6001-15000 op
5. Shadow Captain: 15001+ op

Officer Ranks
4. Ghost Major: Honor Rank
3. Ghost Colonel: Company Commanders, Staff Officers
2. Ghost General: Field Generals and Division Commanders
1. Chief Ghost Commander: Outfit Leader

Here's the system the Knights of the Revolution uses:

Recruit: A new member. They must fill out their dossier and send it in to our General within 14 days or they will be honorably discharged from KotR

Corporal: Has proven himself to be a capable warrior

Sergeant: Has proven himself both a skilled player and a capable commander, and will take charge of a group within a squad or a smaller squad.

Gunnery Sergeant: Is a great soldier and a skilled commander. Will be second-in-command of his squad.

Leftenant: Is a highly skilled commander, and thus will be given command of a squad during all operations. Must be at least CR1

Captain: Is a commander of a platoon during Outfit ops, and must be CR3

Colonel: Basically a step up from Captain, nothing more.

General: Noctifer, the leader of Knights of the Revolution.

LiquidForce ranks, about to be tweaked

Private - New Recruit
Soldier - 1 month in outfit
Specialist - 2 months in outfit
Corporal - 3 months in outfit, becomse elligable for officer rank
Captain - 4 months in outfit, outstanding leadership skills
Major - 4 months in outfit, outstanding leadership skills, has duties outside of the game
Colonel - 5 months in outfit, second in command, appointed by General
General - Commander in chief

We originally had it based on outfit points, but that isn't fair for cloakers.

Might as well just have the players post their computer specs and whoever has the most l33t machine must be best leader. <<this is sarcasm for those who don't speak fluent dumbass>>

Your a dumbass because you did not get the sarcasm, or the post after it which said it was sarcasm.

Anyway, GG kicking all your outfit.
