Going to be some serious juju going down on the ranks.
 

Something kerscrewied my ranking system while I was gone. It's locked up in several places. It won't let me create ranks, instead of automatically changes existing ranks, it switches parent ranks around randomly but makes no change to the tree structure, won't let me rename a rank saying that the rank already exists (which it doesn't), so chances are I'm going to set a side an evening to break it down... and I do mean break it down, seriously. And rebuild it from scratch.

During this time, I will probably also prune off a lot of the members and dump them back down into the lowest parts of thier ministries, or into the generic citizen. Or do what I did before and create a temporary rank to put them in until they approach me for their rank back.

I'm slowly building a roll call of all currently active members. Their account names, their game names, and their current rank. Those will be safe and get their ranks promptly restored.

UPDATE: Greatly postponed to all this war stuff.
