New Rank System?

[ViperZakuto]

ok this something me and a friend came up with. Seeing as the rank system makes no sense at all right now. We have no Naval Fleet, no archers, or Rangers. Also the ranks shouldn't be classified by race at all. It's discriminatory. If someone wants to be an Orc they shouldn't have to be a low rank just because of it. An Orc can be anything an Elf can be.

Ok so here is the ideas we have come up with, it is not definate. We would just like to get all of your opinions before making any decisions. Let me know if you see anything that should be added or removed. As you can see each rank has a specific job that they should do for the kingdom. Everyone should play the part of their rank. This will also improve RPing throughout the kingdom. So just post and let Me know what you think. =D

To be honest, Orcs Humans and Elves really aren't suppose to be mixed, which is why the ranks were based on raced, but eh.

While we're at making ranks, how about a second list of those who would be in charge incase leaders are absent? This would be nice incase the leaders aren't around for something important, like with what happened with the Summit.

[ReBorn_Spirit]

Hmm Lifedebt, so now what if.. say someone like had a lifedebt to a prince, then what. Wouldn't it be more proper to call them a servant?

And someone needs to point out what elvish language that is, I know Quenya form of elvish, and that doesn't even slightly resemble words that I know. Most elvish languages have more then a few similairities in them. For all I know you could be calling me "silly monkey" in orc or something.

Anyways, there are races that refuse to really get along with eachother and we will have to be careful of this. By removing the race ranks we previously had, we could be stepping on a few people as well, instead of helping others like we intend too.

Other that all that, I would approve of such ranks, they seem rather decent to me.

**There is a Council of Forest that is supposed to be incontrol of these new rank divisions, those people are controled by the head of the council which would be me at the time being. And of course Lasaria is also incontrol of the council, I pretty much have little control over the council when she is online.

This could change a bit though, as the new ranks are coming about.

I like the ranks, but I think they should be more unique some how.

Hyralts aren't always elf, Tobaz Brutus (played by myself) is a Dwarf from the Dwarven Nation of the North. Erik Heimdal (played by myself) is a Human from the Eastern kingdom of Melhk. While we're on this matter - you got some Astri ranks up there like Beserker and whatnot.

The Confederation of the Forest has always seperated the rank chart to identify a small selection of races. Yes a small selection of races. The Forest is actually composed of dense inner forests and thinner outter forest - I know that you can not see this, the island space and game mechanics really wouldn't allow it.

But think of it as the rims of the Star Wars Galaxy. Basicly the tag (Forest) represents the outter most nations of this forest: Goblin, Orc, Human, Elf, Dwarf. Not many outsiders know what's in the innercircle of the Forest, the center of it. Some Elven might not know. However there is contact with all the races of Forest with the Race Council which governs the overall body of the Confederacy.

Personally I think that Forest needs to revert back to its nation-state method of doing thing if they are going to have humans and orcs as side items. Or atleast the human nation, the Orcs can be conquered by the Elven. More importantly Forest needs to reunderstand the society in which there are no real ranks. Everything is communion amongst the different races. They select a leader and a represenative and then they live out their lives.

Forest is not, by any definition, an Elvish kingdom. It's a confederation- the national government is empowered by and under the strict control of the independant racial provinces that inhabit the island. We simply haven't had much activity from Gaston Stonefist and the Dwarves or Alren Thizzle and his plucky band of Goblins. About to change soon, I assure you !

Alos, Paladin is a HOLY title. Do not confuse this with a mere Healing-Warrior; in Post-Chris Forest there is but one Paladin, and that is Lance. Lifeweavers are healers who infuse life, while Charmbreakers dissipate it. They are both necessary branches of the Magi. I'd also like to say that Mastermage is possibly the most idiotic title an ARCHMAGUS could recieve. Given the fact that the races all deal with mana in different ways, an elf would call themselves a Druid while orcs take the title of Shaman. The whole idea of the ranks being racial biast is also fairly stupid- if it were a PROPER ruler in charge, the people would know that if a character emerges who wanted a rank not available in the GUI, it would be made. We've never had anyone INTERESTED in being an Archer, believe it or not, and thusly there are no ranks for it.

There is no Forest Elven language. There may have been, long ago, but in modern times the races have all switched to Common- if the Provinces had kept their regional languages, the Confederation would have fallen long ago. It also helps to facilitate trade between the Forest and the other Nations.

I'd have to say those ranks are pretty good. I'll just have to switch to something else than Lifeweaver because I'm no healer. xD

I like it.. IMPLEMENT NOW *cracks whip*
