Talk:Gods of Spiral (Guild)

1. Good idea. My concern is with insuring the GM's don't hold all the power and are free to step in where an officer is weak/uncommitted. Perhaps one GM could replace the Crowns and the other the Materials Officers.

2. The three step approach is, in my mind, the equivilent to a screening process. Elite means high standards. We should not expect every interested player who might want to join will be allowed to join. We, in fact, should expect most to "wash out." As for Members recommending..not a problem. I can agree to that easily.

3. If we lose officers because they choose not to particpate at that level then we gain Vets. I assume that some of the officers will want to "step down" and some not. Elevating Members to Vets can also occur if we are diligent in our efforts.

4. Agreed

5. I really like this idea. Mentors from the Officer core would add a lot...especially if they take the role seriously. I also like the suggestion that the Mentors have several recruits and members they are working with. We might also consider moving recruits from one mentor to another with each mentor working on a specific area-- tactics, weapon usage, defense, etc..

6. You are probably right about the second training officer. I do think there may be more tactics and strategies to be taught at some point but for now the higher training officer is not needed.

7. One of the reasons is that occassionally people get so ticked that they need a formal method of resolving issues. On the otherhand I suppose the 3GM's could take charge of this, hopefully rare, occurance.

8. Actually, I'm embarassed to say this office was presented just to fill out the 10 officer quota. I suppose that if a GM is not around when things need to be done we can count on the officers to do the right thing, whatever that happens to be.

Finally, one wonders if your job will always be so easy. After all, if GOS members actually get involved there might be a lot more to report. Time will tell.
