If you are a member of Higher Ranks (Leaders, Deputies, MC/As), you are held to a higher standard. Though the goal of the site is to have fun, to ensure smooth sailing, we have expectations of the roleplayers that hold these positions. Failure to adhere to these expectations may lead to your removal from that position.
General Rules
1. Users may hold ONE Higher-Ranking positions at a time. This is to give as many people as possible the chance to have these ranks.
2. You are expected to be active. This means posting regularly on the site in a reasonable time-frame. Obviously the term "reasonable timeframe" is subjective, but basically, if it's a plot important topic that cannot progress without you, and you are continually unable to post, your suitability for the position will be in question.
3. Do more than the bare minimum. Please don't just be a ceremony/moonstone trip making bot, please actually engage with your clanmates. Also as a higher ranked RPer, we hope you will be the one to encourage newer members to roleplay. It's always nice when you're new and someone experienced is willing to take time out to RP something casual with you.
4. All ceremonies/moonstone trips should follow standardized titles. E.g. ______'s Apprentice Ceremony, _______'s Moonstone Trip, etc.
Leader Specific Expectations
1. Warrior/Elder ceremonies are your responsibility. Please make them without too much delay, and post in them regularly. Copy-pasting is fine, but try and change up a few details to make it personalized.
2. Only one warrior/elder per ceremony. Of course if roleplayers wish for a combined topic, this is allowed. But in general, it's one per character.
3. Keep allegiances up to date. But only once a ceremony is complete may you alter a character's name/rank etc.
4. Lead your clan to gatherings each Full Moon. If you cannot due to personal circumstances, it is on you to arrange for your deputy or another warrior to do it in your stead.
5. Post in all activity checks.
