Five members? Nice, certainly got things rolling then.
' Wrote:Tell me what rank would you have, if it isn't in the ranking structure, I'll try to put it.
Well rank wise I was considering on the military rank of 'Tribune', mainly because of the book i'm reading "Misplaced Legion" where the main protagonist's a Tribune. Although if that's not available anything similar would be appreciated. This would mainly be since due to his age his military career would be one to improve his standing in the senate rather than one of pure military experiences, i.e. Standard Legionaries or Centurions(likely to have about 30 years of experience in the Legions)
Considering his background i'll also likely be trying for a possible movement into the Senate ranks, since although his grandfather was a high ranking member of the senate at one point it's expected since he ran during the fight that the Labeo family is nothing but cowardice. Giving him an incentive to attempt to recreate his families reputation.
Well, you can join us as tribune. ^^
As rename you can just put [RoL] near the name. Then, when we will complete the ranking structure, we'll change name with something like [RoL]Temp.Khassym (temporary leader), or [RoL]Leg.Luceiia.Corvus (legatus), as Diomedes suggested me. Also, what's your GMT?

Cool, sounds good. So should I rename my one [RoL]Tri.Silas.Labeo?
Legate ................................................................... Questor ............................................ Magister
The extra ranks Artic is proposing can then be slotted into the senate column as needed.
The idea with the above is that Tribune becomes a hybrid Sente/Military rank. Potentially could be entered from either side, but with the Senate more likely. Could also exit to either side.
Primus Pilus, like Praetorian becomes its own rank disconnected from main hierarchy. It's a one person title (maybe?), the most senior of the Pilus Prior. Pilus Prior stands in for Senior centurion. I like this idea to give people a the Primus Pilus as a high rank to work towards and look up to, without requiring a move into high command. It also opens up a ton of RP options for people to play veteran officers without requiring moves to Prefect/Legate if they want. Basically, the officers should aspire to Legate and those who just want to be respected veterans the Primus Pilus.
In short, I tried to add some non-linearity, and a couple of "end" ranks if you will (Primus Pilus is below prefect, but should be heeded by any officer) rather than leaving only one military path. Granted, it adds complexity but I think things are still easy enough to follow.
In the spirit of Rome, we could even add a few more crosses. Keep Pilus Prior can go to Equites, and perhaps Equites could go to Centurion or Censor (as the table stands above).
' Wrote:I just had another look at the ranks, I wonder if this might make things a little more unique, but perhaps a bit more complicated.
I agree it looks alot more complicated, but thats likely just be cause of the way that the forums lays it out, and that it doesn't have it's own heading. With that I'm sure it would look much less confuseing.
i.e.
Military ............................Military/Senate.............Diplomacy and Development ......................Commerce
Latin army .................................................................Senate .............................. Corporation of merchants

It sounds like a good idea, and with that in mind it could also be applied to with regards to the Console.
Khassym can answer this more definitively, but to get you started:
*Omicrons, Omegas for now I would think. Our people are living in Freeports 5, 9, 11 as it stands. Not sure if the transports are venturing into house space or not.
*Freeports for sure. Can't really say about others.
*Diplomacy is evolving on the fly. We just showed up and inRP are a pretty beat up bunch of refugees. So, no one has yet to take notice of us and we are really just trying to get ourselves standing. We'll address factions as we come across them I believe.
*No access to Zoner tech at this point. We'll like to try negotiating this later, for now, I am trying to get us involved in some mutual defence. link
*I'm going to go with: explore our new surroundings, help Zoners, supply the Freeports we're living on and kill nomads for their attack on our convoy. I've been more forum side lately, so haven't flown around too much myself but should be more active as the forum needs die down.

I think I'll make a base, if you guys want help me with it. Just to improving our RP. Anyway the transports can go into house space, since we are freelancer.
