Icky Rank
 

RP Student?

You cant get furthur away from RPing then to have an official rank, 'RP Student'

Change it to something more rpish like Immigrant or Student

Mmm, currently theres some new players who doesn't understand very much about RP, so they agreed to be in a learning group.

Mikogens=Immigrants

They have to know the basics at least. There's quite a handful of Mikogens sometimes, and it's confusing to remember who is who. So the rank "RP Student" makes it easier(for myself and the co-leaders) to see the certain people who needs to be worked with. :)

But it's just a horrid rank... just turn it into Student.

If you can't remember that Student = RP Student, you shouldn't be the leader.

Makes sense, did so. Thanks.

Never said that. I said sometimes theres quite a handful of Mikogens makes it hard to remember who is who.

Why give immigrants a special title when they shouldn't have any special recognition to begin with? They are brand new to the kingdom.

Not trying to be a jerk, I just feel like all those rank name changes was counter productive to the modernization ideal. Making everything more confusing, rather than less.

That's what you get when you allow the throne to go to someone just because their related. :cool:



Were the people of Zormite Republic allowed to agree who was next ruler? If my info is correct passing the title like that is just so....unrepublic like....

I guess your idea of what a republic specifically defines is a little flawed, then.

The people do not directly make the decisions in a republic, that is a democracy. In a republic, representatives do all that for them.

I don't see why people are complaining, they only do this to annoy you, Most of the people who posted don't play and don't offer advice.

I just dont see how it matters. This isnt real life and it is not a representation of real life. So why does it even matter. Its just a game and whether you view it as a flawed system or not is your opinion. And like most things in which you have an opinion on yours doesnt matter.

i would also like to add that Zen is right, a TRUE republic is run by officials, and that you cannot judge a ruler when they first come, it is just dumb. i am confident that Akira will make a great leader. ^^

Ok, i'm a bit more intelligent now, thank you LordZen. =)



I would still like to know one thing, who represents Zormite? Just whoever is in charge at the time? Or a select few?

the select few are supposed to be but i don't know about Zormite, i got low rank :(

The 'RP Student' tag was not created as an actual roleplaying rank. It was created for potential newcomers outside the kingdom who were interested in receiving RP training. A non-RP, _temporary_ tag (RP Student) was created so these 'RP Students' could enter the castle for training classes in a controlled environment. It also made it easy to identify students from immigrants who might also be involved in such training.

The tag should be removed at the end of each training session since those who wear it are not members of Zormite and do not serve in a roleplaying capacity whatsoever. After two RP training sessions, the RP Student can enter Zormite with the Mikogen (immigrant) rank as an entry level RP rank.

The Mikogen rank is not a special title. 'Mikogen' replaces the word 'Immigrant'. Its RP significance is unchanged.

We feel the word 'immigrant' is out of place in the Zormite ranking system (being an English word) while most ranks above it had names derivative of Greek words. Rather than asking why immigrants get a special title, we asked why any English word belonged at all in this arrangement. Eventually, all the random English rank titles were replaced with original names that are more consistant with prevailing Zormite ranks.

For a reference of current Zormite ranks and their meanings :
New Rank Systems of the Zormite Republic

Wren Sagesun Archigos
Eldekahn (aka Chancellor) of the Zormite Republic

Like Dictatress, Chancellor, Citizen, Statesman, Ambassador, Nobleman, Postmaster, Duelist, Sentry, or the more historical: Trademaster?

Point is, Immigrant was not out of place, Wren. Titles such as Archist, and those existing within the former Ministry of Religion had more original names for a reason, not because that was the way it all should have been. The political ideology of "Archism" received its name as a derivative from the royal family's name whom the group of loyalists rallied around. Archist is a natural extension from the term Archism, similar to how a Democrat would be a member of the Democratic party.

Titles in the Ministry of Religion had special names because they refered to religious men and women adhereing to the principles of an established religious cult.

A government is something that should bring order to the land it governs. It does not make much sense if the people of a nation go through great pains restructuring the government of one's land, with the goal of greater stability and order, only to cause more confusion by adopting new names for the positions people would hold that are not of the same tongue that all of the people of the nation speak!

.....I would know. :\
