Officer Duties, Functions, and Rewards
Official Duties
s an Officer, you continue to perform your duties that you assumed while holding your Elder rank. In addition to those responsibilities, you also are empowered to act in the Guild Leader’s absence when a critical and timely decision is needed. An Officer is expected to step up to the plate on a daily basis and keep the Guild steady and on course. When issues arise, attempt to resolve them. When change seems to be needed, present the change with possible solutions.

You will be given an Officer’s Handbook, which will guide you in your role. Failure to follow the Officer’s Handbook will result in a demotion to Elder status, at the minimum. A brief listing of Officer Titles and Functions can be found below.

Officer Rewards
fficers will be awarded rare and valuable loot or resources from time to time at the Guild Leader’s discretion. An Officer will receive no more than ONE rare item a month, as a reward for his service. If no items are available in the Guild Bank, he will hold a voucher for his reward. Requested rare items will NOT be given to any Officer that does not suit his class or level. Since the game is still under development and loot knowledge not yet revealed, the Officer Reward system may change. However, whatever system is put into place, the Officer’s Reward will be coveted.

Because Officers are expected to work hard for the Guild and devote many hours to its success, his rewards need to be in line with his efforts. Guild members, who object to this, should understand that any executive or manager in any business receives perks in exchange for his commitment, time, and loyalty. Our Rank UP and Reward System is structured so that each member also receives recognition and rewards as he climbs the ranks. Officer’s rewards will be in line with expectations and be fair. This is key to Fire and Brimstone’s success.
