As many of you know, promotions and Captain/Lieutenant "activity" is a major issue here at Soul Society so here is the new system I've planned that uses merit/attendance points.

PROMOTIONS:
There are a number of ways to get Promotions:

Ranked Member:
1) 3 merit points.
2) 2 merit points. Level 5 in RPG.

Lieutenant(Must be ranked member first.)
1) Gain 15 Merit Points.
2) Gain 10 Merit points. Has contributed quite a lot directly to AnimePaper (At least 5 Wallpapers/ or 30+ Scans).
3) Gain 5 Merit points. Achieve Lieutenant Status in RPG (Level 15).
4) Special direct approval from Captains. (e.g. if you take a job in Soul Society like willko307 who used to make the Zanpakuto)

Captain:(Must be Lieutenant first.)
1) Gain 30 Merit Points (reset after Lieutenant Status). Approval from 3 Captain-Level ( or above) members.
2) 15 Merit Points. Captain Status in RPG (Level 30). Approval.
3) Direct Approval from Captains (read above.)

*note* : Contribution directly to Animepaper will help for Lieutenant Status but not Captains Status. At the Captain Stage I need to be sure you are going to be active HERE not just AnimePaper walling.

Getting a Zanpakuto
Buy one for 5 merit points, at any rank.

What is a merit point?



There are a number of ways to get merit points:
1) Recruit a memer who remains ACTIVE. (1 member, 1 point)
2) Contribution to SOUL SOCIETY Group Forums. Captains will add a merit point every week of active contribution.
3) Rewards from future wallpaper/banner contests.


NOTE: Don't worry, current active memers will be given a few merit points and most have zanpakuto already so you won't be disadvantaged.

THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE ACTIVE MEMBER STATUS LIST WITH EACH MEMERS RANK AND NUMBER OF MERITS WHEN THIS IS IMPLEMENTED.

This is quite complex ... let me see if I got it right.

So in order for a Ranked member to be able to be promoted to Lieutenant, they have to obviously be ranked member first. Then gain 15 Merit Points. Then gain 10 Merit points after fulfilling the above mentioned criteria. Then gain 5 Merit points by achieving Lieutenant Status in RPG (Level 15). After that, a special direct approval from Captains has to be made so that the Shinigami has a job in Soul Society like the one mentioned above, willko's Zanpakuto making.

Is that correct? Or did I misunderstand? ^^;

Nonono...thats far too hard xD!
You can either chooose 1) or 2) or 3).
So basically, if you're a ranked member, you can become Lieutenant by either getting 15 points, or getting 10 points + AP Contribution or 5 points + level 15 RPG.
Also, captains and lieutenants don't have to have a job like willko307, but if they do, promotion will be almost immediate.

Now that's better xD I also thought it was kinda hard o.o But now I get it :P And approve of course

Do as you please pyro >XD

i got no objections

I stopped reading halfway >XD ROFL! >XD hohohoho

Thats cool ^^ i like the merit point image x3, but where does one see how much tehy gathered will there be a list or st like that?

or do we have to remember each one?

can there be reductions of merit point e.g. if you spam alot (not in the spam threads of course) just to get a higher post count or stuff like that

@.@ so much more stuff *yeay* lol, pyro you could open a seperate website/forum just for our ss community xDDDDD

Well it looks good to me ^^ and Koharu is right you could open a SS website XD.

Lol XD Yeah, there will be a lot of things to implement and many more to implement in each one of them XD

@Azrai: Lazy bum! <.<

A SS website?

now that would be nice won't it?

at least ya can delete some inappropriate thread XD

ROFL!

What are you talking about? If you hardly log in here, you would never log in over there xDDD

Lol, yup get more active Azrai! I COMMAND YOU!
And a Merit Status List was just started by me in the normal Soul Society forums!
It has most of the details!
As for starting a separate Soul Society thing, I reeeally want to do that, it would make the RPG system and everything much more easier!
But I fear at the moment we really have less than 20 active members so there isn't much point xD! If we get more people I would consider =]!

Yup, besides aren't there people here you guys know that aren't in S.S.?

T_T

pyro commanded me >.> ROFL!
ok.. i'll try to be active >XD just don't go and disturb my download and upload speed >XD ROFL! (what's the connection?)
