Lemmings of the Light

I've expanded our overview of the ranks in guild, what they mean, and what you can expect from people with the rank ingame! At the end of the post, a table with a summary. Please note that counsellors are also able to help you with guildbank withdrawals!

Initiate
Initiates are possible Lemmings, who only recently got invited to join Lemmings of the Light. Within their first month is over, we strive to have made a decision regarding the passing of the trial period.

Lemming
A Lemming is a regular member of the guild, who defends our guild principles in pickup groups, who treats his other players kindly, assumes the best- never the worst; patient, friendly individuals with a strong sense of community and team-play. Current list here.

Alt
Alts are the alternate characters of the guildies.

Elder Brethren
Elder Brethren are allowed alts in our guild due to a special arrangement. Read this post for more info!

High Lemming *
High Lemmings are people that are active on the website, who have been very helpful to guildies, and people that contribute to a good atmosphere in one way or another. In general, an example to us all People who are promoted to High Lemming not only get a funky title but will also gain the priviledge of commenting on guild applications, so they will have an influence on future guild atmosphere as well! Nomination rounds are announced every two months or so, in which you can submit a nomination or two for guildies that deserve a promotion to this rank. Current list here.

Gnimmel
Inactive rank. Guildies that have gone 'afk' for a longer period of time (1 month) and have let an officer or the guild (through the site) know about their inactivity, will be promoted to this rank. When they come back they go back to Lemming rank regardless of previous rank.

Officers * & **
Officers help the guild leader make the best possible decisions; represent the guildleader when she's not online. Officers also invite alts/new guildies (when an invite has been agreed to) and perform other "administration" duties in the guild like setting the gmotd, promoting/demoting, and answering questions about guild policies.

Class officers have the same to bring to the guild as 'normal' officers, but they help guard the guild balance (by keeping an eye on the representation of their class in-guild), and help guildies of the same class with advice and counsel when they need it.

Boss lady **
Wilgje is the guild leader. The guild leader in Lemmings plots the main course of the guild and tries to inspire guildies to be true Lemmings. He has the final say on applications and discussion topics and is responsible for all happenings within the guild.

* = guild application council stands for: the people who help judge incoming guild applications by commenting on them on the website. Getting to the rank of high lemming also opens up a (limited) insight behind-the-screens of the guild, via the guild website.

** = guild leadership stands for: people with promote/demote/guild invite/guild kick/gmotd setting/note changing capabilities. In short, they are able to do what Wilgje does and trusted to act responsibly in the guildleader's place when a problem is encountered. An officer will discuss with the other officers what kind of action should be taken if possible; demotes someone to initiate if behaviour is suspicious (hacking) or even kicks when the behaviour is conflicting with our guild rules.
