I think our name should have been the Communist Party of Armok 

[BuriBuriZaemon]

It's not about alienating other members, but designating specific roles to more active player, simply because they have more time to commit in their hands. Just like Akura had to spend resources on his consulate to get the alliance going. Consider these extra contributions to the alliance rather than being bossy.

And to spice up things in the alliance as well. Don't you want a custom title of your own? 

[Halfman]

Ex) "Halfman Commander in Chief of First UK server..." Or something like that. I figure i would start with one server and gradually work my way through the others as they opened. Don't want to beat the other players too badly.

That's what I'm talking about. 

I probably would make a good "Minister for Famine and Tax Evasion" since I've always had negative food and gold production.

I'm all for pointless titles. Until we are all a lot more experienced in the game we won't know how to separate responsibilities properly anyway. So arbitrary titles?

[Neyvn]

Sigh I just can't get a break...
I never can find any food on the field, my Farms never produce enough to supply me, All the resources around me are getting eaten up by those around me... GAH...

[Zangi]

EDIT: Dervin and anduin seem to be inactive?

Dervin has been on in the past hour, Andruin hasn't logged on in 5 days.

I guess we don't have enough members to need a centralised power

It's not lack of memebers so much as lack of any specialized function that would justify having officers. We're bay12, and we're already the 13th largest guild in the game, so it's not like we need to have someone spam recruitment messages. The trade system in the game doesn't require having anyone designated to handle guild trades. There's no real time coordinated events in the game, so we don't need a "raid leader" and if we decide to do coordinated attacks it's easy enough to post here or PM people.

What purpose, what function, what "things to do" are there that would justify formally designating people to do them? Akura can handle diplomacy if it comes up. That's pretty much all there is to do.

Actually, attack coordinators are really the only one we possibly have a use for, distance = time.  We send a wave of 5 attacks within 5 minutes from 5 different people?  Scare the tar out of anyone.  Good luck on that though, since most of us look to be casual.  I definitely am, despite leaving myself logged in the whole day, I'm actually only around/paying attention for a fraction of that time.
And we don't need a recruiter.  We are already recruiting from here in this forum.  Plus, we full?

[Akura]

Plus, we full?

Far from, I've been upgrading my Consulate to stop whoever's been stealing from me.

I've been thinking about the titles. For the time being, I suppose we could use pointless(as far as game mechanics go) titles, given by total population. For example, new players would be Expedition Leader, at 100 pop they're mayor, 500 they're Baron, and so on. Thoughts?

[Neyvn]

Hey Akura I am in Desperate Need of food. Can I please have that one next to your Base... (We are Neighbours FYI)

[Akura]

Go ahead. I don't need food at the moment.

[LordBucket]

wave of 5 attacks within 5 minutes from 5 different people?
Good luck on that though, since most of us look to be casual.

Shouldn't require anyone to be especially "hard core." Just establish a day in advance a time for an attack to arrive, post here, and let people figure out when they need to send their troops. If people know they need to log on for two minutes at a particular time, that shouldn't present much difficulty. With 30 of us, odds are good five of us will happen to be on at the right time anyway.

[quinnr]

Still working on getting my resources all upgraded.

To be honest, I'm thinking of making our alliance and the titles within it, a parody of all those professional-looking alliances out there. We will definitely stand out from the crowd! Sooooooooo, can we have custom titles, please? 

Oooor, if you want to get semi-serious, what if we use professions available at DF? Say, Dabbling Farmer, Master Elf Skinner, Competent Skeletal Elephant Rider, Legendary Carp Fisher and so on.

[Halfman]

I second Buir's idea. I think it would be awesome to be a Master Elf Skin Tanner...

[Rakonas]

I've begun the production of my first couple suits of chainmail. My first military unit will be an axedwarf, just as armok intended. How is everyone's military technology going?
