<Zxe> First
<Zxe> The SWG Ladder
<Zxe> I have had many suggestions regarding this
<Zxe> I feel that a change needs to be made...
<Zxe> However I do not want to use the high rank idea
<Zxe> Where a higher rank could lose his position...etc...
<Zxe> Instead....
<Zxe> I would like to overhaul the entire promotion process...
<Zxe> And not base it on the ladder...
<Zxe> The ladder will help towards a promotion however...
<Zxe> But you must earn your rank, with time bofore you can be promoted...
<Zxe> Any comments on this?
<Rogue> i agree
<Proteus> sounds good
<Jawa> Sounds good
<Madmatt> how would points be awarded with this?
<SWG_TRIUMPH> its your choice, i dont mind
<Zxe> Ok...points will be given out in the same way...
<Zxe> But they will not deteremine your rank...
<Hags> with the same amount for victory and loss??
<Zxe> for example...
<Zxe> Someone has 60 pts...
<Zxe> and becomes a cpl...
<Zxe> then gets 80 pts with in 2 days...
<Zxe> previously...they would now become a srgt....
<Zxe> but not anymore...
<Zxe> there will be a minimum time period between promotions...
<Zxe> not long....
<Zxe> but longer than 2 days :)
<Zxe> Does anyone have any comments...etc regarding this?
<Rogue> hmmm i guess it will work
<Proteus> uh........
<Jawa> ~(¯:-(l)
<ZØÕP> r u getting rid of the points system altogether?
<Zxe> No...
<Madmatt> Who will decide when promotions take affect, and do you still need the points for a promo?
<Zxe> The ladder will stay....
<Zorpheus> Ok then, what WILL points be used for?
<Zxe> and you will have to have a minimum amount of ladder points....
<Zxe> to gain the rank...
<Zxe> only now...
<Zxe> a cpl might have 200 pts....
<Zxe> if he gets them all in a one-week period...
<Zxe> do you see what i mean...
<Rogue> yes
<Madmatt> yep, sounds good
<RHz> ty
<Zorpheus> yes
<ZØÕP> yup
<RHz> yes
<Proteus> proteus is happy
<Zxe> They would not be able to attain the rank until they get the minimum points...
<Zxe> from there...
<Zxe> who knows...
<Zxe> the ladder will give you "Eligibility"
<Zxe> Any Questions?
<Rogue> nope
<Zxe> Ok...moving on.....
<Zxe> Awards....
<Zxe> There are 5 new awards for new members...
<Zxe> You should all check them out...
<Zxe> The winners will be decided soon...
<Zxe> They are on the roster page...
<Zxe> there is a link...
<Zxe> Next....
<Zxe> This is to all officers...or future officers...
<Zxe> SWG will be forming a tribunal...
<Zxe> This tribunal will be a panel of "Judges"
<Zxe> who will make command decisions regarding SWG
<Zxe> You must be a captain to have a permanent seat in the Tribunal...
<Zxe> but Ensigns will have temporary seats...
<Zxe> Any questions or comments?
<Zorpheus> What would be a "Temporary" seat on the tribunal?
<Zxe> You would be there for the decisions...
<Zxe> but you wouldn't be a member of the Tribunal...
<Zxe> Any other questions?
<Zorpheus> I take it joining the tribunal is optional?
<Zxe> They will be made up of officers.
<Zxe> yes...
<Zxe> No...
<Jon Calrin> can I be on it?
<Zxe> Only ensigns or higher...
<Jon Calrin> oh ok
<Zxe> The tribunal will look after matters such as....
<Zxe> The issue with Meemo Fett
<Zxe> for example...
<Zxe> Stuff like that...
<Zxe> Other ranks...
<Jon Calrin> When i am an ensign I can be on it...... is that it?
<Zxe> Lower ranks can be "Lawyers"
<Zxe> For example...
<Zxe> Let's say that Rogue has been bad...
<Zxe> and it has been reported...
<Zxe> Zoop, Zorph, Dr Saber, Bond, and Kyp durron might make up the Tribunal
<Zxe> and Jon Calrin might defend Meemo...
<Zxe> as he is not an officer...
<Zxe> Now...the person who will argue against meemo...
<Zxe> is Zoop....
<Zxe> He is the SWG Security Officer...
<Zorpheus> Jackal, lower your point size and color to white please...
<Jawa> Hey, how do i become an officer?
<Jon Calrin> so i would be forced into defending meemo
<Zxe> No...
<Zxe> this is an example...
<Zxe> of how it would work...
<Jackal> ok
<Zorpheus> thanks
<Zxe> Any questions?
<Zxe> Or comments?
<Rogue> nope
<Jon Calrin> nope
<Rogue> OH wait
<Jawa> yes, how do i become an afficer?
<Madmatt> Can a decision made by the tribunal be appealed???
<MarcusArealius> what up for the tourney tomorrow?
<Rogue> will members names be withheld if there on the tribunal?
<SWG_TRIUMPH> sounds good
<SWG_TRIUMPH> get promoted
<Zorpheus> NO ONE SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO
<Zxe> Thank you...
<Zxe> Madmatt...
<Zxe> no...

<Zxe> At least for now...
