Purpose / Ethos
Recruitment Process
Leadership
Major decisions for the Guild, such as whether to focus on a specific task (or just let everyone Do Their Own Thing), whether to ally with one of the factions or another Guild, what to focus on in the Landsraad, and so on, will be handled in a regularly scheduled Council where members are allowed to participate as per their place in the Ranking structure. Members who are allowed to vote in Council may also propose measures to be voted on in the next council. The same measure may not be voted on two-councils in a row, no matter who proposes it.
(until the Guild grows to about 15+ Members, we will use a simple majority vote to make major decisions)
Rank comes with Responsibility as much as Privileges, with full details of these elaborated on in the ranking-structure listed below. Gaining Rank is a matter of showing consistent interest in the goals of the Guild, and working together with other members to ensure that everyone enjoys their time playing Dune: Awakening. Dumping resources into our coffers isn't enough on its own to let you a climb up the Ranks, but it will be counted as a mark in your favour. Advancement in Rank will be determined on an individual basis by Leadership and Senior members (full details if you get that far).
Ranks/Hierarchy
Voice:
Guild Leadership: Leadership's In Game role is to enforce the collective will of the Tribe, and determine the best ways to go about fulfilling the goals set by the Guild at council meetings by managing logistics and large-scale organization. Out of Game is where their most important responsibilities are found, as Leadership is in charge of enforcing Guild Rules of Conduct, and mediating disputes between people in our community to ensure a safe and fun environment for all of our Guild members.
Leadership has full access to Guild facilities and resources with no restrictions on use. This is primarily to facilitate the logistics of Guild Operations and other ranking members of the Guild, and abuse will be punished.
Leadership cannot propose measures to be voted on in Council, or vote individually. Instead they have 1 collective vote that is only used in the event of a tie in council voting.
Kin:
Senior Guild Members: The primary role of Senior members of the Guild is to organize raiding parties, dungeon-crawls, spice-harvesting missions, and basically help people in the Guild with similar goals group-up together to complete them. Most importantly everyone should be having fun! Should an over-arching goal for the Guild be set during a Council meeting, Seniors may be asked by Leadership to assist with carrying it out but are not obligated to take part.

Has full rights in Council to vote on and propose measures. May also offer advice to Leadership in their decisions regarding logistics and large-scale operations.
Friend:
Full Members: Access to all common resources and facilities controlled by the guild. Has the right to vote on proposed measures in the bi-monthly council, and propose measures for the council to vote on (may not propose the same measure twice in a row).
Has full rights in Council to vote on and propose measures.
Guest:
Probationary Members: People who have yet to prove their loyalty to the guild, and who do not have full access to the resources and facilities. Also used on a Temporary basis for friends and allies of the guild who need shelter.
Has no rights in Council to vote on and propose measures.
Guild Lore
"The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it. We must move with the flow of the process. We must join it. We must flow with it." - Jamis
“Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's incomplete and saying: 'Now, it's complete because it's ended here.'" - Speaker Unknown
