With the recent reform, we've given much more responsibility and power to our medium ranks. As such, we have new guidelines and instructions for each of them. Remember that ALL of these ranks have equal power. Switching from one to another is NOT at all like a promotion or a demotion.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ░▐█▀▀█▌░▐█▀▀░▐█▀▀░▐██░▐█▀█░▐█▀▀░▐█▀▀▄ ░▐█▄░█▌░▐█▀▀░▐█▀▀─░█▌░▐█──░▐█▀▀░▐█░▐█ ░▐██▄█▌░▐█──░▐█──░▐██░▐█▄█░▐█▄▄░▐█▀▄▄ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Many of you might consider immediately switching from same-old-same old Officer to a new job as Philosopher or Captain. However, the roles of officers will be expanded too.
Officers will be the behind-the-scenes workers of UCR. Officers will be encouraged to constantly contact various high ranks with ideas and plans and will be given the resources to see these plans come into action. Additionally, at High Rank meetings, if a high rank clears it and there is server room, officers will be allowed to attend.
Additionally, we are considering a return to the UCR Reinvention Reform (which is viewable on the UCRCentral page) that will make officers essentially "Eligible Contractors." If we can get ORION up to 3000 place visits per week, we will enact many activity-based reforms that will greatly affect the rank of Officer.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ░▐█▀█░▐█░▐█░▐██░██───░▐█▀▀█▌░▄█▀▀█░▐█▀▀█▌░▐█▀█░▐█░▐█░▐█▀▀░▐█▀▀▄ ░▐█▄█░▐████─░█▌░██───░▐█▄░█▌░▀▀█▄▄░▐█▄░█▌░▐█▄█░▐████░▐█▀▀░▐█░▐█ ░▐█──░▐█░▐█░▐██░██▄▄█░▐██▄█▌░█▄▄█▀░▐██▄█▌░▐█──░▐█░▐█░▐█▄▄░▐█▀▄▄ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The role of Philosophers is to mentor UCR low ranks. Philosophers are important for UCR because, like in any family, one must enjoy the clan at its heart, the social aspect. Practically, this role helps increase member retention and overall ability.
What you want to do, then, is look for some intermediates or intrepids who are online and then message them asking if you could mentor them. You should try to end up with between 5-10 students. At the end of the day, PM me their names. The names will be added to a database that Philosophers can view and make sure they aren't spamming intermediates who have already signed up with another leader.
As a mentor, you should check up on your students every day. Feel free to include anything you want in the message. Ask about what they accomplished that day or if they have any questions. Teach them skills about leadership and tell stories about your time in UCR.
Once a week, submit a PM to me so that I can follow up on your personal progress as a teacher. Remember that your promotion to Low or High council is dependent upon impressing ME.
If one of your students goes inactive for a week or more, let me know immediately and I will clear you to choose another.

As many have excitedly discovered, the rank of Captain gives medium ranks shouting powers in UCR. Already, a number of officers have applied to switch here. However, let me remind any and all members applying for this position that, while this rank gives military authority, there are also military-like discipline codes.
Captains may shout for trainings, patrols, and defends ONLY. There are no exceptions. Captains also are limited to one shout per day except in the event of an emergency call for defense.
Captains are allowed to call training at any place made by a medium rank or higher, and, with permission, can hold training elsewhere. Captains are also allowed to shout to defend allies.
These members have been given shout powers in the hopes that increased shouting will lead to increased activities and benefit UCR in the long term and the short term.

Thanks for reading, and I hope you like these reforms. -TD |

| Because unlike other clans we actually have the brainpower to make something organized out of all of them. |

| I think to avoid confusion, Philosopher should be changed to 'Mentor,' 'Advisor,' or 'Guide.' Philosophers in Ancient Greece did not show others the way, they were those who pondered philosophical questions. Philosophy does not equal guiding the low ranks. |

| Mentor and guide dont sound very catchy, and advisor implies assisting someone of higher status q.q |

Hey, here I am, being one of the first of the officers to do our new duty, pitching ideas.
'Philosopher' sounds plain retarded. Excuse this TD, but it shows a lack of knowledge of the word 'philosophy.' Greek philosophers didn't just show greek society the way, they pondered about existence and reality, you know, philosophy. Google it, you'll get it.
Naming a rank because of one of their minor duties performed by historical positions would be like naming the intrepid rank Janitor. Because in 1859 the whitehouse had a few janitors. And those janitors served the President. Just like the Intrepids serve the UCR president. See my logic?
It's embarrassing, almost, but blah, I'm complaining about something that doesn't matter much. I realize the text art logos for those ranks took you a while, but please just do your clan a favor and rename the Philosopher rank. |

Clans have ridiculous latin ranks that translate incorrectly and you're up in arms because of your narrow interpretation of the meaning of philosopher?
Philosophers taught -society- by exploring truth and disseminating these ideas. They didn't teach one-on-one like we are having them do now, but the same simple idea is present. The rank name embodies the essence of intelligence.
All-in-all, it's a creative name and it suits its role. Intrepid means "adventurous." Why can't we name this rank Philosopher? |

| I like the ideas of the new rank because somepeople may not like officer as much as Philospher or Captain. |
