Ave' X~Legion. Here is the hopefully completed version of the reforms that are scheduled to be instituted on Friday or Saturday.
These reforms will be introducing one of the most individual, personal based, and organized systems on ROBLOX. The goals of these are to make X~Legion feel as closely as possible to a real Roman Legion. Of course we are not able to support 6K active people so certain elements of the Legion will be reduced such as only starting out with three cohorts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Structure Change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Firstly, the biggest change will be how the rank structure is. The ranks will still stay the same. When a Tiro joins X~Legion and when he is at the end of the Miles test, there will be 6 doors (However many doors per Centurion). Each door says the name of each Centurion. The person then chooses one of the doors (doesn't matter which one), and then receives the badge which would say something like, "Miles Test Complete: Grimy12's Century" after he went into the door that said Grimy12. Then, there will be a message at the end to contact Grimy about being promoted to Miles. From there, Grimy promotes the Tiro to a Miles and assigns the now Miles into one of Grimy's Contubernium (tents).
Explaining the tent: Basically, the tent is a group of maximum 8 people lead by a Decanus or Tesserarius. The Tesserarius is a promoted version of the Decanus. The Decanus would train the people in his tent on an unofficial basis, keep them updated on things they don't know, etc.
Each Centurion owns a Century which is made up of 8 tents maximum. The Centurion doesn't have to use all 8 tents at once, that is just a maximum.
In a Century, there's a Centurion commanding it, and the second in command, the Optio. Also, there should always be a Signifer in a Century. Alphablackout would assign a Signifer into each Century. On the st3am forum, there is now a Century discussion tab. The centurion would post things such as who's in his Century, what the tents are doing in it, and just an overall summary about things in it. Also, the Decanii have permission to post on it too and say what they did with their tent.
From there, I will assign two Centurions for now, into a Cohort, which will make a total of 3 current Cohorts. A cohort is doesn't have MUCH purpose at the moment except for RP and maybe cohort battles at some point. No one leads a Cohort but is kept running smoothly by each Legatus and his Tribunus. Also, the Cohorts will NOT be designated to people of a certain skillset. Each cohort is open.
Also, Aquilifer, Signifer, Optio, Tesserarius, and Decanus are all considered as an NCO, non-commissioned officer. I guess ya'll could see that as an MR.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stating rank ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an idea as of right now, but maybe we should have it that when an HR asks for one's rank, they state their rank, name,and then Cohort. Example would be Legio Epicroman1231, III Cohort.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miles Test Update ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Secondly, we're going to be bringing back the Miles test soon! The test will be very similar to the other one however it will require a bit of studying from our upcoming library. The library will house all sorts of information from Strageath Weapons, to XL history, to XL rules. The Miles test will still mainly be an informational kind of test.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Slave Reforms ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The slave system is now being redone. Being made a slave is preferred over demotion by the way. Instead of a slave waiting until his time is done, they will have to WORK their punishment off. These punishments include: Cutting down trees at Strageath, doing Strageath laps, making an outpost at Strageath, providing a taxi service at Strageath, and being target practice for pila vollies. There will be a slave forum on st3am so the HRs know what punishment each person has. After they finish their slave labor, they will have their rank restored unless otherwise indicated. Slave labor FTW.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Updated formations and Commands ~~~~~~~
I finally decided to get rid of a few of the formations that we never used. Yes, they added a roman feeling sense in being able to form them, but they proved useless as no one used them. Three formations have been removed: orb, X, and box. However, we will be adding at least one more new one and multiple chat commands. These will all be at my formation place.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Upcoming Strageath Updates ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, I have a few things coming up. Depending if I can get them to work or not is the issue though ;). (Jk don't worry)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Summary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SO, with all this in hand, I am open to any questions you may have. Feel free to ask if something I wrote wasn't clear or any other questions.
I'd like more of you guys to get St3am accounts, at least Centurion+ and Optio should and I really hope Decanii and Tesserarii will get them too, at least if they own a tent.
In the next few days, I will be assigning each person their Cohort, Century, and/or Contubernium. Does anyone have any specific person they want to be under command of? Do you Centurions have any Cohort preference?
So again, feel free to ask any questions. Also, I probably randomly forgot something and will have to post it later in the forum .-.

Optio is bound to the Cent that chose him/her.

| I was planning on making you Tesserarius in the meantime. Actually, I know Alpha is getting some Signiferi so maybe you could contact him about the position. |
