πŸŽ– Pax Mercatura Guild Structure

In Pax Mercatura, the spirit of ancient Rome and the unwavering discipline of the U.S. Marine Corps fuse into an unparalleled guild framework. Our structureβ€”meticulously crafted for precision, accountability, and sustained operational excellenceβ€”is defined by two complementary elements: Rank to confer authority, and Billet to delineate responsibility. Together, these pillars create a disciplined, efficient, and eminently fair organization where merit governs advancement and clarity drives success.


πŸ… Rank Hierarchy

Our ranks embody a proud tradition, fostering disciplined leadership, unwavering commitment, and steadfast loyalty essential to the guild’s enduring success:

Stars Rank Title Function & Prestige
β˜… Tiro Recruit Initiates undergoing rigorous assessment for loyalty, potential, and adherence to guild ethos.
β˜…β˜… Miles Member Proven contributors, reliably active in missions, logistics, and economic strategies.
β˜…β˜…β˜… Immunes Specialist Elite guild members holding specialized billets, significantly involved in recruitment, training, and operational management.
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Centurio Officer Seasoned leaders entrusted with strategic oversight, diplomatic relations, discipline, and cohesive guild coordination.
β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… Legatus Guildmaster Supreme authority; architect of guild policy, strategic direction, and operational excellence.

Advancement within ranks is stringent, objectively evaluated through documented contributions, DKP performance, exemplary leadership, and rigorous adherence to guild standards.


🧾 Billet System

Billets represent specific, crucial duty assignments awarded based on expertise, reliability, and demonstrated capability. Centurios vigilantly assign, manage, and reassess billets to ensure maximum operational efficiency and performance:

Billet Title Assigned Rank(s) Role & Responsibilities
Quaestor Immunes, Centurio Oversees guild vendor pricing, executes precise audits, ensures stringent market compliance.
Actuarius Centurio Manages guild treasury, coordinates DKP awards, ensures meticulous internal financial discipline.
Speculator Miles, Immunes Collects vital market intelligence, tracks economic trends, identifies high-value arbitrage opportunities.
Praefectus Immunes Directs guild crafting operations, enforces stringent quality standards, manages efficient production workflows.
Legatus Populi Centurio Chief diplomat, adeptly negotiates treaties, manages inter-guild relations, and resolves disputes decisively.

Billet holders report directly to their supervising Centurio and undergo regular performance evaluations to maintain peak efficiency and adaptability to evolving operational demands.


πŸ’¬ Discord Role Integration

Our structured ranks seamlessly integrate into Discord, fostering clear communication, streamlined operations, and controlled access to essential guild information:

Discord Role In-Game Rank Channel Access & Privileges
Tiro Recruit Restricted, evaluative channels for new recruits
Miles Member Standard operational guild channels
Immunes Specialist Extensive access to trade, economic planning, and specialized billet operations
Centurio Officer Leadership and strategic planning channels; heightened operational privileges
Legatus Guildmaster Ultimate administrative authority, reserved exclusively for Deeds
Diplomat None Specialized Discord-only role for managing external diplomacy and guild communications

Billet assignments are meticulously tracked within the dedicated #ranks-and-billets Discord channel or an external registry, clearly distinguished from Discord roles.


πŸ“ˆ Advancement Process

Pax Mercatura employs a transparent, meritocratic advancement system designed to reward genuine contribution, exceptional leadership, and steadfast dedication:

  • Meticulous documentation of DKP contributions and active participation in guild missions
  • Demonstrable leadership capability, proactive initiative, and mature discretion
  • Impeccable professional conduct within Discord interactions and in-game operations
