Officers are expected to uphold the Guild Charter at all times. They must represent the best of Marked Souls when in public and lead by example for all other guild members to follow.

• Officers report directly to the Council and Guild Leader.
• Officers must take an active role in the position they support within the guild. Officers who fail to contribute will be demoted to regular member status and a new Officer will be elected.
• Officers are required to be active in game. Failure to be active for more than one week will result in a prompt demotion. Demotions can be avoided if the absence is discussed prior to inactivity.
• Officers are required to be active on the website. Failure to be active in the appropriate forums such as Officer Discussion will result in a single warning followed by a prompt demotion on the second offense.
• Officers should be helpful to guild members and be willing to assist whenever possible. Officers should also take time to help instruct new members on proper game play within the guild.
• When assisting members on a mission, Officers should allow the members to actually do the bulk of the mission and lead it as well. Officers should take a back seat on these types of missions, even if it results in the death of the player. This is the only way you can actually learn how to play the game as intended. **NOTE: Survivor characters are the exception.
• Officers should take immediate action when a member is in violation of the Charter. A verbal or written warning can be issued to the member at the Officer’s discrepancy. All violations should be reported via the Officer’s forum.

Officer Promotions

Members must have been with the guild for a minimum of 90 days to be eligible for an Officer Role. Exceptions to the 90 day obligation can be made at the Guild Officers’ discretion.

The following details the process of a Guild Officer promotion:

1. When a position becomes available, it will be announced on the website.
2. Member will be given a set period of time to apply for the position.
3. Once the call for applications has closed, Officers will review the applications and reject or approve based on the member’s standing in the guild, past history with the guild, conduct, etc.
4. If more than one member is approved for an open position, the winner of the position will be determined by a forum poll in the members section.

All newly elected Officers will undergo a one (1) month probationary period. At the end of the probationary period all other current Officers (including Guild Leader) will determine the status of the said elected officer. Not everyone will make a good officer and leader and even the greatest guild members can make only mediocre officers. The guild strives to place officers in place that will lead Marked Souls towards its goals and preserve our online community.

The Guild Leader has final authority on Officer promotion decisions, and can override Officer votes at his/her discretion.
