Some of you have noticed by now that with work, moving, and other RL considerations, lately we, the officers, have not been able to commit the time and resources required to keep the guild running smoothly. To rectify this situation, we have decided that we need to add another officer to our ranks. After much discussion we have decided to depart from our traditional method of officer selection. We considered many options, including selecting the longest standing members in the guild, voting among the guild members, or selecting those who have been officers in other guilds.<br>
<br>
In the end, we decided that none of these methods would embody a truly fair selection process. Furthermore, any new officer would be facing the same possibility of getting bogged down in guild administration and burning out or losing their enjoyment of the game. Only one method addressed both of these problems at once.<br>
<br>
And so, it is my pleasure to announce the Officer of the Month Club. Each month, on the first of the month, all interested guild members should gather in PoK at 9PM EST. At that time, we will /rand among all Temerity members present to select a new officer for that month. You do not have the option of declining; if you do not want to risk becoming an officer, we recommend that you not be in PoK at that time. Note that you may be Officer of the Month multiple times, but not in two consecutive months.<br>
<br>
The Officer of the Month will have all the responsibilities and privileges of a regular officer. In addition, we have created the following benefits:<br>
<ul>
<li>You may use the /shout channel on raids. We ask that you restrict cyber to tells (or /gu, if you really have to share), though obviously, we will not enforce this.</li>
<li>You or an alt of your choice may be PLed one (1) post-60 level, two (2) pre-60 levels, or five (5) AAs, your choice.</li>
<li>Once per month, you may call "dibs" on one loot drop. This item then becomes yours. Note that you may use this privilege for your main or an alt, but only once total, not once per character.</li>
<li>/tell Kyth Badger</li>
<li>You may /guildremove one Temerity member of your choice. You must /guildinvite this person again at the end of the month.</li>
<li>You may create a custom title for yourself, such as "Your Lordship" or "Your Most Holy and Invincible Majesty, Master of All He Surveys". All members must address you in-game by this title. Anyone who does not will lose attendance credit for all raids that week.</li>
<li>You may add one (1) question to the Temerity application for your month. Applicants who do not answer that question to your liking will not be considered for membership. (e.g. "Should Eildar get ALL phat lewt dropped on raids?")</li>
<li>No cyber from Spinjas.</li>
