Guilds/SA Waterworks/Expectations

Proposed Expectations and Rules

These are the expectations and rules of SA Waterworks.

1. This is a drama free zone! Drama will not be tolerated.

2. Contributions towards the building of the pump, towers, and upgrades will earn the contributor points.

Stay tuned for a detailed point system - see Aplus for a preview.

3. Guild hierarchy and structure

• The guild will be only 20 individuals at a time. Selected organizers will be Patriarchs, while all other contributors will be Members (all individuals within the guild will have an equal opportunity to build a tower in the order based on their point contribution regardless of their Guild membership status). The entire 20 individual group will collect the materials to build either the pump and 20 towers, or if a pump already exists, the materials to raise existing towers and build an additional 20 towers for themselves.
• During the building of the pump, Elders of SA Waterworks are also considered Patriarchs.
• All pump/towers/upgrades will be built after all materials have been collected by the 20 individual group.
• Each individual claims one tower position. Individuals may opt to build in a position before others in the build order based on whether their collected points (earned from contributions) are higher or not. e.g., the more contributions an individual makes, the more points they will earn, the earlier they may build in the build order. If an individual passes on their right to build a tower before other members (assuming they have earned more points than the other members), they may build a tower at any point in the tower order beyond their forgone position.
• Once all pump/towers/upgrades have been built, the Patriarchs of the SA Waterworks will actively recruit suitable Patriarchs to take their position as Patriarchs from outside the Guild. Once this is done, the new Patriarchs will actively recruit new individuals to form a new 20 individual group for the next set of towers/upgrades.
• At this point, previous Patriarchs and Members are considered retired. Retired Members may quit the guild, or if they wish to remain in the guild for the social atmosphere or advisory roles, they may be moved to Associate status. Retired Patriarchs (other than Elders) will be demoted to Fellow if they choose to stay in the guild. Elders will remain in their role so that SA Waterworks to manage memberships, and will advise new members when possible.
• All Guild-owned warehouses except the Membership Fee Warehouse will be Take for Patriarchs, and Stash by Members. The Membership Fee Warehouse will be stash by Public, and Take by Patriarchs.
