Trial
Anyone who commits a crime in the guild is subject to trial EXCEPT if your crime was witnessed by the GM or Quartermaster, then you are subject to IMMEDIATE punishment.

How Trial works- The trials are simple. The GM or QM shall act as judge and keep order in the court and hand down punishment. The Defense is the accused and their Defense Attorney. The Prosecution is an Officer of the guild, unless the Defendant is an officer, in which case it shall be the GM or Qm, whichever is not acting as teh judge. The jury shall consist of nine people, three members, three veterans, and three officers.

The trial shall begin by the prosecution reciting the type of crime. The prosecution will then call up at least one witness, and no more than three. After this is done, the defense shall call up their witnesses, no less than one, no more than three. If either side objects to the witnesses testimony, they may object, and the objection will be discussed further. After both sides have shown their witnesses. The jury shall give a guilty or not guilty verdict and the judge shall hand down a punishment he finds worthy.

Ranks
The Guildmaster- Edgar Wildrat- His word is law but his powers are equal to the Quartmaster's except in time of combat, in which he reigns supreme.

The Quartermaster- JIm Bloodsilver- His powers are equal to the GM, except in times of battle, in which the GM is supreme. Handles day to day affairs. Also, complaints should go to the QM, not the GM.

Heads of Branches- The heads of each branch are equal to each other, less powerful than teh GM and QM, but more powerful than normal officers. To become a head of a branch, talk to the QM. There are two spots currently open. You do not need to be an officer to become a head of a branch, but being a head will make you an officer if you are not already one.

Officers- Officership can be attained by anyone level 30 or above, anyone who has Mastered one skill (fishing and potions do not count,), becoming the Head of a Branch or someone who has done six services( Jury Duty or anything else the GM or QM deems a service)

Veteran- Open to anyone level 15 or above, anyone who has gotten to level 20 on a skill (Fishing and potions do not count), or someone who has done two services (Jury Duty or anything else the GM or QM deems a service.)

Member- Member is open to anyone who has signed the Articles.

Anyone who fulfills the requirements is subject to automatic ranking, unless they have been found guilty of a crime, in which the GM has the right to not rank you up.
