I am very excited to announce our new leadership for Darkfall. It's an excellent group! Each person has given above and beyond for this faction and are highly qualified. They will be our leaders starting out, and as we continue to grow and evolve, we will promote more leaders who show potential.
Keep in mind that a lot of thought went into this. There are a lot of you who have helped a lot and were given a great deal of consideration. You are still on our radar, and we have a list of people we are looking at for the very near future. It also does not hurt to shoot me a PM letting me know you are interested and that you will have the time available. Some of you who are more than qualified we just aren't sure can put forth the time right now. Anyway, without further delay, I want to introduce you to our leadership!
SUPREME GENERALS
Supreme Generals have complete control over the guild. There is not much room for promotion here. Right now it is reserved for the leader and the second-in-command.
Tbone - Tbone is your leader. This is pretty self explanatory!
Broin - Broin is the second-in-command. Extremely loyal and intelligent, his opinion is valued not only by me, but by pretty much every member of our guild. He's well known for often being the bad cop to my good cop, but never in an ill-spirited way.
GENERALS
Generals have a great deal of control over the guild. They can declare war, siege a city, withdraw from the bank, edit members, etc. Those who have been with us for a while, you can compare them to Captains of our Matrix days. Only the most trusted and level-headed have the capacity to be Generals. They are in charge when the Supreme Generals are not around.
Adad - Adad has always been a loyal and active member of FA. He's given so much without ever asking anything in return. Most recently he worked almost non-stop to create our recruitment content. Adad was also a KEY player in Beta, gathering data and helping every day to make things easier for all of us on launch. He's very friendly and approachable!
Lithium - Lithium provides nearly all of our resources. Our website, Teamspeak, and nearly everything else...Lithium controls it all. In his younger days Lithium ironically got off to a rocky start with FA, but he's proven himself time and time again and is trusted with everything we have. He does much more than provide resources, however. Lithium is active every day, helping with just about anything and everything. He'll be the first to admit that he's not the most approachable person, but he knows what needs to get done and how to do it!
ManicVelocity - Manic has been a long-time loyal FA member. He's one of the few who has actually met me in person! The only thing he loves more than the Matrix is probably FA. He was always a solid soldier in MxO, doing what needed to be done and doing it with a smile. He's got passion matched with intelligence - a great combination!
MAJORS
Majors are an important part of organizing in game. They head up teams of members and keep things in order when the other leaders are not around. They have a good bit of control over the guild in game. They are the first ones that Generals and Supreme Generals look to to help get things done. You could compare them to First Mates in MxO, but in reality they have a lot more weight to them than the First Mates did. Majors are also candidates for promotion to General
Anamodiel (Recruitment Officer) - Most people consider Anamodiel one of the friendliest and positive people in FA. This makes him the perfect fit for our recruitment officer! Often times he'll be the public face of FA to our recruits, and he'll play an essential role in the success of the guild. His helpfulness extends beyond recruitment, however, as he has proven to always be there on the battlefield in game. Anamodiel was very young when he joined, but he's a perfect example of how hard work and patience can earn you the utmost respect in a community of mainly older members.
Bellthazor - Bellthazor has had a long reputation of working hard for the guild without requiring recognition in return. In our MxO days, Bellthazor gladly captained our training ship, a temporary place for our new recruits to get their footing while they were evaluated. While the ship wasn't as famous as our ships with permanent crew members, Bellthazor selflessly led it, sacrificing being associated with a ship with more prestige. His selflessness is a good example of what a leader should be - a servant to the community that needs them.
Jeyk - Jeyk is another who has met me in person! He's had a good deal of leadership experience captaining the Evigilos in MxO. He's dependable and loyal, sticking with us through the good and the bad. He always keeps a level head and a chill attitude. He's not looking for the limelight - he just wants to help the best that he can!

That settles it. I want Tbone to speak at my funeral.

Thank you so much for this honor. I will do everything in my power to assist in running this amazing group of individuals that, together, make the most successful, honorable, and tight-knit faction/guild ever to game together. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we will need the help of ALL our members to maintain that success and honor we have created for ourselves and continue it into the world of Darkfall. So I hope everyone is ready to dive into this game and to reach the top, because that's all we know, and all we do. Thank you guys.

congratulations to all the new officers (and indeed those that remained!). Richly deserved for you all, nice one.

I read the title and thought
UHMEGAWD! MUTINYZ!

Excellent choices Tbone! And congratulations guys you all deserve it.

Ok, I updated it with complete descriptions. Sorry I ran out of time last night. I'm also working to get the ranks official on our site. The ranking system is giving me a bit of trouble, but we hope to have it resolved tonight.
-
what you must all understand however is Evigilos FTMFW....
As a kind of related question (apologies if asked, and dealt with, elsewhere) will we still have ships/ fixed teams?
-
As of right now, no. If we find that it makes things easier to be organized into pre-determined units, then maybe in the future. Right now we're working towards all of us operating as one, however.
-
I feel truly humbled and honored to be given this chance by Tbone and by everyone in the faction. I hope that, in our endeavors in-game, on the forums, and in Teamspeak, we will all strive to be the very best that we can be. I am very excited for the prospects of all of my future responsibilities and can't wait for us to get in-game and show all those other factions who the most organized faction really is.
Again, thank you for this opportunity.

Congratulations to the new officials!
To the old ones... No one cares! :p:D

Not even a medal.

I verbally congratz'ed the new leadership members, but I will also put in my two cents here.
Congrats gentlemen. With great power comes great responsibility......./snicker. (as cheesy as it sounds, it is true and I know you guys will be successful leaders as long as you keep that in mind.)
-
Congrats to all!! Very well deserved.
-
Lol I don’t know whether Gratz or commiserations is in order, all I know is responsibility = work.
If you’ve been given position it tells me that ether Tbone has no ability to judge someone well, or your all good peeps that deserve the extra work.... err i mean opportunity. Until proven otherwise I’m pickin your all good sorts. So good on ya guys. Keep up the good work.
-
Congratulations, guys!
I didn't think I could possibly be more AMPED for release! Now all this stuff is falling into place and it's obvious, even to our newest members, that everything is very well organized for release!
On a 1-100 scale, I can honestly quantify my excitement at about a 96 right now! I just need the torrent to finish downloading!
