Lord Clan Troop and NCO Ranks

When joining the Lord Clan, you start a career which can bring you all the way to the top of the clan. Lord uses a military ranking structure which means there is always someone in charge.

But first things first. Promotions are given as a reward for a number of different things. Sitting around doing not very much, waiting to be promoted is not one of these things. To be promoted quickly, you'll need to show the following qualities, consistently:

- Activity. If you're not around, then you can't be doing anything useful for the clan.

- Determination. Offering help to others, organising clan events and generally working hard at every given chance will always sway a vote in your favour.

- Initiative. If you see room for improvement, talk to an officer about it. If your idea is a good one, then changes will most likely be made, and you'll most likely be rewarded.

- Loyalty. Joining other clans or not wearing the tag won't get you promoted. In fact, you'll be demoted. Or discharged.

- Communication. Show an interest in clan matters by communicating your views on the forum or in xfire, and make a valuable contribution to discussions.

- Leadership. This is most important for the officer ranks, but it applies to every clan member. If you possess this skill then you most likely possess all of the others, so lead away! Be careful, however, that you don't overstep your authority - remember that a higher ranked Lord is always in charge, regardless of their status on the game that you play.

- Membership period. The time you have spent in the clan is used as a guideline for promotion. However, promotions can be fast-tracked if you are performing particularly well, and conversely they will not be awarded if you're not pulling your weight.

To be promoted, you need to make an effort to show that you have all of these skills. If you do this, you won't need to have someone recommend you for promotion, because the officers and NCOs will have already noticed.
