Important! Changes to the tribe structure!

[Kozgugore]

Many of you were there, but no doubt there may be some questions or people who didn't manage to attend the meeting that announced several changes in the tribe's system and hierarchy. Here follows a list, kept simple for your reading enjoyment, with all the vital changes that you will want to know if you're a part of the tribe:

Applicants:
- From now on, every member of the tribe above the rank of New Blood is able to interview applicants (ICly). As soon as you believe the applicant is good enough to join our tribe after a bit of introductory RP, you're free to introduce the applicant to any elder (Rrosh-tul, Thur'ruk, Varog'Gor, High Blade, Chieftain) who will do the IC inviting and explain any IC or OOC rules to the applicant.
- The one doing the interview is recommended (so not required) to be the New Blood's tutor as well, should they wish to do so. This makes the process of finding a tutor a little smoother.

New Blood Training:
- The New Blood training process will be changing slightly. Tutors are still able to give tasks, but they will have to be tasks suited  to the orc and not aimed towards finding out basic or general info about the tribe (for more on this, see the next point). For every task completed, a Mark of the Red Blade will be handed out as a reward. Collect three of these marks, and you will have earned the privilege of presenting these to the Chieftain in order to receive your Oath of Blood!
- The more menial tasks, like finding out what each rank means, what the tribe means to every orc, etc., will be taken care of on New Blood Trainings. These will hopefully be held more regularly, and can be hosted by any orc above the rank of New Blood at their own leisure.
- Marks of the Red Blade can be given either by tutor or officer when performing an admirable task during events or the like as well. Of course, only one should be given per feat or performance, so make sure not to have both give one for the same performance!
- The Marks of the Red Blade will be custom-made, and are basically a specific bone with the tribe's insignia carved into it. Fakes should be able to be recognized this way, and any orcs found cheating with their share of marks, will instantly be demoted, if not exiled altogether. If you're a tutor, you're free to just RP having these in your possession for whenever you may need one.

Ranks:
- An honorary rank by the name of "Alpha" has been introduced. These apply to the ranks of Nag'Ogar and Gosh'kar so far, though can be expanded to any other of the higher ranks if we see anyone deserving of it. The Alpha is basically an example to the rest of the corresponding rank, and can be considered the first in line of that rank (so the Nag'Ogar Alpha would be underneath the Rrosh-tul, but above the Nag'Ogar). At some times, the Alpha title can be considered as a stepping stone to another, higher rank as well.
- A new rank will be introduced soon. Keep an eye out!
