Less Ranks!
RANKS
We have some changes that have to be announced in regards to our contractor structure. Previously, Theseus used military ranks and as a way to note level of training. Although a traditional military hierarchy makes sense given the nature of our operations, it's not realistic to have as contractors. Ranks have been removed for realism reasons and are replaced by a custom contractor hierarchy.
Expanding on this we've come up with the following five ranks that will replace all current ones:
- Recruit (R) - New candidate on a 2 week/contracts trial period
- Junior Contractor (JC) - Contractor in training
- Contractor (C) - Trained contractor
- Senior Contractor (SC) - Contractor with leadership training
- Staff (S) - Board of Directors personnel
- Archivist (A) - Merit rank, ex-members with great contributions
New images have been created for this by Krestoffer Kresky and are applied on TeamSpeak:
The term rank will still be used as, to note any of the above positions. They will display seniority and time put into Theseus, with minor exceptions for Senior Contractor, additionally denoting ability to lead a team, and Staff.
Some members might find themselves in the Contractor category even though they were Specialists previously. We will be evaluating leadership ability in the coming weeks and establish a proper roster of members willing and able to lead a team.
With those changes, most Certifications and Licences become available to Contractor rank (previously Specialist or more). Only exception currently being Grenade Launchers.
All certificates and licences are now field renewable as long as you are active and are using the given assets (otherwise re-training or running the course again is required). Launchers licence was additionally changed to a certificate with longer expiration time and less bonus payment (more details will be available later once the course is finalized).
BOD PERSONNEL CHANGES
Cory Larose has recently taken a step back from his Directors seat mainly due to time constraints. He will remain a member of the board until further notice.
The remainder of the BoD has recently promoted our own Krestoffer Kresky and Kelly Gingras to fully qualified board directors. Both parties have shown exceptional dedication and thrive to constantly provide and improve content for Theseus.
The decision was overdue to re-establish more staff and we're very glad to have them on board!
