Well Shadow, as I said in my response to Thrasher, the resets/demotions would possibly happen in cycles, however like I said we would need to make it so that it didn't feel like a sense of achievement was lost. If Shadow did climb the ladder in a year it would be a spectacular feat, as the requirements would get more intense as you climb the level ladder. Heck the jump from Soldier to Captain would require effort. Seeing as you do have a point with templates, I may suggest that we have people(Possibly admins) that judge ranking up based on a guideline instead. This is only because with only one person deciding ranks it can cause long waits. Therefore I propose two options, Templates or Multiple people working around Guidelines/Templates.
The lockout would of course slow down Banshee and others but in the end that is their purpose. Although like I said in my previous point if we have Multiple people working on it they may be able to decide and choose whether or not to hold them back or rank them up given the rate and quality of their achievements. The only reason we have separate point categories are so in case we have a template is that Medics won't be left in the dust.
I am suggesting no restrictions, you put yourself forward, if you gain enough votes from other people to win you get the rank.
We can't exactly remove the leader rank as everyone might declare themselves primes and lead the autobots/decepticons even if they are new. Now, I am aware of the requirement of a 2iC also, but perhaps not a 3iC. This would remove one foothold of power but it's enough. You may argue the point of needing a backup for the backup, but it is unlikely both parties would be away at the same time for long enough to put the armies into disarray.
I see your point with Bruiser being Captain and Head of Engineering, but people like Baku and others were not placed on the rank scheme. However, this argument may be flawed, as I am unaware if Baku got to the highest rank anyone else could get before being pushed to Medic head. If you could inform me of whether or not this did happen I would be very happy. Also, with the current re-boot, Baku was not before seen as an Autobot, so while they plan to make him head of medicine, would this mean that a newcomer to the faction would suddenly get the highest military rank too?
As I said before, please respond with any further questions.
Quick notes: I will add the option between Templates and Multiple People to the main Post.
