I'm putting together the roster system and need to put in place ranks. Please note the distinction between the role titles in the actual in-world group and the ranking that will be maintained on the web-based roster system. We only need a handful of titles in the groups and tracking of a character's career path inside the hospital will happen through the roster.
Proposed Ranks
LEVEL 4:
Chief of Staff (HGH Administrator)
LEVEL 3:
Department Head (HGH Doctor / Psychiatrist / Nurse)
LEVEL 2:
Physician (HGH Doctor)
Psychiatrist (HGH Psychiatrist)
Senior Nurse (HGH Nurse)
LEVEL 1:
Resident (HGH Doctor)
Nurse (HGH Nurse)
Mortician (HGH Mortician)
STARTING LEVEL:
Intern (HGH Staff)
Nurse Tech (HGH Staff)
Mortician Tech (HGH Staff)
Joining the Group
Any member whose application has been accepted in the main RP group will be able to join the hospital staff after 72 hrs of the acceptance date. If they try to join before that, they will be instructed to RP w/ staff to learn about the various career paths and see if the job is really what the character would want to apply for.
When the 72 hr hold has passed, they will be able to click on a board and select the career path they want to begin. When selected, their career path will be marked on the roster and they will receive an immediate invite to the group with a generic "HGH Staff" title.
Promotions
STARTING LEVEL >> LEVEL 1: Must assist in X amount of cases w/ Level 1+ staff members. Though starting employees won't have access to create charts, they can be mentioned under the "participating staff" section on the chart. When mentioned a certain number of times, they will automatically be promoted in the roster system and assigned the role in the in-world group.
LEVEL 1 >> LEVEL 2: Must write or assist in X amount of cases. Promotion will not be automated; a Level 4 staff member will be alerted of eligibility and will have discretion whether to promote or not.
LEVEL 2 >> LEVEL 3: Must be regularly active, helpful, and display leadership qualities both IC and OOC. Up to Administrator.
Abilities
Below is a list of cascading abilities:
STARTING LEVEL: Can use HGH group chat and be mentioned as a participant in charts. Can read chart of active hospitalized patient laying in a recovery bed.
LEVEL 1: Write and read charts.
LEVEL 2: View activity reports.
LEVEL 3: Promote Level 1 to Level 2 on roster and in in-world group.
LEVEL 4: Promote all levels and group titles.
Final Notes
Current members will be assigned a rank that represents their current status in the hospital (bug Lance about it). Basically, you won't have to start over! The laptop/computer objects inside the hospital will be scripted to launch the roster and activity reports. The system will be secured based on your avatar's rank.
This system will be rolled out as soon as you see the chart system introduced officially in the next couple of days. In the meantime, please provide feedback! I'll make adjustments if needed.
