Guild Tasks and Points System

Remember those days...
When you had to update a project every two minutes to track guild member
advancement?
Be concerned with who had access to said project?
Worry about your task completion getting lost because your old proctors
just up and went to sleep?
Or a proctor forgetting to update the project?
Or not knowing if you got all your points or how many times you might
have completed a task?

NO MORE!!

We bring you the new Guild Tasks and Points System! It was created with
overworked guild leaders and ambitious, rising guild members in mind.

The new guild tasks and points system allows guild leaders and
privilege-invested position holders to create a set list of tasks for
guild members to complete to earn for points. They are also empowered to
award manual points for reasons above and beyond the task list as
needed.
o Individuals with the "Tasks" privilege can manage and maintain the
guild's task list, as well as set thresholds for promotion
notifications. (See HELP GUILDTASKS)
o Individuals with the "Promote" privilege can award or remove points
from other members of the guild. (See HELP AWARDINGPOINTS)

For guilds who have tasks to complete a certain quest, you can associate
quests to guild tasks. This means, if a member who qualifies for that
guild task (based on the set path or rank requirements), completes the
indicated quest, they will automatically earn the points! Players do not
need to manually track down and try to "prove" a member completed a
quest or not. The "quest tracker" sees all and awards the efforts of the
brave!

Now the big question, how does my guild get access to it?
You've got it! Every guild has access automatically. Though guild
leaders can manage tasks by default, they will need to make a GUILD
REQUEST to have the new "tasks" privilege added to any positions they
deem appropriate. Note: Tasks privilege is NOT investible to ranks, only
positions.

In summary:
Guild members will now have a real-time, up-to-date record of all the
points you have earned in your time with the guild, as well as who
awarded them to you.

Guild leaders no longer need to worry if a task was recorded or awarded
and have greater peace of mind that record-keeping just got a whole lot
easier.

New help files have been added to explain the new system's commands and
syntax in more detail:

Enjoy and happy paperworking!
