What's more Medieval than chess?

[rantus]

Remember this is a guild we're talking about, not a nation. I don't think a guild would have a King or Emperor, it doesn't sound right to me.

Perhaps:
Page, Squire, Knight, High Knight, Captain, Grand Captain/Commander etc

maybe someone can help me also with some rank names. My guild is new and called Ambition of the Reckless so far trying to come up with something unusual or different has eluded me. Thanks in advance

Keep it simple.

Rank 1 = One Douchiest
Rank 2 = Two Douchier
Rank 3 = Three Douche
Rank 4 = Four Average
Rank 5 = Five Above Average

To be honest i havent thought of that rank name haha

[Halicia]

Baron, Count, Duke, King, Emperor. (and hey, you can even do gender-specific too)

11. Pissboy

One guild I was in had a similar rank, "kusenkantaja", literally "bearer of piss". IIRC the rank was given to the person who was or used to be responsible for recruiting. Don't ask why, I don't know, but I guessed he was not very proficient in finding good recruits

OT: If you want to go for military ranks, the peon/peasant, soldier, sergeant, captain, commander would probably work, whereas if you like civilian ranks, the "apprentice, craftsman, journeyman" thing kind of reminds the wow professions a bit too much. Maybe go with the different classes of people, like peasant, citizen, craftsman, military, aristocrat? And something like "Great and Lovable Leader" for yourself (guessing you are GM).

[eschatological]

I gave my alt guild ranks as outlined by Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. From highest to lowest:

1 The Chaucer
2 Parson
3 Manciple
4 Canon's Yeoman
5 Second Nun
6 Nun's Priest
7 Monk
8 Melibee
9 Sir Thopas
10 Prioress

Frankly, I wish there were more ranks so I could get ranks in like "Wife of Bath," "Reeve," and "Man of Law." Life is cruel, though. The ranks confuse people, but it's worth it for the pretentious feeling I get for having made the names up.
