The Imperium has a spot to accommodate everyone, from those willing to work for the brighter future of the Imperium, to those just seeking shelter and protection without wanting to commit to the greater whole.

 

Residents

Residents are people who wish to benefit from the Imperium's protection without committing to it. They are free to have their own agenda, and just have to pay taxes in order to get a spot of land within Imperial territory and benefit from protection and services from the Imperium. Resident guilds are called Protectorates. More info on Residency here.

Applicants

People who wish to apply to AI submit an application form in a forum; until their application is processed, and they are either rejeceted or moved up to recruit they are referred to as "Applicants"

Recruits

Recruits are potential members who have made it through the first phase of recruitment; however they are still in their trial period and are monitored closely. Recruits have limited forum access, but are expected to participate with the guild through Mumble. A recruit stays a recruit for one week after which they are invited to join the guild fully; or are rejected.

Citizens

Citizens make up the majority of the guild member base; they can be equated to the traditional guild member. Citizens are able to bring up any issues, and are able to take up minor management positions. There are no real restrictions on Citizens so long as their actions are geared to benefit the guild as a whole instead of the self.

Adjutants

These are people who have been chosen or have volunteered themselves to some administrative position, in essence they can be bluntly said to equate to "Officers" in other guilds. All Adjutants are selected by the Guild Founder and usually are responsible for some aspect of the guild. They are expected to guide the guild as well as help new members.They also have the authority to make decisions on behalf of the Guild Founder.
