Crew

► To rise in the ranks you have to show Chaos that you've got the drive and ambition, but also the skill to deserve a higher position. This means high activity and working on the skill or skills related to the position you're going for. Remember that IC interaction has a lot to do with it too - if your character goes out of their way to annoy Chaos, or regularly treats other Crew wolves badly, they probably won't get a rank no matter how ambitious and active they are. If it's IC for your character to act badly you have to be prepared to accept the IC consequences of that. Keep in mind though that Chaos isn't really impressed by suck-ups and brown-nosers either! Though he enjoys a good ego stroke, it won't necessarily make for a leadership position.

► If you find yourself in the unenviable position of being Bonded, don't worry! It's not hard to earn your way free of your position. After all, you're in that rank because somehow you've incurred a debt to Crew, so your best and easiest option is to pay that debt off. Depending on the debt, you might have to do more or less than someone else. Escape attempts and bad behavior can also add to your debt so be careful! There are a variety of ways to pay off your debt, but basically anything that benefits the Crew can go towards paying it off. Hunting, collecting herbs, assisting Crew wolves - trustworthy Bondeds might be called on to watch pups or teach lessons, though that sort of thing won't count unless they're actually asked to in character. Even just doing the bare minimum (for instance, all Bonded wolves are required to assist in pack hunts) your wolf will eventually pay off their debt. But the faster the better, right? Threads focused specifically on doing something helpful, such as a thread focused on hunting rather than just mentioning hunting, will be worth more. Just being active with Crew wolves will earn you a small amount of points as well if the character is actually interacting (1-2 points per thread) and behaving themselves. The average Bond is going to be worth 100 points, which sounds like a big number, but it won't be difficult to reach it. Depending on the effort put into the thread, completed pack hunts are worth 15 points, small game hunts around 5 points, medium game hunts with other pack members are worth around 10. Collecting herbs would be around 5 points, while assisting a pack healer might be around 10. You can see a trend here - interacting with pack members earns you more points! It's your responsibility to keep track of your Bonded character's threads and ask about points.
