SG Suggestion, Online and Offline SG options...

[u]Offline[u]
Allow for SG invites to be sent to offline players.
Allow for Promotion of offline players.

[u]Online[u]
Require players to be online prior to SG demotion.
Allow SG members to be able to invite offline players to their SG.
Allow SG members to be able to promote offline SG members.
(Invitations and Promotions subject to that players SG rank settings as usual.)

[u]Additional[u]
Add an additional SG option to the players options menu, such as:
'Offline SG Invites' 'Allow'

Offline promotions should include a Super Leader transfering their rank to an offline Leader whilst self demoting themselves.
(I have 2x solo SG's at this time, this modification would allow my alt leaders to re-select the main Super Leader should it ever be required, which is quite possible with Altitis (That for the newer players means having multiple alternate characters on one or more accounts))

Offline - Allow for SG invites to be sent to offline players.

/signed - useful for having invitations waiting for old players that have been put on a 'reserve' list due to inactivity, and will want to return to the SG when they return to the game

Offline - Allow for Promotion of offline players.

/signed - This is a big bugbear for me.

Online - Require players to be online prior to SG demotion.

/unsigned - Doesn't this contradict the above point? Promotion/demotion should be possible offline, imho.

Online - Allow SG members to be able to invite offline players to their SG.

...You've already said that above.

Online - Allow SG members to be able to promote offline SG members.(Invitations and Promotions subject to that players SG rank settings as usual.)

...You've said that too.


So basically:

"Be able to promote/demote SG members when they are not signed in" - this would allow a leader of an SG to work on the roster without requiring everyone to be signed in to do so - something I have found quite difficult to keep track off!

"Be able to invite people to the SG who may be offline, so that the invitation is waiting for them when they sign in" - Perhaps this could be in the form of an in-game email with a clickable link that activates their role in the SG?

/Signed to the points Winter made

Offline promotion/demotion would be so useful.
As would offline invites.

The only reason I suggested online demotion would be to resolve the new SGL situation whereby a Leader gains SGL status and promtly demotes all other Leaders to take control of the SG.

By making demotions other than the auto SGL one as online only, then that would give that player/Leader a chance to appeal about their demotion rather than a Leader suddenly having all priveledges revoked when they log in to find themselves a recruit with minimal priviledges.

Would you want to load your SG's Salvage and other Storage with your items to share when you'll be risking them getting stolen if the SG becomes a Dictatorship?

I would personally prefer an online demotion system, with possibly the exception of being able to demote SG members by 1 rank for every ? days offline.

My reasons are think how you would feel if you suddenly found you were ranked as a recruit after being joint leader for several months/years just because someone got the SGL position and decided to demote everyone who was offline to recruit?

I'm trying to look at the best of both sides, you want to know you are being demoted but SG leaders really want offline invites and promotions/demotions, well as I can only see issues with the demoting part, this was why I made the suggestion above the way I did.

This has 2 points of view:
1. The SGL/Leader's
2. The poor sap who gets demoted to recruit... and possibly even kicked from the SG.

Not really a problem as its not possible to demote or kick someone of equal rank. ie A Leader can't demote another Leader or kick them from the SG.

"Live forever or die tryin'"

If someone wants to go mad dictator, why on earth would it make any difference wether people were online or not?

Sticking to more realistic examples and such for now, offline dempotion would be useful for ranks that require people to be doing stuff and, for whatever reason, they cant do it. Demotion may be temporary or permanant, but having them sat there with a high rank offline can be an annoying thing at times.

Ok how about online demotion, but with the option to hide them from the SG list until they login?
