I have been asked more frequently about what it takes to become an IDH officer. In the early days of the Guild, the easiest applied solution was simply to award it to any player who had reached the maximum level (55 at the time). This was, in hindsight, simply not enough and certainly now as we have matured to 100 strong, clearly insufficient to recognize true Officer material.
I now in fact do not believe that mission level is necessarily an even important enough criteria to determine Officer status. It can be all too easy to achieve max level and not achieve anything of worth. I quite frankly can already identify a number of players who may only be mid-tier in game level, but superior contributors in all other facets. In fact, I've already demoted a number of those who were awarded Officer status for lvl 60+ achievement but after repeated requests, did not meet any of these other requirements I've laid out below.
So here are what I am recommending be the criteria for determining Officer status in the Guild.
On that second-to-last point, we should ideally see this number increase over time as we mature as a Guild and our troops rank to where this type of achievement is commonplace.
Please feel free to sound off on any of these or suggest something I've missed. And if you believe you qualify and are not already recognized, let me know and I'll make it right!
And here's hoping I don't have to demote anyone else ever again!

So here are what I am recommending be the criteria for determining Officer status in the Guild.
- Must have IDH brand displayed on their land
- Must always have battle flag raised
- Must have key buildings undefended for strategic occupation by Guild members i.e. SpecOps, at least 1 VF, Chem facilities
- Must have made some effort to create other key occupation sites i.e. propane tanks for oil, ponds for lumber, etc.
- Must be registered to this Forum
- Must participate in team chat
- Must have r6 wimps ideally numbering into the hundreds
- Must be seen as an active WD trader/provider
- Must be recognized as a regular visitor to fellow Guild members lands
- Must have contributed at least 50,000 points in a BS
- Must not miss this minimum contribution over 2 consecutive BS
On that second-to-last point, we should ideally see this number increase over time as we mature as a Guild and our troops rank to where this type of achievement is commonplace.
