The Medieval World Family

High Council
The high council show commitment and loyalty to the family, also acting as discipliner to reinforce the Gods and Goddess' decisions. They answer to no one but the Gods and Goddess', but are expected, as with all members, to show respect to every family member. They also assist with any conflicts within the realm and enforce the rules, keeping peace within the Medieval World. They have the right to ban a person from the Medieval World, after fair warning or wrong actions, such as fighting. At the family meetings, the high council answers and suggestions are the most important, only thinking for the good of the family as a whole. There may only be two male and two female high council members.

The Medieval World's Sentinels
Sentinels are to ensure that the family is safe by patrolling the Medieval World. Their responsibility is to greet new visitors and learn why they are here and where they come from. Being in that position, it is the sentinel's job to make sure each new visitor that comes into the Medieval World has good intentions as well. When the sentinel is not present within the Medieval World, or if there is none, the greetings responsibilities go to all family members. Sentinels also make sure that the family members keep themselves out of trouble, and that no fights break out between visitors (or other family members), warning them of the rules. After the warning, the sentinel reserves the right to kick a continually aggressive or provoking person out of the room and set a temporary ban (posting in the forum of course). If this does happen, they are to report to the Gods and Goddess' and tell them what happened (along with text) emailing them at gods@bytemegrafix.zzn.com .

Duties:
-keep a log book of any disruptions with text(make sure to ALWAYS save text)and send to the high council
-keep up to date on the forum
-inform the high council of any important news
-recruit new members
-welcome all visitors and greet them properly "greetings ___ and welcome to the medieval world", "feel free to take a look around and please ask if you have any questions", or if it is a returning visitor, simply "welcome back ____" is acceptable. Make sure to welcome family members with "welcome home ____".
-remember visitors make an impression of the Medieval World based on you at most times, be polite, kind, considerate and helpfull.

The Medieval World Scouts
Scouts are responsible for warning the family of dangerous territory outside of the Medieval World, if any. Scouts are mainly members known by nieghboring homesteads and visit around often. They stay in touch with other homes and the rest of the Medieval World, and keep friendly relations. They are to report any important changes to the Gods and Goddess'. These include: if a new home is formed: scouts are to find out who is the leader or leaders and if the family is peaceful. Another change includes the banishment of a person; scouts are to find out who was banished from where and why. This job is important for the Medieval World and other homes to stay in alliance and in understanding with another and to ensure the safety of the Medieval World.

Duties:
-keep a logbook of homes, leaders, major upcoming events, and major happenings so that we may send well wishes and congradulations or sympathies when appropriate.
-keep a log of banishments in nieghboring homes so that we may maintain peace.

The Medieval World's Scribes
The scribes are responsible for keeping up to date on all message posts, including the forum, guestbook and shoutbox. They record text for weddings, meetings and any special events. Scribes aid the historical high council member in keeping the essays up to date and growing. They obtain new members information and send it along with the bios to the council.

Duties:
-attend family meetings
-keep up to date on the forum
-research and provide essays as needed for the Historical High Council Member
-copy, save and send text of major events to the council

Enforcers
Sentinels take the role of Primary Enforcer, making sure each visitor within the Medieval World respects and abides by the rules set forth. While the high council is absent, members should first approach the sentinel if there is a problem affecting the harmony of the family or the Medieval World. If a high council member and the sentinel are absent, all members should be aware of the role of enforcer. For example, if one was to curse excessively, warn them of their language and of respect for one another. You can warn them in the room or im them and kindly remind them of respect within our walls. If after a fair warning, a person continues to show disrespect and breaking of rules, members may place a temporary ban on that person, but it is the sentinal's right to act first if they are present in the Medieval World. If this does happen, members are to report to the high council and tell them what happened (along with saved text of course).

Greeters
Sentinels are the primary greeters. However, when the sentinel is not present within the Medieval World, the greeting responsibility goes to the other members of the family.

The Medieval World Assessments
These are the members who wish to become a part of the family and are being evaluated. The family looks for loyalty, respect, and socialness from the assessment: how well the person communicates with the members and how they act towards visitors of the Medieval World. The waiting period of an assessment varies from as little as a few weeks up to a month or more, all depending. In the Medieval World, the waiting period is long so patience must be present when joining.

Duties:
-keep up to date on the forum
-learn of our ways
-read the essays to know more of the Medieval World
