PS2 Ranks

Community or Command, choose your path

The Outfit is split into two distinct parts for you to advance through. Those on the Community side are focused on helping members, keeping the website running and growing the Community. Those on the Command side are interested in organising our forces in game into a effective fighting force. Should you wish to just be a member of the Outfit any nothing more. Thats fine and you will remain a recruit.

Promotions and Demotions

Within the Outfit we the Leadership - Science Council, that looks after the running of the Outfit. Such as invites to the outfit, maintaining the website, configuring Teamspeak and helping new members. Then we have the Chain-of-Command - Military Command Hierarchy, which handles coordination, strategy and tactics in-game.

The Commander is voted in by the Science Council. In turn the Commander is then responsible for appointing his own Command Team. This means promoting/demotions Platoon Leaders, Squad Leaders and Team Leaders.

All other promotions/demotions are handled by the Science Council.
