Aha...ha... *M'kel edges away from Penna, eyeing the exit* Right-o... Okaaay, so what does everyone think would be a reasonable salary? 5 Marks/month for all Weyrleaders, Jr. Weyrleaders, Weyrwomen, and Jr. Weyrwomen? 3 Marks/month for Weyrlingmaster/Candidatemaster/Wingleader? 2 Marks/month for full riders without higher statuses? I don't think Weyrlings would be privileged enough to earn salaries. Or do you think salaries should be higher? Also, should we backdate these salaries so that these Weyrmembers have Marks for the Gather? If so, should we backdate payments to the month when the rank was first earned? Or should we only backdate to a certain time, such as January '08? What does everyone think?

I think that's fine! It sounds fair, and that's a good point to back-date it, so you should be fine.

Well, I like the idea of salaries and back pay, but it doesn't really matter for me, considering I've only got two marks period. >.<

-prods- That's why Cilnah is going to the gather with Kal, who wouldn't let her pay for anything anyway. XDDD

Ohhhhh...... So didn't think about that. Go Kal!
I'm working on a reply, by the way.

I don't think you've done the Trivia Challenge yet, Cilnah. Maybe you could earn Marks that way!
And yeah, it takes a bit of Membership time to earn Marks. The Members who have the most Marks have been here the longest and participated in all of the contests!
Oh, and we could add Beastmaster, Weyrhealer, and Weyrharper to the tier of Weyrlingmaster/Candidatemaster/Wingleaders.

What about the Journeymen and woman? They deserve a salary.

Hmmm, but wouldn't they be Crafter equivalents of Sr. Weyrlings? And we're holding off on dragonriders having salaries until they're full riders....

Does anyone recall if journeymen and apprentices in the craft halls earned marks? It seems to me Piemur always had enough coin in his pouch to buy bubblypies. And what about poor Gaylen? She likes bubblypies, too! LOL Since a good number of our members who'll be going to the gather are weyrlings, perhaps there could be some sort of "allowance" for them, per chore, or something ... likewise with lower cavern staff, etc.

I believe that Piemur made Marks through selling instruments he'd made, and other Journeymen did the same thing (Apprentices weren't usually skilled enough to sell their pieces).
We have rewarded Weyrlings for participating in training, so Members have had the chance to earn Marks if they posted.
Well, looking at the proposed Mark tier, if Weyrlings, kitchen folk, and Journeymen were to earn Marks, it looks like they'd earn 1 Mark/month. But I don't think that candidates should essentially be earning Marks, since they're there to labour for the Weyr for the opportunity to Impress...no? And if a Journeyman becomes a candidate, I don't think he should continue to earn Marks since he's no longer in his trade....
Thoughts?
Oh, and if anyone isn't clear on one point, your Marks can be divided amongst your characters however you please, not according to who earned what.
Soooo, proposed tier:
5 Marks/month - Weyrleader, Weyrwoman, Jr. Weyrleaders, Jr. Weyrwomen
3 Marks/month - Weyrlingmaster, Candidatemaster, Weyrhealer, Weyrharper, Wingleaders
2 Marks/month - Full riders without higher statuses
1 Mark/month - Journeymen, Weyrlings, Lower Caverns workers (not drudges)
Or should we bump all of those up to 5, 4, 3, 2?
