more guild options

[Red Nations]

I posted suggestions relating to this in the Grog Blog:
First there are two badly needed options for guildmasters, the first option being the ability to appoint a second in command giving the second full powers as acting GM. My level 40 pirate is second in command of a guild with an absent GM. I'm lucky to have contact with the GM once a month and only able to suggest officer promotions at that time. Secondly I'd like to see GM's given the option of stepping down and leaving the guild if they wish, with command of the guild being passed on to a second in command. I've seen several guilds destroyed when the GM decided to leave the game and the guild was deleted casting all the members adrift and guildless.

I'm also in favor of having a rank system within the guilds along with some sort of awards and medals for rewarding outstanding members and players.
