Review companies: Current Tier Up Rules

[Netherworld]

Looks good, [member="Cira"].

How do service-based companies fit in here, btw? I know they're said to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but I'm curious how it's been done to date.

How to Grow In Tier! [V3]

There are five types of threads we are looking for. You should link to them when asking for a Tier upgrade.

Note that each linked thread can only be used to fulfill one of the sub-requirements for each tier level. ( IE: No double-dipping the same thread to fulfill a major project and a contract.)

NOTICE: Marketplace transactions do not count towards tier advancements.

1. Threads wherein your products are sold in bulk to minor factions, major factions, or NPC organizations.*
2. Threads wherein your company is a central element.
3. Threads wherein your company expands, here meaning actual, tangible growth and not the creation of a subsidy.
4. Threads wherein products are developed.
5. Threads wherein a service is being provided.

*These will count less than minor or major factions, obviously. These threads also need to be absolutely wonderful to read, or I will find you, and I will kill you.

Players are in charge of informing a moderator if a company no longer maintains the requirements of a given tier. Failure to do so could result in additional forced tier demotion. If you have any questions, post them here, and I or someone else will respond in a timely manner.

NOTICE: You may not advance more than one Tier in a single request. Threads already used for advancement from one tier to the next or made during a previous tier will not count towards a new tier advancement.*

*If your development is one lengthy consistent thread, we will talk about it on a case by case basis.

Please fill out and follow the template exactly as it is written for ease of judging. As standard, your dev threads must be a minimum of 10 quality posts unless otherwise stated.

Company Project Dev Guidelines

What is the definition of a major project?

• To create, produce, or service something that would have a sizable impact on the growth of your company.If said project sways the outcome of something during a galactic event or on a grand scale, more kudos to you.

For the development of these projects, the production, possession, or the service of the project must be the thread or threads major focal point. As always, these numbers are flexible, they are just a general guideline.

• Projects may be done in a single thread or in a series of threads.
• Note, dominions and invasions will be reviewed, but only those posts that pertain to the actual project will count.
• 
  If your company is a service company and not a production company, you may be able to replace the requirement of Tech Subs with additional "misc threads" or Codex Subs relative to the company's operations.
  
  Every additional new Location & Operation, or Headquarters change requested through the Company Modification Thread will require their own development thread.
  
  
  

Tier Upgrade Requirements

Use the following template for your Tier Up requests. Simply select the Tier Up template in the spoiler below for the level you desire and fill in the requirements therein.

Spoiler: Tier Upgrade Requirements Template

Tier I to Tier II

• Sign a contract with at least one faction or organization (May be NPC).
• Make at least three minor-production products.
• Complete two miscellaneous threads.

Tier II to Tier III

• Sign a contract with two more factions or organizations. (May be NPC).
• Make an additional three mass-production products.
• Complete three miscellaneous threads.

Tier III to Tier IV

• Sign a contract with three player-run organizations, one of which must be a major faction OR a Tier V+ company.
• Make an additional four mass-produced products..

  Sponsorship is essentially when a sufficiently large major faction decides to back your company's endeavors specifically. This can either be by them giving you a large, direct annual subsidy, signing a long-term contract, and other things that would tie the government of that faction and your company close together. Or additional development may be supplemented by conducting a 100 post dev thread expanding business in another way. (May be in several threads or one. Dominions and Invasions do not qualify.)

Tier V to Tier VI

• Sign a contract with two more major factions OR Tier V+ companies.
• Make an additional four mass-produced products.

Needs more cowbell.

But since cowbell is hard to fit in a serious post, that'll do nicely.
