Hierarchical Ladder of
the Galactic Masonic Lodge
I. Novice
To start your journey to the freemason world, the applicant must register on Discord and the Galactic Masonic Lodge (GML).
After registration, the applicant is given the title of “novice” allowing to participate in the game. The newcomer is not yet a full member of the Masonic Lodge.
By earning 15 crafts Novice’s role in the profile changes to “Apprentice.” The Novice can earn those crafts by answering questions, chatting with other gamers, answering quizzes, and creating art.
Or he can simply post 58 comments in the general chat.
* 58 in Aramaic (pre-Historic Hebrew, the language the Old Testament was written in), this number means “open field covered with grass, ready for sowing” (exactly as the newcomer to the Masonic lodge is ready to accept the knowledge and moral code of free masonry.)
Having achieving this level, the participant will be evaluated by the Wise Raven who will decide which tribe the newcomer will belong to.
To grow to the role of Fellow of the Craft, an Apprentice needs to reach level of 195 crafts earned by combination of means described above. For example, he can post 1135 comments in the general chat and earn this amount.
* In Aramaic, 1135 means “merciful” – that is, one who first thinks and then acts, and in his actions does not try to hurt others. That is, he tries not to do to others what he would not want them to do to him.
Becoming a Fellow of the Craft, the participant gets access to the First Hiram’s Quest.
To move up and become “Master of the 1st level” (M1) the Fellow of the Craft needs to write earn 599 craft (again be the combination of the means stated above). He can answer questions, resolve puzzles, and participate in quizzes. The player can chat in general chat. For example, posting 3890 messages in general chat will earn the player 420 crafts.
* In Aramaic, 3890 means “besides.” The Master must be smart and active, quick-witted and think independently, but besides that he must strive to build his life according to the twelve principles of the free masonry.
Starting from Fellow of the Craft, gamers can purchase crafts.
IV. Masters (all levels)
V. Master-Contender
For the right to challenge the Tribe Master for his title, a gamer shall reach M9 level and have twelve invitees whom the contender invited to the game reach the Fellow of the Craft level.
After that M9 becomes “Master-Contender.” [the rules for the challenge will be posted on a later date]
VI. Tribe Master
For the future: At the first days of the following months of the Hebrew calendar – Nissan, Tamus, Tishrei and Tevet, several events will be announced.
First is the date of challenges.
Each Master-contender will have to send a challenge to the current Tribe Master of his clan. The challenge will be available on the special page on the server, and once filled by the challenger, will be posted in a special “wall” for all to see. All masters-contenders will have a right to participate.
Second date will be for the competition between challengers to win a right to duel the leader.
The competition will be conducted simultaneously for all challengers in all clans. The results will be posted on the wall. The competition will consist of several rapid questions and challenges.
And the third date is the date of the duels of the challenger with the leader.
If the challenger wins, he will become the new leader (Tribe Master) of his clan. The duel will consist of several questions, tasks, challenges.
One of the duties of the Tribe Master will be to prepare his tribe for buttles of clans. From time to time, the Lodge will announce such all-tribes fight.
Tribe Master gets for all activities 50% more than gamers who are on the lower levels.
After the tribe has Tribe Master and the number of tribe members exceeds 1,000, the tribe receives its own chat channel. The Tribe Master gets an admin status.
