Long Live the Royal Minecraft Militia!

History
This is the rank that everyone starts off at, they will stay at this rank until they prove themselves worthy of being a full member of the RMM.
These members have proven that they belong in the RMM. They are the ones who make up the bulk of the RMM, they should be capable in PvP and in Building.
Corporals are the best of the Privates in their squad and will possibly become one of the next sergeants if they prove themselves. Their actual job is to make sure the squad is working towards the goals set by the Sergeant.
Sergeants have command over a small group of men that form their squad, they can not order members of other squads around unless the Sergeant (and higher) allow you to. They can make up orders that they want done quickly.
A lieutenant is the leader of 2 Squads and they will be based on one server (e.g.Aggression). They will be in charge of everything any member of the RMM does on that server, people from other squads can still go on the other servers but will report to the new lieutenant instead of their normal one. This all applies unless specifically sent there with a mission by their Major or the Generals.
Captains are the Majors right hand men a lot like they will take care of anything the major asks (within reason) and they can also accept people into the RMM, as well as this they will need to report anything that the major does inappropriately to the generals via a PM.
Majors report only to the Generals. They are the ones who decide where and what the major goals of their lieutenants are on the servers they are given by The Generals. They will also need to keep an up to date thread on who under their command is active and who isn't.
The Generals are the leaders of the RMM and are the ones that decide which servers to go on and what the main objectives of that server are (e.g. Recruitment) They will also decide who gets promoted to what rank.
The rules for the RMM are very simple: respect everyone, from the highest general to the freshest recruit. All should be treated equally. Follow orders from superiors in a timely manner. This doesn’t mean that you must always be ready for anyone to call you, but don’t put off any chores given to you.
Discipline
Our disciplinary system is based on Merits; As you rank up you earn a merit, which is basically a free warning. You won’t lose merits for basic things, such as not knowing that free building isn’t allowed. You would lose merits for something on par with swearing at a fellow member. Once you get accepted to the clan you have three merits; lose all of them and you are either kicked or demoted to recruit to try again. Also note than some infractions will lose you multiple merits, such as repeated refusal to follow any order.
Regulations
Uniforms:. It is required to wear one variant of the skins we will provide for you upon your induction into the RMM.
Evaluation: Evaluations will be conducted by a Drill Sergeant or higher. It will be very basic and ends when the officer says you’re capable.
Promotions: First rule of promotions: never ask for one. It looks as if you’re whining even if you aren’t. Promotions will generally be handed out when a higher up feels you’re ready. Only Sergeants and up can promote, and they can only promote someone to one rank lower than them.
At the RMM, we have a wide range of communication methods which range from chats (like IRC and Teamspeak), to message boards and group, all of which become available to you when you join.
To prevent information being leaked we are unable to release further information until you enlist.
Founding of the RMM and Leaders.
iPopefounded the RMM during the first boom of clans on the 7th January, 2010. Its early life saw only him in control, but soon command was shared with LuciferZ, whom enlisted on January 9th , 2010. iPope took several months leave from the clan, and eventually returned in the grand summer of 2010 to become active again in the clan environment. iPope resigned from the RMM on 23 February, 2011, as he believed that LuciferZ, who had left a tad earlier on a better notice, had altered the clan he had constructed and stated that the RMM was dead. Colonel Roze, Lieutenant Gielnor, Warrant Officer M1_Mercenary, Josrence44, and others left behind in the aftermath began the process of reorganizing the shattered clan . Roze and M1_Mercenary were elected as the new Generals. Sadly, M1 resigned soon after, so a new approach was taken and a 4-man High Command, consisting of Generals Roze and Gielnor, and Colonels Josrence44 and Nintendow1, was created.
The Logo
The RMM Eagle is the official emblem for the RMM, and has been used for almost the entirety of the RMMs existence with little change. The Eagle has been the main feature of both of our forums, whether it be intentional or not. On the first forums, there happened to be a theme with the render of an eagle in a circle. With our second and current forums, a theme was made specifically for the RMM, with an eagle. In the early ages of the RMM, the eagle had no wings at level with the neck of the eagle, but it was soon added around the time of Notchgard or earlier, and the eagle has not changed at all since then.
Fifth Battalion
The 5th Battalion's activities are shrouded in secrecy and rumor, but what can be shared with the public is the elite nature of this section of the Royal Minecraft Militia. You cannot apply for this Battalion. You are invited. Maybe. Only the most loyal, dedicated, intelligent and capable people are accepted into the shadowy ranks of the 5th. In times of desperation, danger, or at pivotal points in Minecraft history, you might briefly meet an officer of this battalion, before they fade again into the background.
Victory ‘6th’ Battalion
The 6th Battalion was once a clan all its own, known as Victory. The first of the Minecraft clans, Victory stood strong for over a year before deciding to merge with the Royal Minecraft Militia as the 6th Battalion. As a battalion, their standards are as high as ever. The 6th cannot be enlisted into, you must prove your worth in the RMM before you can apply for this elite group. Victory Battalion is a collection of architects, dedicated to the rebuilding, revitalizing, and repairing the torn and broken cities left after griefer raids and clan warfare. After great Minecraft combat, the 6th Victory Battalion joins to bring the spark of civilian life back to a stricken server. They are there to pick up the pieces, help the innocent, and remind the people of Minecraft that the RMM exists to protect and defend them. However due to the inactivity of the entire battalion, they are now considered a honoured relic and have been changed to ‘Victory Battalion’.
Gruehole
Named after Gruezilla, the Gruehole is the result of a terrible mining method that consists of tunneling straight down to find caves, leading to the deaths of many unsuspecting people. Gruezilla was eventually sentenced to the Obsidian Challenge as punishment, but he evaded consequence by people not giving a crap.
7rd battalion,battalion of epicness, weed smoking dinosaurs, and better-than-you-ness
7rd (Severd) battalion is an imaginary battalion formed by Iguana to form a bond between everyone with a name that had the letter I. Anyone who had a name that began with that letter instantly became an officer. Ikroth approves of this battalion.
Royal Military of Minecraft
A spin-off clan of the RMM that never took off, and was in fact blown up in the hangar (presumably by 5th battalion).
Tacle Spire
A travesty of architecture founded by Ten_Tacles, when used in large numbers, will cause people to cut themselves. A tacle spire, defined by Ten_Tacles himself, is "Made of win, for the win." What a liar incredibly serious man who speaks the truth. loser. In early 2011, head architect Gielnor recognized the Tacle Spire as an official RMM monument, despite being one of it's greatest opponents.
The Arrow Truth
At the start of the second sSMP server map, former Major Shapeshiftr built an arrow at spawn to point people in the direction of a metropolis in progress. A former member of the RMM, 1Grayghost, had joined the server and followed the arrow but was unable to find the metropolis, tellingShape that the arrow was a lie. Shape responded by saying that the arrow truth, and soon realized that it did not.
