Why'd you wait to get Wise Moth back and then resign from it because you had to? Who told you that you had to do that? You could have at least told me you were leaving instead of me having to hear about it when you attacked.

This happened durong cz joe i love wise moth its judt i was following what i was told and it was like u have to leave the council orders of manwe so my eyes could show so without thinking i asked sled and i shouldve talked to you first and i am sorry joe

You can have items show by putting them on a different part of your body. You can also have faceblend alpha which I told you about upon getting the rank. To me, it just seems like there could have been a way to stay in the council and follow the Crime Zone. I don't think a Crime Zone would have such a decision as intense as changing your rank. It feels like you just got any other rank you could have thought of in that moment just to show an item. That makes it seem to me that there's really no care for the rank; that's just what I'm getting from it.

Why'd you wait to get Wise Moth back and then resign from it because you had to? Who told you that you had to do that? You could have at least told me you were leaving instead of me having to hear about it when you attacked.

I mean, we have the Wise Moth Council that is currently serving as the "council" part of this whole judge idea that I see being created in the comments. I currently have trial rotations with my council that allows all of the members to have a turn sharing their wisdom. Before there were any trials when I was appointed as Grand Moth Wise, I had informed all of my members about the Criminal Code, and to use it when giving the judge their opinon and verdict. I don't really know if we need a whole council since we already have the moths who could be seen a bit more and have their verdicts considered, it seems like this verdict was the only one a moth made that was taken seriously that there seems to be a problem with, but that could just be because of the opinion of the verdict which is fine. I think adding someone just to serve as a judge would be a great idea.

Yeah, I think you guys deserve to have the point. No shade to any of the teams, this was just an error with the count of the score.

I want to comment on this because of what had just happened with this user....


Aldwin, I completely understand your aspiration for joining the Moth Council. One thing I notice with old users wishing to join the Council is that sometimes they don't even know the names of the ranks within it anymore, and that seems a bit alarming in itself. I mean, I think you should at least know the name of the rank you're trying to go for...


As for training, I have a post that can be found here: https://forums.damenspike.com/discussion/60907. Within this post, I go over all of the ranks within the Council, how to achieve them, the roles and responsibilities that comes with them, and some things that we do in the Council and want to implement in the future. I understand that you're a former Moth, but that's not an exception to just get the rank back, on OldCP we don't have any circumstances where people are entitled to get their ranks back. At that point, you just need to earn it back and show that you care.


I gave you the opportunity to train and show me that you care for getting the rank back, but you didn't bother to listen to me and wanted to skip over the training entirely after only answering 4 questions that you were struggling with, no offense. Being in the Council, you need to learn patience and that the world does not owe you anything. Things happen for a reason and you need to work for what you truly want, then you shall receive. I've been informed that you had been demoted from Moth because of cheating on the Moth Ninja test and then shortly becoming evil later, then quitting for 3 months and coming back.


In the DSGHQ we forgive one another, so these things I will not hold over you (unless you're still evil of course). With that being said, I believe you are since you told me you were going to implement a "Black Council". At this time, I just don't see any care for the rank, more like an entitled attitude after I tried working with you.

Hello DSGHQ,


Recently, I've noticed an influx of people contact me asking about how to become a Wise Moth. This discussion is going to be the certified post that explains what the Council is, what members of the Council do, and what to expect upon joining the Moth Council. If you're interested in becoming a part of the Council, keep reading!



What are the Moth Council ranks?


What is Wise Moth?
Wise Moth is one of the many ranks on OldCP. This rank is relatively new but is rooted in historical ideas and traditions within OldCP. The rank is a combination of the ranks Moth Larva, Moth Priest, Wise One, and Most Wise. The wise and moth ranks had been combined together as a way to make one big council since both councils were relatively small and worked together frequently anyway. This rank is the starting rank and lowest tier within the council.


What is Moth Ninja?
Moth Ninja has been the same rank as it was even with the transitioning of the councils, it had just become a more recognizable part of the council. This rank is the next level tier ranking within the Council. Upon getting this rank, you're considered a member of the Inner Council. By being a member of the Inner Council, you're able to suggest Wise Moths, discuss serious Moth Council matters with the Grand Moth Wise and Blind Monks, and help plan ideas that will hopefully be added in the future.


What is Blind Monk?
A Blind Monk is a prestigious member. A person with this rank has typically held the High Priest, Grand Most Wise, or Grand Moth Wise position at least once. This rank can also be earned if it showed extreme dedication and has stayed with the council for a long period of time. These people are in the council to provide their wisdom and knowledge. Just as Moth Ninja, this rank is a part of the Inner Council and gets to discuss the same things a Moth Ninja does.


What is Grand Moth Wise?
The Grand Moth Wise is the leader of the Moth Council. Known as High Priest and Grand Most Wise mixed, this person is seen as the face of the Moth Council and has the help of the Wise Moths and the Inner Council to make sure that the best intentions for the Council are being shown. This rank, as well as Blind Monks, are also responsible for testing students for the ranks Wise Moth and Moth Ninja.


What are the requirements for these ranks?


Wise Moth
- An active user, able to clock at least 5 hours a week.
- No history of trials in the past month.
- If a returning user, must be back for at least a month.
- An individual who is desiring for rank and willing to bring creative ideas forward to help better the Moth Council.
- Exceptional trust with the Administrators and the Inner Council.
- Must go through training and pass the Wise Moth test.


Moth Ninja
- An active user, able to clock at least 5 hours a week.
- No history of trials in the past month.
- Must be a current and hard-working Wise Moth to be eligible for this position (usually for 1.5 to 2 months).
- An individual who is desiring for rank and willing to bring creative ideas forward to help better the Moth Council.
- Exceptional trust with the Administrators and the Inner Council.
- Must go through training and pass the Moth Ninja test (if approved upon by the Inner Council).


Blind Monk
This rank is typically given to past High Priests, Grand Most Wises, and Grand Moth Wises who had recently resigned from their positions. More information on this rank will be provided soon.

Not following the roles and responsibilities or abusing any privileges given with these ranks may result in being removed from the Moth Council.


As for training, how would I begin?


Anyone is able to train for ranks within the Moth Council. The only rank you're not allowed to have prior to training is a Knight ranking (excluding War Knight). You're also not allowed to be evil or be part of any organization against the South. If you're interested in training and you reach the requirements, you can contact me on Discord (my name is in the OldCP Discord server), send me a forums mail, or ask me on OldCP. As a Wise Moth, you'll go over wisdom, a moth's standard responsibilities, general OldCP history, and general OldCP lore. For Moth Ninja, you'll focus more primarily on OldCP lore, one of the most memorable parts being the Reptilian Text. You can train by yourself or with a group. So if you or people you know are interested, bring your friends!


Recent additions to the Moth Council:
- Established trial rotations so that everyone in the Moth Council can take turns expressing their wisdom at trials.
- Better established and hands-on training/lessons.
- Improved and more structured tests.
- Many new members.


Things wanting to be added:
- Weekly discussions together as a Council about hot topics within the community.
- Possibility of bringing back Moth Trials (if we're at a desaperare need for Moths or a new Grand Moth Wise).
- More Inner Council members.


Thank you for reading this post. I hope you learned something or gained an interest in the Moth Council!


Regards,

A very detailed report, great job.

Baffed is out here with one of the fastest-growing forums pages besides Damen himself.

I can't believe you've done this to us.

I hope you get better soon. You can't retire when you have the crown.

Hey Usnavi! I remember you and the Apollo Party. It's great to see you again. I hope all is well.

It's sad to see you go, Swirlie. I'll always remember the good times that we had. Good luck in life.

This is a great idea. I hope that we can keep some faces but get to see some new ones as well.
