This type of system works if you promote solid, motivated officers and give them the tools and clearance to do what they need to do, in your absence. Promoting your buddy from work because he's "got yer back when yer not around" or some other guy, who only cares about his own MT gear and about running off any other up and coming tanks so there won't be competition for said gear, or promoting the guy who in his own words "isn't very good at any of this officer stuff" is clearly not the way to go.

Honestly, if you are playing such a limited amount of time as to have to promote a crew to do your job for you, you need to fucking step down and get the hell out of the way. Logging on occasionally, for 30 minutes to make some stupid declarations, make a decision that will just have to be undone after you log, fuck around with the permissions on the guild bank and thereby enable recruits to see your officer chat (which also has to be repaired once you log off) and bitching because noone has logged in to bot level your main like you "told them to" is just retarded.

I am no angel, I am just as fucked up as the next guy, but there is fucked up, and then there is FUCKED UP, an important distinction that should be noted.
