All non-traditional names are subject to scrutiny. A surname which is already taken by a member will not be confirmed.
After applying to the Company for the first time, it is necessary to do an interview with one of the designated interviewers or platoon/company staff members. The interviewers can decide if the new member can be accepted or not. If a denial was based on personal vendettas (some issues that carried over from personal life or another game), the platoon/company staff can take care of this particular case, just make sure to report it.
Every new member starts with the rank of Recruit. Exceptions can be made if this particular person was a member before or has extensive experience.

If you cannot make an event please submit an LOA and contact your superior officer.
All members have a rank depending on their function, skillset and contribution to the Company. The upper leadership decides these ranks.
In case of a cause for a complaint, it is possible to make an anonymous complaint to your designated CO it will be relayed up the chain.
Membership can be lost at anytime due to long term inactivity or breaking the 88th NY or WoR community rules and/or ToS. The decision to remove for violating the rules will be made by the platoon/company staff and comes without any further consequences to those making said decision. If removed for inactivity, you may reapply and ask to be reinstated if you become active again.
