Departments
There are three departments within the structure of G.A.D.G.E.T. that play very different, yet integral roles in the daily functioning of the guild. Each department is headed by a director in the administrative team.
Supply and Distribution (S&D)
If not deep within the Train Depot, the members of S&D tend to be scattered across Azeroth in search of supplies for the engineers of G.A.D.G.E.T. to utilize -- be it raw materials such as ore and herbs for alchemical concoctions or refined trade goods such as mithril casings. S&D is concerned with the acquisition of goods and/or information for the advancement of gnomish engineering. S&D is also charged with the gathering of goblin intelligence for documentation through GR and experimentation by R&D. Their role can be that of distributor, often attracting the most skilled negotiators and tradesmen.
Gnomish Resources (GR)
Stationed in Gnomeregan’s Tinker’s Court, GR was originally created for record keeping purposes. In future years, GR has evolved to take a more advisory role. Attracting those who are more proficient with their words than an Arclight Spanner, philosophers were drawn to this department, bringing their own views on the union between the structure and function of a machine as well as that of the world. This is not to say that the main focus of GR is strictly philosophical; record keeping still plays a large role. Historians and legislators create the majority of GR documenting both past and currents events pertaining to gnomish culture and advancement.
Research and Development (R&D)
With the focus of G.A.D.G.E.T. on the advancement of gnomish engineering, R&D operated predominantly out of the Engineering Labs within Gnomeregan. Now populating Tinker Town and surrounding workshops, members of R&D are tinkerers that come from all walks of life. When presented with the same problem, the resourceful innovator would utilize their mastery of design to invent a brilliant contraption while the avant-garde technomancer could create a marriage between machine and magic. The eccentric sapper would certainly have a say in the solution as well, often involving copious amounts of gunpowder.
Ranks
Probo
Fresh recruits of G.A.D.G.E.T. enter as a probationary member. These probos will be watched closely by the administration to make sure they understand and follow the rules and regulations of the guild. After a week’s time, probos will be promoted to full member status.
Associate
Once the probo completes the probationary period, they become an associate. As an associate, members have the ability to start the quests necessary to choose a department (see below for department information).
Consultant
These veterans of the guild are advisors to the administration and have the ability to admit new members into the ranks. Associates will be promoted to consultants following a series of job opportunities within their chosen department.
Representative
The chief officers of the guild are called representatives. This first level of the administration serves as the voice for the community as well as within the guild. They are mainly responsible for the administration of trials and quests to help members advance within the guild.
Social Director
The main advisor and co-head of the administrative department is the social director. He or she is responsible for the organization of events, both within G.A.D.G.E.T. and community wide. The social director acts as a liaison between the members of the guild and the administration. It is also his or her responsibility to assume a leadership role in the absence of the inspector.
Inspector
The overseer of the guild is referred to as the inspector. It is his or her responsibility to see to the well being of the guild and the individuals. The inspector will be in charge of any disputes or problems that may arise, as well as playing an active role in the progression of the guild and their goals.
