Hello,
How we can see, we'll have a good interaction with the game and the forum. It's good to keep the forum movement but can generate some spam posts. I like the names and the symbols ranks, only one I don't like too much. When you are promoted from Knight to Officer, it seems the lower patent is prettier. Maybe putting some borders starting from this patent, like on developers rank, but with only one or two leaves.
It's gonna be fun to see everyone trying the higher patents in their faction (don't gank me please). I hope that everyone enjoys the system. Great job.
