Archon System – With one sole mind for the race, we will become legendary for we are together!
Patriarchs in RF Online Generally known as the “head of a tribe”, patriarchs are the leaders of each race (Bellato, Cora, Accretia) in RF Online. Thus., patriarchs stand at the tips of and at the axis between the three races.
Patriarchs, who are the leaders of each race, are elected through the most civilized and democratic means of “voting”. Players coming in from 2nd to 5th in the election are named as low rank patriarchs and will have the same rights as the patriarchs/low rank patriarchs for one week.
Patriarch candidates must be players within the rank of 30 in the race rank and the voting take place from 6PM on Saturday to 10PM on Sunday.
Players who wish to run as candidate for patriarch election must register with the race manager NPC of each race by using the [Patriarch Candidacy] function. (06:00~19.00 every Sunday)
A total of eight players, including the top seven users in the primary registration and the former patriarch, are named the final candidates. Voting begins at 20.00 Sunday and lasts until 22:00. The vote interface will appear on the top right corner. (20:00~22:00 every Sunday)
TAKE A MOMENT – some quick tips: Every character is allowed to vote only once. Users must have had their primary job promotions in order to be able to vote and their ballots weight differently according to their levels and ranks. (A higher ranked player’s vote will weigh more)
The voting closes at 22:00 and results are announced immediately. The user with the most votes is named the patriarch and players who came in from 2nd to 5th are named low rank patriarchs.
All patriarch rights are granted to the newly elected patriarch effective 00:00 on Monday, which lasts until 00:00 on Monday of the following week.
TAKE A MOMENT – some quick tips: There are many rights to a patriarch. Don’t forget that these rights should be used in favor of the race.
The patriarch of each race must have pride in its race and become the leader. He must command his armies to victory in the three-per-day chip war battles (formerly crystal battles) and manage all matters related to the race. Also, since he is eligible to speak with patriarchs of other races, he must find ways to settle disputes and deal with alliances.
There are many rights a patriarch can make use of. These rights are as follows.
Granted to patriarchs / Granted to patriarchs/low rank patriarchs
Patriarchs effects/increased defense advantage / Battle reward kill points
Right to race voting / Right to race chat
Right to patriarch command / Right to inter-race chat
Patriarch reward item / See remaining HP of control chips
Right to patriarch greeting
Players in the patriarch position are bound to pursue greed due to so many privileges and advantages that they can enjoy.
However, means to an objective may never be justrified. The image of a true patriarch is someone who promotes fair playing, competition, and collaboration in order to take step by step in accomplishing an objective.
Once again, you must remember that these rights are the outcome of the sacrifice done by the race members. Thus, these rights must be used in the interest of the prosperity of the race and not for the individual.
Patriarchs are responsible for conducting their armies when confronted by other races. As a subsequence, they are always the enemy’s primary targets. Patriarchs are granted special bonuses such as unique effects and increased defense to empower pride above other players because they fight under riskier circumstances.
They have the right to vote so that they can suggest crucial proposals to race members. With this, they are able to objectively hear what other race members have to say. Vote have the option to choose from agree/disagree.
Ex) Grating the voting right to 4th ranked majors (Bellato) or above
Using numbers for rank option : /vote 3 do you love RF Online?
Using real names for rank option : /vote major do you love RF Online?
Victory in the control chip battle is directly related to the prosperity of that race. Being victorious in this battle sets an opportunity for the race to gain an edge over the others. Reward kill points are awarded to patriarchs and low rank patriarchs who commanded the battle. Kill points can be converted to the monetary units each race through the “Race Manager” of each race.
HP Status bar of the crystal of the three races will be displayed under the character HP bar of patriarchs and low rank patriarchs of all races until the race quest is completed. This allows a more strategic/tactical commanding.
Patriarchs have the right to write partriarch’s announcements (greetings), which are read by the players in that race upon connection.
