10.6 CITYRANKS

Aside from the formal governmental positions (see HELP CITYSTRUCTURE), a
citizen in a city-state can have one of six general ranks within a city. These
ranks represent your general status within the city, and as you grow in rank,
you will have the ability to call upon minor city-related powers.

When you join a city, you will automatically be of the lowest rank. HELP
CITYRANK will show you a list of the city ranks in your city. 

Movement through House and City ranks is handled by:
   HOUSE|CITY PROMOTE|DEMOTE <person>.
These commands will move the member by a whole rank.

House and city favours will no longer convey a rank increase, but now exist as
a way to recognise the achievements of your members. 

All favours will now be visible to all members with:
   HOUSE|CITY FAVOURLOG <person>.

Leaders of these organisations can now specify a credit amount to be awarded
to favour recipients. This can be anywhere from 0 - 50 bound credits from the
city's coffers. 
   HOUSE|CITY FAVOURCREDITS to see and set this.

PROMOTE/DEMOTE only works for members who are lower in rank than the person.
This does not apply to the leader of the organisation.

Access to these commands is given via an investable power in houses and by rank
six (or city leader) in cities.

The abilities city rank confers are:

Rank #          Ability
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2               The ability to see and craft city DESIGNS.
4               The ability to PREFIX and SUFFIX lower-ranked citizens.
5               The ability to CITIZEN people.
6               The ability to CITYFAVOUR and CITYDISFAVOUR people.
