Players can have various ranks bestowed upon them in alliances. Along with these ranks come the various privileges and responsibilities. Simply "The Chain of Command".
Chancellor : alliance creator and can be appointed or simply the founder of the alliance.
Vice-Chancellor : 2nd in command and can be appointed by Chancellor
Officer : Keeps alliance on track and can be appointed by Vice Chancellor or Chancellor
Member (Default rank)
The positions of Vice-Chancellor and Officer are appointed positions and anybody can be promoted into those positions. To appoint these positions, click on the Alliance icon, then click on the Members tab, next click on the View button on the far right of the person you want to promote, click on Promote, and automatically that person becomes an Officer. If you want to promote someone to Vice-Chancellor, click on Promote again and there will be another Promote button to click. Once you click it, that Officer will automatically become a Vice-Chancellor. If you wish to demote an officer, simply follow the above directions, only click the Demote buttons.
Most of the new players think the smartest thing is to join a top ranked alliance. The problem is Kingdoms of Camelot limits the size of alliances to 100 members and most of the top ranked alliances expect new members to have the same average might and army size as their members do. This means the best thing for you, as a newbie, is to join a small alliance that is getting started just like you are.
Here are some advantages:
The rule of thumb is don't expect everyone to drop what they are doing to come to your help if you need resources or are being attacked. Chances are the member that is on right at that moment is too far and the one right next to you is offline. This is one of the reasons why it is a good idea to open the map before joining an alliance and scout your immediate surroundings for players. Once you have found some, note their alliance and consider trying to apply for these, because this way you have at least 1 ally next to you if you were to need help or if you're already in an alliance ask them if your alliance is in a "HIVE". Usually the HIVE is a place in the map where your alliance is based or occupy.
Another way to choose an Alliance is to watch global chat and ask questions there. Click on the names of people you feel you can work with to see what alliances they are in, and then ask to join that alliance.
