Meeting the 50K word goal in a month is quite a commitment if you aren't already used to putting out thousands of words a day. Even if, by standards of a lot of MLP fanfics, especially the bigger Fallout Equestria ones, 50K is [i]short[/i]. In retrospect, late October/early November was probably not the best time to start an RP, given the existence of NaNoWriMo, because we're just along for the ride at this point.

Looking in the characters tab [@Slypheed], it'd probably be safe to assume they're lieutenants until corrected, and just make an edit. That's the rank everybody else has gotten.
