Rank following Builder

[IAmLesbian]

To recap, what we need to figure out is:
- how will selection be done? Do we run trials in the typical sense, but with higher requirements?
- what permissions and benefits do we offer engineers?

My proposed answers (my words aren't law or anything obviously):

Assuming you mean selecting who becomes an Engineer, I think that would be done at the application phase. Staff members would be able to anonymously vote for, against, or not at all on whether the member in question is "trustworthy enough" to become Engineer. If the vote for isn't above some threshold (not sure what specific amount it should be) then the application is denied. If the vote for meets or exceeds a threshold then the content is reviewed by a staff member and the application is approved or denied based on that.

Trials would consist of the same 2 parts as a Builder trial except the parts would be done somewhat differently. For the building part, the CPU (or equivalent) would be pre-built. The application would have the planned build included so the member would know in advance if the build was considered "complex enough" for the Engineer trial. After completing the build, the testificate would explain their build and give a demonstration. The other part of the trial is the questions, this part would test the testificates knowledge of CPUs in the same way Builder trials test ALU knowledge. It would ensure they know the parts of a CPU, what they do, ISAs, and other information relevant to CPUs.

The only benefit for becoming Engineer that I stated in the original petition was that they could run Builder trials (reviewed afterwards by a staff member). This would help potential Builders have more options on who could run their trial. Beyond that, I only had 2 other potential ideas that I figured wouldn't be as good: Extended world edit permissions and larger/more plots. Extended world edit permissions would be something like, automatically having world edit on other plots. It could be exclusive to build or extend to school and play. This is an enticing benefit but it also is a lot of power for one member to have, that's why I ultimately opted to not include it. As for larger/more plots, people who are Builder already have that. If someone can think of better benefits, I'm not against it, I just don't see any good options other than the ability to run Builder trials.
