To be fair, I'd agree with the time day being given to a rank, maybe even weather sun, since if anything those two can just be used to get rid of the pain of darkness/ lag (other people already have to ask for one or the other regularly, if they didn't have access to time night and weather storm, I see no harm in it). Also, I agree with shpp, ice is griefable... I disagree that it should be given to lower ranks at all as a kit... but if it is given out at all, then yeah... definitely only to a more trusted group (although I think it would be best to keep it SOP only, then few superOPs could give small amounts to players, by their own judgement).
Last thing, I think the cooldown period between ranks is still being discussed sort of... Last I heard about it, people were thinking about a month between member and honored, at the very least, since it gives time to be able to get to know these players. As for Architect, I don't think that is so important with a cooldown period, as you would just be able to judge from what they have built. On the other hand, there could be the problem that if there is no cooldown period, they could just end up pestering every OP they see until they manage to wriggle their way into the rank... It happens, you can't say players don't at least try it, regardless of whether they're successful. Either way, this needs further discussion, along with, or in a seperate thread from the permissions.
