And quite a good one, especially for the larger groups. Besides the obvious roleplay uses, this has utility in that under-used mechanism known as Base Raids. Simplest use would be marking off the different raid functions, but I'm pretty sure people could come up with different ideas, depending on what functionality is made available through such a system.
It could also be used, for example, to differentiate main and alt characters.

One thing Ive noticed a lot with SG's on both sides is the use of some sort of division system, wether its a regiment, religious order, gang or a company. Im talking about stuff other than hte standard ranks. For example, the group im part of has a number of departments; Technical, PR, Operations, Securty, Magic, etc.
I was just thinking, a way to actually show this on the SG board would be really nifty. Maybe some sort of drag and drop thing for the Leaders? Or seperate 'promotion' buttons that could be named after whatever people wanted and then used for asignment?
Just an idea =P
