Call for rank titles...

Post by psi29a »

Alrighty, it seems that some of you have reached 400+ posts, be it by normal means or in some cases spamming the hell out of the off-the-wall forum. Here is the ranking as it is right now:
rank posts
-------------------
imanewbie 1
notanewb 10
Found the Edit button 20
Mastered PM 30
This is my new home 50
Augh! Bright sky fire burn eyes! 100
Beware my tactical spam 200
Genin 400
Chuunin 800
Jounin 1000
Sennin 1500
Hokage 2500
I want to run this by everyone to see if we like the ranking system (something I came up with after 4 pints of Guinness). Please add more, rankings... or come up with a totally new ranking system. Keep it consistant, funny or even berserk related. The more ranks, the better in my opinion.

Note: berserk themed ranks would be quite nice.

Okay, I'm going to post my list of 40 different ranks. These are the ranks we use for The Council of Hynneth Kore's message board. However, I don't ever get to see it in effect, because everyone who uses that board has specially designed titles, heh. Anyway, I'm not sure if it'll be what you're looking for, but it stays fairly consistent with itself. Perhaps you could use some of it. That would make me happy. If you have any questions about these ranks, just post them here. Oh yeah, by the way, it's Sannin, not Sennin. ;)

1.) Peasant
2.) Page
3.) Squire
4.) Knight
5.) Specialist
6.) Corporal
7.) Sergeant
8.) Second Lieutenant
9.) First Lieutenant
10.) Captain
11.) Major
12.) Lieutenant Colonel
13.) Colonel
14.) Brigadier General
15.) Major General
16.) Lieutenant General
17.) General
18.) Baron
19.) Count
20.) Marquis
21.) Duke
22.) Archduke
23.) Lord
24.) Archmage
25.) Mancer
26.) Disciple
27.) Apostle
28.) Bishop
29.) Archbishop
30.) Cardinal
31.) Esper
32.) Angel
33.) Archangel
34.) Malakim
35.) Ophanim
36.) Nephilim
37.) Cherubim
38.) Seraphim
39.) Lesser Deity
40.) Deity

Starnum: care to modify that with post counts too? :D
Generally referred to as the Densetsu no Sannin. (Legendary Three)
This tends to be where people get confused. Jiraiya calls himself Gama-sennin, which means frog hermit. Naruto calls him Ero-sennin, which means perverted hermit.
Notice that a slight difference in spelling can mean something completely different! SANNIN = 3 people SENNIN = hermit.
yes, you TOO can be a hermit, thus... sennin. :D

I really like halfnhalf's suggestion about being able to edit your own title. Mainly because the ranking system seems a bit redundant, since it's based on your post count, which everyone can already see anyways.

I like the rank system, we just need more for 400+.

Editing titles would be plain awesome. I'll try to post some Berserk-related ranking titles in while, just need a little time to think about them.

berserk-related titles would be cool, since the popularity of EG is mostly based on scanlations of berserk

Totally agree ;)

Atlghouh it's not mods, only admins

--

And about titles using EG projects, would be nice.

Although berserk-only would be a little too one-sided.

Eitherway, I personally don't care that much... all up to psi29a and suggestions for final titles

however anything but:

1. genin+
2. super saiyan+
3. flying gatts
4. ...to be specificed

but why only admins, does that mean that the mods with their own title now will have them taken away?

The rank system is something fun, and is only that. The non-standard titles/ranks are there to designate that those people are ones that are consistant, follow the board and trends, typically been around for awhile, and have shown they can be trusted. (Namely Mods and Admins) and only Admins can change the titles/ranks.

The ranking system itself I think is funny, that is why I tried to come up with funny stuff. By all means continue and come up with more material. If a majority feel that the ranking system is bogus, I can remove Titles all together. *shrugs* Or I can just remove post counts, and leave the titles (based on posts anyway). Up to you guys.

It just mean that the mods didn't change their own titles

They asked admins to get their titles (or got one forced on them).

I personally like both(post count and rank) there, and I have a low post count. Somewhat tells you who the regulars are and what not. Plus they are funny.

Buz: Yesh, that would work.

The reason I post this in Berserk was to get a berserk theme going, but I can move the thread to off-the-wall if you guys would prefer more funny stuff (not genin... perhaps more sennin jokes though).
