Title: What are the rankings?
Post by: lem0nhead on May 07, 2008, 03:18:38 AM

Here's what Dain has set up:

Code: [Select]
Neekerbreeker 
Goblin * 5
Orc ** 20
Uruk-hai *** 30
Hobbit **** 40
Dwarf ***** 60
Elf ****** 80
Man of the West ******* 100
Wizard ******** 150

I imagine the post count per category will have to be modified once CC posts are imported.

Post by: lem0nhead on May 07, 2008, 06:13:03 AM
LOL definately. Most of those numbers will be irrelevant. On the old CC many members could achieve hobbit in a day! And nearly everyone was a man of the west at least.

Probably more like:

Code: [Select]
Neekerbreeker 
Goblin * 25
Orc ** 50
Uruk-hai *** 100
Hobbit **** 250
Dwarf ***** 500
Elf ****** 1000
Man of the West ******* 2000
Wizard ******** 3000

Post by: DáinIronfoot on May 07, 2008, 06:25:35 AM
Yeah, I figured it would be a temporary thing anyway. Maybe we can keep some sort of rankings once CC is imported, if people want them....
Title: Re: What are the rankings?

Yeah that seems about right. Wow im like 30 short of wizard. Cool!

Post by: FingolfinFinwe on May 07, 2008, 06:45:06 AM
lol I think I have more posts here than at CC.  I know its sad, I always just lurked and read the forums.  Didn't even sign up until after the shop closed down.  Its cool tho, I'm a newbie and I know it!

Do the posts in the member's lounge still count towards that ranking though?

Ah well. I'm going to spam until I hit Wizard. MWAHA!

Anyway we can disable post counts in the member's lounge? Cuz then I'd pwn SoP hands down.

Post by: DáinIronfoot on May 12, 2008, 11:39:29 AM
Changed up the rankings a bit. There are more of them now, thanks to no longer constraining myself to races.

Neekerbreeker
Goblin
Orc
Uruk-hai
Scout
Tracker
Troll
Bowman
Ranger
Horseman
Marksman
Knight
King
Lord
Wizard
...and more???


They follow a pretty set patern: lower ranks usually change every 10 posts, then 25 after a certain point, then 50, and so on. I have ranks planned all the way out to 500 posts right now; if we're able to get our old CC post counts back, I'll probably make drastic changes to the post count required for each rank.

Oh, and the number of stars don't necessarily change when you recieve a new rank. Instead, there are "ranges". For example, Goblins and Orcs both have one star, Uruk-hai through Tracker have two stars, and so on. I'll leave the discovering of the rest of the specifics (including ranks above Wizard) up to you. Gotta have SOME mystery in it, right? 8)

Is "Troll" a ranking that one would really want to achieve?

NO. And that's why I begin spamming now...

Peasant... Warrior... Elven Lord... Valar...!!

...Troll.

Icarus flew too close to the sun. :o

Troll
Bowman
Ranger
Horseman
Marksman
Knight
King
Lord

...and more???



Sorry for double post but...

Question.... What are the post numbers to achieve these and surely nothing is higher than a king especially a lord?

As I said, you'll have to find out what the adjusted post numbers are. :mrgreen: Makes it more fun.

And I envision a King as being ruler of one specfic area, but a Lord ruling a wider area. *shrug* Maybe I'm just nuts.

If we must get technical, isn't "lord" a broader, more generic term? could mean several different levels of dominion, from local ruler to God....

Because we have a larger-than-normal-for-a-secular-forum-community number of religious people.

All the same, I think that, if anything, the discussion has added credence to having "Lord" above "King". So ha. ;D

With today's (finally!) import of our old CC post counts, I've drastically altered the number of posts you much reach for the rankings. I've also switched up the order a little bit. In my opinion, they make a little more sense now.

Neekerbreeker
Goblin
Orc
Uruk-hai
Scout
Tracker
Troll
Villager
Horseman
Bowman
Marksman
Ranger
Knight
King
Lord
Wizard
Maia


There may even be more beyond that. We'll just have to wait until SoP gets there and find out! :P

Title: Re: What are the rankings?

It looks like everyone got their gold count from CC added to their current gold count. Am I right or crazy? I didn't. I thought I had some gold on CC, but maybe not...

Ah, good. I see Kralik finally figured out how to add new "stars" to our available rankings list.

And thus, SoP's ranking Kralik and I discussed last week has finally been properly implemented. :clown:
Title: Re: What are the rankings?
Post by: lem0nhead on June 03, 2008, 07:37:29 AM
Ahhh that explains that :P

So what affect does this have? Besides clowns on Maias?
Title: Re: What are the rankings?
Post by: DáinIronfoot on June 03, 2008, 07:38:59 AM
It's a new rank that's achieved by post count...with at least one more rank still above it. Yes, folks, even SoP has yet to hit the highest ranking. :roll:

The problem was that only green, red, blue, and yellow stars were available to us for use with ranks, though Kralik wanted to do clowns once you got ridiculously high enough. :P I see he finally figured out how to add them as an option. :up:
Title: Re: What are the rankings?
Post by: lem0nhead on June 03, 2008, 07:40:50 AM
10,000 - Valar??

Aaaaanyway, so thats all the changes Kralik made? That when you hit SoP proportion posts you become "pennywise" as ML puts it?
Title: Re: What are the rankings?
Post by: DáinIronfoot on June 03, 2008, 07:43:08 AM
Kralik's been working on much, much more than just that. But it was a little side project I know he wanted to figure out, and apparently finally did sometime while I slept. :P
