	Apolyton Titles Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

hey mark, just raising an issue that came up in OT regrading the highest title , currently set at Deity for 10000 posts. Deity being the highest difficulty level in civ2. seeing that the clever boys at Civ 2 Strategy forums now play a thigher levels .. Deity +1. Deity +2, ..... , Deity +5 .. perhpas you should add some new titles for The Deitys here to aspire to ..

Although it might encourage more spam so you might say no i guess....

You will be spamming here regardless of any titles, old or new, right ?

Or...

(the vikings start singing)

Abolish! Abolish Abolish Abolish Abolish Lovely Abolishment Abolish Abolish Abolish Abolish...

If you don't abolish them, a person with a postcount over 15.000 could get simply a title "a deity with way too much free time". That way we could at least get Mao back here .

Once a spammer, always a spammer .

To make this post look like it wasn't spam:

APOLYTON STEEL MILL!

	Suffering from ads?

are there any threads left over that don't contain the word 'spam' ?
I think Deity +1 doesn't really make much sence.
Besidest that are there currently too little people deity that a new rank is needed.

It would take them 2 years anyway to reach 30.000 posts.

unless civ3 comes up with a new level above deity, there wont be a change in the titles

	Suffering from ads?

If we keep this up it may well result in the abolishment of post counts, so we could be a little more positive about this .

* waiting for the next person to turn in *

EDIT: Well, if it doesn't, what is we assign a higher value for deity and rearrange the other titles so that the new difficulty level (which WILL be there) is the settler's title?

On the other hand, what if Sid steals an idea from Apolyton and names the new, easiest level "settler"? Oh the horr... Wait, honor!

It might have absolutely different names, even though I trust not.

I think we should bug Firaxis to include higher difficulty levels, just so Mark has to add ranks above Deity.

To make it more like the game, there should be some secret number at which your post count starts over at zero.

	17-07-2001 00:58									#13
	Put an end to popups!

The number should change every day. That way there's no actual upper limit, but it would be improbable to get higher than a certain amount

I like this idea the most.

Every time Mao or Imran get close, say within 100 posts, up the # another 1,000 or so.

It would great fun watching the fireworks as Mao tries to figure out how to justify a "Coffee Shop" outside of the Off Topic forum.

Although, we have a Mao-in-training, whose name begins with R and ends in n.

I still think we should either abolish the post counts, or reinstall it in the OTF. This way either the main cause of spam is removed, or at least spam is localised in one area.

Now it's just spreading all over the place, just like cancer

Well I propose that everyone registered in Jan 1970 (when are they going to fix that anyway?) should recieve the title "the elder" or "ancient one", although "old fart" wouldn't be bad either.

Because I am more worthy despite only registering in 2000

I have come across some Jan 1970s who have had next to no posts and spent no time here...yet they pop up yet would still be considered 'veterans' and be appropriately titled for it. Seems a bit pointless. Contributions to the site and the community yes, but not sheer duration...some people have contributed more in 3 months than some have in 3 years...

"Contribution" what does that really constitute?

The veteran posters here are the living memory of the community and they preserve our rich heritage and our numerous traditions, which is a contribution way beyond that of any spammer and should be recognised accordingly.

How about an "elder" adjective before the current titles? Elder King, for instance.

Blah, blah, blah. Are the elitists powering up again so no 'newbie' such as even myself should get a look in. Oh what a surprise, you have a Jan 1970 after your title.

I know the score around here, I know who is who, better than most 1970s and I have made my mark on the Apolyton forums, both off- and on-topic. I should, hypothetically, be just as eligable for the 'elder' title.

Or what about MLeonard or MichaeltheGreat, both registered in the latter part of 1999, who can most certainly be described as significant members of the community, a damn sight more than many Jan 1970s. So no, this would not be a sensible move, and I am sure the admins/mods would agree with me. Each case should be judged on it's merits.
