Since there is a possibility that that was a cross post, I'll let it slide, but not the next one.

We have another winner of the RAH math +1 = -10 (Ecthelion) Today's special is base 10 , so the next example will be +1 = -100. Any takers?

Due to the fact that this suggestion not only won't be, but can't be implemented, there isn't a whole lot left to discuss. Not in a way that could apply to Apolyton, anyway.

Might as well close the thread now.

Not necessarily, DanQ did say that the current levels could be altered, such as moving Emperor level up a bit.

If we move the Emperor level up, will some current Emperors becomes Kings again? Or is that a permanent state once you've reached it?

Well the alternative to moving emperor up is moving Deity down.

But a Deity would not be a real Deity if anybody could easily become a Deity.

I say move emperor up to 5000, and maybe deity to 13000

3000 posts can be achieved in no time, if you play demogames.

Suffering from ads?

Accoding to Skanky's statistics, this will mean 96 Emperors get to be degraded to Kings. 96! Can you imagine what kind of outcries our owners will face?

I'm on pace for 2 years to get Emperor. I hardly call that 'no' time.

I think you need to look at all those Emperors, and see where they post.

I read a lot of the On-Topic CIV3 and GALCIV forums, but rarely post. In the On Topic I usually want to contribute something and there are so many gamers WAY beyond my level. I read to learn and keep up. In the Off Topic I will usually speak my mind on subjects that interest me. All in all, I enjoy being a part of this community. I am on track to get to Prince in a little over one year here. I think that is fine. If that level was different, then that would be okay to. It seems to me that only the most involved get to the higher titles anyway. Their status is easily recognizable. There is no need for additional titles...it would only be defining to a minority anyway.

I still think DanQ has more important things on his to do list than adjusting the post count levels for titles right now........

If I may make one suggestion is to change 'deity' into 'diety', that would solve alot of "typo's"

Well, I don't feel that the current levels for each "rank" should be moved. To be a deity here requires a lot of posts, and 10,000 reflects that. Moving emperor forward would only serve to decrease the number of emperors, moving it back would make achieving the rank after emperor even harder. If the software does limit us to only 7 ranks, then the current spread is optimal, in my opinion.

Although would many people miss the "Chieftan" rank?

What's the point of moving the requirements for various levels anyway, when post count is just a fun thing to have?

I think that "Chieftan" is at the right place. If a settler shows any interest in participating in the community then they will quickly gain the chieftan rank. This shows that they are new but participating. Nothing wrong with that.
