Settler?

Harry Seldon · December 20, 2002, 16:10

I've been on the boards for a time now and noticed there are several designations for users such as Prince, King, Settler, and so on. What exactly does this mean and what are the differences between the ranks?

Harry Seldon · December 20, 2002, 16:19

Never mind. Reading, it would appear, is fundamental.

its just for a civish flavour...nothing more....lots of posts don't mean lots of good content.....

for that is what brought me here

Does anyone know if there's a record for the fastest King or something? I post way too much on the ACDG, so I reckon I must be close (when I reach it).

I'm guessing it would be Trip. He might be the fasted to get to emporer too. This is at least since the OT posts stopped being counted. I don't know about earlier though. You can really compare post counts in these two time periods also. I was one of the slowest to King.

Chris62 or Skanky Burns, but I'll bet Chris

I'm a MOO freak. I've been here for a while now and never got around to finding out what those names meant. I actually think I got bumped to Chieftan on the second post of this thread.

Skanky Burns · December 21, 2002, 01:27

I'd say NYE beat me to King.

Well, keep it up and you'll have a custom avatar in no time

Djugashvili racked up over 1600 posts inside 3 weeks, but that was when OT posts counted.

Dauphin · December 21, 2002, 05:28

Check out the members list.

NYE, Gramphos are the most prolific 2001 registrants. Trip the most ubiquitos 2002 registrant.

Straybow · December 21, 2002, 07:01

Ming.

DrSpike · December 21, 2002, 08:29

Nah Ming just (just?) has the most posts.........Trip has like a bazillion posts a day.......even more than Ming. He must be quickest emperor since the change in the OT rules.......not sure who was fastest for King, but I don't think you will make it Drogue.

Dauphin · December 21, 2002, 09:47

I reckon Ming edits his post count.

DrSpike · December 21, 2002, 09:49

Hehe maybe, but he does post a lot. The one whose post count looks a tad suspicious is everyone's favourite admin.

ixnay · December 21, 2002, 19:12

Now that I've got a spiffy underlined title, I figure I can take my time making it to emperor-level.

I'm not sure about that. His case closed alone must be worth 3000 posts for him.

Harry Seldon · December 21, 2002, 19:47

Good lord, I'm a rookie! Looks like I'll have to go to the remote woodland cabin to begin my training in earnest. Maybe with perseverance and a little fortitude, I, too, can attain the title "Emperor."

Jon Shafer · December 21, 2002, 19:56

Helping to set up and run two different Democracy Games will do wonders for your post count.

Before those, it was a struggle to get to 500 to get an avatar... that took a couple months and I sort of wandered off for a bit, but once I started up with the Civ 3 Demo Game, my PC exploded and I had over 22 posts per day.

Every now and then I'll hit a 'peak period' where I'll have a lot of stuff to post and take care of, but right now I'm in a lull.

I'll be the fastest to deity though, I can assure you that.

Dauphin · December 22, 2002, 06:36

If you start closing in on Ming's postcount you'll get a PCR for impertinence

spartak · December 22, 2002, 06:52

There is a theory that the "gods" of Apolyton vet those about to reach Diety and adminster massive PCRs if they believe they are unworthy.

Didn't someone get a 5000 post reduction once?

Skanky Burns · December 22, 2002, 06:58

I'm not sure, but PH used to be a deity. He's about 2k shy now.

Dauphin · December 22, 2002, 07:01

MtG administered that one.

spartak · December 22, 2002, 07:09

That's ring, didn't he get something like 3000 post PCR. Is that the worst ever?

alva · December 22, 2002, 07:13

Only 5 deity's at the moment
Ming
MarkG
Mao
Imran Siddiqui
Alexander's Horse

And Trip, I' know for fact, you don't have the highest post average at the moment
