what, me worry?
True to(rookie) form, I'm lost. I'm sure there is a nice chap out there more than willing to guide me throughout my troubles...
I remember when I first gazed through the Apolyton forums I noticed different folks had different titles,settlers, chief, and so on... Now I cannot find where the info is on the progression. Sure it's a joy settle'n but I'm sure there is so much more out there for me


Thanks guys

Thanks again

The number after the "titles" is the post count. So when you get 31 posts under your belt, you will be a chieftain. I hope this helps answer you question.

You are right, I really should have just edited my first post (which I try to do - honest! ). But after posting my first post, I surfed the other threads then came back to this one and realized that I didn't indicate what the numbers meant....yes, blame it on laziness - it was easier to post a quick reply instead of editing my original post.

Ok, back to the topic at hand .... oh wait, this was the topic.

EDIT: By the way, no thanks needed...I'm glad I could help you out.

See! I do edit my posts.

And, adding on to the post, isn't 500 the mark of a custom avatar? I just reached it, and I do believe I can have one of my own now....hmm, whatever shall I use?

As to the ban smilies, I too would have to voice my ignorance to that one. Could some of the more knowledgable posters inform us?

Instead of typing: "I don't want to be banned" - or a facimile there of, you have the option of using the banned smiley.

Instead of typing: "let me free/unban so and so" you can use the unbanned smiley....and so forth

They are just more options you can use to show your feelings/concerns/fears/hopes/sarcasms/etc... on your posts.

If anybody else has a better explaination - go for it.

Okay so what do you mean by banned? Banned from the sight? Banned from a thread?

What if you get banned after reaching the 500 milestone? Will you lose the chance of creating an avatar?

Ming is, but it's also possible that his Deity-ship is simply a function of his status. I don't know of any non-official Deities.

Look at it this way: Once you make the title of "Prince/Princess" you are only a couple hundred posts away from your customized Avatar. This also give you the time to work on your "perfect" image of you.

Example of using a "ban" smilie:

- I want to be able to set up a basketball match using my lazy workers in Civ3!!!

Actually, I don't want that, but you got the idea...

Over the Ages most all of you have been quite helpful. I have received many different tones of response,for these you have my gratitude.
The ban example is surely unique;how about 'Midnight Basketball ' for the slave workers so as to keep them off the streets at night?
Thanks even more for your support {hope this is not overkill,yet it say a lot}

If you are banned, how can you actually post this??

That's why I typed "let me free" - Free in what ever sense. Then followed it with "unban so and so" - Asking that a another person be unbanned.
