Title: Forum rankings
Post by: FastJack on <09-04-10/1847:49>
So, how are the rankings set on the forums?


Edit for clarification, updates and stickyed.

A bit of an update on Forum Rankings:


All the staff here at Shadowrun Forums would like to thank you all for making this a great place to hang out! Now, go out there and keep up the great posts!



*Note, we are not changing the policy on posting just to up your post count. If it looks like you're doing this, we will still delete those posts and your count will not go up.

@Caine ~ Question ......

I see you said some people have other titles aside from the post count ones so .....

Any chance of a title for those of us who are Catalyst Demonstration Team Members?

It's almost a "say as much as you can to get a new title" post.

Hey, when you have a "post count +1" thread, it's a shame to not take advantage of it^^
Title: Re: Forum rankings

Exactly!

(see what I did there? ;))
Title: Re: Forum rankings

Why no, I have no idea what you did - let's discuss it at great length though ;)
Title: Re: Forum rankings
Post by: JM_Hardy on <09-06-10/2056:49>
Now, I hate to be Mr. Serious Gloom and Doom Grumpy Pants, but I should point out that the mods have the ability to delete posts, and that deleted posts do not count toward bumping up your ranking, and if they see too much posting-just-to-bump-ranks, they might be prompted to hit that delete button.

In other words, post often, but post with content!

To be fair, most of the people talking in this thread are also posting with a fair amount of density elsewhere as well.

Title: Re: Forum rankings
Post by: Turtletron on <09-07-10/1015:35>
Haha, I can definitly see you guys (FastJack and Casazil) sitting next to each other typing as fast as you can with fiery eyes to know who's the first one to get the new title.

Let's make a poll to see what our fellow chummers think  ;)
Title: Re: Forum rankings
Post by: FastJack on <09-07-10/1035:28>

Unfortunately, Cap left instructions to be cremated in case he died. Didn't want to end up in possession of a Shedim spirit...

Title: Re: Forum rankings
Post by: FastJack on <09-07-10/2326:37>
Lol... I did notice that you seemed to be replying to every post that came up for a while there. I just look at the posts and see if I have something to say/add to the discussion. Most of the time I do, but there are threads I got nothing to add to...

So far I collected the ranks (see my signature). Following the standard ranks for SMF, the next rank will be unlocked on 500 posts. I wonder if they built in ranks after that :)

Post by: FastJack on <09-08-10/1013:35>
It's not like I'm trying. Really. I get like this on message boards, when 'talking' about things I enjoy. I'm part of Candlekeep and the one of the FAWLTers over on the Paizo boards too. I've been known to poke my face in a Wizards, Dumpshock, BT forums and Loremaster, but I have a lot less to say at those forums, mostly due to those boards just not offering me a lot to input into.

Meh, someone somehow somewhere around here isn't going to agree with something you said.  On the plus side, since I've seen no one really flamed yet; perhaps that's a good sign that the rep system will curb some of that behaviour.  At the same time, if you're +25/-2 I think posters will still get an idea whether or not your posts are relevant or not.

Grats on 100 posts.

Yeah, I spend alot of time on the boards because I don't currently have a group to play with. It's hard for me to find players where I live.

Some of these guys post even more than I do, but I'm glad they do, cuz they answer all my questions. Lol.

Congrats to all the newest members of the ranks!

And remember, the reason I post so much is because I have a monthly game and I'm a web designer, so I spend a LOT of time on the net, and I have a lot of time while I wait for stuff to load and/or compile.

Y'know, you'd think that Minnesota, being the birthplace of Dave Arneson and right next to where D&D was born, not too mention one of the best comics & gaming stores I've ever been in; there's be a LOT more gamers around. But if there are, they ain't advertising. The group I'm in plays local, but we only play once a month since some members drive up from Iowa to game (about a 5 hour drive).

Iowa?? Fuck and I thought the 2 hour drive I take twice a month to game was a long way...

I read this and got a great idea for a one off mission were I have the players run innocent bystanders caught up in a Shadowrun.

That actually IS interesting... it would make for an odd game since many skills based around weapons and such likely aren't there (how many accountants know how to operate an LMG?), but that would only mean the players have to find new and interesting ways of accomplishing their goals- like survival- without shooting, advanced hacking beyond what a normal person on the street might know of the Matrix, and limited magic.

Ahh, but anyone can pick up an LMG and "spray and pray". Agility - 1 + Edge (and exploding 6's) means anyone can get lucky -- once. ;)

"And just when I hit Ace Runner...they pull me back down." [1]

"Who's 'they'?"

"You know. Them. The one's pulling me down, taking titles away from me."

"You think titles are important?"

"It's the intertubes, titles are everything...and nothing. Yeah, but you know what? This title, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back." [2]

"You think you have that power, that much control?"

"Control, control, control. When are you gonna realize nothing can be controlled? We live in chaos." [3]

"If we live in chaos, then why do you find the order of having titles so important?"

"Because without that order you got four guys all fighting over who's gonna be Mr. Black, but they don't know each other, so nobody wants to back down." [4]

"Is that how you perceive it? That you are being attacked by men named Mr. Black over titles? Might that not be paranoia?"

"Paranoia is just reality on a finer scale. The question is not whether I am paranoid, but whether I am paranoid enough." [5]

"I'm sure you believe that."

"You would too, if they took your title."

You're thinking Vulcans in regards to the logic -- but you're right about Klingons and Eddaic verse.  Pounding, rushing -- gets into your blood, it does.

Sorry, I was vague haha. I meant that it's more logical for them to be good with Eddaic verse. :P Didn't mean to make it look like I think Klingons are Vulcans!

There's a thread (or, rather, at least two threads) about it elsewhere;  apparently Catalyst is moving a bunch of stuff to new servers, which (a) explains the problem, and (b) hopefully means it'll resolve soon.
