somewhere REALLY out there
This is more of a personal interest of mine. I'm curious how many of you think that we should add some postcount titles to compensate for the two new difficulty levels coming up in Conquests. If so, then how many posts should you post before you can acheive that rank and anything else associated with it, if anything.
 
Well, considering we didn't update the titles for Civ 3, and we're still using the civ 2 difficulties as titles, I'd say no.

Oh good lord, just go on a 300 post spamfast like the rest of us did so you can change that and your avatar to customized material. There is a reason for OT...
 
You can change your title before 300 posts... It would be a bit of a waste of time as this change would affect so few.
 
I don't think we should, but if you want to set up a system for yourself involving Conquests custom titles (once you have 30 posts), go right ahead. ;)
 
I know that you can create your own when you get 30, but I just was curious if anyone would like this. BTW, the difficulty level names have remained the same in Civ3. As for the spamming, if you'd look at the forum rules, there is to be NO spamming. I'm just going to post whenever I have something to contribute. It's not an issue of number of posts for me. If it was all about that, I would have done that months ago.
 
Difficulty level names didn't remain the same from civ 2 to civ 3, in civ 3 they changed Prince and King to Regent and Monarch.
 
Hmm... you're right. It's been years sice I've played Civ2. Looking at Civ3 and thinking hard about the other two (Prince and King sound familiar), I've come to the conclusion that I'm wrong about what I said earlier. I know that there's the old Civ2 forums, but most of the news that I've seen recently has been about Civ3 (I'm mainly considering updates to game of the month and additions recorded on the front page, not updates on Conquest, or other material like that). You could use the same logic to say that this is a Civ1 site. If I remember right, those same difficulty level names were used for Civ1 also. So who's to say that Civ1's not at the heart of this site? The thing is that Civilization is at the heart of this site, not just one specific version of it. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but it seems to me that there are more Civ3 posters now, as it seems like they have more forums. I'm not trying to make this a debate about Civ2 and Civ3, and, if you'd like, you could change it. It's mainly about the rank thing.

No one else is considering the second part of my first post in this thread. I was curious mainly how a Sid rank would work out, as in a possibly higher quality avatar (or larger, but their limit's already good enough), exclusive forums, or whatever. I'm mainly trying to see if the civ fanatics here would like an extended title ranking system.

Don't worry about what other posters say about spamming. Feel free to continue contributing good posts. :thumbsup:

Pay attention though when mods say it - only the mods decide what's spam, and what's not. ;) :p
 
It should definitely stay as-is, though virtually nobody uses it.

Interesting idea, but I'd have to say no to that. It could make newer members feel excluded if there's a 'special' forum. Also, what about those posters who have been here a while but don't spam/post much? Other things, like bigger avatars or images in signatures, aren't here for a reason.
Is there anything else you had in mind?
 
Hmm... How about special previews of upcoming stuff on this site. Perhaps some more smilies that are exclusive for them. Even an enhanced user cp would be nice. I know that we can preview our posts before we post them, but it would be nice if we could see exactly how it would look while we're typing it in. Perhaps, if Firaxis is willing, they could get a preview a day or two in advance before they release an interview, or something else. I'd personally like to know what you'd like and what amount of posts you have to have before you can enjoy these features. It doesn't look like we have much support for adding two levels, but perhaps there could be incentives for getting to the Deity status.
 
For now I see no reason. Maybe if someday the site will go through a major update we can update such things as well. Untill then leave it as it is.
