Thank you, snowy, for starting this! (and he didn't nag; he "reminded" )

The other thing is that some Christian members of our forum may not take to kindly to being called wizard or sorcerer, etc.
I think going with detective-types, or names/titles from characters in AGs (minus the magic/wizardry ones) is the safest bet.

I doubt there's anyone that pathetic on this forum. That type of people probably think that computers are witchcraft anyway

Status : Online | I have a question... if someone thinks "sorcerer" is offensive, why wouldn't they have already found "Schattenjager" offensive? After all, the origin of Schattenjagers was gift given to a family of special powers and gifts in order to fight Vampires, Were-beasts and other supernatural evils... the gifts that were bestowed were the abilities to enchant daggars and weild talismans to ward off these evils...
How is that less offensive to those of Christian faith than a sorcerer?
P.S. To those who really care, I would think that Mighty Pirate would be more offensive, especially since pirates are associated with stealing, looting, raping, murder, and other law-breaking practices... plus I bet that pirates don't go to church OR pay their taxes....
anyhoo, sorry that was very [smiley=offtopic.gif]

Hmmm... otherwise.....
"Grand Inquistor" would be a good 'un. And "Journeyman" sounds great too. I'd certainly be happy to see those included. Shake it all up Val!!

Status : Offline | I'm not disagreeing with you. I have no problem with the label of sorcerer or wizard or anything like that. There was just a certain list that went a bit top heavy of the Harry Potter / Fantasy bandwagon. I'd be curious to see how Pastor Disaster would feel about being called a Sorcerer, that's why I threw that comment out there. But then, he doesn't seem to stop by anymore does he?
I prefer a nice varied list that incorporates elements from all AGs, not just one particular type. Pirates from Monkey Island, etc.
I think Chris has the right idea with the direction he was going with his suggestions - all directly related to AGs.

As to anyone really felling awkward, well, they'd just have to hurry up and post more comments to move onto the next level wouldn't they?

So. Harry Potter mania is not rampant here.
Humm.................
Pirates are un-nice people.
Yeah! [smiley=huh.gif]
Okay. Just another two cents worth.
Anyone has a problem with heraldry?
Lets see................
[size=18]Serf-----------------------------------------0-50
Peasant------------------------------------51-100
Freeman/Freewoman--------------------101-200
Baron/Baroness--------------------------201-400
Viscount/Viscountess---------------------401-600
Count/Countess--------------------------601-900
Marques/Marchioness--------------------901-1300
Duke/Duchess---------------------------1301-3000
Grand Duke/Grand Duchess-----------3001-7000
Prince/Princess-------------------------7001-10000
King/Queen----------------------------10001-30000
Emperor/Empress-------------------30000 and beyond
No Harry Potter. [smiley=cry.gif]
No Scurvy Pirates.
No magic..........
No elements from any game. Some might have favorites.
No law enforcement types. "etectives" [smiley=whistle.gif]
No religion.
No political titles.
Well.......................... [smiley=lipsrsealed.gif]
I could have gone lower and said servant or slave. But I kind of thought.
Don't go there! [smiley=shaking_head.gif]
This is just an idea [smiley=wave.gif]

I agree Caroline. I was just throwing that out there as a possibility. You know me well enough to know I don't have a problem with those titles. ALL the titles being along the same lines would be a bit dull though. I would have said a similar thing if the names were all of another theme such as Pirate, Cuthroat, Brigand, etc.
We are a diverse group and our interests in games are diverse, so our forum titles should be just as diverse.

so perhaps janitor should be for posting numbers 2-3 and then you're on to the next...

Status : Offline | How about anyone who doesn't post for 30 days automatically becomes a ghost. Just one post puts them back into their original status? Can that be done? Probably not.
I thought the idea was to suggest appealing titles and Val would decide which we voted on and then it was up to her to arrange them?

I don't think I want a title of Greek Stud. :
I'm terrible with names. One of my cat's is named Momma because she is the mother and the other one is Little Grey because she was the little grey kitten...
But I'll try a few:

Yeah, I'm drawing a blank here.
It's 3:30 am, maybe I should sleep on it.

| Deleted User | One of the levels, preferably the highest one, should be Official Forum Potato.
Although I also like Andromus' idea of allowing you to fill in your own title at the highest level.
Personally, I don't think there's much point in increasing the post count requirements- over the 2 years this forum has been open, only 21 people have passed the highest level. There are few people who are likely to ever pass 5000, let alone tens of thousands as suggested by ShadowWalker. I think if the top posters could change their titles, it'd solve the problem of being stuck at the top with nowhere to go without having to revamp the post count scheme.
