Title: Founders
Post by: Demonocracy on May 27, 2014, 07:02:04 AM
Everyone's a founder except me!  I was two days late to that ride.  : (

I'd like to be a Cleric or something, at least!

My guess is that you will at some point get to cleric if you keep posting. The forum seems to have a title system in place that gives you a title based on the number of posts. Laborer from 10+ posts, and I've seen Vendor (50+) and Trader (100+ ?) as well. I'm sure the cleric is in there (or otherwise @solarscreen might add it after reading this).

Edit: you'll probably be a farmer too at some point, no matter how much you abandon it (http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=91.0). ::)

I think Demonocracy meant the 'Founders' label above the label the goes by number of posts (laborer, vendor, etc...).  If I'm not mistaken, that label was used for folks from the original SRS forum who supported establishing this site and then signed up here.

To whom much is given, much is required!

@solarscreen -- In the event that this is something approaching a democracy, I fully support your decision.  Demonocracy is obviously passionate about Banished and has, in a short time, contributed to this forum, making it that much more interesting.  Probably more than I have (but don't read too much into that :) ).

Totally agree.

Some people are more prolific than others. And @Demonocracy seems to be one of them  :D

I have also enjoyed reading his posts (you are a he, right?).

But there again, I've read all the posts in these forums.
So far, I have not encountered any that wasn't interesting in some way.

@Boris_amj - @Demonocracy is a gal/female/lady if I remember correctly from SRS.

Ah, so much for my reading all posts.

I guess I should have deduced that earlier...

Especially when she said this in the Aesthetics thread:
"I don't know what your gender is (nor anyone else's), but I'm a female and I prefer straight lines."

Which I think is a very strong hint  :P

Gasp!  I'm a founder now too!

Thanks, everyone.  I saw some really nice words, and I'm bashfully appreciative of your kindness.  : )

Well, one more post and you'll be upgraded from Laborer to Vendor ...

[EDIT]
I mean you need 50 posts to be a Vendor.

@Demonocracy -- Congratulations, development of the Grand Unified Theory of Banished is yours.  By tomorrow noon would be fine.  ;)

Your guesses are correct, @Kaldir.

You'll need 500 posts to reach the top rank: Architect.

I was about to insert a "Cleric" rank for 250 posts, but I realised it messes up with the star system, so I'll let @solarscreen sort that out.

I'm going to have to request an extension on that deadline... but it's a work in progress!

I can't view the ranks--or at least I don't know how to do so.  What are all the ranks and requirements for each?  Or how do I view them?

You need to be a Moderator, @Demonocracy.

But here is a screenshot of the section in question.

Ahh.  Thanks for the view of the ranks.

I'm curious as to why the last rank is Architect.  Is it because it also means Builder?  I noticed that all the other ranks are specific terms in Banished while that one breaks the mold. 

That said... architect does sound better than Builder--so I get that.

It's because at some point in playing Banished, you realize we are in the Matrix...

Why, yes, of course. Er ... very obvious  :o
