I've noticed that the site assigns you a rank based on your number of posts (indeed, I found a topic about it further down this board). My question is, is there any chance of an alternative structure?

I like to think of myself more as a Wrack/Acothyst/Haemonculus/Ancient than a Warrior/Sybarite/Trueborn/Archon. I think this is because I like cutting up my minitaures and gluing them back together (and it certainly has nothing to do with my hideous deformity elephant ).

You may well reply that it's more effort than it's worth, but it might be fun to allow people to choose a type when they register, which would then dictate their rank progression. If you were going to do it I think you'd also need to offer Wych/Hekatrix/Syren/Succubus as well, for completeness.

I back this idea. Alternative ranks could be quite cool.

I as a fellow Haemonculus third this idea.

I'm cool with it as long as I can still have my dream custom rank of Haemonculus Ancient.

Agreed it would be nice, but the forum hosting system being used at the moment is somewhat limited, so it may or may not be an option (hopefully sky can comment on this), though I believe at some point we will probably be migrating to a more customisable system.

As long as I can still be the only arena champion! Razz

I indeed looked at this a while ago and do so every now and then. It'd be awesome to have different rank branches, kabalite, wych cult, coven etc but it appears that there is no way to do this on Forumotion.

What I will say is if you find a way to do something such as this, or another way to mod using Forumotion then I am open to all ideas. Adding the flags was something I found by googling forumotion mods etc.

I'll see what I can do. Very Happy

Without going much into the idea of different rank branches, how about restructurizing our current ranks?

1: Unworthy
2-10: Slave
11-49: Low-Life
50-149: Kabalite Warrior
150-299: Sybarite
300-499: Kabalite Trueborn
500-749: Dracon
750-999: Incubus
1000-1499: Hierarch
1500-1999: Archon
2000 and more: High Archon

Also, how about making these titles always visible and the custom titles for mods and the like be additional? So Mushkilla would be a Hierarch and Arena Champion, ESE a Good Little Space Elf Archon etc. Is that possible, software-wise?

We've gotta do something about that "Good Little Space Elf" business Mad
