I'm really curious what title you get for 450 posts, but I'm too impatient to post three times now to find out.

Pretty easy to work out what the scales have to be based on this:

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

The titles are really dated, and mostly reference older cards. Should we come up with new ones?

It has been discussed before, but the man who would need to make the change (theory) is mostly not involved in the community anymore, so the likely-hood of getting a change made is slim.

Number of posts | Rank

0 | Newbie
1-4 | Pawn
5-9 | Herbalist
10-14 | Pearl Diver
15-19 | Swindler
20-24 | Chancellor
25-29 | Steward
30-34 | Ambassador
35-39 | Alchemist
40-44 | Scout
45-49 | Coppersmith
50-59 | Baron
61-69 | Salvager
70-79 | Navigator
80-89 | Spy
90-99 | Thief
100-124 | Bishop
125-149 | Young Witch
150-174 | Moneylender
175-199 | Golem
200-249 | Conspirator
250-299 | Apprentice
300-349 | Explorer
350-399 | Duke
400-449 | Tactician
450-499 | Witch
500-749 | Minion
750-999 | Jester
1000-1499 | Saboteur
1500-1999 | Torturer
2000-2499 | Mountebank
2500-2999 | Margrave
3000-3999 | Cartographer
4000-4999 | Governor
5000+ | Adventurer

There's a couple of weird things in there. For one thing, Newbie is not a card. Then, Potion costs are ignored so Alchemist is with the $3 cards and Golem with the $4 cards. And the ranges of posts are really small at first but the thresholds for 'leveling up' get a lot steeper after 100, and then again after 500.

Also, the ranks are tied to cost of the Dominion cards, but by no means to their strength. It's weird to see Swindler below Chancellor and Salvager below Spy and Thief. Not to mention Adventurer being the top rank...

My thoughts:
-I like having the ranks tied to costs, and want that to stay.
-Following the above, I would like the cards to be dropped, although Overlord would be great as a title, despite it's cost of . -I'm fine with no card name for 0 posts, but maybe "Watcher", "Observer", or "Stalker" instead.
-Definitely represent some of the newer expansions, Ranger, Page, and Journeyman would be some good ones.
-Prince would be great as the top, because at the only cards costing more could be Possession (), Fortune (), Some of the Castles (-), Colony and Platina at &, and some events ( and), none of which are people.
-Keep the names only as people.

Isn't it to be expected that the ranges get progressively more "difficult" to get? 25 is a number that we perceive as significant and so is 30, but 4825 isn't and the next real milestone at that point is 5000.

IIRC, the ranks are supposedly tied to how cool the name sounds instead of strength.

That's true, but I'd argue that 600 and 700 are more milestone-ish than 35, 45, 350 and 450.

My thoughts:
-I like having the ranks tied to costs, and want that to stay.
-Following the above, I would like the cards to be dropped, although Overlord would be great as a title, despite it's cost of . -I'm fine with no card name for 0 posts, but maybe "Watcher", "Observer", or "Stalker" instead.

-Prince would be great as the top, because at the only cards costing more could be Possession (), Fortune (), Some of the Castles (-), Colony and Platina at &, and some events ( and), none of which are people.
-Keep the names only as people.

I agree with most of what you're saying. Overlord should be the top rank though - it sounds more badass than any other card name, easily beating Prince there, and you could argue that Overlord and Prince are kind of the same cost, although Overlord is easier to get because you don't have to pay it all at once. Yes, I know it's not officially the same currency, but it's easier to compare normal cost and debt than to compare normal cost and Potion.

Oh, and 0 posts should maybe be Survivor(s).

I would also kinda like Champion as the top one, because it sounds cool as well and as a Traveller it has that "takes a long time to get there" thing going. Teacher is good as well.

Oh, and having smaller steps at first is fine to me. There's quite a few people out there who contribute onl occasionally and it's nice for them to have some sense of progress. If ou're a regular, well you will also get those higher rankings in time.

Definitely vote Overlord for the top one.  It should be 5000 Champion and 10000 Overlord or something.

Trusty Steed, Familiar, Golem, Magpie, and Rat aren't people, though.

I'd much prefer to choose my title. I don't want to be a Saboteur or Torturer. Maybe I'll stop at 999 posts and make a new account. That would be nicer than making a couple thousand completely dud posts as soon as I hit 1K.
I hope that if the rankings are redone, that I get to be called a Storyteller.

Maybe the respect should also be considered for the title? It is "easy" to post many useless things ;-)

So, we've had this discussion after pretty much every expansion since Dark Ages, and theory didn't change anything after any of those, so I think it's unlikely he'll do anything now.  I mean, you can ask, but don't get your hopes up.

As for why Adventurer in the 6-star slot: go look at theory's avatar.
