Titles

Just curious (and I'm sure it's somewhere in this forum already, but a quick look and I couldn't find it):

How are the titles under people's names determined on this site? Is it some sort of combination of respect and # of posts? With the more 'credit' getting cards that cost more?

I was unwinding today and thought I would look at the list of what cards were chosen, but couldn't find it anywhere.

I'm pretty sure it's just number of posts, with more posts=more expensive, cooler sounding cards.

You can use the list of members to figure out things, I'm sure it's something like:

2000+: Mountebank
1500+: Torturer
1000+: Saboteur
800+: Jester (for some of these first ones I'm not sure about when they really begin and if some titles in between are missing)
500+: Minion
450+: Witch
400+: Tactician
350+: Duke
300+: Explorer
250+: Apprentice
200+: Conspirator
175+: Golem
150+: Moneylender
125+: Young Witch
100+: Bishop
90+: Thief (10-post-steps? Come on.)
80+: Spy
70+: Navigator
60+: Salvager
50+: Baron
45+: Coppersmith (oh well, when I started this, I didn't though there would be so many distinctions. 5-post-steps, really?)
40+: Scout
35+: Alchemist
30+: Ambassador
25+: Steward
20+: Chancellor
15+: Swindler
10+: Pearl Diver
5+: Herbalist
0+: Pawn

Then there are two people with the title "Administrator". Must be a card from a future expansion.
Oh, and there are some weird, special titles, like "2011 Champion", "Isotropic Designer" and "Game Designer". Wouldn't bother with these users too much, they probably hacked the system and gave themselves these titles.

Do you think at 5000 you get to be a colony?

Governor and Margrave seem like good possibilities. 

Also, I'm almost certain that "Adventurer" is going to be the highest rank that's actually in the system.  It's Theory's avatar, and it's also the only $6 card which is a singular person, so it basically has to be on top.

Oh, well. I was hoping for something like KC or Goons on Possession.

Governor and Margrave weren't available to the public when these were input to the forum, so I doubt they're used.

Presumably the admins could change the titles though?

I'm sure 5000+ posts must be King.

I mean, we all start out as lowly Pawns, so surely we must end up as Kings of our own Dominion one day?

If every level is a single "person" then that rules out cards like Forge and King's Court.

It also rules our plurals like Goons and Nobles.

Adventurer seems like it would be the top...

Except for the highest value card of them all. I think it's obvious that after 5000 posts you get to be a...

Peddler!

Currently the titles cap out at 5000.  I don't think it'll be necessary to go past that any time soon, but heck, I didn't think anyone would go past 1000 posts at first and look where we are now.  When that time comes, WanderingWinder, it would probably entail a serious overhaul of every title to repurpose all of the card names.  Unless Dark Ages is nothing but $6+ cards.  (It isn't.)

The only special ones so far are Game Designer, Isotropic Designer, and 2011 Champion.

Don't forget Administrator! You are special too. :D



And there's moderator, but that's not quite as fun...

These titles always remind me of of Zoolander, in light of which I think the highest title should be "David Bowie."  ;D

Back in the days when I ran forums we had exactly the same problem and had to renumber them.

I used the opportunity to sneak in little messages or insulting words that only lasted for one post, for example:
300 - 398 Posts:  champion
399 Posts: I HATE YOU!!  (Alternatives were also along childish lines, "You smell", "Your momma...", "This poster is a moron"
400 Posts: Avatar.

The funniest thing was usually what happened when people saw them was that they made ANOTHER post to ask about it, and of course when they did that it moved them onto the next title. I'd deny all knowledge and promise to go away and look at the code.

Ahh what fun
