Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Since there's no updated list of titles in the FAQ, would some mod or admin who's in the loop be so kind as to post a list for us miscellaneous body parts of Avadon?

Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Weird. I see it in the FAQ just fine. For those who cannot see them, here they are: Quote: 0 Initiate 50 Warrior 200 Shaman 400 Sorceress 600 Shadowwalker 800 Blademaster 1000 Hand of Avadon 2500 Eye of Avadon 4000 Heart of Avadon 6000 Hero 8000 Legend 10000 Postmaster General 15000 Your Postliness 25000 Postaroni, Pizzabella!

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Interesting. I kind of liked the Geneforge-themed titles, especially the upper-echelon ones like Councilor. Ah well, the new Avadon ones aren't bad. Are there fewer different titles now, though? It seems to me like the old list was longer. Edit: I do like being a Shadowalker better than being a Sorceress, I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yes, it is shorter for lack of ranks to work with at this juncture of the series. The ordering of the character classes is arbitrary. You get to join Avadon at 1,000 posts. The order of Hand and Eye are arbitrary, but it's quite clear that Heart is above them. The ranks above are retained from the past two sets of titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I saw my new title today. At first I was overjoyed. Then I realized it read "Eye of Avadon", and not "Eye of Argon". :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Huh. Interesting. I sorta like these better than the old Geneforge ones. Also, I'm apparently a heart of Avadon. Man, I can't decide whether this is a testament to how much I post, or a testament to how much my posting has slowed down. Still, at some point in the future, I'd sorta like to see a title system that combines titles from all three games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Actually, we don't have those powers any more. At least, not very functionally: we can try to, but most of the time it will fail for inexplicable reasons. Hooray, UBB. Once upon a time only admins could give custom titles. Drakey gave out a bunch in spurts when he was an admin, but the last major spurt was in early 2006. Then there was a very brief time, during the switch to UBB.threads in 2007, when anyone could give themselves a title; and since then mods could do it, but with gradually and bizarrely diminishing powers that are now mostly gone. That's the real reason custom titles are so rare among newer members. They were easier to get in the old days: all you needed was for an admin to think you were an interesting person. Important had nothing to do with it: Drakey gave me a custom title when I'd been here about 2 months, was not a mod, and had not yet done the comic strip or the deathmatch or the vlish exposé or that first strategy central, or even much with EE. On the other hand, I had started a karma topic and gotten in spitting wars with TM and Thralni. So, yeah. The lack of new mods mostly stems from the fact that there isn't much for the mods to do these days. The forums are pretty friendly. Spambots are rare.

Well-Actually War Trall In Half Now Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The Cartographer isn't even that much of a custom title, because more than one people have it. I know at least silver and Rache are Cartographers, but perhaps there's more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Niemand Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 UBB claims that there are only 31 custom titles extant (excluding 'BANNED'), of which only 'Chicken God' appears to be shared by multiple accounts. This post was, in fact, mostly an excuse to use the word 'extant'. I love that word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 When I first joined, I noticed these weird titles, and dreamed of one day becoming an Interloper. Then there was a brief period when UBB changed, when anyone could just give themselves any title they wanted. It was every bit of the tiny satisfaction I had hoped it would be.

Well-Actually War Trall Synergy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Alorael, how did you miss out on the opportunity to assign your own title when we did the UBB upgrade? I seem to vaguely recall you declining to title yourself at that time on principle, but I think I know the real reason—it's like when two people who are never quite romantically involved on a series TV show for years finally break the sexual tension and get together, and then it all gets so boring after that. If he ever finally got a custom title, Alo would lose his identity of The Protester of Many Names with no title. -S- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
