The one who first attains the title of Postaroni, Pizabella! will be granted some sort of gift from the supreme beings who secretly control this site. Some say that the poster will become one with the Internet, others say that a portal will open up to deliver the poster to Exile. No one is truly certain of the result, but it is a goal worth chasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 On the one hand, I'm glad not to ever be subject to Drakey's stupid capstone title. And Legend is a new one for me! On the other hand, I'm sad that I will not plausibly ever reach Postmaster General or Your Postliness again. —Alorael, who thinks he may have to go ahead and title himself. Do you hear that, Garzahd?

Well, I'd like to reach Hero again. We could start a few spam games in the Mod Board and get to our preferred titles again in a few months. Dikiyoba is not seriously suggesting that anyone spams their way to a better title. That would be wrong. And also wouldn't work, unless for some reason the preferred title is "BANNED."

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 At one point there were 3 non-Spiderweb Admins. I believe the beginning of that period is when the Triad Mage titles came about. I think they were custom titles? *i might know better. "Blademaster" was a system-wide replacement title for moderators with no custom title that only appeared on forums they moderated. That's long gone, though.

Hatchling Cockatrice Mea Tulpa Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There was never an official or standard set of custom titles. Mostly they were handed out at the whims (literally: whims) of forum administrators in the past. That power has now expanded somewhat but is still used sparingly (and whimsically). "Cartographer" had been given to handful of users who have done a lot with maps and "BoE Posse" was given to a few scenario designers. But there are also people in those categories with other or no custom title. Likewise with "Triad Mage." I think those were the only repeated titles, but maybe I am forgetting something.
