The Ranking System

Post by PurpleSquerkle »

Underneath your name and above your avatar, you will find an image. It looks like a health bar from Egoboo, and there is a monster above it.
This changes depending on how many posts you have.
I think by now a lot of us know exactly what is reached at what number of posts, but some people might want to be surprised. So if you want to post a list, do so in spoiler tags.

This rank actually means very little. People with "higher ranks" are not worth any more than people with "lower ranks." The real measurement of your value to the project comes from how much you have contributed, not how many posts you have.
Besides, everyone should be treated the same anyhow.
Unless they're jerks or morons. But fortunately we don't have many of those.

...Just kidding, we really don't have any at all.


Moving on. Once you gain 2500 posts you can achieve the rank of "senior member." At that point you may choose to have any monster you want in your rank icon.
It does not have to be implemented into the game, but it must meet the following conditions:
1. It must be a monster. No human characters or objects (humanoids like Zombis and pseudo-objects like Mimics are OK).
2. It must have a model and skin; I really don't want to spend the time to make new models and skins for everyone who reaches 2500 posts (especially since the former is quite time-consuming for me and I'm not the greatest at it).

Your rank bar will always be full (ten points) and red, and the part of your rank in parentheses will be "(Senior member)". But for thye actual monster part you can have anything you want (as long as it fits the conditions stated above).

These rules may change a bit later; they're not set in stone.
Also, remember to be patient as it won't happen immediately; I have to make the image and upload it, and then Zefz has to set you up with the proper rank.

I think that's it for now...

Hmm, are the images taken from model viewer?

I can make skin for the rank thingy someone wants, if someone is too lazy. (if anyone ever reaches that many posts) :)

Like me, for example.
I need to decide what image I want.

I personally will go for a Gonne and a Pistol and a Magic Crossbow on a gun rack or something. And maybe a Sword in a sheath.
