feneur Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 As you may have noticed there are custom titles displayed above the avatars in the forum. They are based on the post count and can be changed to whatever we want them to be. Currently they include things like "Community Drunk" and "Community Addict", but we would like to change them into something better, preferably to do with the ancient world. This is where you come in, please add your suggestions to this thread Currently there are 15 ranks, ranging from no posts to impossibly many, and we can add more, so there's room for plenty of suggestions. Anything related to the Ancient world, and is not a bad thing to have displayed in your profile goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteTreePaladin Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Centurion and Legionnaire are self explanatory. I imagine we could tie in quite a few to their actual numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldandil Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Because of Wildfire Game's origins as the Rome At War mod, I suggest naming them all after ancient Roman military and civilian ranks, and all in correct Latin.But obviously the bottom should be some citizen rank, not "slave" Edited May 22, 2012 by Aldandil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gudo Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) I've seen some board where users could make their own title. Perhaps we could get that for people who post enough? Otherwise, Roman ranks is the way to go IMO Edited May 22, 2012 by gudo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MishFTW Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'd go with the Roman ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sef Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Will there be pictures to go with them? Maybe helmets or weapons would look cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daudbinbutrus Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yeah, the Roman (and by Roman I mean Latin) titles are the way to go I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhyloc Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Whoa nice! But would it be unfair to have Roman names only? How about other civilizations?(And yes I post this just to see my new title ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Whoa nice! But would it be unfair to have Roman names only? How about other civilizations?(And yes I post this just to see my new title )If we mix languages, then the ranks won't make sense as a coherent progression, from low to high.

hhyloc Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hmm, if we have some kind of customizable forum theme (Romans theme, Persians theme, Hellenes theme...) , then we could implement different ranks of each theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 Personally I would like to keep it the way it is not just because of the consistency aspect but also because the Romans were one of the best military forces in the ancient world.
