    150 emperors!

    This is a different strain of milestone than the usual x members threads. It is also an important one as regards DC's list, since IIRC he said a while back that all emperors would make the list, which now would of course require it to be the 'Poly 150.

    Confirmation DC?

    And well all.

    No they are not..
    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

    Many emperors contribute to the site.
    We aren't all demo-gamers.
    I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

    I wonder how many Emperors there were, if OT-posts never counted and Demo-games didn't count either
    This space is empty... or is it?

    Me too

    Only joined a demo game for a few weeks, and I didn't know about this place back when OT-posts counted (When did it change?)

    All I can say is that I'm amazed at how some people — regardless of the forums they participate in (i.e. 'Poly or some other site) — can rack up so many posts that, inside six months to a year, they're near the top when it comes to titles and whatnot.

    So, with that in mind, I tend to value contribution and join dates over titles nowadays. The prince or king who registered in 2001 will likely get a closer read from me than, say, the emperor who registered in June 2003.

    You've got that right


    I wonder how somebody can manage to get a average post on 14+ (Per day that is)

    Like me? Joined on June 2003 and 730 far for being an Emperor?.

    It depends on the free time a person have. The last year for example I had a LOT of free time, that's the reason. And, ok some Demogame posts

    I ocasionally post also in english forums, so I think that help to have a high pc.

    But, it really matters who have a great pc?

    I haven't seen Zen's stats, but I just had a look at HongHu's (sp?) stats, and they are also very amazing... she's got more posts than me I think, and she joined in April or May if I remember correctly... that gives 14 posts per day, while you Slayer "only" has about 10 posts per day


    Damn, if I ever has to get a chance to be Deity, I have to get back to the on-topic forums again



    Would be interesting if we could sort the members list after posts per day

    20 posts a day is insane. And all you emporers need to get a life. I've been here since 99, and I just made it to King a month ago or so. My posts per day beats everyone with .78!

    I wonder who has the lowest post per day?

    I once was like 4th or 5th in total posts. Now, 50th? 150th? Who knows. Plus, Markos once took away 10% of my posts because he didn't get my brother's ass, but that's a long story...
