Prince, King and Deity are awful tinny kind-of-words.
Warlord, now there's a nice woody sounding word.
Whasp... gorn...
Emperor is nice and woody too.
Really, I don't. I like being a prince.
To me, a king just feels like a round blobby word, a dark solid staid word that inspires feelings of tradition, and boringness. A Prince is just as regal, its sharper, less powerful, but more dangerous, and just the right amount of mediocrity. Plus, a king brings to mind an adult, a prince - a youth. I'm 16, I'm not ready to be a king, I'm not mature enough.
Emperor is a good title. It smacks of power. I might reach that by Christmas 2002, which is too long as a King for my liking. A king is just not a title that suits me.
I have posted here for 6 months, and averages about 4 posts per day. Shouldn't a king be a person who has been here a long time, and rules some segment of something? I don't spam a lot, but the relative frequency of my posts makes me a king far before those "kings" of Apolyton who are still Princes.
I don't want the status. I don't like it. I do like Prince.
Please, please, please could there be a way to keep my postcount (for administrative purposes for me and DarkCloud) but keep my title as Prince?
If not, then could there be a way to give me a 49%PCR everytime I hit 999 posts? Just enough so I can keep my lovely avatar, but avoid the responsibilities of monarchy. I would of course keep a record of the number of voluntary PCRs.
Please, I implore you. Don't subject me to the dullness of kingship. Don't force me into Apolyton boredom for 2000 posts. Let me be young, quick and a post-newbie poster for a little while longer.
Thankyou so much to any lovely life-saving Admin or Mod who can grant my wish. I shall forever be in your debt.
The Prince is dead in 17 posts. Not long live the King!

I don't think we'll fall for this. of course, your title can be changed to "Prince", and put statically. If you want... and postcount be kept.

Fall for what?
Yeahof course, your title can be changed to "Prince", and put staticallyThats what I want.
Kept as normal, rising one per post, or kept static as well, at 984?and postcount be kept.
seems to me you can get away with a lot when you try !!!!

We can only keep your postcount normal. There's, AFAIK, no way to put the post count static, we can only give you a 1 post PCR each time you post manually.

Be grateful that you are a king, making your way closer to the upper echelons of the Apolytoners, although you still have a long way to go yet

But thats the point, I don't want to be in the upper echelons of Apolytonners. Its just a gross display of how little else you have to do...

I see you are an emperor now Ras. I must say that I am not entirely surprised. Thanks to your recent performance, the new expression 'pulling a Rasputin' has been added to the Apolyton lexicon

UR, I did.
Rasputin, stop revealing my cunning plan to really democratise post-count titles (see that thread with my vastly over-complicated scheme), rather than Commy-fying them. If I can start of slowly and subversivly, maybe it'll be easier for others.
I have been a Prince for over two years, it does get tiresome.

IW, why do you even care about this stuff?
The titles are staying, as is the PC, we debated this to death.
The only thing your doing now is pulling a Rasputin!

He figures that if he claims to dislike higher titles as he posts, then he won't be running a gambele of Mark giving him the "Rasputin Special" (PCR on the assumption that to post 200 times in a month on the "Apolyton" boards, you've gotta be spamming).

Raz, you did see that post. It was the really complicated scheme where everyone chose their own title, subject to peer review etc. etc.
Chris, I'm not at all bothered about my post-count, except that it provides me a way of keeping count of how much time I wast... use here. re titles, I think they are fun, but just as you were against being labelled a spammer, I am against being labelled a king.
If Marcos doesn't pass judgement soon, I might have to "pull a Da Shi" and postin every thread here, tempting a 2 week ban and 20% PCR.
KH: au contraire, I like the higher titles, just not King. I would not in the least object to a PCR if it kept me a Prince, but I'd need one every few months, and it would be easier to just fix my title
Diss: If I spam, I will become a king in two posts. I have no DLs to admit to.
I think I could live with being an emperor, but a) that might never happen, and b) I like being a prince. It fits my psycological mould.always fixed or do you want it unfixed whe you get past king level
I think not. I can hardly kill off the Immortal Wombat as a login now can I?hey now theres anothr soloutin , make a DL and get that to just under king level and so on and so on ....

you could always spam to get that reduced.
Or you could admit to having DL's like I did. I went from being almost an emporer, to king for a lifetime.
ok i think i vaguely recall that, it was way too complicatedOriginally posted by Immortal Wombat
