    Most regulars would be deity if OT posts counted.

      WEll- then you could have a mid-level between emperor and deity.

      and then Sid could be 20,000

      Sid- 20K
      Deity- 10K
      Demigod- 5K or 6K
      Emperor- 3K

      Although, personally, i think that the Sid level is the only necessary one Demigod sounds sort of tacky I'd rather be an emperor than a Demigod

      Indeed. Once you reach Emperor, there is no major goal to shoot for. You need to more than triple your post count just to get to the next rank.
      You could try to get more posts than the person immediately above you in the Top 20 posters chart that's what keeps me active alhtough make a conscious effort to make every one of my posts count- which translates into many hours spent on apolyton- especially since I've already discussed most things worth discussing.

        Or you could demonstrate that the whole post count thing is ridiculous by editing your profile (well, if you have access to that part ) and removing seven thousand or so posts like I did.

        It won't hurt you.

          Ahem... That is, most OT regulars... I hope since this is still an Apolyton *Civilization* site, and not Apolyton OT site, that one does not define a person as a regular by the amount of posts they make in the OT.

              Okay, I'm already a demi God so you'll have to choose another title for that one.

              I could graciously agree to AH level if I was approached nicely.

                  Point taken. I do though.

                    Well, as it is, it will only take a few more years with the current system that the DG activists will start to reach the Deity level in larger numbers as DGs create loads of accounted posts (actually could beat even the OTF easily), so maybe then it will be a good idea to change the rankings or make DG posts unaccountable like the OTF. Generally speaking I agree that the scale has to be tighetened quite soon, unless new titles are added after Emperor, because Emperor will otherwise become a very common title.

                      I think one new level should be "Onanist".

                        I'd be all for making the DG posts not count.

                          Heh. I'm too busy designing pages and editing copy/photos when I'm at work to post on the Internet. It's kind of ironic in a way, since I spend at least an hour every night on the Internet at work, downloading photos, stories, professional IM'ing and stuff. Alas, no time for "fun" surfing, though.

                          ... When I see someone with 6000-7000 posts and they've only been active for a year, I get worried.
                          Agreed!
