New Post Count Levels

[-Jrabbit]

Sorry, but it's pretty hared to deny that the DGs are on topic.

I predict most DGers will become bored and fade away long before they reach deity. (But I must admit, 6K in a year is pretty outrageous.)

[DrSpike]

Whilst I would find it very amusing if the DG's posts stopped counting, I have to agree with JR that it would be manifestly unfair.

[Maniac]

If DG posts don't count, no posts at all should count.

edit: (Though of course I'm biased as last year in July I only had some 900 posts...)
edit2: (But then again, since I'm already an old member since 1999, one could argue I'm simply matching my post count with the time I've already been here...)

[Rasbelin]

Anyone noticed yet that all those oppsing the idea are DG people while those in favour are all non DG people? However Oerdin does make an exception.

[Skanky Burns]

DG's contribute to the site in their own way. Their post counts should stay, and continue to be a source of +1's.

But then OT posts contribute to Apolyton too - many people stay here just for the OT discussion.

[-Jrabbit]

I agree that OT is part of the site and does make a definite contribution to Poly's cultural gestalt, albeit non-Civ-related. Maybe OT posts should have a prorated count, maybe +1 per 10 posts, or +1 per thread...

Or maybe there could be "dual citizenship" rankings...?

On Topic = Settler/Chieftain/etc.---/Deity
Off Topic = Newb/Semi-noob/etc.---/Loudmouth

How many posts for loudmouth?

[rah]

How many does sava have?

[SpencerH]

Post counts seem kinda meaningless when a one word answer gives the same result as a multi-paragraph diatribe.

[Rasbelin]

If DGs count, then so should the OTF.

I'd easily be an Emperor if not for that hefty PCR and the fact that 90% of my posting is done in the OT.

I'd easily be an emperor if I posted more

There is very little in this thread to make me think that this is any more than a "mine is bigger" contest.

Q: Who advocates the hardest for OT posts to count again?

A: OT posters.

What's your point?

I doubt that dan/mark will expend the time- but it is worth wondering... strange that Sid has achieved super-deity status in his games

hi ,

thsi was asked months ago to Dan and Mark , the answer was that it was nearly impossible cause loads of things would have to be changed , .......

have a nice day
