I Don't Want To Be A King !!

[Immortal Wombat]

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!

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.

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.

spamming

seems to me you can get away with a lot when you try !!!!

[Immortal Wombat]

Fall for what?

of course, your title can be changed to "Prince", and put statically

Yeah Thats what I want.

and postcount be kept.

Kept as normal, rising one per post, or kept static as well, at 984?

[Solver]

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 .

[Immortal Wombat]

That sounds perfect. Normal postcount, fixed title of Prince.



Right so now I know you can, will you ?

Cheiftain is more porcelain and cheese I would say ( )

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 like having that long way to go as a buffer zone

14 left, use them sparingly, my son

wel if you jsut stop posting you wont become a king !!!

[Provost Harrison]

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

I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

Damn

At least I had the good sense to start this thread with 18 posts left to go
