Hehe yeah.....I remember the avatar shop being popular just as I joined......but I didn't know they were a new addition.

the 100 list is about history. if you want to make a list of purely active members, fine. but it hardly measures up to DarkCloud's list. It shouldn't be easy to make the list, you have to put in years of effort to make it on. Besides, Civ3 is often more spammy than the OT is today, or have you missed the fact that we have 4 mods to clamp down on us?

[CapTVK]

Wasn't there some sort of top 100 based on merit? Post count aside, there a lot of on topic posters (scenarios, tools, utils, list making) who've made a lasting impact on the civ community thanks to that.

DC does run a hall of fame, with inductees every so often.

[Skanky Burns]

Although people with a larger post-count do tend to get voted for more than lower post-count people. A motion to restrict people from being voted in with less than 1000 posts was defeated.

[DarkCloud]

I do think it is a little unfair that many of the posters who were here several years ago got to spam there way to Empirer on the OT while the rest of us actually have to work for our posts

Well, they received many PCRs back in those days

And there were the forum wars between the CTP OT and Civ II OT
(Yes there were 2 OTs, but that was before I started posting- and possibly before I started viewing- aug 1999... It took posters a long time to get to Emperor) When I made emperor, we only had about 25... now we have 40
...
and OT posts no longer count.

Who're the spammers now?

[H Tower]

we have a lot more than 40 emperors now DC. closer to 70, with a couple deities thrown in too

[Skanky Burns]

87 Emperors to be precise. Yes, I do have too much free time at the moment.

We still have 5 deities, and around 300 or so Kings.

HershOstropoler…
According to Google its the name of a court jester to an C18-19th Rabbi.

Man, what kind of job is that? Court jester to a Rabbi?

"What, you call that a joke? Listen, I've hoid bettah jokes from the tax collectah. Take my court jester… please!"

[alva]

Whats is a court jester anyway?

[H Tower]

he makes jokes and does tricks (like juggling) on command to entertain the king.

Seems to fit Roland like a glove.

Hmm, could be,
but it sounds more like one size fits all


Edit: added one

[Scouse Gits]

Court jester - otherwise known as 'fool' was a person who entertained the court by singing, telling jokes and generally acting the fool - often they were also spies and councillors for ruler...

Come on now Lucutus. I've made a couple of good posts now and then.
