I've noticed that we only have three demarcations of poster here at DSF: Targets, Moving Targets, and Running Targets.
I don't wanna be a target forever.
So here's an alternative progression that I'd like us to use...
Target
Moving Target
Running Target
Shooting Target
Neophyte Runner
Runner
Veteran Runner
Prime Runner
Immortal Elf
Dragon
Great Dragon

Thoughts?

Considering the increasingly fragile nature of the board as it is, I kinda doubt we'll see anything like that. Besides, they pretty much gave up on fun titles a loooong time ago. I still miss being a Tasty Human. <kicks an empty can all pathetic-like>

Nitpick: IEs are usually better than regular Dragons, and only the best IEs are better than any GD. (Harlequin and Ehran are two of the big ones that come to mind.)

I have to admit I like variety in titles, though I dislike the elitism that often accompanies them.

Agreed, though I don't think many of us are petty enough to resort to post count for how "right" somebody is.

Can never please you.

I was just being a dork. Thanks for adding a little spice to the board. But like Kanada Ten said, I hope it doesn't lead to post pumping or elitism as it often has in the past.

*celebrates*
Thankees.

I was going to bitch about being jealous of the Doc, but I like my shiny new title.

I feel special

Posts to see where he's at currently.

Or just check one of your previous posts.

Do....I have a new title?

*Posts and checks*

No.

Right on

Thanks Admins, I missed the old titles. <points> I am a dragon, all bow down before me!

Suddenly I want the post count from my old account added onto this one...

Yeah, an extra 3000+ posts.

Well, then we'd have to start coming up with new titles.
Quite possibly "Sexy Dikoted Ally Spirit."

Hm. Am I special?

[edit]

No, baby, I am not special.

No, Sexy Dikoted Ally spirit in the form of a AVS.

Hey Adam (or any admin), any chance we can get the post count to accuratly reflect the number of posts.

Darth Phylos and Hot Wheels hardly have any posts, yet they are in the top ten....

Probably because they were heavy posters in the Lounge. Now that it's been deleted, so have those messages, but their post count remains. Just a guess.

And A good one, but since they don't show up, nor do they post here anymore, it is unfair that there names desecrate err uh populate the top ten.

Hey now, it isn't elitism. Or at least not the bad kind.

I have come, and have always come to discuss and play Shadowrun here. Not to bash my country or argue why all narcotics should be available to children.

I post 20 or 30 times a day, real posts, about SR and in the games system. I have crawled up from # 50 to number 8. I think that is an acomplishment for a guy with two full time jobs and a wife and baby. Is it Elitism to want just a little bit of recognition for being in the community this long? Maybe, but not the bad kind. As soon as the lounge closed down Phylos and the others stopped posting here. They did not come to play, or discuss SR, they came to abuse people.

Why reward that?

Fair enough, guess I will just have to keep posting. Thanks for the quick response Adam.

*blowtorches early appearence of post-title elitism*

Hmm, you have a good point Kage, and I hadn't thought about it in those terms. I really wasn't trying to be elitist or mean. To me post count and such is a sign of how long someone has been on. I don't think people on DSF would be so childish as to pad there count by posting in some random thread. Because I don't think they would I see someone with a high post count I tend to give them a little deference and some respect. At least I know they have been around for a while.

Now maybe I am a little prideful, but the majority of my posts are in "Welcome to the Shadows". That tells me that I like playing SR, not that you don't if you aren't the same. It also tells me I have no life

Well I do, but I don't have a table top game up here. Anyways, no offense meant, and I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me.

(Though I still look eagerly to the days when I hit Fortune!)

Ain't gonna happen!

I got you beat. 82% of your posts are in Welcome to Shadows against my 90%.

Why is this thread making me weep?

It makes me smile. I'm more Geek than you!

I just figure it's all in fun.

Are you sure that '~J' isn't short for Judy?

Add his other nom-de-net (Grey) and then compare.

If we combined aliases, I'd have to commit suicide at the massive depression I would suffer as a result of the obviousness of my geekdom.

Well, that's true for most of us.

I'm here on my one-and-only name, but then again, I am one of the young'uns

'Sides, this name works better than Archer for this, and Shadownet seems too obvious.

~J

Never been other than Toturi. But that's other than L5R, then it would be too presumcious

Weird. Grim Redeemer got to post at least 848 times (that's all the Jive forum Search function could find). I remembered it being a lot less than that. Still, I'm not geekish, I'm just...

Okay, I'm geekish.

Glad I used search before I asked a question on this Heh 23 pages of posts from me and I'm still a moving target, hehe, course, when I do profile checks on some other people in the 'runner' group and see at least 90 pages, I have to take pause for a moment
