ForbiddenCove Rankings

[Aharown]

This is a question for one of the Administrators.

Over at Classic-Castle we have different rankings, such as Gong-Farmer & Man-at-Arms, depending on how many posts one has made. In a effort to head off the inevitable "Why are we all plankton?" and "What ranks are there?" postings from new members (especially those not familiar with C-C), I was wondering if one of the Admins had a (at least partial) list that they could put up, just like over at C-C.

Thanks!

EDIT: We may very well be finding out the rankings as we go along, unless an Admin says otherwise, so I'll start my own list as we go along.

EDIT AGAIN: Bruce seems to be making a list too - I'll let him do it.

Hmm, I've got no inside track on this, but my hunch is that the answer is "you'll find out as we go along." So let's start categorizing these. I'm making an assumption that the rank changes will happen at the same numbers of posts as on CC, but have not followed closely enough to know for sure. For instance, there is a member who I saw at 46 posts was "Jetsam" and now at 52 is "Ballast." Since CC makes the switch between 49 and 50 I'll assume that FC is doing the same. The list, which I'll fill in as we go:

0-9: Plankton
10-24: Flotsam
25-49: Jetsam
50-74: Ballast
75-99: Stowaway
100-149: Cabin Boy
150-199:
200-249:
250-299:
300-349:
350-399:
400-449:
450-499:

Special rankings:

Its kind of fun not knowing. That way we get a little surprise.

At the moment, I have this burning desire to steal the secret formula for a certain burger...

[Aharown]

That seems reasonable. I like a surprise myself, and nearly everyone here is previously from C-C, so surprise rankings is fine by me. I just thought that if we had a bunch of newbies it would quickly get tiresome hearing people ask about the rankings, that's all.

BTW, I seem to be the first person to reach 10 posts - Flotsam! I think I'll edit my original post and make a list as we go along.

[Athos]

Well, as I have ten posts now, I think we can conclude that the corresponding rank must be "Flea infested bilge rat."

Steve

[plums_deify]

No, Steve.

You're a "Flea infested bilge rat."

[Dunechaser]

Somehow I suspect I won't be making it to over a 1,000 posts on this forum. I just hope I make it past "Flea-infested bilge rat!"

[Starwars4J]

Flea-infested bilge-rat? I'm totally in. I'll get more fleas than all of you put together.

The Cove Admins are sworn to secrecy on the forum ranks, so you'll just have to wait and see what they'll be.

We do encourage intelligent conversation here though, so no posting for the sake of getting your post count (and rank) higher. Be warned!

Blimey! This is not a chat room ?
Seriously, I love those elements of surprise, its always fun to discover new things around.
