All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

Ok, people. Here's your chance to log in some Posts to get a nice promotion for Christmas.

The only rule that I will insist on is that nobody be alowed to make double or triple Posts.

So, let's see how many people we can help get promoted.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

P.S. expect to see a few Posts by me, I have a bit of a ways to go for my next promotion. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I didn't even realize how the promotion system worked until I went over 400 and got to be a 2nd Lt. Now, how much to I have to post to be a 1st lt?

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

Speaking of promotions, do any of you know the actual post-count/rank system used here?

I had it marked down way back when I made the rank insignias, but have since lost them. I think my next promotion is at 1800, but It might be 2000 in which case there is very little chance that I'll be promoted before xmas, unless I get an honorary 'Spec-Ops' position. (nudge-nudge wink, wink know what I mean?) LOL

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

I wonder how many Posts I have? It's a been a while...

Ah, now I see.

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

Actually Fyron I believe the FAQ has been written by Richard or someone else who is an Admin here so that's how the rank at 10,000 is known. We will see if the FAQ is right about this particular rank in a few days/weeks. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

I think I still have a ways to go... but, my average post/day ratio is a bit low. Maybe because I tend to drop off the face of the earth for a few weeks at a time every once in a while.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">hmmmm, I think I'll keep a parachute handy just in case. I wouldn't want to break 'Every' bone in my body.

And the term is "Fall-off" not just fall. It implies that you are 'on something' prior to the fall. That's where the left/right thing comes in.

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

I admit I probably do a lot of lurking compared to what I post. When it comes to technical questions about the game, I leave that to the experts. And some Posts are so whimsical, I just don't know how to respond. So I put in my two cents in whenever I feel it's appropriate.

no chance to get a promotion until Christmas, but still a good way to wish you all:

Merry Christmas!

I just got a promotion.

Early Christmas.

I don't think I can be promoted, but I can drop a line here and fish for sympathy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Hey, boss, can I just get a raise and you keep the promotion? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

And I gotta put in this post just stay ahead of Grazic's count. He's the only one I seem to be able to stay ahead of! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

See, DavidG, that's how you do it. Three wildly different Posts with absolutely nothing in common except they are uncommonly useless. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

edit:

cool number of Posts, eh? I think I'll stick with it for a while and just edit this post endlessly. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hi! Couldn't resist posting in here... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I just recently had a promotion, so I already got my Christmas present... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

does that mean i can have the one you'd get for christmass? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

Well, I don't think there's any way that I could possibly get another promotion for Christmas. I'm not advancing to the next level until I collect 1500 experience points - uh, I mean Posts - and I'm not getting there anytime soon, with my slow rate of about 3 Posts per day on average.

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

3 Posts per day? Wow, I dream of that.

Thanks Narf.

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

Thanks for this topic David, perhaps I didn't get my promotion, but I padded myself up to port 500, with this post.

Well my Xmas duties are done, with the Trampoline all setup. Oops gotta go to bed now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

The simple rule I tried to make was no double or tripple Posts,..

Re: All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..
 

Well, the correct way to bypass this rule is to go with a quadruple post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
