<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, I wanna know when I won't be a Sergeant no more. I've been stuck on this one forever.

Re: Rank
 

200 for sergeant. I know this doesn't help YOU, but the privates might like to know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Re: Rank
 

Me too! I lost Rank when they changed the board.

Re: Rank
 

Ok, another rank padding joke...

A bum walks into the park to take a nap and sees two people sitting on his favorite bench. So he sits down on the end of the bench. The stench from him is so bad that one by one the other two leave.

The morale of this story is:

RANK has it's privlages.

Re: Rank
 

Oh oh I wanna tell a joke...

A man walks into a bar.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks, that helps even more. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Rank
 

"Ratings matter"...

A know of a saying... It's not how many Posts you can post on a forum... It's about how good of ranking you can get.

Oh wait... or was it: It's the thought that counts.

It's one of those. I don't know which though.

Re: Rank
 

If I am right, this post should boost me to Corporal.

Re: Rank
 

Shoot, I thought I was having a good night. After all I got rated, can't I get promoted? What's it take on this forum? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif

Re: Rank
 

Hot dog! Now I AM a 5 star corporal! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Rank
 

Bloody somebody just rated me.
Now why would annyone do something like that?

Re: Rank
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL... I don't know why this thread is even around. We have the other thread to post non-informative stuff. Remember... *Gasp* THE LARCH!

EDIT: I forgot.. the subject changed. It's now the 42 thread.

Re: Rank
 

I'm a corporal.. Where is that on the scale? Or better yet, what is the order of ranks?

Re: Rank
 

Keep posting you'll make Sgt soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Rank
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Corporal is when you hit 50 Posts. You hit Sergeant at 200. That's all I know about the rankings though. Anything beyond that I have yet to find out.

Re: Rank

Re: Rank
 

Under the original ranking system, I was a "National Security Advisor" a few months ago.

Richard had to stretch out the ranking system, and that demoted everybody a rank or two, and took me down to a lowly General.

My current title "SpecOps" is based on Moderator status.

Re: Rank
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Geee Richard,you could have put them in order http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
BUT I see I still have some to go
Thanks for the Info . http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Rank
 

In order and with the psedo-odd junk removed:

0 = Private
51 = Corporal
200 = Sergeant
400 = Second Lieutenant
600 = First Lieutenant
800 = Captain
1000 = Major
1250 = Lieutenant Colonel
1500 = Colonel
1750 = Brigadier General
2000 = Major General
2500 = Lieutenant General

Re: Rank
 

LOL thanks, was just pullin' a chain http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Rank
 

I think there needs to be more ranks in between General and National Security Advisor.
I'm only 68 away from Ruler of the World as is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: Rank
 

In case your curious the odd junk is the actual code that is in the config file for UBB.

Re: Rank
 

Why is a Lieutenant lower than a Major but a Major General lower than a Lieutenant General?
Which Military designed these silly ranks?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

Re: Rank
 

They could be using the US Navy ranks.

Anyone want to be a Rear Admiral Lower Half?

Re: Rank
 

Just be glad we're using US ranks, Baron. How'd you like to be a Colonel-General or have a Field Marshall rank thrown in? Personally, I look forward to my upcoming Corporal-ness.

Re: Rank
 

what is the deal with the lower half thing and rear admiral, i've never heard of a upper half rear admiral or more importantly a forward admiral. Just wondering (and posting), I think God shoudl be set so that only one person can ever be god at one time, or create several different gods, like Ares, Mars, Athena, Buddha, throw in some Norse too!

Re: Rank
 

OMG!!!!! Only 11 more Posts till SJ is ruler of the world!!!

Re: Rank
 

How about we petition Richard to delete SJ's account, so that he has to start again as a lowly Private?
We will ALL out-rank him then. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
