I wouldn't be a Deity, but surely I'd be more than just this crappy Chieftain!

There would be lots but I've stopped caring. I mean what good is a rank on an internet gaming forum really?

So? Many people have posted hundreds (and thousands) of substantive posts in the OT since post counts were banned.
If OT posts counted, I'd say around 15 Deities. I'd have closer to 20,000 as well, I'm sure.

No, probably not. After all, it took a few years to get the first deity... except for a mod, of course.

We can try and count.
*I* would probably be a Deity. it's even more clear in the case of OT emperors.

I'd be there for sure.
In the first 3 months I was here I made over 2000 posts, only 1000 of which were on topic.
And I haven't really posted much more on topic since then.

Azazel: Try searching for your OTF/Archive posts, add them to your postcount and see
Most of my posts are on-topic, so I'm pretty sure I'd still be an Emperor. Probably have over 5k posts, but doubt it would be near 10k.

Ahhh, that explains my search only yielding 3652 results then, when my on-topic postcount is higher than that

A true measure of worthiness should be the quality of your posts, not the quantity.

I would definitely be Deity if they did count. Anyways, I heard that a few of the deities are only deities because OT posts DID used to count towards post count.

Man, tonight is one of the few times I get into the posting spirit...and naturally it has to be in the OT and not one of the on-topic forums... *sigh*
I had a friend that believed in something called circular math. The theory went that if you went to a high enough number, you'd eventually reach 0, hence reaching infinity. 
By that "logic," if one had enough PCRs, they would eventually reach a postcount even higher than that of the other dieties...

Look right above you... Sava for one has probably had thousands of posts. You don't need to be a super spammer. Think about this. 100 posts a week for 2 years (52 weeks each) would result in diety status. Hell, I end up posting like 20 posts a day (probably more), which is ~7,280 posts a year.

I never have. But like I said, I post very frequently and easily been close to the 20,000 mark.

Hmmm... perhaps I now know why OT post counts weren't added .

i think i'd have closer to three thousand, instead of one and a half... but that's just guessing. i might have made it to five thousand if i didn't have that lag time summer 2001- autumn 2002

Just had a thought. How many people would be at Deity level if OT posts never counted?
I'd be willing to guess almost zero. Seeing that this is a Civilization site that is the way it should have been all along. I realize the higher your OT count the more you may disagree with this but credit should be given to those who contribute to the site's focus. We could save scarce memory and CPU time by moving the OT stuff to a newsgroup.
I would definitely have a great deal of respect for someone who reached king/emperor/deity entirely on topic!
Merry X-mas.

But what counts as "contribution?"
Something like "Good idea! " will get you a +1 on any of the on topic forums, and that's not contribution at all.
