Arnelos · March 27, 2004, 19:16

There are an awful lot of emperors for that...

DrSpike · March 27, 2004, 19:59

Yeah only deities deserve a mention.

alva · March 27, 2004, 20:52

You're writng yours already Doc?

DrSpike · March 27, 2004, 20:59

Not at all........there are just too many emperors for it to be a good idea.

I'm more of the patron saint of Spanish Forum trolls. And rather than worship JayBee, I'd say "sucks up to"

But only dieties should make these lists.

Unspeakable Horror · March 27, 2004, 22:20

You are not too far from Deity anyway

And everyone can get to Emperor soon enough. Deity is something special though.

Indeed. Takes many years of, ehm, spam.

Not sure I followed it, but it did make me smile.

Or months, if you are Jam.

Actually, I remember back in the day being amazed that Trip had his ppd at a "massive" 14 or so. How times have changed.

Snowflake · March 28, 2004, 00:51

I know I'm out of touch lately. But can somebody explain briefly the tales of the Fallen Deity to me please?

You need to compress your code to use here.

click 'reply with quote' on my post containing your table to see what I mean.

thanks for your tips, didnt realsie that it would do that sort of thing ...

Rasputin · March 28, 2004, 02:12

thers nothing special about any of the levels , evryone can attain them, jsut takes some longer than others. the really itneresting thing is, it seams that a lot of people once they reach deity level slow down their posting, takwe AH for example, he seems to have returned to the OT again now that he has been made a deity. his post count in on topic is about the lowest it has ever been.

only ming still pwoering on and tha tis due to his modding so many forums, not his spamming.

will be interested to see what happesn with jamskis ppd once he hits deity next month ....

Skanky Burns · March 28, 2004, 04:21

AH has received many PCRs since he became a deity, so that doesn't really count. He still posts in Civ2 forums afaik.

Regarding Provost Harrison - the Fallen Deity: He became a deity. He insulted Fez. He received a huge PCR, leaving him well below deity level.

Snowflake · March 28, 2004, 04:44

Wow. That is something. How huge is it? I mean can it be like 50%?

Skanky Burns · March 28, 2004, 04:53

I think 30%, but that is more than likely wrong.

DrSpike · March 28, 2004, 08:27

IIRC from PH's former posts it was 30%, which was over 3000 posts.

Paddy · March 28, 2004, 10:06

ouch, that is a bloody big fine

I don't expect it will happen untill May or June. I have a lot of guests coming and going in April, Easter holidays, etc etc... Hell, I may even get a job sometime, and then my ppd will sink a lot.

DrSpike · March 28, 2004, 10:37

Hehe you'll find ways to post like most of us with jobs do. If anything I post more in the week - after all, playing computer games at work would be wrong.

Paddy · March 28, 2004, 11:06

yes work can be a great time to catch up on the threads...

Dr. Nick · March 28, 2004, 18:51

30% for insulting Fez?!

Skanky Burns · March 28, 2004, 19:27

His remark was really inappropriate. Even though it was to Fez.

The Slayer · March 28, 2004, 19:31

If he insulted fez he deserved a boost...

In that case, I might have to revise it then

Actually, you know, doing this short list is really just training for the 'real' list- the Apolyton 100, I'm frankly seeing what new information about posters that I can get them to leak out about themselves

so that I don't have to go searching for it

Ptwh. It took me at least/about 2 years to get to emperor and there were only 46 or so at that time. Emperor is a high status symbol. Heck, until 2001 OT posts counted and we still didn't have an over-population of emperors. It has only recently become massively devalued with spam.

Paddy · March 28, 2004, 20:30

Interesting how 160 emperors is considered massive, out of the 50000 members

or are there thousands of Emperors?

I would argue the opposite. "Pulling a Mao" is still a phase heard today, long after OT posts stopped counting and well after the poster himself pretty much stopped posting here.

Almost all the newer emperors you see though are part of the democracy games, contributing to this gaming site by actually taking part in the games Poly covers. Sure, all the posts aren't high-quality analysis of the games internal mechanics, but for the most part they would not be classified as spam.
