How Many more Emperors Will We Have?

DarkCloud · November 28, 2000, 22:34

How Many more Emperors Will We Have in just a few months?

There are already at least 6, with a possibility of more (I only checked abour 50-100 profiles) people within 500 of Emperor level in post count. To keep Emperor rare, we should implement a new (civ-like) rank such as (Subemperor or Coadjugator)?

There should be no more than 50 people over Emperor.
Currently there are 36. But about 15 people are on pace to reach Emperor by June of next year.

But that's what 'Deity' is for, right?

Empress · November 28, 2000, 22:51

I'm about 400 short of becoming an Apolyton Empress!!

YEP!

And Empress, remember to ICQ me when you go over so I can change your title... I have to do it manually

November 29, 2000, 06:49

So you'll be Empress, Empress, Empress.

So you think that will impress us?

We have approximately 34 emperors and 2 deities, with more on the way I am sure. Emperors are indeed becoming more common, but we still have that holy grail of post counts, deity

. What kind of degernerate philosophy or get a life personality would assign significant value to post count (defective lovers of post count resond below).

Don't you mean "that holy grail of spam"?

Christantine The Great · November 29, 2000, 19:24

I'm suprised that this hasn't been blasted into HTML dust by now. Do we really need to know who is going to be an Emperor?

How about the rank of "Council"? A bit better than "subemperor". (On one condition. I am made the "Eternal Council"

)

November 29, 2000, 19:36

I like it the way it is.

I like the thought! For some reason or other, I have a special affinity for the title "Emperor"...

Perhaps we should put a Demigod between Emperor and Deity, for the Deity requirement is fairly high.

Demigond- 5000 posts.

Urban Ranger · November 30, 2000, 02:04

Ah, who cares? I rather have a personalised title, but definitely not Apolyton Troll

November 30, 2000, 02:11

Nah....there's a sense of accomplishment when you reach the next level.

DC, I think having a bigger space between Emperor and Deity is a good thing. Then it limits those that are post-emperor. Many would give up trying to spam all the way to Deity, since it's such a long way off.

Hasn't Mao - and others - disproved that theory? More than once?

I said 'many' not 'all'. This would be a kind of weeding-out process, where only the most persistent posters finally get to Deity.

Provost Harrison · November 30, 2000, 05:59

Well since Warning's post count was brutally chopped in half (

) he seems to have given up on trying to reach 'the holy grail of spam' (

) and we don't see much of him here any more (

I dont give a **** on post counts...

That was another post in my long journey to EMPEROR.

I gotta get to deity fast...

*realizes how many post count reductions hes gotten*

doh!

December 1, 2000, 03:13

well I would say I'm well on my way to getting to Emporer. Mark me down for 3 to 4 months. I got proably over 200 posts on election night alone! I was busy that night. And most of them were legit posts. I claim 99% of my posts are not spam. And I stick by that.

BTW I have many posts that I intended to make but was unable to because of my inablility to correctly see and punch the submit button. May I please have 1200 added to my post count please oh ming sah.

I hope you understood it was a JOKE!

ok it may take more than a few months now. there just aren't enough good threads to post in. But I still think my post count should be higher. I intended to post alot more than I have.

Sounds like a good idea. Of course, I am but a mere warlord

Provost Harrison · December 6, 2000, 09:05

Well I have been delayed by 2880 posts

Well the more the merrier, it will simply mean that over time, emperors will be like what kings were 6 months ago. Deity will be the role to have. Although it may be an idea for the future to allow another level at 30000+ when people start getting high enough!

Lefty Scaevola · December 6, 2000, 11:24

. How serious, really, are you all about this post count status??. What percentage of your self image ego is generated by it??. To me its les important to geeting a one freindly purr from my daughter's cat.

Lefty, post count is fun... and it shows how active you have been on these boards.

December 6, 2000, 21:31

its just a measure of how long you have been here. It is meaningless, but many fun things are meaningless (like civ2

). Granted it is more an indication of how much spam you can get away with. I try to post relevant things related to the topic (well some of my too subtle humour might be considered spam). Thus I'm expecting about 6 months now. I usually don't even bother checking. I had hit King and didn't even know it for a while.
