how do you get rated "king" and "settler"

MegloManiac · March 19, 2003, 22:49

i mean i see some people rated emporer others king some prince and me settler! how do you get these rating and how do you increase them

Verto · March 19, 2003, 22:53

It is based on how many posts you have. The exact number it takes to progress from one to another can be found in the FAQ.

Wittlich · March 19, 2003, 22:55

Your title is your post count. So the more posts you make in the forums, your count goes up and eventually you will go from settler, to chieftain, to warlord, to prince, to king, to emperor, and finally to diety.

But be aware: "Spam" posts - or posts just posted with no relevance to the subject at hand but only to increase your post count is not tolerated my the Moderators.

I hope this answers your question Meglo.

Wittlich · March 19, 2003, 22:57

Ah, Meglo - Glad to see that you've gotten your name changed!

I haven't taken the time to read the various faqs but I am *assuming* that the various rankings is based on messages postings. Post more and you get ranked higher?

MegloManiac · March 19, 2003, 22:59

thanks for the info

MegloManiac · March 19, 2003, 23:03

o and one more thing this

Wittlich · March 19, 2003, 23:07

I don't think you finished your thought Mego...

Boris Godunov · March 19, 2003, 23:12

Methinks he doesn't know about the antispam rule that prevents him from doing such things to up his postcount...

Wittlich · March 19, 2003, 23:21

Actually, I was thinking that he possibly lost his internet connection....

On a side note -
Well, Boris! Fancy meeting you here!

TheStinger · March 20, 2003, 04:41

Getting to warlord is fairly straightforward, it can take a while to get to prince. I can only really post at work so it might take me soem time

badams52 · March 20, 2003, 11:18

Of course you could be like MasterZen and post on average 18 times a day to get to king within 3 months.

TheStinger · March 20, 2003, 11:40

Of course there are exceptions.

Now if posting OT counted I'd be a King by now.

ONTH there would be countless emporers aswell

Aramis · March 20, 2003, 15:26

The whole post count/title biz seems a bit silly. I'd prefer "Dissident" after my name. But this leads to a question: what is the significance of the numbers next to ADM/HP in a profile? (i know what they mean in the game)

And man, HOW does he do that? Not even Press News have so much subjects to talk about!

I think I post now a average of 2-3 posts per day (my first 2 months on Poly were improductive), and mainly on Civ3 General Forum. MasterZen seems to omnipresent: every forum there is, there is he. Perhaps some day I will have more to talk about also.

Or I just keep myself in my corner.

I'm at 18 now??? Geez...

Oh, and I made it in 2 months and 10 days...

It actually depends on how many threads you are involved in. Answering posts on 9 active threads twice a day means 18 posts a day and doesn't take too much time.

Try our resident minister of war, Trip, he's got like 13 per day since last april. Now that's a sustained post count!

ISDG has lately taken a lot of my time (and posts)

I'm usually most active in the Spanish forum, the ISDG (private) forum, the Strategy forum and the General forums although I've taken a lesser interest in the latter the last couple of days...

Boris Godunov · March 20, 2003, 17:36

Ok, let's not have another discussion on Trip's posting habits...

Go to the community-forum and do browse some topics. You'll find the question asked before.

...getting +1's by posting 3 things into 3 different posts in 3 minutes, that is...

Everytime I look, your post per day keeps getting higher and higher.

I'm happy with my 1 a day average, though I probably post much more than that on average at this time. There were the early months where I didn't post at all.

Oh and did we mention the easiest way to increase post counts? Join a PBEM game and watch your post count soar.

tomcat ha · March 21, 2003, 16:33

i`m here ocer a year and i don`t have much between 200 and 300
So post count ain`t important

I didn't really post much during my first weeks, about 5 a day, but now that I'm involved in so much stuff...

Another easy way (though I don't do it) is to participate in those Neverending Stories and Roleplay things. And PBEMing does increase it a lot too.

NES is a sure bet.
