New Post Count Levels
...With the incoming release of Civilization: Conquests add-on, there will be two new levels- Demigod and Sid... just wondering, will Apolyton add these levels 
I doubt that dan/mark will expend the time- but it is worth wondering... strange that Sid has achieved super-deity status in his games

Interesting idea, we are starting to become a polytheistic society with all the dieties running around.
Would you be suggesting Demigod take Diety's place and adding Diety and Sid as higher levels?

Out of 40,000 plus members, only 7 people are at Deity level, with only 3 other members close with post counts in the 8 thousands... Doesn't seem like a lot of Deities running around to me

Yep, it still seems like a pretty elite group.

When I see a deity running around, I can only imagine how much time they must have spent posting to reach that level. Heh. I love Civ as much as anyone else ... but to post enough to reach deity in anything less than five years? Ha! Not likely. Well, unless I become unemployed or something.

Who needs to be unemployed when you can post from work.
But Yes I agree. At least my 8000 or so posts are stretched out over a long time. When I see someone with 6000-7000 posts and they've only been active for a year, I get worried.

More levels would be good, but I don't think Mark agrees.

What's the point in adding new levels? with only 7 people with deity status there's no point in wasting Dan's time.
Of course, MarkG could add the new levels while using his cell phone...

Wasn't this topic discussed a while back anyway?  I think it was in the civ3 general forum actually.
I thought that the Civ2 poster levels were being kept since Apolyton covers several different games, not just Civ3.

Apolyton is slowly evolving from a Civ site to a strategy gaming site.
Thus I think it would be a bad idea to keep everything (incl. poster levels) focused only on Civ.

That depends on whether the levels advocated come after Deity, or another one slips in at 6K say.

I think most everyone is used to the poster levels as they are right now anyway. I wouldn't mind seeing them changed to civ3 levels, but it's not really a big deal to me.

Oh yes, I forgot, the Apolyton/Community is a civ 2 forum in disguise.

Not really...........players of all civ games post here. However, amongst some of the more experienced civvers there may be some anti-civ3 vibes.

I know. But the majority of posters in this forum are Civ2 junkies. There are only a few of us Civ3ers to stand up for ourselves.

If they didn't change Prince/King to Regent/Monarch when Civ3 first came out, they're not going to add more post coutn levels now.

I played civIII and played PTW. (paid for both)
So I'm entitled to my opinion. At least it's based on experience.
And it in no way reflects the opinions of management.

It would give the spammers a new goal to shot for.

Ah, yes, what you really mean is the more experienced players at Apolyton who didn't accept Civ III as the next instalment of the greatest turn based strategy game ever created.
I started with Civ (which I should make me one of the more experienced Civ players) as did many Apolytoner's, but am among the minority at Apolyton who found enjoyment when playing Civ III.

Well you are "just" 10000 posts away from what could be demigod. Markos probably should add this level now

Which is just one reason why I think post count is a joke. Get rid of it.

Yes, well my post count is completely meaningless compared to how many posts I have actually made...I've had PCRs and then the OT posts not counting. I would hate to think what my real post count is, but probably above anyone else's

Indeed. Once you reach Emperor, there is no major goal to shoot for. You need to more than triple your post count just to get to the next rank.

I'd easily be an Emperor if not for that hefty PCR and the fact that 90% of my posting is done in the OT.
