New 'user post ranks' for new AllRPG?

[Raidou]

I also need to do ALL of the user ranks again....that will take a while.

What do you folks think of the idea of changing into a new user post ranks for new AllRPG? Your suggestions/ opinions/ comments on this matter goes here in this thread.

Following the current user post ranks of AllRPG that I obtained from the archive:-

I think the userrankings are pretty cool the way they are. King Zeal created those, if I remember correctly, but if somebody wants to try and come up with some better ones, be my guest.

I'm sure the Admins wouldn't mind.

[Devil King]

I like them.

I may come up with more when I have spare time, though.

[Phakiel]

I always had a thing for them, lets keep them.

[Atlas]

I always had a thing for them, lets keep them.

Agreed.

I'll get back to ya about any ideas for new ones, Biggy.

[Raidou]

Probably it need to be updated with characters from newer RPG titles. Any suggestions for which to be removed (not so relevant anymore) and which one to be introduced?

[Matron]

I've always liked that we have our own unique user titles here. I wouldn't mind some new ones, as long as they stayed RPG and game related.

I also think it might be kind of fun if we did a vote for user title month once in a while, kind of like we do with avatars. Or let the mods choose titles for users, then we'd all be unique, and different. Obviously, they couldn't set different titles for everyone, but not everyone would want to participate, and there would be no reason to set titles for people who never post. Of course, with the new forums, there are a lot fewer non-posters right now. :)

[Void]

They are cool, but it would be cooler if it were more up to date with what's out on the market right now. As opposed to what was relevent when PS2 was just breaking out.

EDIT:

But we should totally keep anything related to the Chrono Series.

[Phakiel]

I am pretty sure I was a SeeD like two years ago.

[Devil King]

And I was an Unsent a couple of weeks ago.

[Phakiel]

Shouldnt we older members get a choice of title? I want Xenogear.

[Atlas]

But we should totally keep anything related to the Chrono Series.

Pretty much. I'm actually down just to revolve the entire site around a Chrono theme. :D You and me, Void, 'till the end! WE WILL FIND TEH CHRONO TRIGGER!!11

[Matron]

Well, at least I'm not a SeeD anymore. I like Blue Rogue much better. Wasn't looking forward to Geohound, so thanks for mixing up the order! :D

[Phakiel]

Wasnt I higher than Fayth? Or are they new ones so it evens out?

[Raidou]

Shouldnt we older members get a choice of title? I want Xenogear.

Totally agree. In fact we could had easily nailed the top 3 spots of the AllRPG Fantasy league to be entitled for the customized titlename. BUT. It was prematurely discontinued. Damnit! You can keep the the mis-spelled Xenogear if you want, is Xenogears dude. I want Shin Megami Tensei.

It's because I am not done with them yet. Also, thank so much, Raido, for pasting these because now that the old forums are gone, I would have not been able to remember all of these. Ok, they're all done.

You're welcome. The previous titlebar is AllRPG historical relic yaa. Hey, why the arrangement of the titles seems different now. New title

Pretty much. I'm actually down just to revolve the entire site around a Chrono theme. :D You and me, Void, 'till the end! WE WILL FIND TEH CHRONO TRIGGER!!11

How about NO!?

Wasnt I higher than Fayth? Or are they new ones so it evens out?

I remember you were Eidolan, and I was Anti-Type. Starman DX!? What's that?

[Phakiel]

Yeah, it doesnt quite makes sense to apply a plural name to an individual now does it?

Then again I am arguing against somebody who wants "True Goddess of Rebirth" as his title.

And before you start wondering, thats what Shin Megami Tensei means.

[Nickoten]

It's the other way around. True Reincarnation/Cycle of Life and Death of the Goddess.

And I sure wish mine could be Yojimbo, for obvious reasons. We could all pretend it's Final Fantasy X-related!

[Mark]

I dunno I kinda Liked Senior Member.

EDIT:

But I like Guardian too. :p

What does a title tells you? It doesnt necessary mean a position. I just want SMT because is my favourite RPG series, that's all.

lol at Phakiel!

Not completely, it depends on the translation.

[Nickoten]

The one I posted is pretty widely accepted as the translation.

Shin Megami Tensei (pronounced "shin MEH-gah-mee TEN-say") is a Japanese phrase that translates as "True Goddess Metempsychosis." An unusual piece of philosophical jargon, "metempsychosis" refers specifically to the unending process of birth, death, and rebirth that is of central importance to the Buddhist religious tradition. Even deities are slaves to the cycle of metempsychosis in Buddhist thought, and this belief features prominently in the plotlines of the various Shin Megami Tensei games. Who exactly the titular "goddess" is supposed to be is usually left up to the player. Each SMT game features a female character that the title could be referring to, or it could be taken as a reference to radical transformations that Japan itself experiences during the course of a game.

They're clearly talking about the cycle of rebirth of a goddess, not a goddess who has been designated as the Goddess of Metempsychosis.

[Phakiel]

Go to hell Nickoten.

[Raidou]

Just admit it, you failed.

[Phakiel]

I hate you Raidou.

[Nickoten]

Go to hell Nickoten.

It's okay, I saw (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_Megami_Tensei) where you went wrong. Misinformation happens, especially on Wikipedia. That said, I couldn't resist after reading the motivational poster thread:

Edit: I changed the wiki page, so for anyone reading this after the fact, it originally listed what Phakiel thought was the translation.

[Raidou]

I hate you Raidou.

I love you. You hate me. We are happy AllRPG. And a great big hug. And a kiss from me to you. Won't you say you love, me, too?

I thought I read it on Hardcore Gaming 101's article on SMT. I'll check.

[King Zeal]

As the person who created these rankings originally, I just want to say thanks to everyone who likes them.

Also, if we ever do make new ones, I wanna be a part of that. It was really fun coming up with these, and while change is inevitable, I'd like to have some hand in it.

[LagDragon]

Everything's falling into place. ;)

[Raidou]

I'm lovin my current user post rank - Summoner. It would have been more fitting to my username if it is Devil Summoner.
