Several of you mentioned that you were not particularly keen on the Castlevania-themed poster catagories (proto-slime, etc). When we were moving everything around, we completely forgot about those- we're so used to seeing them.
I added a few DMFA-centric ones to the list already (pygmy shrew, undead, and being) but I wasn't sure what all to add, and how "cool" any given thing is (so catagorizing it on the list was difficult)
Please make any suggestions of catagories to add, and how many posts you think it should take to get to them.
I always liked the forums where you could kindly inquire of the mods to hand out 'special' categories if you were an established member or whatnot. Then again, that's because I'm a strange strange fuzzy. ^^
I think mow horde should be in there. Wouldn't know where though! :D
Hmmm....
If we're going for DMFA...I suppose you could go with some creature races and job titles.
Adventurer (Or sword for hire)
Cubi Fledgling/Student/Master
Demonic Rampager
Fuzzy Fluffball
Drake
Mow-Swarm
'I got tentacles!"
Deathbringer! :D
To be honest I'm not sure what to do. Odds are mixing the two categories will cause a clash (one post your a fuzzy fluffball, the next a hunchback. X3) I doubt you want to start from scratch.
Eh. I'll think on stoofs.
Maybe we could find a way to combine both- ie. Hunchback Fluffball
*giggles*
shouldnt that be mow-horde ?
mmmmm tentacles.... errrrr :blink
Why do we need posting categories based on postcount? :blink
Can't we have custom titles instead?
You have both, actually.
Ah, I see now. Well, I don't particularly enjoy being called a proto-slime, so I guess I'll post at the postcount claim thread and see what I get.
I'm an ebil Skull Knight! Fear me! :D

Together they make funny combinations, All Purpose Vixen Cyclops. (http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h18/ItosAtio/Smilies/tongue.gif)
I'm an all purpose fox cyclops...
Anyways, my first idea for post count goes something like this
Mow
And that is it. We are all mows. Except for members of the AP team, which are AP Mows.
No.
As long as the final one isn't anything cubi-based, I'm good. >_> I'd rather that not be the final one I'd be stuck with. :T
Hmm... Mythos, Mow, Fae, Dagron, Creature Councilman, etc, etc. Yeah, I suck at this kinda stuff. : 3
There are those that are opposed to being cubi or "I have tenticles" because lets face it. Its annoying when EVERYONE is a freaking tentical beast.
My issue with the categories is, of course, that some people would perfer to be, say, an undead instead of a swordsman-for-hire. Not that I'm naming any names, of course.
Could it maybe be made so that after you go through all of the preset ranks you get to choose your rank?
Well, if they want to stay undead, then they'll just have to not post ;)
And honestly, I think the penultimate title is appropriate for whomever reaches it. I'm not going to tell you what it is, or how long it will take you to get there, though ;)
Let us just say that no one currently is ANYWHERE near it.
Oh, Christ. Now you've given people reason to redouble their postwhoring efforts.
You say that like it is a bad thing.
Redpuble? At the rate you're going at, you wouldn't reach it for years even if you reTREBLED it.

And that is scary...
:mwaha
This sounds entertaining.... maybe a topic listing titles as they are discovered? Also, throw in when each level is achieved?
I don't really mind the titles that are there. :)
I guess I don't know much about what the clockwork mansion is based on (Castlevania) so I guess I don't know what to suggest to change things too so that you can appease both groups.
Hmm... different post titles for different members? Any way to separate DMFAers from Castlevaniaers? And give them different post count titles? It's just a random thought.
^^
Can't. Sorry.
The Clockwork Mansion is a level from the games. It's not important, but it sounds groovy. Other levels include most all the section titles you see here (Grand Hallway, et all), the Floating Gardens, and the Cursed Prison. Nifty, eh?
Ah that's ok Darkmoon. :)
Ok. Good to know. It is a groovy name though.
Maybe you can mix up the names as posted above as RJ mentioned. Liiikeee ... Axecubi. Skeleton Mow. Cyclops Dan. Sub-Boss Fluffy. Bat-Drake. Deathbringer! (which I just think is COOL lol)
Yeah. :)
Oo oo! And there IS a thread like that on the Catharsis forums, Lurking Dragon. Seriously. They post when each new 'level' of title is acheieved, keeping a running tab. I find it entertaining. :D
We need Deathbringer XD
:zombiekun
I want to be a Red Mage.
MAKE IT SO! :spidey

I started one of those here http://clockworkmansion.com/forum/index.php?topic=500.0
I put it in the General Discussion section because its not specifically DMFA related and should be open to all the forum posters.

I would, but I don't know what's in it for me.
I think the first catagory should be Mow.
but Mows are so much nicer than slimes and proto-slimes. If you don't like your catagory, you're more likely to post to get rid of it. ;)
Hey... an 'Amazon' rank would be cool. For a medium-high number of post counts (*is unsure what that would be*).
Done.
Heh. Check out beneath your name, Darkmoon.

Yepper. The irony.
Hehe-- thanks much. ^^

Wow, I'd expect someone to burst into flame with that combination...
I note you've shuffled all the higher ranks that we've reached - Azlan has dropped one rank to Skull Knight, instead of being a Cyclops as he was...
That makes it much harder to figure out what the current settings are, tho :-)
We only do it to make your lives interesting ;)
Isn't having three titles by your name WAY too much?
One is custom, one is postcount, and the final is the moderation designation.
And no, no it's not ;)
Only 4 or five people have 3 titles. Most only have two. I could change the color of the post count categories if you want...
Finding a color to coordinate with all the skins is... impossible.
In which case you look for one that makes it impossible to read?
Or settle for bold red, bold cyan, yellow, green, etc?
The problem really is that it needs to be light enough to read on the dark colors, but dark enough to read on the light colors.
And not look like ick.

Never mind, I'm already a Red Wizard no thanks to you.
::uses fire spells and sword skills on everything that moves::
I can take that away you realize... >)
As for the colors, we could make them all #aaaaaa, a medium light grey.
*Charles oozes all over people, leaving a disgusting trail of goo behind* Wheee! Being slime is fun! I get to spread disease! :mowhappy
Are you the kind that splits into 2 slimes when attacked with fire?
"Fuzzy Fluffball" ? Someone is going to -pay-....
*giggle*
That would be Amber ;)
I'm going to leave this open through Monday (7/17), so think hard and make any suggestions before than, and then we'll settle down with the categories we have.
Remember Wildy's thread in the General Discussion if you want to track the different poster levels that have been discovered.
Random title ideas:
Gilgamesh
Metriod
Dwarf
EdgeMaster
Wizard
Chimera
Manticore
Black Dragon
King of Iron Fist
Pilot
Giant Robot/Prime
Mechanic
Fish
Shark
Sheep
Judge
Pikmin
...I'm sure most of that is useless.
Ha! I love sheep. If we do that one, it will either go in early, or go in late to be ironic. :)
:sheep
well, look at it this way: a sheep can be one who's easily swayed/led, so one could assume having an absurdly high postcount (let's say, something nobody here could reach without a couple very busy years) means you're.. lacking a better word.. a "slave" to the forum, stuck by it at all times, and thus a sheep... Not sure though, I put 5 seconds of thought into that. *gives out grains of salt to take his words with*

How about Mow Food or Mow Bait?
Post or be swarmed! :mowmeep
i think something involving Über should be a title for really high posters. Or One-Winged Angel.
Regina?
