Names for post count based groups
« on: March 05, 2007, 06:44:34 PM »

Presently we have the following user groups based on the number of posts.

Newbie (<50 posts)
Jr. Member (50+ posts)
Full Member (100+ posts)
Sr. Member (250+ posts)
Hero Member (500+ posts)

I think we can use a new set of naming convention, something to identify with otakuness 8)

What you our members think?

Otaku - A term used to refer to people with obsessive hobbies, most commonly manga or anime.

So, I was thinking like the various levels of Otaku and hence Otakuness  8)

My suggestion......staying a bit more general.......Choose either the Japanese or English version.......

There might be a better term for peasant.........but this is the one I remember.......

1. Vagabond : Rurou (<50)
2. Peasant : Honbyakusho (50+)
3. Masterless Warrior OR Warrior In Training : Ronin (100+)
4. Full Warrior OR just Warrior : Samurai (250+)
5. Lord : Shogun (500+)

I agree with Kyo. This needs to be generic and should not be focussed on a particular series.

Plus, we can't afford to have too many Inuyasha's and Sesshamaru's in one forum ;)

Perhaps we could squeeze out the Peasant category and put in a rank between Shoghun and Samurai for Feudal Lord ie Daimyoo

as follows

1. Vagabond : Rurou (<50)

2. Masterless Warrior OR Warrior In Training : Ronin (50+)

3. Full Warrior OR just Warrior : Samurai (100+)

4. Feudal Lord : Daimyoo (250+)

5. Lord : Shogun (500+)

I think that looks better............esp the Japanese Version.........What say you?

I like the idea. And the ranking style makes sense :)

We will go with this system, unless someone can come up with a better one.

Rurouni is not an actual word. It was created by Watsuki-san for the Rurouini Kenshin Manga.........It is not something which can be incorporated into a ranking system so easily......A Ronin and a Rurouni (As defined by Watsuki) are the same thing, except that a Rurouni wanders........and that a Ronin may also refer to someone trying to get into college who has failed his/her 1st attempt........

True... Indians are a little uncomfortable with foreign languages like japanese. Though I think Kyo's terminology was good... the one under current use. Before I could give mine it was already there so I thought let it be... I didn't mind... :)

I had this in mind...

<100 ::> Lieutenant.
100-250 ::> Captain
250-500 ::> Major
500-1000 ::> Brigadier
1000-5000 ::> Colonel
>5000 ::> General

Notice my post count range is a little larger... I also had this one in mind, but it's all science...

<100 ::> School
100-250 ::> High School
250-500 ::> Intermediate
500-1000 ::> Graduate
1000-5000 ::> Post Graduate
>5000 ::> Doctorate/Ph.D

It adds to the 'atmosphere' in the site......thats what I feel........which is why I suggested that naming system........however I also put the english translation next to it and asked animeindia to choose either the English or Japanese version (see my 1st post)......

Your post count limits are a bit high dont you think (for the last couple ranks? maybe 3000 instead?)
