[s]Forum titles[/s] Derail talk
« on: February 28, 2015, 07:49:33 pm »
Right now there are only two main forum titles, Escaped Lunatic and Bay Watcher. Why isn't there more forum titles? Also how many posts are needed to go from EL to BW?

This is the DF suggestions area, and technically there are four.  Toady One is "The Great" and Threetoe is "The Natural".  But yeah, take this down to the GD boards or something, this is for suggestions about dwarf fortress.

5 titles. Baughn is The Haruhiist.

Also, I think it's 10 for becoming a bay watcher.

It's actually eight. I'm not sure why that number in particular, but it is.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Yeah, he's a banned spammer. Normally we'd delete this thread too, but people were having too much fun with it by the time we got here.

I thought they were long-dormant spambots, waiting for the right time to strike?

No, those are all of the people who post. Friends, rivals... Sleeper agents.

As for why there are only two titles available to normal members, it helps avoid  creating a forum hierarchy where people with higher postcounts get to feel like they're part of an "in-club".

Well, there's evidence of serious discrimination against escaped Lunatics.

It's something that's easily changed anyways, so someone that wants to be involved in the community wouldn't be an escaped lunatic as involvement means you have to post. Plus it's pretty sketchy with escaped lunatics joining in on certain activities like giveaways and such, but I wouldn't consider that as discrimination.
