Yeah! I got there first!

Only because it's my forum :)

[Sideshow]

It is a heavy burden you lay upon me, but I will not fall!

Mwahahahaha, the power, THE POWER! It's mine, mine! or it will be once I get back from holiday, in three weeks...

The power! The absolute power!

n00b?! *sobs* Update these soon Dave. It's bad enough being shot 100 times a day!

[Exuus]

How many times do you think you'll get hit in 36 hours? :)

[Phizz]

Too many if Et is anything to go by. Small repreave in that you can only get shot once is CS. lol

[DAve]

n00b?! *sobs* Update these soon Dave.
Done. So far the ranking system is set at:
<code>N00b 0
User 2
Experienced 25
Specialist 50
Unstoppable! 100</code>
This was only a rough guess on usage. I'm not great at making up names either. There also seems to be a large gap in the middle between user and experienced though. Any suggestions?

How about:
Auto-aim 5
Spray 'n' Pray 10
Camper 15

:p

Yep, great ideas. They've been added to the list, just try and post some more and you will see!

[Bluepixie]

Sweet! I see Exuus has already made the jump to auto-aim. Awww, the poor bairn. Pity he won't keep his "camper" title for long. Maybe we could grant people a "personalised" title once they hit 1000 post or something.... :p

I can do that now. The phpBB system allows for special ranks for users, I just have to do a bit of configging. Heh-heh :)

Oh, and it allows for some graphics for the ranks as well. It might be useful to have some crosshairs in a row to distinguish between the different ranks. 0 for n00bs, 1 for auto-aim, 2 for spray etc.etc.
For example...
<a href=="http://www.phpbb-design.com/ranks/?start=20&letter=C">
http://www.phpbb-design.com/ranks/images/cstriked_1.gif
or
http://www.phpbb-design.com/ranks/images/cstrike_1.gif
or
http://www.phpbb-design.com/ranks/images/SplinterCell.gif
or

</a>
You get the idea.

Sounds like a plan but last forums I was on let you have it at 200. After all it's a little too many 1K considering the number of people who've replied so far.

[CaNNoN_FoDDa]

How about when you get over a thousand, or a set number per week, it starts getting insulting; like 'YaWee..'

[Bluepixie]

Yea, I can see your point. Maybe 200 would be a more reasonable target. I would go with that.

I like the icons/graphics for ranks. That would be cool! CS guy looks the best out of those I would say. What size of pic would it use? I could see if I could make something up.....design an original icon for it. :P

[DAve]

The graphics would be about the size they appear (I think). I quite like giving the person the option to specify their own icon if they reach 200 posts, that way they could either download one from the net or design their own. If you're offering to make a 200 post icon, then go for it :) How long before it's used?

Posting 195 replies to your own post is cheating though :D

[Exuus]

I want my "Camper" tag dammit!


Post count +1 :D

[Sideshow]

What about the Unreal ratings: can't remember them all, but I know there's a Killing Spree (Killer), Monster Kill (Monster), and it ends with Unstoppable then Godlike

[DAve]

Killing Spree
Rampage
Multi Kill
Ultra Kill
Unstoppable
Mmmmmonster Kill

THat's what the old forum had the ranks as. Dunno, we should probably take a vote on this.

[Phizz]

I'm just worried how fast you guys reply!

[DAve]

Why? It's not as if we have anything better to be doing with our time :D

[Phizz]

well... spose. Still bit strange.

[Afterburn]

Hey everybody!

By the by dave, it has occured that I am infect fully booked for Sat and Sun this weekend, so wont need the lift afterall. I will try and drop in Saturday Night.

[Exuus]

I've forgotten who I'm meant to be hitching a lift from :(

[Phizz]

That would be Henry

[Exuus]

Ah cool

[Fil2eFly]

sry my 200th post had to be in a special place. and on the first thread seems fitting

[Uuurrahh]

200? Go bake some nubcaeks. We are but gnomes compared to the 1k+ posters :(

I think you're catching up fast. Besides, us older generation have been about for a few years, we only post one or two a day. It'll even out in the long run.

Oh, and we're post-whores too ;)

[LastChanceHotel]

Thread necromancy!

[Phizz]

I don't get much time to post these days and those I do post seem to get a lot of gip. Ho hum.

[Hex]

Rofl phizz you sound so surprised that you are at the receiving end of a lot of gip ^^

This thread has reminded me of past members though, where the hell has everyone gone? I haven't seen/heard anything from Captain Caveman, Exuus, Weeble, TKMax and the rest of the old guard in quite some time (well except I saw caveman in some of my Databases lectures, I think he was resitting a coupla courses). Do I remember correctly that Weeble moved to Dundee?

[Strings]

They were never really that active on the forums really. Well apart from Exuus... but he's been kidnapped my guerilla airsoft enthusiasts in Northern Kenya. Doubt we'll hear from him again for a looooong time.

[Sideshow]

Pit & Aaron should be back for the next LAN. Weeble is indeed now in Dundee, but he has a spanky new tablet pc so he may turn up to a lan soon.
