You see that thing to the left of your post under your name, the one that for you says "Apprentice" and for me says "White Rabbit"? That's a title. I don't like my title, for the record. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

It is probably based on how long you have been around, how often and how well you post. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

I'm not sure about how long or how well, I've been around as long as most here...but I suppose it may be a bit about how often...or it's simply who makes a favorable impression:D -------------------- ...well I thought it was funney...? didn't you?

Doing other, non-posting type stuff also helps. The people with the title "BoE Posse" are good examples of that. Should things like talent and productivity be anathema to you, you can sit around doing nothing in particular for a few years and then wait for Drakey to get into one of his weird moods. It worked for me! Posts: 567 | Registered: Friday, October 5 2001 07:00 |

yeah, I would agree that a single memorable post has higher value than several spamy posts. Is Karma at all relevant to this? It seems those chosen have 4-5 stars. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

Posting on forums other than Spiderweb on which Drakey also participates has a statistically significant positive correlation with one's chances of obtaining a custom title. —Alorael, who can also add that being an awful human being gets you custom titles. Canned and Banned are real crowd pleasers. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

It is indeed!!! Exile is, and should always be, the name a Citizen is given once his or her or its posts reach the required level. Avernum, after all, is just a word in a dead language which, more or less and academic disgruntilities aside, means the same thing. Exile. I will sell my soul to keep that name there if necessary. I will even parade naked in the next super bowl while a score of viagrized mandrils honking their pink and beige clown horns chase me. I do solemnly swear. Exile. (Demonslayer. I agree. Also, the bolding of the words emphasize that fact.)

I may be on the wrong track here, but I didn't think Zeviz (#24) had "Nuke and Pave" before... then again, he hasn't posted in a long time. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I think "White Rabbit" is sassy. It also has a bit of a "Matrix" quality to it, which may be a bad thing now, given the last two films... Posts: 2242 | Registered: Saturday, April 10 2004 07:00 |
