Arch-Mage Solberg Shock Trooper Member # 303	written Thursday, November 30 2006 12:54 Profile #0 I meant to mention this some time ago, but forgot. I was wondering if I could get the special title of Arch-Mage instead of explorer? I'd change my name from Arch-Mage Solberg to Solberg! :cool: Just figured I'd ask! :) -------------------- My name's Solberg. Pronounced Sol-Berg. Exile/Avernum's Greatest LIVING Archmage! I'm sure you've heard of me at some point. Posts: 385 \| Registered: Tuesday, November 20 2001 08:00

Not to say you are not one already. :rolleyes: After all, you are member #303.

EDIT 2: If I had to choose a custom title... Well, I wouldn't. Right now, I'm perfectly content with Adventurer.

Zeviz Nuke and Pave Member # 24	written Thursday, November 30 2006 13:46 Profile Homepage #9 Generally, asking for a custom title is a good way to make sure you'll never get one, unless you privately ask Drakey for something insulting.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, November 30 2006 14:01 Profile Homepage #11 Everyone is special one way or another. If you can't figure out how you're special you probably don't want to know, of course. —Alorael, who believes SMoE asked i nicely and privately while Drakey was away and got exactly what he asked for. There are several lessons in this: titles were easier to come by in the good old days, i's evil is growing, and the same trick never works twice.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Thursday, November 30 2006 17:48 Profile Homepage #19 Because I'm bored, here's a list of members up to #500 who still post (with a few exceptions): Spidweb TM (banned but around) MM (occasionally) i Drakey Saunders (occasionally) Alec (now temporarily banned and apparently permanently gone) Sullust (occasionally) Archmage Alex (ocasionally) Alex (ocasionally) Khoth Imban (looming frighteningly) Ash Luz (ocasionally) VCH Slarty Solberg With yours truly, that's only 18, or 3.6%. That's not much, but it's more than my estimate of the ratio of total (sporadically) active members to members. —Alorael, who concludes that being or having been a mod or admin is good for duration of stay. It's also surprisingly likely to get you banned. Go figure. Posts: 14579* \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Thursday, November 30 2006 18:15 Profile Homepage #21 Don't worry, Nemesis. No matter how careful you are, he'll come up with something. The main thing you should remember is that, while he can be vulgar and flammable, he is a decent and reasonable person. He should be respected. It should be also kept in mind that he still occasionally can get messages through to the boards, via other members. I have seen two such examples, one about Emperor Tullegolar, and another to Emperor Tullegolar. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.
