I feel like I have been at blue dragon status here at the board for a very long time... I am tired of blue and want a pretty brown dragon! ;)
Anyone know the various milestones between egg and gold? Just for us eternally curious souls!
Well, Patrick is a brown dragon at 242 and Rochelle is a blue dragon at 123. Does that help any?
Yeah, I was think that probably the 100s are blue, the 200s browns, 300s bronze and above 400 golds.
Which is rather disappointing really, because I have a lot of posts to go before I hit the 200s!
Quote from: "Anwen"Yeah, I was think that probably the 100s are blue, the 200s browns, 300s bronze and above 400 golds.
There must be something more tricky about it. Yvonne is a bronze dragon on 393 and Clancey also on 494.
But 500+ does seem to be gold.
To work on it for yourself go to the membership list and sort it by 'total posts'.
I think Bree said in another thread that she didn't realise some people would get to gold so fast and then have no more progression. Perhaps we can help her out by suggesting another set of 'status' titles, either to add on or to instead of the current six levels.
Right now it's: egg - weyrling - green dragon - blue dragon - brown dragon - bronze dragon - gold dragon.
Perhaps ... Oh, I don't know. Candidate, weyrling, wingrider, wingthird, wingsecond, wingleader, weyrleader. That would give one extra level and be a nice, logical progression.
Or perhaps put those first - the real career progression ones as people are newer to the boards so they have achievable targets - and then the five colours? That would give twelve levels.
I shall stop now. (I think I need a life.)
I was actually thinking about doing that, Jane!
I will put in as MANY ranks as you guys can come up with... as long as someone else sorts them into order for me! :D
I sort of like the idea of going through all the craft ranks and then dragonrider ranks... dragons get to be the top just because this IS Pern, after all. ;)
Go wild coming up with them! If someone wants to organize idea gathering and a sorting, I will implement the finished project. :D
And I don't remember all of the levels, but 500 is gold right now.
How many for curmudgeon?
Well, then, I think the advancement points should be nice and small when starting out, but then get bigger to stop us using up all the level quickly.
Up to:
10 - candidate (or whatever)
30 - weyrling
60 - wingrider
100 - wingthird
150 - wingsecond
210 - wingleader
280 - weyrleader
There's a natural break here, so the rate progression could slow:
400 - green dragon
600 - blue dragon
850 - brown dragon
1150 - bronze dragon
1500 - gold dragon
Even so, Bree you would still be a gold dragon with no hope of progression. Perhaps you could choose your own title after that?
perhaps break it imto two. Like Junior goldrider and then senior goldrider?
And I can help with the ranks, Bree! I know how to do them! ::claps for one bit of spontaneous learning::: I was trying to figure out how to make titles and I found that out too!
FYI, bronze is at 300 and gold at 500, just as y'all surmised.
It would be fun to have ranks using our persona titles... hold resident, holdless, steward, ship captain.. etc.. plus all the crafts like Bree said.
April's idea of 2 gold is a good one too. Maybe you could add the craft ranks and hold ranks in for more and make the sr gold dragon a little ways higher still.
Look what my question turned into! LOL I absolutely love it... especially because I was worried that people would read it and just roll thier eyes and not reply.
Maybe that means the highest rank should be "Bree" ;)
Only if anyone else gets there, I'm going to make them run the website from now on! Post at your own peril!
Nah, just kidding. I'm not that evil. Probably...
:twisted:
Well, Bree, why do you thinking I'm content to be 300 posts behind you! I still get the glory but none of the hassel!
Ok, I guess I get a LITTLE of the hassel... ;)

I was gonna say! I thought I was hasseling you
Get her! GET HER MIKEL!
*runs the other way*
Quote from: "Bree"Get her! GET HER MIKEL!
Yes Boss!!! :twisted:
Quote from: "Bree"Maybe that means the highest rank should be "Bree" ;)
Of course! Then Weathertop, Rivendell, Moria ...
We're tracking hobbits, right?
:lol:
Latest suggestion. Comments on intervals, order, titles?
~~
Phase 1 – Craft Progression
6 levels, +10 on the previous interval
0 – junior apprentice
10 – senior apprentice
30 ~ junior journeyman
60 ~ senior journeyman
100 ~ master
150 ~ hallmaster
Phase 2 – Dragonrider Progression
7 levels, +50
200 ~ candidate
250 ~ weyrling
300 ~ wingrider
350 ~ wingthird
400 ~ wingsecond
450 ~ wingleader
500 ~ weyrleader
Phase 3 – Weyrwoman Progression
3 levels, +100
600 ~ weyrling weyrwoman
700 ~ junior weyrwoman
800 ~ senior weyrwoman
Phase 4 – Dragons Themselves
5 levels, +200
1000 -~green dragon
1200 ~ blue dragon
1400 ~ brown dragon
1600 ~ bronze dragon
1800 ~ gold dragon
~~
With this (for example):
Bree = brown dragon
Eimi = blue dragon
Emma = senior weyrwoman
Clancey = wingleader
Patrick = candidate
Anwen = master
Mikel = senior journeyman
~~
I like that there are lots of incriments! Makes it more fun to watch your progress! :)
OOO! I like it!

Honey, that is when you go to your little member rewards, and BUY your own custom title!
That's silly. I have put almost 49 years of hard work to be the curmdgeon I am today. Even you wouldn't deny that
:D

::cheers for Jane::
Then with the permission of the Council, I'm taking this over to be a clubwide vote! :D
Thanks for all of your input! Now convince your fellow club members to approve. ;)
