The names are all good but there could be some adjustments in the order. To me it would go:

6 - Elite

7 - Commander

8 - Hero

9 - Legend

10 - Titan



Signature goes here!

Yeah... it sounds cliche and boring on a whole, no offence.


None of them were my suggestions, so none taken, but they're the best ones so far imo. And unless you have better ones then.... yeah >_>

I say keep the current ones...

I agree. Though i'm mostly saying that because i'm close to what, back in the 2.0 days, would have been godhood, and i'd rather not have the goalposts moved yet again as i pass that milestone

The points distribution would more adequately reflect things, however

deity for # 10 would be cool, also, i see legend as more important than elite, and the change from a commander too a god seems kinda odd, we should come up with a name of a minion of gods or something like that.

Heh, I remember when I had more points than Seece before 2.0, and now he has thee times more than I do.

But as long as I'm not a Sea Dog, I'm good to go.

Actually, you briefly overtook me when you did yor banners, then I did my banners up to 1000 and jumped about 5k ahead of you

Yup, the new title list sounds much better.

I agree with this.  Maybe swap elite and commander but that's more of a toss-up; I think this order is way better. 

I don't know about you guys but I actually like the Old Guard title, except it can obviously be odd if someone relatively new accumulates that much.  I like it better than Agent. 

Also, it seems like almost all of them seem like ranks, which makes "Sea Dog" really look out of place IMO. 

Maybe,
1 - Newbie
2 - Rookie - pass 2k
3 - Padawan - over 9000
4 - Agent - pass 25k
5 - Old Guard - pass 50k
6 - Captain - pass 100k
7 - Elite - pass 180k
8 - Hero - pass 300k
9 - Legend - pass 500k
10 - Titan - pass 1m

You'll notice I also tweaked the thresholds.  I looked at what the score increase had to be for each level, and this is what it is for machina's list: 
0
+1
+9
+15
+25
+50
+75
+75
+250
+500

It just seemed really odd for those two levels to be exactly the same amount needed to advance.  Then there's a HUGE requirement, over THREE times the amount of the last two!  The point is that the increase is very uneven.  My suggestion would have made it: 
0
+2
+7 (or 8, for 10k)
+16 (or 15)
+25
+50
+80
+120
+200
+500

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
