Titling Discussion

[BuJaber]

Most users have default titles that are based solely on their post count,

Okay actual good idea
is it possible we can redo these now?

Assuming I've the authorization to do so, yes; open to suggestions there.

Is there a list of them somewhere with the post count thresholds?

They don't seem to have a logical progression, just random mafia roles.

They're not particularly bad I guess, just the middle 3 of Townie, Goon, Mafia Scum is a bit weird.

Survivor as you say makes sense as the ultimate end goal. It also symbolizes how long the person has undoubtedly stayed on the site.

Jack of All Trades I understand also because it's a person of many talents, which is usually what people become as they gain more experience playing.

Watcher is probably the best one, it's spot on. Ninja is cool also.

But the 3 in the middle... Townie .. okay that's an alignment not a role first of all, then it goes to goon, so I guess we're going for less scummy to more scummy? Mafia scum .. I kinda see what the intention is but scum and mafia are typically used interchangeably so it's a little redundant and again it's not a role where all the others where.

If we are to keep the other 4 and want something more inline with them then it has to go from least complex to more complex. Say vanilla townie -> goon -> godfather, or goon -> traitor -> godfather. If adding a new 5k title (and bumbling up JoaT and Survivor), maybe goon -> traitor -> serial killer -> godfather.

I dunno just rambling at this point. I just feel those middle 3 don't really sit right with the rest the way they are right now.

You're newer to the site so you probably don't know that originally, there were only three titles. People think of Mafia Scum as having staying power from being the traditional title, but they don't realize that Townie and Goon have been around for just as long. Townie was, if I recall correctly, 0-50 posts; Goon was 51-100 posts, and Mafia Scum was 100+ posts originally. I could be misremembering the post numbers, but they have that history and culture behind them.

That explains it then.

Should there be a tier for 20000?

Yes.

Like Ali said. People are already there, and there is a full page of players above 10k.

If we're going for a revamp, might as well future-proof it.

Have something new for 10k and survivor be 20k
