Rank/Tittle... Idk

I like it, but it would be a hassle to put in...

 

Wolvie and tommy would get new rank if this is introduced. FORGOT TO SAY: I like idea, and good thing is that little (2-4) people would have it.

 

Need Fourth Rank for having all 3 Ranks.

 

How would they all be earned? If we cannot purchase them then that means we would need to set up a system of voting, or a way to establish who earns what title. This makes this ranking system a lot more complicated. Also, on top of our current tags, adding an extra tag with it will make our names a lot longer then they are now. This will cause even more clutter in the chat.

I like the idea of a way of recognizing other users for things that they have achieved with in the server. Maybe not so much as a rank system itself, to be shown in chat, but maybe some thing on the forums.

If we do add a way of recognizing users for being a good builder, or being handy with redstone, this could also open up another avenue for money passing among players. This would provide a way for users who do not like to build, or just want some thing special, to hire some one who has been recognized by the community as being good at a specific task.

 

I think it should be something like this: andy see someone pixel art or building he like, check his other work, and he decide if he will give them that rank or no. This would be only when andy want, noone would apply for it or anything. That would make rank special.

 

If the rank was kept to the forum to avoid clutter, it'd be fine. Though, lots of people don't use the forum.. I would like to see the ranks in-game, but they would probably have to be a symbol. Could be * in colors for the rank, but if there was a lot of ranks... Would add up if you achieved them all somehow. lol

If other ranks/titles/statuses were added, they would need an extreme amount of hard work to get. :/ Whether on the forum or in-game, it would be a lot of work for Andrew to change or add a rank, let alone check out what the user did to see if they really earned it.

 

I apologize for the negative input, but I might as well say it before someone else does.

1. We have had tags shortened in the past, due to the character length of some usernames - this will only "spam" chat further, with text going down lines that they normally shouldn't be going.

2. As asphyxiatorlove has said, determining who gets what (in a 200+ user server), would be entirely cluttered - as Andrewkm himself, isn't always online to see who's proficient in one field rather than the other. Sure, we may vote - But how often will we have to vote - and how inconvenient will this be, stacked upon the dozens of Resident, Mayor, President, Town Feature applications made daily?

3. If what asphyxiatorslove has spoken before, about a member being "recognized" -- They should automatically be recognized after awhile ingame, when they have built immaculate structures. That's how Staff applications are reviewed, by player observation and that user building up a reputation for themselves. This is just the exact same way, as that player too, will eventually build up that sort of reputation, instead of just having their tag to justify the work they've done. Also, it may feel biased as what's "awesome" to one user, may be completely different from another. Some users may build large structures and to them, it may seem "awesome" - but if not voted for, they'd feel insignificant and their work, meaningless.

 

That is not entirely true. Being over 200 users on the server, it would be some what harder to make yourself stand out. Yes, having more users could potentially increase your chances to stand out, but the sheer number of towns and how large the map is will make it harder. Have you been around to all the new towns that are popping up? I know I have not, there are too many. Not too mention if there are towns with no portal, traffic to those towns would be severely decreased. Not all towns will have a portal letting people come to them, some people just want a town so that they can have protection for some of the things that they want to build.
