Politiks

Ulyanov · Sat Apr 28, 2007 1:03 pm Ranks?

All we have right now is Newbitik, what other ranks should there be? The way the rank images are, eight ranks would work well. Anyone have any good names? I'm thinking semi-political, but not entirely, maybe something that sounds political but isn't?

I'm not good at making up words, but Dark Horse and gerrymander are political even though they don't sound it.

Maybe we could mix up words, have a rank like "gerryhorse" or "darkmander."

gerryhorse is funny, darkmander sounds like dark matter but even that doesn't make it sound cool.

Hater.
I'll make gerryhorse come after Newbitik, when you get 25 posts. Darkmander is lame though, i was just thinking.

LOL, gerryhorse sounds ridiculous, but it's good anyway. Just to help think of things:

Seems like there should be a way to use pork barrel.

Yeah, maybe for spammers, except I'd rather just delete them...

Maybe for those annoying people that make worthless posts just to show off a link in their sig?

LOL yeah, don't have to delete them, just give them a user title "Pork Barreler" or something.

OK I'm gonna do that. I think I want to use Demagogue too somewhere.

The only words i'm good at making up are math words like bi-polymetric. Maybe make up words for the actual ranks, and then for special ranks (like the spammers) have be close to real words.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. Maybe I'll be able to completely make up the regular ones like Newbitik.

Nice. My stats prof did that on a multiple-choice test once, she put something like "Anti-Symmetric Pattern" as one of the choice.

I'll bet some people chose it too.
