At long last...

Post by Bob »

... the Town of Odyssey is mine!

Just kidding.

Actually, it's time to announce a new set of post count ranks! The tradition used to be that mayoral teams would come up with a new list, and since the one from the Town Council a few years back has stuck around without alteration, it's definitely time for a change.

We don't intend to reveal the new rank list at this time, to give you an opportunity and incentive to explore it, but we do expect to release it around the end of our term.

Thanks for your continued interest and participation!

You better have reinstated "Catspaw Rocks" it is a travesty that historic rank was ever removed.

I did study early rank lists, and I'm not sure it is as historic as, say, "Spam King". ;)

We understand that this rank holds a special place in some members' hearts, however. A perusal of the census information should answer questions about this subject.

How? It was a rank from the beginning days of the board.

The earliest rank list I found, Eugene Blackgaard's, didn't have it. I'm also not aware if it was on any of Bmuntz/Catspaw's lists, Jonathan/Evil Chick's lists, or Trent/Frank's lists.

So, I'm not currently aware of evidence for it being there, as a rank, from the literal beginning. It may even be closer to our time than that. However, there's no doubt it is objectively a very old rank, much closer to the beginning than the present, and it is also a significant and influential rank that has a role in ToO culture.

"Beginning days" not necessarily day one, but it showed up within a year so pretty darn close as site history goes, and it remained in place for ten years after that.

Bob's post sent me looking through my old term two old mayoral board for the list Barry and I had, since I didn't have a strong memory of it. We purposely didn't post them originally so people could have the fun of discovering them (or apparently that's what Shadowpaw said after I posted the list and he removed it) ;) but there's no reason not to share at term two list from 2005.
0-49 – n00b comes to town
50-99 – Has survived so far
100-199 – May show signs of ToO addiction already
200-449 – Gaining in stature and wisdom
450-699 – Now understands EK
700-949 – Barry is the man!
950-999 - Needs a hug for an unknown reason
1000-1010 – Is officially a prolific ToOer!
1011-1249 – Awesomeness is upon me (and Me)
1250-1499 – Greetings and salutations!
1500-1999 – I like randomness
2000-2499 – TCW forever!
2500-2999 – In need of a straight jacket
3000-3499 – Borderline ToO obsessive-compulsive
3500-3999 - *ring, ring*
4000-4499 – A proud concurer
4500-4999 – Thinks Bernard is grunt-a-licious
5000-5499 – Fondly recalls when EB posted regularly
5500-5999 – Larry Melwood is a geek!
6000-6499 – Sunshine is most excellent
6500-6999 – I love The Top Crusader!
7000-7499 – Crazy-glued to the keyboard
7500-7999 – Needs to find a 12-step program
8000-8499 – System overload – cannot compute
8500-8999 – Really likes Hillingdale Haven.
9000-9499 – Awesomeness defined
9500-9999 – Yay! \:D/
Though Catspaw Rocks doesn't appear on this list, it could be related to the fact that I created the list and that would seem a tad more egotistical than strictly necessary. ;)

I was going for "SPAM KING" for a while. Incidentally, I do like oversalted, canned pork product.
