Title: Forum Rank Rage
Post by: joer5835 on June 12, 2013, 08:08:27 pm: So, I just realized this, why is there no Private First Class forum rank?

And not just Pfc, Staff Sergeant and Gunnery Sergeant are also missing. FSE, fix that, it's affecting my OCD.

Post by: Matthew on June 12, 2013, 08:42:16 pm: In my opinion they should be using civil war ranks but they couldn't be bothered to make the icons =(

Edit: In no ways are these British ranks the insignia are clearly American and First Sergeant and Brigadiers General are not British ranks.

Post by: Jelly on June 12, 2013, 09:48:10 pm: I was saying that it would be better if they 'WERE' British ranks. I know that they are American ranks.

Post by: Blobmania on June 13, 2013, 12:45:18 am: End 'o' the day, the forum is for all of FSE's projects - pretty much any rank structure would be sufficient, given that there's no rank structure that will cover all eras portrayed in their games.

Post by: Matthew on June 13, 2013, 01:47:43 am: Well StarTrek ranks please senior global moderator.

But the forum seems to be civil war themed so why not the ranks.

Hah, ranks from the Terran Federation's military would be better.

These.. are US ranks from the 1860s..
Granted, there are ranks missing, but almost all of them are located within the other branches or services. (Cavalry, Artillery, Navy, etc.) I don't know about you, but I would rather people not be assigned random ranks from every branch of the US military.

The ability to change what branch your ranks are from would be interesting, though I highly doubt it's possible.

Post by: TheBoberton on June 15, 2013, 04:49:20 pm: You know, I do have one complaint about the accuracy of the ranks..

The 'Commander in Chief' and 'President' ranks are redundant, as the President of the United States holds the rank of Commander in Chief of the US Armed Forces..
Title: Re: Forum Rank Rage
Post by: Burakkuada on June 16, 2013, 11:00:03 am: I think it would be cool if you could just choose one of the 5 nations and then you'd have the ranks for that nation, e.g for Russia:

Private:
- Chastnyy (Russian)
- Privat (Prussia / Austria)
- Privé (French)

The American who created the ranking system agrees, the President rank was not originally planned.

Title: Re: Forum Rank Rage
Post by: joer5835 on July 23, 2013, 03:41:01 pm: Funny thing, they might be actual Civil War ranks, but they have modern day insignia's. It would make sense to give us at least some realistic rank icons.
Title: Re: Forum Rank Rage
Post by: ClearlyInvsible on July 28, 2013, 12:41:14 am: These are Civil War ranks. There were no Gunnery Sgts or thinks like that in the United States Army in 1860-1865

On the topic of the "Commander in Chief" rank, it should be changed to "General of the Army". For the sake of historical accuracy.

But that didn't exist until after the war, when it was created to give Grant even more command over everything.

Does anyone even have that rank on the forums?? ???

This means you would need to spend over one year on the forums. Considering that this website has not been established for over a year, yet, the only person who has it is Blob, because he ~~hax~~ legitimately acquires hours.

Well, you would know what I mean if you checked his hours, Mene.

Why is that? On taleworlds people aren't asking for silly own titles either when they reach the "last level" and neither are they getting the chance to. Why should that be here different?

This site registers activity. If you haven't been doing jack shit after half an hour, it stops counting.

So, apply an autoclicker anywhere. Like: "Show new replies to your posts."

You will remain active, and you will reach commander in chief within the year.
