So here's me attempting to sell my list of easy to digest Caldari ranks while folding in ancient Bushido tradition, corporate jargon, and napanii conjugation every now and again.

I) Shaatei (Lowest ranking member. IE "Ensign Ricky.")
II) Nit+ìhei (Equal to a Private)
III) Goch+ì (Corporal)
IV) Guns+ì (Sergeant)
V) S+ìch+ì (Sergeant Major)
VI) Chuigun (Lieutenant)
VII) Taiikugun (Captain)
VIII) Sh+ìsa (Major)
IX) Taisa (Colonel)
X) Taish+ì (General)

Above that would be Dai-Gensui but that would have to be a Grand Marshal on par with a commander-in-chief. I assumed that a typical hired grunt wouldn't be able to ever reach that level without deep corporate ties and sponsorship and is probably better left to NPCs who operate the Peacekeepers themselves. (And frankly it conflicts with the already preexisting napanii/caldari word for forget, so it would clash with pre-existing lore.)

Now if you need to drop the lines over the Os to make it more practical that would be gucci, but I assure you there is a method to all of this madness. Certain traditional ranks have been modified to be one word based from two-word rankings used in Japan during the industrial era. I figure that gives it a nice fusion between Nordic and Asiatic syntax, while at the higher echlons like Shosa are shortened since the term used for 'officer' is implied.

Before anyone asks: Yes, I post in the IGS. Yes, I have a lot of free time.

I think I like your Amarr standing lv 10 suggestions more than mine. Scutariorum Imperatrix sounds appropriately fancy, though not sure why an empress of a bodyguard would be on a battlefield light-years away from her. You should come up with something equally fancy and latin. EDIT: made the Amarr one High imperial reclaimer to make it more impressive, the Minmatar one was more impressive so I think now they're pretty even. Tribunus Imperii roughly means High Captain of the Empire "So you came back......My son, my Udorian son.....bearing the filthy blood of his heathen mother." - Eaderan Ouryon

But for real, i just want a "Shaman" title somewhere around the board. Suggestion: let us choose our title, LP standing should only unlock new ones.

Would it only be the highest standing that shows up on the tag? Or highest lifetime achieved, but only one race If it is highest lifetime achieved, it should switch if an equal standing is achieved with another faction. They are equal, but the more recently achieved should take precedent. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

They are described as: ""The will appears to be strong, strong enough to draw the hugr [animate will] back to one's body. These reanimated individuals were known as draugar. However, though the dead might live again, they could also die again. Draugar die a "second death" as Chester Gould calls it, when their bodies decay, are burned, dismembered or otherwise destroyed."

Snake Sellors Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 137	Posted - 2014.07.10 20:41:00 - [55] - Quote Just want to say, at the moment I don't bother with factional at all. these are a great incentive along with the lp boost coming along but we do need the gaps filling in the lp store, but I would like to start to find fw worth playing so please keep up the attention for now. thanks I'd also just like to suggest any chance of getting other game modes included? for example if a large area of space is captured it would make sense if their enemies would start to "ambush" them. (on a side note, probably not a great idea but in ambush oms.. how about only attackers get a vehicle maybe two? on account of it being an ambush. thoughts?)

Would it be possible to get a dropdown list of all the titles you have in the forum 'settings' menu, so you can choose which one you want from the ones you have unlocked? It seems like a good way to resolve inter-racial title conflicts and also allow people to not show tags if they don't want to (for example, if they played FW for only a moment and didn't really feel like being called X rank). Gallente Sgt Kirk approves of the Ranking see you space cowboy...
