Hey Will, this looks fun. Not too sure about the current titles based off aristocracy - where titles are mostly inherited through lineage, unlike Commendations which have to be earned through effort. Court roles could be a more suited option, through literary/librarian based names could also work.
Also, how about refreshing every two weeks? The titles may not mean as much if they're changing weekly, imaginary though they are.
Furthermore, if you want to make the job of creating these even faster, I could cook up a quick excel sheet for you.
Is this format acceptable (you have to manually confirm the gender)
1 King Steve24833, Ordained Exemplar of the Sages (84 Commendations) 2 Prince IronPanther, Sovereign of the Wardens (67 Commendations) 3 Duchess TharaApples, Lauded of the Sages (48 Commendations) 4 Marquis StrykerL, Lauded of the Sages (41 Commendations) 5 Earl Will11, Pre-Eminent Exemplar of the Architects (38 Commendations) 6 Viscount JJJ-thebanisher, Lauded Exemplar of the Sages (34 Commendations) 7 Baroness mizal, Lauded of the Sages (29 Commendations) 8 Count Ogre11, Esteemed of the Architects (23 Commendations) 9 Chamberlain ISentinelPenguinI of the Sages (18 Commendations) 10 Captain WouldntItBeNice, Immortal of the Marauders (15 Commendations) 11 Lady Crescentstar, Esteemed of the Architects (12 Commendations) 12 Sir Romulus, Infrangible Exemplar of Avon of the Wardens (11 Commendations) 13 Sir/Lady LNFyle of the Sages (10 Commendations) 14 Sir MinnieKing of the Sages (9 Commendations) 15 Sir jep49 of the Sages (8 Commendations) 15 Sir/Lady Bannerlord, Esteemed of the Architects (8 Commendations)
If you don't enter a gender, it defaults to the Male/Female title (Seen here in #13 LNFyle)
For Title holders, should it be "Steve, Exemplar amongst the Sages" and for non title holders "Steve of the Sages" ? (amongst vs of), because for Marauders - Notorious of the Marauders doesn't sound right

The aristocratic thing works because those of us that are good are good naturally rather than through any hard work.
I love this
What the fuck is a Chamberlain!? It's some kind of Butler! Why the hell does Wibbins get to be a fucking Captain, but I have to be some asshole's house manager!? I don't even know what they're the captain of, but it's sure as shit more useful than being someone's full-time interior designer. Fuck's sake, man!
It's a very fitting title for you, Chamberpot SentinelPenguin.
I suppose you really are a gentleman. You've got noble inbred dyslexia and everything!
I was merely mocking the ridiculousness of your title. I pray to the Queen that I never get placed 9th on this list.
There is no Queen, unless Steve got somethin' he ain't tellin' us.
*mew* I see. :3
Oh look, how much better I am is being recorded. Terrific. The fact that I'm tied to a quarter of the site, most of which are idiots, is disappointing, though.
All hail the Irish prick.
I see someone's been hard at work.
This would be an ironical way to get commendations tho.
Do we seriously think Will is secretly that sly and cunning?
Yes.
Who's this Nyctophilia guy? He's taking my job! >-> Congrats though.
Between this and the Weekly Review, you must have your hands full!
Sorry, but I had to get in this! :)
Naomi 2.0
Naomi's dead.
...
Well that killed the mood.
What? Profile issues killed him off.
Actually, she pretty consistently refuses to say.
Technically, the proper word would be "always" instead of "pretty consistently". Y'all have just decided that I'm female. Do whichever one you want, Will.
Always, whatever. Still not sure why you refuse to say because it's not really important information that you can't give out but it would make so many things, like pronouns and this thing, much easier.
Barely managed to sneak in once again. Nice.
Wow, Nycto rose like a rocket! This is good, it means we may see a rise in dedicated comment reviewers in the future, and that's good for the site.
Makes me think we could have additional title pre-fixes based on what's the member's largest source of commendations.
Steve would be 'the Writer'
Nycto would be 'the Reviewer'
and the like.
Also, happy to hear (and see) the table worked :)
That's a cool idea, I like it.
:D
I'm a chamberlain!
Thank you for this, Will. It gives me the motivation I need to get going on my storygame and commenting on other storygames for commendations. The gap between 4th and 5th irks me, so I might as well start chipping away at it.
@TharaApples is in striking distance of Steve. Down with the King! Apples for everyone! One more week, one more position slipped in my case >_<
Also, this is the first week people have left the list. Looks like things are finally heating up.
Sorry about that. I kind of knocked you down a spot after my climb into the top.
I plan on making another attempt at stealing the crown by the next Roll of Honour, so be prepared, my friend.
I think that members should be mentioned once in the previously featured list before being removed in the next edition for a new set of members that might fall off of the actually Roll of Honour.
Hm...that's a good point. It's yours anyway, so it's up to you.
Well, I guess it's about time I went on a comment spree...

A special congratulations to TharaApples who rises to the Number One position and becomes the first person on this site to individually earn over 100 Commendations, also congratulations to MinnieKing for earning a lot of Commendations in the last week. Incidentally the Previously Noted list will extend up to ten names, after that people at the tail end will begin to "vanish"... :)
Well done to everyone for their hard work and I wonder if anyone can drive Thara off her pedestal?
Watch yer back Thara, i'm stealing that crown. Thank you for the congratulations will :D
Captain Crescentstar sounds so corny, but I like it. xD And it's funny how 11 to the end of Previously Noted all have "Sir" at the front. Wait... are only three females on the list? xD Why am I noticing gender. I'm being weird right now. AHhh
Actually I have a theory that Steve is female
Does that mean I'm lez? Jk xD
GOOD JOB THARA for kicking her him off that throne though!!! ^_^
And soon Thara will be the one being kicked off the throne >:)
Huh? I don't really see this as a rivalry tbh. I already achieved my goals of being the first person to ever get most commended and the first to reach triple digits in commendations.
You could probably publish a commendable story and surpass me in the half of the time. Lel. Anyway, cheers.
Until I steal the crown, I consider you a heartless and cruel queen and enemy, killing the CYStians one by one.
It's time for me to achieve my goals now >:D
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, and that's a good idea Count Stryker.
I just now noticed it says Princess Steve xD
From now on i'm gonna call him Princess Steve. So you have about 67?
Don't make threats until I have the crown, pal.
You do realize that i'm awesome, right? ;)

Thank you for your efforts, Marquis Will! ^-^
You're right. A lot has changed in the past month or so.
*Cries tears of joy*
Duchess Steve.
King MinnieKing.
I'm so fucking happy
Very true. King MinnieKing sounds better though, since I get to be praised as King twice.
Tell those bastards I don't want any of those damned girlscout cookies
Lol, nice one- aaaand shit. We're being spammed again.
What? Really?
Look at the lounge >~<
Rainbow has no life.
Or perhaps Ryder has a new lackey.
That's likely.
I literally just copy/pasted the image into the text box. I've been told how to adjust the size before, but I thought it would fit. I was wrong.
Or style="max-width: 100%;" so it only stretches the image if it overflows the box.
I’m pretty happy to be able to make it onto this list! Thanks :)
Cool, I’m on the list. Glad I could make some sort of contribution, thanks.
Cool.
Ah, come on Will. You should've honoured Steve with the title "earlene" instead, according to the previous chats.
Glad to know my week of whoring for commendations giving detailed analysis solely for the benefit of the authors has paid off.
Yey! I'm a lady! ^_^
