Note that this is the same idea as here http://myadventuregame.com/forums/message.aspx?MessageId=2688 However, as I requested, these are a different set of rankings, and I like them much better. We are a writing site, so the Rankings should be based on that.

I'd replace Nobody with Reader, which indicates no published stories (regardless of points).

Thoughts anyone?

Some of the rankings don't make sense.

Well, I just put togather as many random names that I could and posted them.
It's alittle sketchy......

Some of them I agree dont make sense, I just made as a joke though..........

Lots of great ideas, Exiled. I've come with some which I'll post below. Just thought of some potential problems, though. If someone had, say, 3000 points and spent them in some way so that they now had 2000, would their title go back to a lower rung? If so, that seems not only a discouragement to use points but would make the title no longer reflective of the individual's contributions. Maybe once a title is reached is doesn't get lower from using points. Or better yet, a person's title could reflect many of their contributions, such as meaningful comments on forums, co-authoring, etc. etc. Course, this would entail another discussion and a whole different issue, so I'll shut up and post the ranks I thought up.

I'm not going to put point values next to these, just level 1, 2, etc. so you guys can feel free to assign whatever values you want to reach them.

Level 0  -  Guest
Level 1   - Reader
Level 2   - Apprentice Scrivener   (feel free to substitute "scribe," they mean the same thing)
Level 3   - Journeyman Scrivener
Level 4   - Master Scrivener
Level 5   - Dramatist
Level 6   - Novelist
Level 7   - Apprentice Wordsmith
Level 8  - Journeyman Wordsmith
Level 9  -  Master Wordsmith
Level 10 - Grandmaster of the Written Word

I think your status is wherever you were highest so if yo uspent it, you would not go down.  Its like, you are wherever yo uwere highest.

About your levels, I like some of it!  But I think they should be like this maybe?

Level 0  -  Guest
Level 1   - Reader
Level 2   - Apprentice Scrivener   (feel free to substitute "scribe," they mean the same thing)
Level 3   - Apprentice Wordsmith
Level 4   - Dramatist
Level 5   - Novelist
Level 6   - Journeyman Scrivener
Level 7   - Journeyman Wordsmith
Level 8  - Master Scrivenneth
Level 9  -  Master Wordsmith
Level 10 - Grandmaster of the Written Word

I just dont see how an apprentice Wordsmith outranks a master scribe?! Imagine spending twenty years to become a master of your trade, just to be outranked by a snotty teen?!

Rank System

Good point. But I was thinking along the lines that scribes only copy people's works, rarely do they create themselves. I was trying to differentiate between a really original writer and one who is still sort of derivative. So as one progresses through scribe, eventually they can attain "wordsmith," meaning they truly craft their own words.I may be an idiot, however. Lol.

Was thinking, if you think scribe just seems higher than wordsmith, we could do this but at least still keep the progression so people feel like they're moving from apprentice to journeyman to master, like in ancient guilds.

I like "of the quill" and librarian. I think comparing us to certain other authors (in the titles at least) might be a little weird, though. How many of us can really say we can write like JRR?
