Hey, guys.

Because they have no real, practical purpose anymore, the staff has decided to move away from traditional Nsider ranks in favor of a 10-rank system with names elected by you, the users.

People will earn new ranks at:
10, 25, 50, 100, 500, 1k, 2.5k, 5k, 10k, and 20k posts, respectively.

So, in order to determine the names, we'd like you to post two ideas for each rank level in this thread. Rank levels 1-5 should be the names of Nintendo enemies of increasing power, and 6-10 should be protagonists, bosses, or villains of increasing importance.

Your form should look like this:
10 Posts: Deku Baba, Spinia
25 Posts: Cleft, Moblin
50 Posts: Wizrobe, Gordo
100 Posts: Enemy1, Enemy2
500 Posts: Enemy1, Enemy2
1000 Posts: Team Galactic, Zora
etc. up to...
20k Posts: Hero of Time, Plumber

The top two or three choices from each rank level will pass on to Phase II, where the final decision for the name of each level will be made.

For the convenience of the moderators tallying this thread, we ask that you do not chat. Thank you.

Be creative, and best of luck towards all of your ideas.

What do you think?

OK, but suggest two for each level and turn things like Vaati into "Wind Sorcerer" or King Dedede into "Dream Land Monarch".

20,000 posts: Tabuu/Giga Bowser   (SSB Series)

I listed the series to make it clear what I wanted repped. I also feel that more ranks are needed, in between 10,000 and 20,000 is a terrible wait to rank up, and so on. And many users have more than 20,000 posts.

As it is, ranks aren't important, but something fun, and I feel that there should be 15.....alleviate the space a bit.

how about at 20,000 we decide our own rank?

I completely agree with the last one. I would love to see a smash brothers rank for the most prominent rank.
...Friend codes were probably implemented by the same people who wanted tripping in Brawl...
...It's quite obvious...

Would be nice, but it's not practical. We'd have to create a separate membergroup for every person over 20k posts. The best that's going to happen is Choose-your-own-title, which you've already got.
