Yah, we need some new ranks. Maybe I'll just quintuple all the threshholds.

I'll probably try something new-- not sure what yet.

Any luck yet?

Yes, it is. I blame Whimemsz on that one (yay, passing the buck, I could be a politician).
Hey, I knew it was Horselord! I was just testing you!

Did I pass?

Well, I thought I would be completely annoying and write a new post on a thread that's been dead for six weeks just to turn myself into an iliu. Ilii are better, because they're naked.

Ghost · Post by **Ghost** » Fri Sep 26, 2003 1:28 pm

Yeah, Mark, what happened the the new ranks?

Ilii are naked?

I thought that was a blue bodysuit! At any rate, being naked and blue and holding a clipboard is better than a speedo and a stick! ::paitiently waits to become an Iliu::

Perhaps since the ranks are names of generic species, zompist could add extra ranks of famous individuals, such as Shm Revouse, the emperor Erv?a, the warlord who invented Jippur-worship, some famous artist in Xurno, etc.

Or perhaps move up the Verdurian social ladder.

They're here!

And they're pretty!

And they seem to be elaborating even as I type.

What the...?! I get to be an iliu for three lousy posts?

Oh, but how can you complain about being endi? A very pretty picture, the essence of wood? I envy you your endi-ness. I jump directly to being all ktuvoky and firey.

And icelani might well go naked too. Do we know about that, anyone?

But now there's now something to aspire to. For me, at least. Dudicon and Jaaaaaa are already shalea, which is the natural end of the progression.

Hmmm?

Edit: Oh, well you were only Endi for three posts, too

Now you're back to iliu.

They're all Cadhinorian elementals - check out the Verdurian Thematic Dictionary for more information. Yours and mine, (tshur) is fire (in Verdurian).

Here are the numbers for the new ranks, as close as I can guess them.

The New Ranks wrote:Shalea = 1499+ (Jhex - Dudicon)
Tshur = 572-1009 (Jonathana - Glenn)
Gent = 266-538 (Ccaccus - Rory)
Mey = 131-253 (Con quesa - Tuomas Koukkari)
Endi = 60-128 (Shm Jay - quentin)
Pur = 31-56 (Chloe - Mihel Miste)
Ur = 10-29 (Nosoyjaime - Daybreak)
-Nothing- = 0-9

more exact numbers shall emerge soon.

Hey, I already posted some in the None of the Above section

Oh well, here are mine again:

0-9: nothing
10-29: Ur
30-59: P?r
60-129: Endi
130-255: Mey
256-549?: Gent
550?-1399?: Tshur
1400? and higher: Shalea

A question mark means I am not exactly sure of the amount.

We both posted ours at 11:53. (the same time). What a fluke!

I thought we were going to add new ranks, not completely replace them.

Oh well, at least I don?t have to hop around on one leg any more.

Dudicon · Post by **Dudicon** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 11:50 am

Wow, that was surprising. I thought everybody had just decided to get new avatars all at the same time; I don't think I was really expecting a new system, even though I knew one was in the works. Nice job, Mark!

I liked to joke about Gdeons being one-legged; I pictured them walking on their hands and attacking with their one foot.

I like the new avatars, but I'll miss the Gdeon.

Lots of the new ranks have eyes or faces. Whose are they, Mark?
I like these new pictures.

Shinali Sishi · Post by **Shinali Sishi** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 1:25 pm

The new ranks are really cool!
Definitely an improvement over one-leggeds and parrots on sticks. These look like photographs and I like the elemental theme!

Where is the thing that was mentioned that says what they stand for?
All I found was a page wit the gods, very general catergories of spirits, and the demon of head colds.

Edit: Found it!

ur clay men practicality
p?r rock elcar? determination
mey water ili? benevolence
endi wood piz? or ic?lan? delicacy
gent metal gdeon? (giants) calm
tshur fire ktuvok? (demons) energy
shalea air vyozh? (spirits) intellectuality

So, Naked Celt, you still are an Iliu in a way!

They're beautiful.

I'm almost certain the face in tshur is that of a ktuvok, and the one in p?r is that of an elcar.

Which reminds me - do the elcari have an elemental theory?

Traditionally they talked about 36 elements. More important in their thinking, however, are the kunmegg-nquj, the Five Noble Substances: marble, quartz, gold, iron, and silver.

Do you happen to have the 36 elements enumerated?
