Rep. tracking and Rep. Titles

[Hafeal]

A guildy of mine was Consecrated, and very close to being a Champion of Stormreach, before he got banned a few years ago. I don't want to mention his name publicly for fear of being banned too.

Yes, there are a few of those - I just have to remember their names. Thousands upon thousands of posts over the years, and things do get muddled. I update the list as I remember more. I am not trying to offend anyone - this is more for my own nostalgic reminiscing than anything, which I think some others might share.

Where is MrCow gone to? I miss him terribly! Anyone have *any* information whatsoever on him?

Asking nicely, sincerely, politely it would be greatly appreciated!

(I always thought he started working for Turbine so! Lolz! Haha! :P! ! !)

Sirgog popped in recently on the forums to say hello. He has been playing Eve instead.

It's nice to see some of the older names at least to pop back in from time to time. I still use his compiled list for epic seal and shard drops.

MrCow was indeed famous, especially with his youtube solo runs like Diaries of a TR (Melee), Diaries of a TR (Druid), Diaries of a TR (Sorcerer), and while a lot has changed they are still helpful treasures.

Sadly a lot of good players are gone, like Junts or even Shade with his sometimes controversial position regarding Barbarians

It is by the way not always the helpful answers that give reputation. If I remember it correctly Memnir once said of himself that most of his reputation cummulated from posting funny pictures :P

Still here but only just gave up on rep when neg rep when bye bye


Oh yah one of the Honored

Yeah humor definitely gets the most rep. While I do give rep for informative posts, I admit I am also guilty of giving rep if a post gives me a good laugh. Cultivating a positive and fun environment on the forums is worth just as much as being informative imo. Memnir certainly did that in spades.

The #1 way to get rep is to post something extremely useful (back when I was active, my highest rep threads were either guides or very detailed suggestions for the game like the old 'epic item review' threads).

#2 is funny posts, including trolling posts.

A distant #3 is high volume useful posts (e.g. answering questions).

true--my flaming sphere scroll thread got me lots of rep, whereas my sense of humor misses the mark.
Too few people do stealth so my guides there go relatively unnoticed (sniff)

Or you are just that good on stealth.

hah good one!

There also seems to be more than the simple correlation between rep and titles as listed in the quote form the much older thread about this previously suggests, as I do have positive rep atm, but am still "the Neutral" (previous post mentioned Neutral is for 0 and less). Perhaps because I did have some posts in a recently locked/deleted thread (even though I do not think I posted anything infraction worthy, but I could be wrong). *shrugs* I could have sworn I was "the Noted" prior to that as well. Oh well. I'm still ecstatic to have that list now!

[FlaviusMaximus]

the Neutral
the Noted
the Reliable
the Trustworthy
the Commended
the Renowned
the Honored
the Hero of the People
the Consecrated
the Champion of Stormreach
The Epic
The Legendary
Completionist

I would like to suggest some alternative forum titles:

The Longwinded
The Argumentative
Quantity over Quality
Not This Guy Again
Might Be a Spambot
Charlatan
and of course
Master Debater

LOL! I'll second this. I definitely ascribe some of these titles to certain posters already.

Man, there were a lot of names on that little list that I remember, and many that I (somewhat oddly) miss.

[RTN]

Had Kargon been active while rep was at its peak, I suspect his rep would be very high. Sanadil got a lot of rep for his great planner, but hasn't been active in years.

[Memnir]

cool. how much is needed for each?

Legendary kicked in at 50k.
I think it was double Rep to nudge that up from Epic. I imagine Compleationist is either 75k or 100k.

Hope that clarifies some of the benchmarks.

If I remember it correctly Memnir once said of himself that most of his reputation cummulated from posting funny pictures :P

Most? No. It consists of about half. The rest came from posting advice, trying to be helpful to new players, suggestions, or feedback/observations on the game. A lot of it came from when I suggested that Turbine change the Teleport/Greater Teleport icons and not use recycled ones for half the lists - and when I pointed out that the just-added Airship towers were all copy/paste versions of the one in the Marketplace and hoped aloud that the art department could do better in making them fit in better with the atheistic of the individual Houses.


The best way to get Rep here is just to be a positive, genuine, and contributing person here. Sure, I got a lot from being funny - but humor is an asset in any community. I think I got a lot of Rep because people knew my humor came from the heart - it was always genuine. But, that's not the only way I got Rep by a long shot. If it was, I would not have garnered 50k+.

Hope that also helps clarify.

Kargon... That's a name I haven't heard in a looooooong time. Was a hilarious forum personality.

I too miss neg rep. Was a good source of feedback when you made a bad post (I got a few deserved ones) and it was a good way to warn the community about people who were intentionally giving newbies bad advice for laughs. Cough cough, the 6 Con, 16 Dex, no Toughness feat "Team Sorcerer" build that was posted back in the days of the 20 cap (back when HP were *everything* for defense).

Hehheh. I thought I felt my ears getting a bit toasty.

Yeah I got a few dings I deserved any many more I didn't but it was a good indicator though if you were pushing things to far.

Noted: MysticTheurge (19,367 posts)

I think he quit before rep was implemented, or not long after. His extensive and helpful posts would have netted much more rep otherwise.
