No man theres no way you can see it because its so hard to be a mythic. You have to like not post on an alt for a year.

Oh wait nvm you have to be a superior human being, amidoinitrite?


Lol.
I can't find it, otherwise I would post it, but I lol'd at how superior they act in that group.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

If you want a quality threesome, save up a couple hundred bucks and get it from experienced Asian prostitutes.

I've seen one of them, and lol @ you guys.
You think you run Bnet.

You think you're superior in every way above other members on this site, I remember seeing the thread.

You can deny it all you want, if I could find it, I would gladly post it here.

These are extreme accusations and also very general ones. I for one do not think mythix run Bnet and there is no thread saying so.

I wouldn't mind more titles. I don't get why anyone would be against them really. They're just for fun.

Also... I'm not understanding why the first post has been collapsed?


I agree, it wouldn't be a terribly bad thing if there were more titles. I see people constantly go on about how titles aren't that big-a-deal, and yet there are 7 pages of posts from people who very clearly think it is (and im betting a lot of those people have said at one point that titles don't mean anything).

I think titles are cool...and maybe a few extras would seem appropriate now, or in the near future. That's all.

Sorry mate, but I've gotta go with topgun on this one. There are no threads in that group about how the Mythic Members 'run' Bnet. And that's definitely not the attitude in there. Everyone in that group is just a nerd anyways.

Hello, fellow Elitists.

We share a special bond, united by our knowledge that we, as a group, are better than others. We come here to bathe in a sense of self-satisfaction that only being an Elitist - capitalisation is important, I think, when referring to a group so lofty (haughty?) as ours - and being in the company of Elitists can confer. But I think we can improve; I think we can do more.

I'd like to start this post by outlining what we do well:
1. Trolling. Many, if not most, if not all, of us have received short bans - spanks, if you will - for trolling the dull-witted masses. These actions reinforce our dominance and superiority, and are especially profound when coupled with;
2. Forum copping. One minute we're demonstrating our knowledge of the boards while simultaneously showing up inexperienced members, the next we're subtly trolling. Keeping the dim herd on its toes.
3. Superior sneering - supeneering - in public. Yes, brothers, elitism must be practiced outside the realm of Bungie.net for it to truly be distilled when required.
4. Making Long Posts About the State of the Community (or similar). We have a few seasoned veterans of this hobby among us, and its one that takes quite a bit of effort - at least for the first one, then you can really just copy and paste every few months. As long as you're a Mythic Member, these will always get 100+ posts. This brings me on to my last point;
5. Posting in the Septagon. If we didn't, no-one would. We know the simple-minded lower classes only post to see our shiny bars and the occasional moderator.

These are all excellent contributions to our elitist and self-satisfied demeanour; I believe, however, that we should not rest on our laurels. I have tried it, and they are not comfortable. We need to push further, we need to alienate more members more of the time.

As a second point, I feel our status is being usurped by... newcomers. Members of the lower orders who have attained Mythic status while being quite devoid of any reasonable character normally associated with it! As time goes on, more and more members will reach their grasping hands into our ranks, polluting our once-chaste atmosphere with their txt spk and... nouveau mythe.

I propose an elegant solution to both problems - discrimination by an extra factor! As an old English commoner's poem goes, 'Once is for c***s, twice is nice, but thricer is nicer... er!'. Why discriminate on one condition when you can choose two, or three?

At risk as I am of overreaching in my tenacity, I suggest one criteria to start. Not join date - for there can be ties, and none are truly equal!

Member IDs.

Hover your cursor over a member's name in a thread and look at the URL to see their memberID. I propose a heirarchy whereby expansion of value is linked to decrease in favour among us. So myself (~14k) and elmicker (~25k) may get along, and we may even invite Skibur (~49k) to parties (provided he brought a wine of acceptable caliber). The three of us might bear to be seen with Primo84 at ~500k, but all four of us would only expect king nikki, at ~2M, to come near us if our shoes needed a spit-polish.

Of course, Mythics are Mythics, and should be allowed here. But some friendly banter, keeping the newer additions in their place can't hurt, can it? Or at least, it can't hurt the people that matter. Like me and you. But not you or you.

Get away from me.

I've never posted anything about Mythic members before this thread, and that post is older then this thread......

I'm going now, so I probably wont see many more replies.

“To say more would spoil be it’s overall its a game that needs to be played.” - Aristotle

You know what, this thread is more offensive to me in the fact that I'm included in the group of prestigious users than that it excludes certain users from what the OP proposes is a more prestigious category. I don't want to be grouped in with the madness here.

Alright, it's time for me to flex the mental muscle like I've not had a chance to do in months.


Let's all break it down. Skibur thinks that there should be a higher title because the oldest of the old users are raised "sooooo high" (note the air-quotes there) on the prestige level that they require something more prestigious to appease them. What appears to be the majority is opposing this because they believe there need not be any further titles (because it would provoke elitism, it's unnecessary, etc.) or because they believe that the number of Mythic Members can be altered with time; possibly decreased.

Unfortunately, if this is the case, eventually all but the bare minimum (and oldest) of users will ever receive the title. As more users flood the site, the percentage gap between the general population and the Mythic Members will grow to such a degree that, to maintain the relative same number of Mythic Members, the requirements to receive such a title must be made much more difficult to attain (and thus make only the oldest of users eligible). The opposite end to this spectrum, although still a possible solution, would have the percentage of Mythics remaining standard, but the overall number of Mythics site-wide skyrocketing as more users join.

I see where Skibur is coming from. He either wants a title that allows the prestigious old farts their "due respect" while actually still allowing the Old Skool their rightful dues as the "new Mythics", so-to-speak, or he wants a new title that all of the Old Skool can get relegated to that preserves the elite Mythic title. I don't have any problem accepting a vast increase in the number of Mythics, however, and I don't think that most other users have an issue with that either, which is where the opinions begin to differ. Rather than accepting a large number of new fellows, Skibur wants a title that will differentiate himself (which is true, if not his intention (although I'm not saying it's not)) and his fellow older users further whilst still allowing the older users their bit of prestige. He wants adult swim on 24/7 for the current Mythics, with a smaller pool off to the side for the rest of the userbase. That is why I don't like this idea.

It's not about an adult swim, or at least it shouldn't be, and if it is I fully disapprove. What it should be about, as I believe TU said earlier in this thread, is a great new group of users gaining the degree of trust to be put in with the current Mythics. The Mythic title is just to show that a user has been here for some time, usually knows the ropes well, and has a great degree of Trust; it's not about prestige, some laughable caste system, or ranking of any sort. We don't need a new title to differentiate those who earned the title earlier further, we need to embrace that new users can get to where the Mythics of today have already gotten.

We don't need to be changing Titles everyday, the sites not about that. It doesn't matter if people can get Mythic in two years. Is the Title system supposed to be long, or is that just what you want it to be?
