Le Captein wouldn't tell me what he left on that UFO, i know what i left, my rifle, but i'm still in deep thought about why the UFO exploded...

Ok, i went to the title thread and see that the forum ninja title can be attained, but i realise you have to be a contributing member for some time, and then i think; "wow, maybe i can become one day." thinking its a given that i will get it, seeing that it says it is available to the public.

And then i see all the mythic members that have been around for years, and notice that they haven't been promoted to forum ninja, i then realised, wait, it is available, but it highly improbable that even 1 out of the thousands of users will get it yearly.

The description for this title should simply be, "lololol, those who have this are better than you, and you will never get it."

Thanks for getting my hopes up.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

Look at telec, pretending he doesn't know how hot your mum is. They're intimately acquainted.

Why would you want to be a Ninja? Very few make it a week and still keep their sanity.

True, but i see myself as a person who would probably hate all the messages, and the noobs sucking up, the only reason i want the title, is so i can try and keep the flood forum in check, god how i hate that forum.

Just try to be helpful to the Community and you might get chosen for the test, although it is not an easy one.

Few have survived the noodle, and many have been left chained to a desk in Bungie's closet. I hear Foman submitted to the noodle, but actually pretended to BE the noodle and escaped.

All hail Foman.

Actually, recon number 54, bobcast and foman are my favourite ninjas.

Do you think? In another thread he was complaining about not being able to make groups. If he had an alt he'd just make one using the other account.

But, the human mind is a mystery.

Now try how and why."

The biggest mistake I see new users make when entering a community is to always look at it as a hierarchy that they must climb. It doesn't work that way. Hell, I had more then a bit of the sentiment when I was new.

The point of the community isn't to win all of the points or climb all of the ranks, it's to find engaging and enjoyable discussion. If you learn to do that, people will stop caring about what your hat looks like.

There are some genuinely fun and witty people on the forums. Focus on getting familiar with them. You'll find it far more rewarding than trying to achieve some unfounded goal.

Id est, enjoy yourself and let the rest take care of itself.

That's my reason for thinking that he is an alt. Maybe his old account is infamous for something and he doesn't want his group associated with it. Idk.

It would be hard for me to say "nuh uh," because I'm aware that there are people who actually care about rank. However, I've found that even after I got the hat that I currently wear, people still only respond to my more substantial comments, and even then I'm largely ignored.

This isn't a failing of the system, so it doesn't take away my enjoyment of the discussions here. No, it's because for every post I make, several users far smarter and more distinct then me are also posting. As such, trying to win the internetz is pointless. I tend to see myself a fairly obscure and unknown poster, but even if I wasn't it would matter. It isn't a popularity contest in here, so just focus on good posting.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

If someone is inclined and determined to equate titles to a ranking system, I can't stop them, I can only shake my head in confusion.

But if someone decides that certain titles work out to enlisted ranks, some officer ranks, and title modifiers are like theater badges or medals.... fine.

If you want to follow the parallel, then the Ninja are SOCOM. Volunteers, special tactics, small unit, but still serving. Ranks within that team are less important (since they tend to focus on mission outcomes) but they are still part of the overall armed forces.

Does that help ease your concerns? Or make them worse?
