[Atrocities]

I went from being a General to lowly rank of Colonel. What did I do wrong? Why was I demoted? Did I offend someone?

Not that it matters, I am just curious about the rank change as I have noted that there are others with fewer Posts at a higher rank than I and vis versa.

Richard can you shed some light on this?

Thanks

[Q]

What can I say, you lost only one rank. I lost three! Must have commited a really serious offence. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I think you can blame this whole demotion thing on me.

I used to be a "National Security Advisor", with 3000+ Posts, and now I'm down to a lowly General.

Since I the rank structure got blown away this weekend I had to put it back in. When I did I decided to have some fun with it. Plus someone has to keep SJ in line, that guy is a post monster http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif .<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Are there specific people who have General rank or above, but with fewer Posts than you?

And, like Q said, I went from Lt. Colonel down to 1st Lieutenant - a 3-rank demotion! I figured it was because I stopped posting for a few weeks because my job was taking too much time...

I have been cruising this site for awhile and I wasn't a registerd member for the longest time. Anyway I was just wondering how you got promoted in the first place. Is it through Posts or ratinfgs from other members? Are the Posts based on frequency per day/week/month or just a total. I just never asked because it didn't matter to me I just liked surfing this site. Any light shed on the subject would be nice.

Ranks are based on number of Posts.

Funny thing is that I am a Corporal here, a real life Staff Sergeant in the USMC, and in less than a week, a 2nd Lieutenant in the USMC...

Richard:

Is the rank/# of Posts ratio declassified for public consumption?

Derek - Yeah I know how you feel! Here I'm a Private, I haven't ben a Private since 90'. Currently I am a Marine Captain in the Infantry. When do you head off to TBS?

[Derek]

Good question. Answer: Whenever the Corps tells me. Longer answer: we haven't gotten orders for TBS yet, but are expecting them this week. Regardless, I get commissioned on Monday.

Went to Boot Camp in '89 myself. Looking forward to being one of the oldest 2nd Lt's around

Woah, I wonder what my rank is...

[Tenryu]

Well, I went from a Sergeant to a Corporal and I'm glad. I was getting worried that if I posted too much more I'd get demoted to shave-tail.

Phew! Guess I don't have to worry about that for a bit.

I think that some people are post mad here so the ranking structure was streached.

[Skulky]

So can we all assume that no light will be shed on this topic?
