Ursus Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Uh ... far be it from me to suggest that Christians and Agnostics should attach pagan deities to their persona. What I was suggesting though was simply using civilian ranks of historical origin for the hierarchy rather than the current military grades. For instance: Someone who just signed up .... citizen without the vote Someone who has been here long enough to warrant using the blog features and such ... citizen with the vote Then as we move up the hierarchy we can start using things like decurion, equestrian, senator, princeps senatus , triumvir, etc. Maybe the class could be handed out by the admins on a combination of quality and quantity as opposed to mere quantity. Something to replace the old reputation point system. Just a thought. If it proves too unworkable, never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 We will stay around for a looong time,so once we have used all military ranks we could use roman gods for the top posters... (i would need then a list from ursus with a ranking of the top ten/twenty list of roman gods) (you can pm me for that if you like) LOL How many posts would you need to become "Jupiter Optimus Maximus" then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viggen Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 We changed the Usergroups to a more roman style! The Usergroup Admin is now Triumvirate (hey we are three admins, so it fits! The Usergroup Moderator is now Praefectus Regular Members are now Usergroup Plebeians Previous Members Group "Citizens" (which gives you the ability to have your own blog on UNRV, and full access to the Gallery) is now "Equestrians" We also created a completely new Usergroup for previous "Equestrians" that contributed with articles and/or book reviews, called "Patricians" (Every month we give one roman history related book to the "Patricians" as a on going thank you for the outstanding contribution those membes have made towards UNRV.com" Those Usergroups are not related to post count, and are elected by merit only from Admins!!! oh, and the banned members are now "Damnatio" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favonius Cornelius Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ah very cool! I mean, what is a title but vanity, but it makes things fun nonetheless. :2guns: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sextus Roscius Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I like it alot better, and as a plebian, I can become a (what ever that office was. tribune I think?) instead of just being a plain old member. But I guess underneath the vanity, Its still the same lol. Oh yes, I see Viggen has taken advantage of the recent change and made him self "Imperator" All Hail! (or else I suppose but anyways) All hail! But what ever, I'm still having fun! :sniper: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobias Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Just out of curiosity, and not wanting any names mentioned, have any other people been given the "Damnatio" status apart from Spartacus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursus Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 There have been several banned members. I believe the most recent was Imperator Marzellus, the majority of whose posts I have deleted from record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ah ok, i guess that's why one doesn't see who is banned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favonius Cornelius Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 It would seem we have a new usergroup: Slaves. What does it take to be placed in that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primus Pilus Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 That was Viggen playing around. He made all Plebeians 'slaves' until they have 10 posts. Unfortunately, it reverted everyone, even if they already have the required post count. It's our theory that as soon as any of the former plebes make another post they will be immediately freed from their temporary servitude.

Favonius Cornelius Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Looking at that nifty spread of centurion types, you guys could possibly have quite a few more steps before going to the high ranks (ie Hastatus Prior Hastatus Posterior et cetera). Also 'Princepales' seems to be the name for a group of officers and not a specific one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
