why not just drop the whole thing and allow for personal icons?
I mean the little titles seem kinda silly to me and while the swords look pretty cool Im not feeling the dumplings :P

a couple forums I know used personal icons that were displayed next to their names and would be used as the icons for topics when browsing the forum sections, I thought it was a pretty neat idea and some groups had their own little icons etc

gotta admit, i <3 the dumplings

as far as the 'racism' .... i've found that if a term seriously offends, regardless of its original intention, it should not be reused.words have very different meanings to different people, and respecting their differences is paramount to establishing a diverse community, so long as the person isnt just trolling.  Speaking of trolling Dogmeat, i'm suprised none of the mods have warned you for that last comment.  What was the purpose of that?

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

The thing with the own picture would require extra forumhacking as it's assigned by membergroups. So that option is more or less out of question.

I kinda would like something more abstract and perhaps regarding pixelling itself. Problem is that pixelling is so lowlevel there is not much of an hierarchy like in 3d for example.

Vertex
Line
Tri
Quad
Cube
Sphere
Torus
Teapot
Lopoly model
Hipoly model

DOing this for pixelart = near impossible imo.

heh, we already did this at the polycount boards  :P I'm a "card carrying polycounter"  :D

I think "spammer" is the top level.

how about colour depth? from highest colour depth for new members, to 1-bit for a post count over 5000? Showing that the more you reduce colours, the better you are? finally reaching the zen like status for ZERO bit, trancending all need for colours entirely?

Pixel
Line
Square
Circle
Tile
Character
Mockup
Scene
Beauty
Masterpiece

???

Actually, I like the ninja ranks. I don't know anything about the Gaijin rank, but could you just replace it with whatever's Japanese for "nobody" or "slave" or something?
I hate the Rice balls/dumplings/whatever the heck they are. I much prefered the stars.

Alright, I'm settled on the racism issue. It's being removed.

And, by the way, who was it that proposed Noubu, because I've been unable to confirm that this an actual word in Japanese. If you know better, cite your sources... for now it's being removed.

Here are the replacement ranks:

Gaikokujin > Arate (fresh troops, newcomer, new method)
Noubu > Kikori (Woodsman/Lumberjack)
Shonin > Yokujin (Hunter/Archer)

These titles better reflect and integrate with the militaristic stylization of the system.

I'll leave the onigiri graphic issue with ptoing, since there isn't a clear consensus on it.

how about peasant? (?? "noubu") certainly fits in with your feudal class system. and sounds kinda funny in english too!

lol can't even be bothered to read your own thread  ;)

my sources?  :crazy: I live in Japan

I like those new ones, fit in much more with the military theme  :y:
