If I'm not a 'Sole Defender', and I've written around 600 posts, that must make me the biggest swinging-dick in the officer's mess!

Convince Johan to let you moderate one of the forums in exchange for a third 'Sole Defender' title.
Matthew, I express my condolences...
Dont't worry. It seems we've reached the end of the job ladder for normal mortals!

Isn't the idea of a third 'sole defender' stretching the stupidity a bit far? Besides, I can't imagine myself 'moderating' anything, I'm not a moderate guy (ughh bad pun). I could moderate the 'Specific Scenarios' folder. That would be a piece of piss because no-one goes there!
Anyway, off now to marshall some fields (come boy!, fetch!, heel!, lie down!, roll over!).

I'm waiting for the 'immortals' expansion set with extra levels - arrgh sad D&D gag, what a give-away (I only did it once, back at university, and I didn't inhale, I'm not really a geek, honest).

Yes, that was the point of my post. I suppose I should have added a 'winking smily'.
Heheh, yeah, it is a bit silly. I think that the word 'sole' in that title should be changed to 'most holy' or similar.
But for that minor inconsistency, this new ranking system gets General Doomdark's seal of approval.

Since their title is similar to that of head of the Catholic church, maybe we should have a 'Pope' and an 'Anti-Pope'Originally posted by Doomdark:

Me & Greven maybe two physical entities, but we are one in all other ways. Hence the title of 'sole'

Yeah its like the Mystery of the Trinity. However at this occasion we can say duality.

OK, mystery of the trinity. Yeh.
Since the Ottomans shook Europe to its foundations during the game's timeframe, how about Jason allowing one of you two to assume the mantle given to Suleyman the Magnificent by his own people: 'Propagator of the Sultanic Laws'.
You could change that to be 'Propagator of Paradoxical Laws', or 'Magnificent Propagator of Paradoxical Laws', or just 'The Magnificent Propagator of Laws'
Quote from a site I found: 'Suleyman: The Europeans called him 'The Magnificent,' but the Ottomans called him Kanuni, or 'The Lawgiver.' The Suleymanie Mosque, built for Suleyman, describes Suleyman in its inscription as Nashiru kawanin al-Sultaniyye , or 'Propagator of the Sultanic Laws.'
How about it??? Then we wouldn't have to try to figure out the mystery of the relationship between you two.

Please don't. I understood your point, I was just attempting (and failing) to support it. Too many smilies is sometimes like adding a 'laughter track' to a sitcom, best left off I think. Or does everyone here walk round with a permanent grin from caffeen overdose?
Just had a brainwave...
Could an option be added to the web site so that everyone registering can choose if they want to be army or navy, with the corresponding ranks. It could be fun, and promote healthy rivalry.
I don't know about you, but I'd rather be a Lord Admiral than a Field Marshall.
P.S. The number of generals is frightening - loads of Lt-colonels maybe true to EUs period, but not generals. Only in Sweden could such a system be invented - a land where captains are equivalent to lieutenants elsewhere, and every corporal wears more gold braid than the generalismo of a banana republic. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians

There is no mystery, we are one and the same in Allah's eyes. Hopefully?

wtf is Jason???

Hmm, I think Greven should be the one who takes on the title of one of the most powerful of middle eastern leaders. 'Propagator of the Sultanic Laws.' , or 'Greven the Magnificent' sounds good. The only reason I'd choose these titles for Greven, is because he's Mr Big Shot, when it comes to information on the middle east

If you only knew

pfft, I bet you'd sell your virginity for the title of Sole Defender..

Bloody oath, you only really need around 300 posts to get up to 'top swanky mortal rank' of Field Marshal.. is it just me or is there something wrong here? You already have more than double the posts, and yet you remain how you are, a lowly earth worm.. oh you poor soul, how I love the!

And if it's based on the number of ligns posted, then I think Matthew really deserves its title of 'Grand Admiral of the Navy, Supreme Commander of the Seven Seas and Ruler of the Waves'
