A long time ago, in a forum far away ...

 

The Custom Rank War!

 

After working his way through the SWRebellion galaxy of threads, our young hero joined the mysterious Reloaded team in battling for a new and fun Rebellion game. During the growing struggle, he also made treks forth with a galaxy of pretty pictures and other crap.

 

Now is his greatest challenge yet, his 2000th post is on the way and there is no Custom Rank in site!

Join in the galactic war for a custom rank for ... well, me

 

 

 

So, for those who don't know - when a member reaches the 2000 post milestone they get the honour of a custom rank and rank insignia.

And like so many before me, I've got no clue as to what mine shall be. So I'm asking you guys for your help - suggest away!

*continues his campaign to spam away to his 2000th post to achieve the custom rank of Caped Crusader!*

How about Kamino Modeler?

Hm, what about "chief creative"?!

How about 'Jedi Master?' That or another Jedi Knight!

I believe Jahled may be on to something!

 

 

What sort of rank would you want? A military one? Rebel, Imperial, or something else? There are so many, maybe you could narrow down your preferences...

Well you could be a Grand Moff like me Krytos. - Grand Moff Conway

You are the only Grand Moff around here fella

Hmm, I'm definetely a Rebel/New Republic bloke (sorry GMC ) - more so New Republic.

 

Also, I wouldn't mind it including something to do with my 3d modelling - but then again, it's not a necessity.

 

Go wild with your suggestions!

(Where's Tofu when you want him!)

Tofu seems to have decided to not return, and even disappeared on Facebook...

 

 

Well, I'm not particular creative, but it would be cool to see a New Republic insignia. You know the coloured dots kind.

I´ve just recognised that he even isn´t in my contacts-list on youtube anymore.

 

I´ll try to do some investigations about that. If it´s really true, that he left the forum I will open a separate thread for that to talk about it.

Im pretty sure he left. For him to remove a bunch of us as his Facebook friends he must be mighty upset. Ive tried contacting him on there and got no reply. I might try an e-mail too, just to see whats up.

Okay, guys, this is Krytos thread for his custom rank. I hate to be the evil moderator, but lets steer this back on topic. The matter concerning Tofu is being taken care of and I, as well as the involved parties, would appreciate that no public discussion be made of it. That ends it for now.

 

Anyway, back to Krytos custom rank...

 

You could always be a Jedi and a military officer.

R & D designs specialist?

 

icon could be a pen and stylized star?

Yeah, I'm thinking a Rebel Dot-Rank thing.

 

If you went for Jedi Knight you could have the lightsaber turned the opposite way J's is?

 

(Man I wish I didn't have to make up for those 500 posts I lost to the crash.)

R & D designs specialist

Now that is a cool idea.

All this talk of computer know-how, R&D, and such reminds me of something. There is a character in the Thrawn trilogy and then in the Hand of Thrawn duology named Ghent who originally worked for smuggler Talon Karrde and then went on to work for the New Republic. His title was Chief of Cryptography, basically making him the chief slicer/hacker in the New Republic. Somehow I think that might fit you, Krytos...

Lesser God was my backup rank, though I don't know that it fits you entirely, Krytos. Feel free to use it, though.

 

Among others: Sword of the Jedi

Amberblade/ Amber Blade

Head of R&D

Highly Infectious Virus

Any other virus or disease you feel like including, IE The Flu, Common Cold, etc. (Probably something a bit flashier than "Common Cold," but you get the drift)

 

Also (Though it has nothing to do with anything about you)

Rogue Leader

Red Leader

 

Sorry about that little hiatus, folks... It was... well, if you really want to know just PM me. Otherwise I'd prefer not to talk about it...

If I may, allow me a moment to give a "Boring Explanation And Korrection"...after all, it is my job.

 

 

There is a difference between a rank and a title. For instance, being someone like "Rogue Leader" is a title. Look at Wedge Antilles. As Rogue Leader, he was the rank of Major (Squadron Leader), Commander (Lieutenant Colonel/Wing Commander), Captain (Colonel/Group Captain), and some form of General. He was still Rogue Leader, which was both his call-sign and title. A rank is what level of posting one holds within the military hierarchy. I just thought I'd clear this up that way you don't think you have to restrict yourself to the ultra-high ranks. For instance, originally, I was just going to use "Fleet Admiral" for mine...that is, until I found out about the existence of the rank "Supreme Moff" and thought that would be cool since no one has ever used it. I mean, even if you wanted to be a "Lieutenant", you'd still be a higher rank than the fellows who have received the automatic ranks of Commodore and Lieutenant Colonel, etc. But it's up to you.

Personally I prefer something along the lines of "Dorkus Malorkus" ok.. old humor...

Now that is a cool idea.

 

I'm liking it too

Cool as it is, I'm not so sure if I'm the hacker type ... or am I

Haha, I could have seen you with that "rank" too

 

Among others from Tofu: Sword of the Jedi - I like, but I think Jaina wouldn't like me stealing her rank

Amberblade/ Amber Blade Ah, my amber love affair

Head of R&D Ooooh, Me like

Highly Infectious Virus

Any other virus or disease you feel like including, IE The Flu, Common Cold, etc. (Probably something a bit flashier than "Common Cold," but you get the drift) I rather like those too!

If only I could change my "rank" with the seasons

 

Also (Though it has nothing to do with anything about you)

Rogue Leader

Red Leader

Hmm, maybe I'd have gone with these a few years ago ... but they don't have the right "feel" now

 

Alrighty, so the R&D approach seems to be the most fitting so far

So now it's just what to have as my rank emblem

I'm thiking of sticking with a Rebel/New Republic rank image so far

The New Republic emblem?

 

Allow me to suggest some military "dots" insignia. I suggest looking at this page for inspiration. Or you could always do the 9-dot general approach. I think it would be cool to see some Rebel dots about the place, especially something like 9 dots, which would probably rank as a Rebel/Republic equivalent of a Grand Admiral.

I have an idea for your insigna Kryt. Just give me a little time and I'll post it.

Krytos, you can trust Mad will find something much more unique and creative than what I suggested.

I eagerly await

I might post up some rank designs in a little while.
