Q & A

[bruinfamer]

It's this thing called "member group" when you go to modify your profile. I am not sure if it is for admins or everyone.

[Odan Thos]

First off, each admin has his own member group, not just a regular account member. Each group has what we can and cannot access granted to it. So each of the admins have there own titles title related to this group. This is the top title such as: The Last Celestial or He who hides amoung the Shadows.

The titles of Darksider, Lightsider, and Nuetral is the standard member titles. These are base off your alignment and can be change by any admin if you ask.

The second part of the title, the part under the circles is called a custom title. This only able to be modified by Admins because it is under the Admin Function section of the modify profiles. If you note, each one of the poeple that you stated that had a custom title was is or was once an admin on this site. As these are not member groups, they can be custom for each member. They are so that within a member group, should the operator of a site wise it, could give sub ranks. Like Moderator then under it, give which board they are mod of.

Now. Sense you are a regular member (not an admin or Mod) your group while only be darksider, lightsider, or neutral. The custom title I am not sure if we give those out or not, that is something that Cain would answer. A PM would be the best way to get in contact to him about it. The reason being that if we give out one, we may need to do it for all member and that could get tiresome.

Alright thanks for the answers on my last Q but i come back with another.

Q: why is it in the current factions board it says, and i quote.
"Factions for the time being are only going to be run by admins."
does that mean that there are/were plans for non admin/mod factions? i was just wondering cuz didn't some one want to make a new faction but of course couldn't doe to that rule.

EDIT: had another Question.

Q2: why is it some members (seems my only examples are mods) have a lot of circles under there member group thing while others have less? Is this too because of there mod status?

I think for now, and probably for a while, the admins will run factions. This is because we don't want 100 different factions running around, where the people who run the factions can make the max 10,000 per week and give their friends promotions for doing nothing. However, if someone wants to make a faction, I will offer to run it. You will just have to send me a PM of what the faction is, all that junk, and I'll have a NPC run the show. I'll have to ask Cain about it though, can't confirm it yet.

As to your second question, yes, if you are a mod or admin, you do receive more of those circle things. I noticed that when I was given admin status.

You can It's perfectly legal to mod a person's profile with their custom title should they wish it. Or you can assign them a name of their own.

You are allowed to Make Factions if you want however the PAY would have to come from your wallet. The reason why it says Admins is because as Hock/Will said, we dont want fifty factions out there. Mik still holds a faction out there, it just changed it's name form the union to something else but it's still a faction, since he demoted however it is no longer paid from the site's "pocket".

So wait? You guys would put the personal titles under our names if we wanted? Or do you mean that it's possible but you probably won't do it? lol. Like what I'm talking about is for example yours Zil, Where it sais He who hides among shadows above the circles and Shadow of the Mitsukai below the circles. I don't know the circles go but I think only the mods should get the extra ones because then other than the blue lettering on their names theres another thing that they have that points out that "Hey I have more control here then you!" Lol. The extra circles to me seems like another sign of superiority and seniority on this site then us other members have. I'm completely fine with my average amount of Dark Side circles "Mwhaha" Lol.

[Zilfer Of Shadows...]

The top one is your member group. Me gall, and Hock all have a member group that has been enabled Admin abilities, or most of them. The one below is a Custom Title.

I've given out Custom titles in the past when people have asked for them, I can't do anything about the stars because it is writen into the code how many stars you get. Well I take that back there might be a way but the maximum amount of stars the admins have and yes it is a sign of being in power.

If you want a Custom title underneath your Little figures you can ask any of the admins, if they like you enough they might do it for you. Or if they liked you enough they might randomly give you a title as well. ;P

[Skyler CTDS]

Ahh I see lol. Thanks for clearing that up. I already figured the circles were signs of power because only the admins have a large amount of them. Hmm.. I must meditate on what I have learned here today lol. Crap I am bored.

Power as always resides in stats. [end of public service announcement.]

[E.A. Poe]

Level up question: How much experience does it take for one to level up, and how does one keep track of the feats and powers they have gained?
Force powers: Are force powers gained upon level ups as with feats, or are they learned in rp form?
Stats: I see that you've stated that all power lies in stats. Do stats determine absolutely everything, or does the actual skill of the rper affect the fight?

Good questions...

1) It takes 1,000 XP to level up. We keep track of the Feats and Powers in the List (http://ezekielrage.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rprules&action=display&thread=3843&page=1) For Powers, however, you don't have to tell anyone any powers you know.

2) Force Powers are earned through the RP. You have to go to other Force Users, basically other players, to learn Force Powers.

3) I say a little bit of both skill of the RPer and the power.

[E.A. Poe]

Got it. Thank you.

[E.A. Poe]

Sorry, I actually have a few more questions. Does every post count towards experience, and how many stat points does one gain with each level up?

[Ragasaurus-Rex]

I think you do get EXP for every post though its like three per post, and upon a level up you get tin more points...i"m almost sure about this lol if not someone will tell you whats right
