Warfare and computing
By Borisp, 14 years ago, In English
I would like to say I dislike the titles that are currently given in the system. According to them I am "Lieutenant colonel", which, apart from being very hard to spell, implies I should be in charge of many people.

However, I am pacifist, and especially in this troubled times I feel even worse about the title. I somehow feel I have guilt just because of the fact of being in an army (though imaginary).

How do you feel about changing the titles assigned in the system?  I have thought about it and so far the best thing I could come up with is choosing titles from the computer game favorite of us all: "Heroes of might and magic 3" :P. We have plenty of mythological characters in the game and I am totally sure the creatures themselves are not copyrighted in any way. For example I would love to be Champion :P

Also if we go to this manner of giving titles, we will have at our disposal over a hundred titles! How cool is that?

I wonder when tourist will become Titan...

I don't agree with you about military titles, but over a hundred (!!!) titles from my favorite game is amazing - )

Just remember that no title system will please everyone. For example, I don't like the game you mentioned, though I'm probably in a minority here.

May be it's good to give us a choice, which system of ranks to use? I'd like to be an ArchMage)

That's a really nice idea. I would love it if we have such a ranking system.

I want to express my disagreement with changing the titles. In fact, every man would like to be powerful from psychology. In the real life nothing is more powerful than military forces. In my opinion, we must be proud that our titles are from an imaginary army. It should not distract pacifists, because it makes no harm at all. You announced that it would be fun to have titles from your favorite game. But is not that your game titles are based on military titles which is for making to feel powerful? In addition, I am not keen on games and for me "the captain" sounds much more better than let's say "the serious cat" or "the red bishop". However, the others had an argument that it is better just because it haves more titles. But we could extend our titles. There are more military titles. So that is my opinion. Thank you for reading this :)
