Open Discussion: Forum User Titles

[Clementine]

Update #2: This has been turned into an open discussion thread, rather than a standard announcement post. Please feel free to continue to discuss the forum title changes, however please keep it constructive and on-topic.

Update#1: We understand that a number of you are dissatisfied with the new titles. While we will not be changing the new titles at this moment, we would love to hear suggestions from each of you about additional titles we could switch out or add in at a later date. They should be similar in nature to what we currently have, bonus points for alliteration! Throw your best ideas at us!

We are excited to announce that in an effort to bring a bit more fun to the forums we have implemented a new set of Forum User Titles that you will receive as you continue to post and engage on the forums.

A little about the titles and how they were chosen. Forums are all about talking, sometimes talking a little, sometimes talking a lot. Therefore for the first part of the titles, we chose various different words that mean "Talkative". For the second part of the titles, we looked at all the different games we have and the types of NPCs/Characters in each game, and drew from there. Remember, the forums (and titles) cover all of our different games, so it was important that we pulled from all genres/games, so that everything was included. At the most basic level each user title is a different way of saying "Someone Who Talks (Posts)".

Number of Posts	User Title
10	Mute Minion
25	Talkative Troll
50	Gabby Gremlin
100	Motormouth Maven
250	Articulate Aficionado
500	Chatty Consigliere
1000	Babbling Boss
2500	Gibbering General
5000	Verbose Virtuoso
10000	Loquacious Legend

Please note that while we encourage you to post frequently, please do not spam the forums with unnecessary posts simply to increase your post count.

Aha! Thank you for the info Clementine!

My thread is now old news...

Edit: I shall expunge it from the database.

Wow, this is beyond belief. Get rid of it immediately.

Talkative troll, hows about everyone in gree hq wears a shirt

I'm ignoring you
I'm doing the opposite of what is good taste
I'm doing the opposite of what the community wants
I'm laughing all the way to the bank
Talk to the hand

When we came up with these we actually drew from all the different games GREE has and the different characters in each game. This includes characters from Fantasy games (trolls, gremlins, minions, etc.), War games (general), and High Crime games (boss, consigliere). We paired these with various words that mean "talkative" because that is what we are all doing here on the forums, talking and engaging with one another. These titles are not intended as insults, but rather a fun way of showing just how active you are in the community.

I remember when we had to kill Seal Team 6 in an LTQ. It is a top factions handle but I can tell you anyone who thought that was a bright idea hadn't really thought it through.

I do get it, however not everyone will and even in getting it I still don't think you call your members trolls. I think it is hilarious but its poor taste.

Come up with better ones and think it through

Get a grip! We call each other trolls all the time. We can't be hypocrites...

Besides, I'm pretty sure it wasn't intended to be used in the sense that you are thinking of it anyway.
It is a fantasy character reference...

Sandhawk, this is exactly what we were thinking of! We tried to find a way to get Zombie in there, but couldn't think of a word that means "talkative" that started with the letter Z. Still searching though. Might spend my entire life looking for that word.

Thank you for sharing your opinion and how you feel regarding these titles, I always appreciate feedback. We put a great deal of thought into these and at this time, the titles will remain as they are. They may change in the future as we think of new ones, so nothing is set in stone.

I don't care where the heck you get these cruddy piles of crap you call titles. Not everyone here gives a crap about those other games you got the titles from so we find them to be offensive when given to us since there is no connection between the player and that game. Make them specific to each games forum, or better yet, get rid of the dumb things and forget you ever came up with them. Just my 2 cents on your crappy idea.

Just for you mods, I didn't swear or use ** for bad words so excuse my repetition of "crap".

A reason for why I made this post. When people are referred to by names that in a situation like this take on a negative connotation, there is reason for them to be upset with their new title. I see how they were meant to be in good humor, but when people don't understand the reference, it is reasonable for them to question why these titles were implemented.

That is unfortunately the nature of the best when you have a forum that is home to multiple games. There are multiple types of players and users that you must think of. Some will love all the titles, some may hate them all, and some may only like half of them.

Keep in mind that many players, including myself, do play more than one game and talk in more than one forum.

I feel sorry for you and the suffering this must bring you, one glitched game is plenty for me.

Also, please read what I have added to my post since you quoted it to get a better understanding of my point.

Instead of worrying about silly titles to give players who post a lot,why not concentrate on ideas players give like less energy too defeat ltq & prestige,better bonuses,or upgrading defense buildings too new unit stats,or increasing levels too 350 or how too sell old valor & cash units & use it too buy better ones,instead of having a bunch of crap soldiers with 1 attack in inventory,would make the majority of players happy,or what about a gold producing building,even if it didn't produce a ton of gold

[aephlux]

I like it, but i think you guys could have come up with better title names.

I completely understand. Do you think we should announce it in all of the different subforums rather than just the main one?
