New Ranking Ideas?

Author
Time
Anyone have any ideas for new rankings between 'I'm ready for the Trails' and "Jedi Knight"? The gap just seems to big. I feel like I've been taking the trails for sometime. Obi wan and the council don't trust me. They're holding me back.

You let your emotions control your actions, young one. You are not ready.

This from the Council Elder.

Actually, I have wondered about new rankings and maybe Jay can enlighten us as to whether or not we could redo them somewhat.

Jay?

Hell, I need to come up with something new for me to strive for. Maybe a 20K "Jedi Lunatic" ranking? Or a 20K "Get a Life Already" ranking?

Bossk, what rank do you get after "Jedi Spirit"?
"A Jedi can feel the force flow through him".

Jedi Spirit is the end of the road here at OT.com. When the site first started, Jedi Council was the highest ranking and only required something like 1,000 posts to achieve. When Jay saw how a bunch of us were just tearing through the rankings, he changed the post levels. Then we suggested Jedi Spirit and he agreed and added it. But there is nothing up above it. I should come up with something.

100K?!?!?! Yikes. Don't even want to think about that one. I was thinking more along the lines of 20-25K.

No idea for a name though.

The only thing I could think of would be KotOR style rankings. You could have Jedi Guardian, followed by Jedi Sentinel, Jedi Counsular, Jedi Weaponsmaster, Jedi Watchman, with Jedi Knight, and Jedi Master following. After Council, we could have a whole "fall to the darkside" with Dark Path Follower, Jedi Heretic, Dark Jedi, Sith Apprentice, Dark Lord, Redeemed to the Light, Jedi Spirit. Thoughts?

I like the basic idea Klingon gave. Not sure on the titles cause i thought guardians, sentinals, counslers, etc were different 'classes' of Jedi, sort of a different focus not something you progressed through. but the rise as a jedi, turn to the darkside, redemption and ultimatly to a spirit idea i like.

also, as far as the Jedi go (moviewise), i thought that the trials were to become a master, not to go from Padawan to Knight. but then when do you go from Padawan to Knight if thats the case...im confused

Why Anakin really turned to the dark side:
"Anakin, You're father I am" - Yoda
"No. No. That's not true! That's impossible!" - Anakin

True, they are classes, but I think you can maybe think of it as a Knight encompassing all classes. There's only so much you can work into the theme.

The trails are to become Knight.

Okay, a lot of these titles go well beyond my knowledge of SW. I know nothing of KOTOR.

In the game, you choose your starting class. It will dictate your attributes and starting saber color. Jedi Guardian is fight oriented. They get a blue saber and more skill point to work on combat. Jedi Consular is Force oriented. They get a green saber and lower defense and skill point, but a lot of Force points. Sentinal is a balance between them and gets the best defence and medium others as well as a yellow saber. KotOR II took it a step further by introducing the Prestiege classes. Weason Master is the next step from Guadian, Watchman a step up from Sentinel and Master the next up from Consular. I was a Sentinel turned Weapon Master in my game.

Even Sith have classes. There was Sith Maurader, Sith Assassin, and Sith Lord.

What about "The Chosen One"?

Ooooooohhhhhhh... me likey. Now that would be something to strive for!

JAYYYYYYYYY... 25K should now equal "The Chosen One" and I think it should only be given to the first person to obtain it. The second person (and all subsequent persons) at that level will get "Not Quite So Chosen As The Chosen One" or some Monty Pythonesque derivation therein.

Time to get posting!

I actually think that it should be 33K to get "the chosen one" status. Why? It's half of 66 which was the order. Started off by the final Master of "the chosen one". I also, think that the first person to make it to 66K should get the Emperor's status.

I think I like Bossk's idea better. But instead of "Not Quite So Chosen As The Chosen One" for the people who get to 25k second, how about "A Chosen One" or "Another Chosen One"?

Use "Another" as it stands out more than "A" would. Gotta have "The Chosen One" stand out as some kind of distinction.

"The Chosen One" here I come...

"One of the Chosen Ones".

Otherwise, I think only the top poster should have the moniker "The Chosen One".

Here's another one: "A vergence in the Force."

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: Sadly, I believe the prequels are beyond repair.
<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>

Hm, I still think that it should be 33K. Anyways, how about for the people who get to whatever the post rank is chosen second, how about "Almost the Chosen one"?
