Haha, nice. I'll make sure to use those when we get more members. :D

Okay, we've got more members.

10: Kuribo
50: Mr. Disk-Kun

250: Famicom
500: Famicom Disk System
1000: AV Famicom
2000: Twin Famicom Sharp (And a custom user title, if you want. )

I like it, but how about this:

0-49 = Converter
50-99 = Famiclone
100-249 = Famicom
250-499 = Disk System
500-999 = AV Famicom
1000-1999 = Twin Famicom
2000-4999 = FamicomBox
5000+ = Disk-kun

That list in unnecessarily complex. What's the point of 0 and 1-9? And I don't see the relevance of Kuribo...explain.

How about this:

0-49 = Converter
50-99 = Famiclone
100-249 = Famicom
250-999 = Disk System
1000-1999 = AV Famicom
2000-2999 = Twin Famicom
3000-3999 = Sharp C1
4000-4999 = FamicomBox
5000+ = Disk-kun

The point of 1-9 is to rid yourself of having no posts & being deemed "worthless." :D

As for Kuribo, it was meant to supplement Disk-Kun as he was the only character in the mix.  But since the only Famicom name I could come up with was Kuribo, I put that in there.

Ah, I see. But I think Disk-kun, as the only official Nintendo mascot, sort of transcends the congregation of puny Famicom characters.

So, if we've settled on above list...all we need is approval from the overlord.

I don't think it's too high. You ought to stay around for at least 50 posts if you want to move up. Doesn't seem to be asking a lot. Plus, having too many designations gets downright confusing.

Zero ought to be something useless, but something electronic, so it goes with the flow of the list. Can you think of anything made for the Famicom that was useless?

0 = ?
1-49 = Converter
50-99 = Famiclone
100-249 = Famicom
250-999 = Disk System
1000-1999 = AV Famicom
2000-2999 = Twin Famicom
3000-3999 = Sharp C1
4000-4999 = FamicomBox
5000+ = Disk-kun

lol at long argument. :D

Hmm...I don't like have too many rankings, personally, but I DO like the ones you guys have. :)

The only thing I disagree with is how the rankings from 250-on on JC's. Every thousand posts? Only like 3 people will make it, and they'll be mods! :D
Title: Re: Oh yeah...the rankings.
Post by: Jedi Master Baiter on October 30, 2006, 06:17:10 am
Yeah, every thousandth post?  But Disk-kun at 5000 isn't necesarily a bad thing.

What you need to do is make the post rank last longer as you go higher.

0 = ?
1-9 = Converter
10-24 = Famiclone
25-99 = Famicom
100-249 = Disk System
250-499 = AV Famicom
500-999 = Twin Famicom
1000-2499 = Sharp C1
2500-4999 = FamicomBox
5000+ = Disk-kun

This is just an example.

I like it, except that ugly question mark. :P

I like all of Jedi's except these three:
"
1-9 = Converter
10-24 = Famiclone
25-99 = Famicom"

I think a changing a rank in only ten posts just looks too...weird?

How about:

0 = Converter
1-24 = Famiclone
25-99 = Famicom
100-249 = Disk System
250-499 = AV Famicom
500-999 = Twin Famicom
1000-2499 = Sharp C1
2500-4999 = FamicomBox
5000+ = Disk-kun

Cleans it up a bit.

Looks ok to me. :)

Well, I made the changes, and maybe we'll consider doing something about Converter. I figure that's the best description. Adaptor doesn't work very well either, and 60-72 Pins sounds funny since it's the pins and not the converter itself. Could call it by the brand names, but most people don't know those anyway.

No, that's a good thing "Converter" - like many of the people like me who want to get Famicom games, but don't have a Famicom at the time just use a converter. :P

Also a person is a "converter," just converted to Famicom. :P

I see, a play on words. Stupid me. :P Goes well with the new Brazilians' Famicom church.
