Sealab 2021

[noobuIl]

All right guys, I'm a rank junkie, so I'm making this thread to try to peg down the rank path and the requirements to gain rank toward knighthood. That is, if Luuv isn't going to spill the beans. It is based on experience points (xp), which appear to be gained either by posting (non-spammy) in this here Sealab folder, or gaining points via contests, like Turtle Racing. Also, this might be for any curious onlookers that might be interested when the knights come calling to their fav folders.

So far, we have

Serf (initial rank)

Peasant (?? xp points)

Commoner (30? xp points)

Yeoman:  Must post have posted a thread in the home folder to progress beyond (been forgetting to do this though).

Gentry:  Must chose a path (for Knights of Alvis that is either "liquor" or "vengeance")

Squire:  Must chose a character to squire for (for Knights of Alvis that is either Debbie, Marco, Murphy, Quinn, Sparks, Stormy)

Reeve:  Receive your first special weapon or ability.

Aristocrat:  Gain access to the exclusive Sealab Pro Shop.

Noble:  May establish a "Keep" thread, which will then house all the character's stats, items, pets, followers etc, and may also be used as a discussion thread for whatever topics the user wishes to discuss (per the guidelines/TOS obviously)

???:????  no one has yet achieved beyond Noble rank

You get a new rank? Let us know and we will add it to the hierarchy.

I'm going to be this folder's milarkie.

[LordNotcurnus]

i dont know
im sure after commoner it goes to page
then squire then knight
so probably six in total or maybe 7 if there is an order of Alvis

[noobuIl]

Also, the colors. We were #0066cc, now we are this less snazzy #99b7e4 color.

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

Baby blue makes my ass look fat.

[noobuIl]

I'm glad you said it, because day-um.

[SwimMod_Luuv]

I'm not sure what's up with the colors, supposedly we were diversifying the palet this week, but - like every rank is still the same color so - dunno what's up will have to submit a query.

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

Do I get my own serfs now? >_>

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

Yeoman at the moment

[SwimMod_Luuv]

Yeoman rank is like a commoner who owns land.

Yeomans must post at least one topical thread in the folder before they can rank up, most of you I think already do have at least one thread of your own posting in the folder already.  But those who do not, should post a Sealab related discussion of some sort.

[noobuIl]

Thanks for the info!

This must be my thread

[SwimHumbug]

They're in batches. The first few are this color you see now, and the next few are a different color, and so on and so forth until the end of time and space and donuts.

[SwimMod_Luuv]

ah okay then.

[LordNotcurnus]

why must there be an end to the donuts ?

[SwimMod_Luuv]

At the beginning, quests and games will be fairly simple/straightforward.  They'll get a little more elaborate and difficult as ranks progress.

There will also be folder-specific items and stuff like that.  Things that there are only "1" of that knights can quest for and find, or receive.  items that add bonuses in various situations.  And then general universal items that Knights can acquire as well.

And also there will be "places" within the folder as well as the game progresses.

The rank path is the same for every folder, but each folder will still be different.  There'll be different games, quests, different items, different "places" etc.

Basically we kinda have this planned out such that any one user can play it for years and still have stuff they can accomplish.  The plan is to keep it progressive, challenging at times, fun mostly, but essentially open-ended in a number of ways, which people sill see as they gain levels and more stuff starts to happen.

[SwimMod_Luuv]

Just as one must post at least one thread to progress beyond "Yeoman", one must do something to progress beyond "Gentry",

and that is, make a supremely difficult choice.

To move beyond "Gentry" you must chose one:  Liquor or Sword. 

Yes, follower of Alvis, to advance further, you must make the impossible choice between Drunkenness and Vengeance.

Which is most important to you?  This will determine elements of your progression beyond Gentry.

[noobuIl]

nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu D:

THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE!

I cannot survive without liquor. Liquor it shall be then.

[LordNotcurnus]

you mean we have to make the choice between drunkeness and vengance D:

well i have to drunkeness is not needed

but vengance shall be mine

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

Swear to god I read that as Liquid or Gold.

what kind of sword are we talking here....

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

yeah...so, I want a [Post Count +1] Glowing Pee Yellow Bastard God Sword with +9001 damage to people who deliver vague, nonspecific or misleading information, be it diliberately or through purely innocent ignorance of the complete pool of knowledge surrounding the history, current state of, and expected or possible future of a given topic and all things immediately, and through the 7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, relevant to it.

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

and I want a laser bean.

[SwimMod_Luuv]

Laser bean sounds more like a Brak Knights type thing.

But you can't progress beyond Gentry until you chose between the path of Liquor and the path of Bengeance.

sorry "Vengeance".

[TheAltsAlternateAlt]

I jist did. That..(lol phone typping)

[westpark]

bizarro bizarro!
