Trooper Zero Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I have seen everyone having a high and low ranks, if it has nothing to do with message storage quota then I was just wanting to know how the advance in rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 it's derived from your post count. the more posts the higher the rank. if you're a member of the 501 then it just says 'member' or if you're EIB then you get 'expert infantry' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tanner, we only joked around after you got the right answer from tkbondservnt. There was nothing else to answer. What's life without humor ?

Private 0 Corporal 25 Sergeant 50 Lieutenant 100 Captain 150 Major 250 Colonel 500 Commander 1000 General 1500 Field Marshall 2000 Grand Moff 3000 Has anyone ever considered "pinning" this information under the FISD guidelines?

NoVATie[Admin] Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'll pin it here for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaoslord Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 lol great idea, but I do think Emperor would be up there. There is only one Emperor ranking. To get it, you would have to hunt down the current holder and, er, ummm...*obtain it* from them... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomshakra[TK] Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 While this topic is active (and to build up my # of posts ), what do the ribbons (aside from EIB/Centurion) signify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 The red based one is called the FISD Service Medal. I created it as a thank-you to everyone who served on staff a full year (or close to it). The reason is that staff work so hard throughout the year and get very little recognition for it. I wanted a way to say thanks and commemorate their work, as otherwise once they roll off of staff people tend to forget what they contributed. Each star is a subsequent award, e.g. one star is a second award, two starts 3rd award, etc. That worked great, but we also had people outside of staff who contribute quite a bit as well. They create best of the best tutorials, or else spend the hours taking screen caps of some EU character, or else just really contribute over time by consistently helping out new members. I wanted a way of saying "thanks" for that as well, as post counts really don't tell the full story (see * below). So I created the FISD Merit Award for oustanding contributions to FISD and the FISD community. In order to keep things fair I also made a rule that current staff can't get this award, as they are already getting "rewarded" with a Service Medal and also that the real reward is the good karma feeling of giving back and helping others. Service is a privelege in it's own right. The reason you see a lot of staff (or former staff) with both ribbons is that I usually recruited new staff from Merit Award winners as they had already demonstrated their spirit of troopers helping troopers, though as you can also see this is not a hard and fast rule, as talent is where you find it, and there are many ways of contributing to the community. Does this help? * aside: on MEPD one person - I think it was Brak's Buddy - used to have a signature that read something (this is from memory) like: - You are not your post count - You are not your TE armor - You are not your hyperfirm blaster What he was trying to say was that we really are equals in the hobby and status is gained by helping others, not by having the most accurate kit or posting a lot.

boomshakra[TK] Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thank you for explaining that, Daetrin - makes perfect sense and is obviously well-deserved by all recepients. I would be hard-pressed to find another forum as informational and helpful (outside the other Detachment forums) as FISD. The same question might be asked 100 times here, but it is always responded to as if it were the first time. (whoo-hoo...one post closer to Corporal!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arbayer2[TK] Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm with Jason - I wondered for the longest time the way the rankings system worked, and boom! Here it is. Goes without saying, the FISD is awesome. It's like a computer -- you can easily get miscellaneous info via it but you have plenty of reasons to get used to working with it.
