Title: How do I advance?
Post by: DancingMagicDance on December 28, 2003, 06:28:56 PM
How do I advance from being a ''Wizard's Slave'' rank? Do I have to write an amount of posts?

How many posts do I need to advance from Wizard's Slave and what are all the ranks, in total?
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Storm on December 29, 2003, 03:31:53 AM
It's 50 to advance from Wizard's Slave. I can't remember the rest... it was so long ago   ;)

Post by: Jeysie on December 29, 2003, 05:36:44 AM
Hmm. Going from memory (and some extrapolations from the members list)...

0-50 - Wizard's Slave
51-100 - Silly Adventurer
101-250 - Devoted Knight
251-500 - Royal Heir
501-750(1000?) - Great Oracle
751(1001?)-1500(?) - Powerful Wizard
1501(?)-(?) - Magical Genie

Don't feel bad, Say... I remember all the useless stuff (the sheer amount of science fiction and computer game trivia crap in my brain astounds me sometimes :P ), and forget all the important stuff.

Of course, what we need is Yonkey to get his butt back here so he can set the record straight. ;) (Of course, everyone else who's been AWOL needs to get back here, too! We miss you guys!(/whine))

Awwww.  Fugly, mean and horrible?  No one here is like that!  Those people are still cruising the malls for post-xmas specials.  :suffer:  ;)

Simple - I don't expect to post that much. What if everyone stop posting and I have nothing to post about? I wouldn't dream of making useless posts just for the sake of getting a new title (except for this one, and the two that came before it, or course)  :P

If there's post count transferring to be done, it should be applied to everyone then and I doubt even Say has that much posts. It's true she's out of the level game though.

I dont remember you around here :D, I was a post freak even before cesar ir rich (rich used to post around here) and even before storm ever appeared :P which she is the only one I remember as a regular user which its still a regular, the rest of you are newbs :P !!

and yes mango, let me know how many posts you had exactly so we can give them back to you, I do apologize (once again) for the servers breakdown and many of you losing the posts account, I did make it quite clear whoever who wanted their posts back let me know how much was it and we will re-add them to you if they werent added already. When I did say the first time was meant also for everyone.

Say, no one is doubting your post count...
Copycat was only saying that if you decide to give away some of your posts to another poster (namely, Mango), you should divide them equally among all posters - and then it wouldn't be a lot for each individual poster  ;)

That's the first I heard of it, but OK. I lost about 1500 posts, or whatever gets me to the next level and keeps me in 2nd place... I'm not greedy  ;D

Post by: copycat on January 09, 2004, 04:17:53 PM
I think it was about 300-odd posts I lost, it has been that long already I don't remember it very well anymore. And anyway, I don't remember exactly how many posts I lost either, the only thing I still remember clearly is I should have been a level higher than I was. That's a downside of this type of post counting, it always showing the current number. If it was the other system. I could've seen how many posts I had when I complained I should have had more (heck, I made a special thread about it), and then extrapolate how many posts I missed. This is the best estimate I can make at this time: 300. Won't make me a Magical Genie yet, but at least I'll be closer. ;)
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Oldbushie on January 12, 2004, 01:34:06 PM
I had about 910 posts, some of which were added (can't remember what the totals in the pre-crash record were) and some which weren't.  Just add 455 and I'll be happy. ;)

Well, I just remembered my latest count, I couldn't remember what the count was at the time of backup especially when I wasn't sure when the backup was made. ;) Though I do remember practically doubling my post count over the summer....

Yonkey posted the pre-crash totals somewhere, can't remember where. :P

Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Yonkey on January 13, 2004, 03:37:00 PM
Actually, I never posted the pre-crash totals.  I posted the totals everyone had from Boardnation though over here:

http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?action=display;board=2;threadid=491;start=0#msg9903 (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?action=display;board=2;threadid=491;start=0#msg9903)

Actually, if you go to your profile and search all posts made by you, it orders them all by the number of posts u made most recently.  The number it says beside the post u made closest to October 25th.  Subtract THAT from your current post total and Boardnation count I posted above, and you'll get your pre-crash total (that is, the number of posts you've made up until June 27th, 2003).  Before I post this, it says 457, meaning my pre-crash total was 805-457 = 348.
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Oldbushie on January 13, 2004, 06:38:20 PM
Erm, the searching won't work quite right... :( How do I search for ALL posts by a certain user, not just the ones with some word in them?
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Yonkey on January 13, 2004, 06:44:32 PM
Yeah, that search thing's somewhat messed up.   ::)

The easiest way is to go to their profile (finding their name in the member list or something) and at the bottom of the screen where it says Additional Information, choose Show the last ALL posts of this person, and hit Go.  

It might take some time to load, depending on the amount of posts the person has and/or the length of them. :)
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Storm on January 13, 2004, 07:28:52 PM
OK... My post count now is 1571, my boardnation post count was 122 (geez, I must have been sleeping then), and my post count up to the recent crash was 855...

SO: 855-122 = 733 and that's my pre-crash total. But not really - that's just the total on the last pre-crash backup  :P

So I'm no closer to knowing how many posts I lost... BUT, I did notice I have ABSOLUTELY NO POSTS between 25.6.2003 and 27.10.2003!!! that's 4 months worth of  lost posts! just for comparison, in the ~2 months since 27.10.2003 I made 716 posts. Even if you consider the 122 boardnation posts made at that time, it's still plenty  ::)

Maybe that 1500 posts estimate wasn't that far-fetched after all ;)

Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Yonkey on January 13, 2004, 07:36:29 PM
Don't forget Storm, your current post total includes your YaBB posts.  The old forums didn't include those, so you'd have to subtract those too.   ::)

Yeah I know, it's complicated.   ;D  One thing's for certain though, I know no one reached the Magical Genie level and very few people were at the Powerful Wizard level.  :)
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Oldbushie on January 13, 2004, 08:28:12 PM
488 is what I need then. 422 was the pre-crash amount (1267-705-140), and 910 posts is the last number I remember before the crash. So my estimate was actually a little under the actual amount. ;)
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Say on January 15, 2004, 05:06:03 AM

October 25th, of what year? I've got November 3, 2002 as the latest entry (somewhere in the archives), numbered 837. It took my pc half an hour to produce that list. :-\
Current post number is 1107. Boardnation was 270.
1107-837-270=0. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong. Do I need October 25, 2003? Oh, and I also made posts on the old-old-old forum, is that what you mean when talking about the YaBB forum? Anyway, if I substract even those (whatever number they were), I go to negative! Hmmm. :-X
/me is in dire need of another (more recent) pc to produce the (All-)list faster.
All I need is the number of posts I had when I got to this forum, I can then go from 750 to that number, and that will approximately be my missing posts. See, I already calculated I should have either been a PW, or close to it. I was thrown back to being a Great Oracle, (that's also something I remember), but not how many posts that Great Oracle had.
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Storm on January 15, 2004, 03:40:15 PM
Copycat -
I listed your posts... It was 845 (not including the boardnation temp forum), of which 580 made after Dec 25. So, 845 - 580 = 265 and that should be your pre-crash count  :)
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Yonkey on January 15, 2004, 04:16:00 PM
Storm calculated it right.  I just checked and your vBulletin total was 261, then you made 4 posts on the YaBB forums, so 265 is your pre-crash total, copycat.   :)

Oh yeah, in case you're wondering: Storm, your vBulletin total was 426 and oldbushie's is 422.  

So one last time: your current post count =

YaBB CGI posts + vBulletin posts + Boardnation posts + YaBB SE posts   ;D

If dates help you:
YaBB CGI = June 9, 2002 - February 7, 2003
vBulletin = February 8, 2003 - June 27, 2003
Boardnation = September 29, 2003 - October 26, 2003
YaBB SE = October 27, 2003 - present
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Storm on January 15, 2004, 05:14:12 PM
Those numbers still seem off to me... my pre-crash count is 733, but we had the whole "race for the Powerful Wizard title" a little while before the crash, and as far as I can recall I got the title but didn't make that many posts after that - I don't believe I even passed 1000. That would mean I lost even less than 300 posts... could I have been posting so little? a mere 100 posts a month? :-\
However, that's not counting the lost posts from the YaBB CGI board... now that's definately 1500  ;D

Oldbushie -
How come your pre-crash be only 422? weren't you the one to beat me on that "race for Powerful Wizard" we had back then? It's hard to believe I made only 17 posts in the time it took you to make 228  ???

Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Yonkey on January 15, 2004, 05:36:14 PM
Your race for Powerful Wizard occured after June 27th.  Cuz you guys both had the Royal Heir title at the time of the crash (not even Great Oracle there).  I remember you not posting a lot once u found out the title Storm.  Did you ever make it to the Powerful Wizard level (750)?

Quote from: Storm on January 15, 2004, 05:14:12 PM

Don't forget, that 733 includes your YaBB cgi posts.  If you subtract those posts from there you should get 426.

Post by: Storm on January 15, 2004, 05:55:48 PM
RIGHT!! you added the posts from the first YaBB forum after the crash! I completely forgot about that ::) Now everything makes sense ;D

I did make it to Powerful Wizard back then, a little after Oldbushie IIRC. I think my post count back then was a little less than his, so I also have something like 450-500 missing posts  8)

Now, can I demand my lost posts from the first YaBB forums as well?  ;)

Yeah, I feel like I should be using my basic algebra here or something. Of course, all of my pre-crash posts were lost in the crash itself (since I joined in August, yes, you've been putting up with me for 5 months, muahahaha!!!), so the point is pretty moot to me. ;D

Nevermind - Yonkey cleared that up for me. My REAL pre-crash count was 426, all the rest were post from the old YaBB board Yonkey added AFTER the crash. Now that's a number I could live with  ;D

I listed your posts... It was 845 (not including the boardnation temp forum), of which 580 made after Dec 25. So, 845 - 580 = 265 and that should be your pre-crash count  :)
265+270=535, yes, that could have been my starting number at this forum.
Thank you so much. Don't let Jeysie see this, but :-*.
Anyway, there's definitely missing posts because you see, I distinctly remember being a Great Oracle when it all went down, and Dragon and Mango followed suit short after me. After that, I didn't make too many new posts, so Mango and Dragon passed me. Now Oracles start at 501, do they not? So, if I had 270 posts at the Boardnation forum, I should at least have had 771 posts when I started back here, thus being a Powerful Wizard (starting at 751). I'm guessing my estimate of 200 posts lost is pretty accurate then, maybe even a bit too low. Didn't have too many posts on the old Yabb board, so I don't mind what's done with those. I still don't get the pre-crash count thing. Which crash are we talking about? :-\

I think the pre-crash count is the number of posts u had upto June 27th, 2003.  The confusion is that the vBulletin forums never had the YaBB posts in there.  

The pre-crash count at vBulletin forum only had posts from February 8, 2003 - June 27, 2003.

So, I made Great oracle-ness on vBulletin posts exclusively then. No confusion there. What is confusing is that if those are the vBulletin exclusive post-counts, they are way too low.

Was that the date after which 'we' were using Boardnation as a temp forum?

Now I'll go check out the CGI YaBB board and try to calculate how many posts I lost there  ;)
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Storm on January 17, 2004, 04:09:19 PM
That turned out to be about a 120... back then I was only making QUALITY posts  :P
Title: Re:How do I advance?
Post by: Storm on January 17, 2004, 05:21:00 PM
Since I couldn't remember my post count at the time of the crash, I estimated it according to the the time between the backup and the new boards.
I made 306 posts from the time I joined the forum, on 20.8.2002, till the last CGI YaBB backup before the forum crashed, at 11.12.2002 - ~4 months. According to the this, my average for 1 month was ~75 posts.

The vBulletin boards went online at 8.2.2003 - that's a ~2 months gap, and minus the ~1 week the forum was down, I came up with ~1.5 months of lost posts, which, considering my average back then, translates to ~120 posts. Confusing enough for everyone?  ;)

There's always a small percentage of those posts useful, sometimes... ;D
Anyway, if anyone wants to waste their time doing useless posts on this messageboard, who are we to stop them? Oh, I'd just like to warn you: work is at the verge (?sp) of swamping me, so my visits to this board are going to be scarce the next few weeks, and probably concentrated in the weekends (Friday evening most probably).
So, when can we expect the (manual) post-upping? :P

lol What?  Don't send me math!  I see enough of that crap at school. :D  

We actually might get the old forum posts back.  I'm still not 100% sure yet, but once I do get em, I'll update everyone's post count first and then add the missing posts later (since that part won't be easy to do).  8)

whiping and insulting its seriously totally different from teasing, I mean... you don't know what word-violence means till you spend a year with cesar and dean... lmao, I do mean it.... lol we do insult each other to the edge of f***ing hate each for weeks lol <3

Ahh, you mean sincerely intended mistreatment. That's an entirely different matter. Not unexpected, though... even total best friends who commit to working on a long-term project together, especially a creative one, can start getting on each other's nerves after a time.

My warning to CC still stands, though. :suffer:

There's teasing, and there's insulting, those are two entirely different matters.
Also, I was taking the whipping very literally and physically. Since I'm pacifist at heart, I despise all means of agression amongst animals (this includes humans) of the same species, unless they're meant for survival.
So you see why my cat team is totally devoted to defensive actions. 8)
I'm afraid I'm not too good at making up teasing comments though, so I'd be no good at those kind of matches. Unfortunately, my lack of creative talent also shows on that area. That doesn't mean ofcourse, I wouldn't want to hang around you. :-*

I suck at verbal teasing as well... and much more so IRL. Even if I do manage to think of a decent come-back, it's usually 30 minutes too late  :P
