I think we have too many ranks.

There, I said it.

Half of them aren't even being used, and the names are so unfamiliar that I don't think most people can tell one from the other, anyway. In my opinion we should cut it down to 5-6 ranks. Something like:

- Leader
- Senior officers (diplomat, council, landowners, ect)
- Officers
- Senior samurai
- Samurai
- Recruits

Would be better. Recruits would be promoted to samurai after getting set up in strat and getting a recommendation. Samurai would be promoted to sr. samurai after completing the lotus challenge (which we still haven't had anyone do, including officers). Then the officers and sr. officers would be picked by the shogun.

These are just place-holder names, but you get my point. We'd have people in pretty much every rank, with most of them being samurai, which is an easily recognizable mid-tier rank - instead of a bunch of ashigaru and koyakunin and ect.

I do like the special titles though. Maybe we could do one for the red lotus challenge, instead of a rank, since I'm really doubting that many (or any) people will complete it. We could also do a 'yojimbo' rank or something for the shogun's bodyguards, like how TKoV and Hospitaller have kingsguards.

I dunno, just a thought.

To be fair, that challenge all depends on who you're matched up against. If someone like Mori had a bunch of our new recruits, it'd be a breeze.

I see your getting yourself a fief now

[Auphilia]

Yes , maybe two even. I'm excited for it lol...it is a shame Drz is pressuring all of NA though. And we border hospitallers, so I still need to go talk to them eventually. Not sure what is going on as far as drz and hos. x.X

hit me up in steam if you need some info

To be fair, Mori's one of the best samurai around. And anyway, if it's that easy for them they'd probably deserve the promotion, right?

It just seems to me that it would be better to streamline the lower ranks into more representative groups. 'Recruits' are noobs that can barely block, 'samurai' are decent players that mostly break even, and 'sr. samurai' are good players that are credit to team. By beating other samurai 3 times in a row, they're differentiating themselves from the group and showing that they're more skilled than those other samurai. If that's not enough, you could add something like what the ninja clan has for their requirements - a screenshot of you in the top 3 of your team with 7 kills or top 1 with 15 kills.

mite b cool.

just use a hex editor to edit the character name in the RAM and then connect to a crpg server then bam

you can use any character you want pretty much this way, including spaces and punctuation

I remember people use to do that for spaces, like Tears, right? And I'm pretty sure they were told to change that or were banned or something
