Finalizing annual events and revising the rank system

[ZeaLitY]

Hero of the Masamune was an award for the Chrono Trigger Colosseum contest, and Moon Stone J, yeah, was made by Lord J.

We really won't have participants for the remixing contest. I mean, flat out NO ONE will make a remix. And Dwelling of Duels already gets a bunch of Chrono entries whenever they do Free Month.

What about the Masamune rank thingo?
EDIT: And I just noticed Lord J has a special rank called Moon Stone J

That's his own doing... I think he's gone rogue, perhaps to come back and stir up some trouble later...

Really though, I never noticed he did it until Z pointed it out, and then I thought it was kind of creative.

Really? No one will remix? I thought there might be some bad blood from OCR, but I figured if the Compendium sponsored (i.e. held) a friendly lil remixing competition once a year (or perhaps even just bi-annually), they'd be game (seeing how the Chrono series is one of the MOST ReMixed series on OCR)...

Anyone up for Burning Stone Z?

[V_Translanka]

No, I think it'd have to be Sun Stone Z...MAYBE Burning Sun Stone Z...but, hey, Lord J nixed next to ALL of his SN in that rank...so, actually, Sun Stone Z or GTFO!

[Burning Zeppelin]

How about just "Freaking Awesome Z"?

I have been here for about six months and I haven't really seen much concerning the special titles in the forums.  For instance, how does one earn such titles as "Guru of Reason", "Guru of Time", "Guru of Life", etc.  I also see that there were various courts holding such titles.  Although I have lurked the Compendium forums since 2004, I didn't bother to ever look into any of the policies, politics, etc., and I'm curious as of to how it all works.

[ZeaLitY]

It's all totally explained on the About page; specifically, the charter. The Gurus titles were created to honor massive, massive achievements, like Temporal Flux, the Retranslation, Principles of Time and Dimensional Travel, Time Error, Chrono Cross exploration, et cetera...

Okay, I'm going to read up.  Thanks for taking the time to point me in the right direction, Zeality!

Random commentary: I've always seen a dinosaur's head instead of Chronopolis on the Chronopolitan rank... until now...

[V_Translanka]

+9001 should be "Over nine thouuuuuusand!!" and the icon should be, y'know, a pic of Vegeta where his scanner is breaking...Even though no one's gotten up that high, I guess...

[Kilfer]

older topic i realize but i'm personally a big nu fan i also think it'd be cool if maybe people could use any picture at or below their rank. they may not be able to change it but possibly per request?

Uh, they can...it's called an avatar. >_>

[Kilfer]

. . .

Yes

I could use an avatar . . . buuuut I was referring to the forum titles and the picture that accompanies them. If user's who'd rather have Guile or whatever pictures their previous titles had, rather than the one their current title uses.

[V_Translanka]

Ah, okay, I guess that makes sense, I guess...being able to choose from the titles you've acquired previously.
