Title: How Do I get promoted
Post by: Orcs on 17 February 2012, 12:09:44 AM
I see that each member of the forum has a rank, with some of the longer serving members being higher ranks.  Is their some  system for it?

Yep, as lentulus says, it's based on how many posts you have.  I think the first promotion occurs at 50 posts, so not too far to go!

An unconfirmed rumour has it that you get commissioned automatically for any five posts calling for a conquest of Mexico range.

Based on my posting frequency I should be promoted soon. But after that my captains bars are a ways off.

Probably this one: http://www.lonesentry.com/ordnance/samml-kw-kfz-42-charging-truck.html

Maybe the tracks and feathered headdress are a field modification? Probably done by the little known German expedition to Central America?

Why do Forum owners sit there smuggly when we ask sensible questions such as "how can I get promoted?" and never really answer?

Pete Jones does the same on his BKC forum. Something to do with the "it's my ball" syndrome I suspect.

My own answer (reply 1) is correct, if in a joking form.  Leon's (reply 2 and our host here) is complete and polite.

After that, why not joke around?

We all know the truth, it's not what you know, it's who you know.

I should be Field Marshal of the Universe, but Leon is still smarting after I posted a few comments about his height.  (He really is the the model for many of the ranges, but the model makers have to scale the greens up).

Once had drinks with their admiral, lovely chap! Cute wife too...
FRom Wiki:
Landlocked Switzerland does not have a high-seas navy, but it does maintain a fleet of military lake patrol boats. This includes the Aquarius-class Patrouillenboot 80 PBRs, operated by Motorboat Company 10, which patrol Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne, Lake Lugano, Lake Maggiore and Lake Constance.[19]

Discussed the fleet, three patrol boats on Lake Geneva to stop smuggling! He was the admiral because it was his turn (according to his wife).
