The question has been asked before.

http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,4649.0.html

The approved way is still massive amounts of postings in the 'Top Totty' thread, ofcourse. But dropping hints here and there about Meso-Americans is rumoured to help as well.

Repeating the same post again and again does not work, however, and may cause the moderators to impose disciplinary measures. With your earlier posts you seemed to be on the right track. So try some constructive posting, and you'll get there pretty quick.

I'm sure none of us would cheat the system, gentlemen. Remember old Ponsoby Biscuit-Schmetterling? We caught him trying to get an extra rank by allowing his spon-runner to post in his name. We went into the bounder's quarters, looked him squarely in the eye, and left a loaded revolver on the dresser....

I did it! I'm no longer a cadet!!

Now I can find some cadets and pick on them ... or isn't that the point?

Title: Re: Promotion
Post by: Hertsblue on 25 April 2013, 07:37:16 AM
No, the point is to strive for higher and higher rank until you finally reach a point at which the government can blame you for the latest military disaster and retire you without paying you a pension.

I think that's how it works.  :(

The point is to accumulate the authority to demand Aztecs (for instance) and then complain in the mess that nobody pays any attention.

You know like moaning Kitty, and Aztecs don't 'ave tracks.  MORE TANKS

Tanks to hold the blood after sacrifices? Useful in the baggage, but not top priority, surely?

Is there a particular tank you're actually after?!  We're knocking out more vehicles all the time, so we're kinda covering your request...  :-\

I was intending to make my 3,000th post....along with my new rank something a little more memorable....Like posting a pic of the unzombified civilians as a Wip....or maybe a pic of the 'complete' Gaul infantry group.

Instead I've been boggering about all day, enjoying myself, and having too much to drink in celebration of the fact that I'm now an official BT Pensioner.
Buns, cakes and intoxicating beverages in the Forum bar this evening to celebrate this momentous dual event.
I'm 260 today....and whatever rank it is. <:-P <:-P <:-P

(Heck I feel old.....The other 'decades' didn't bother me at all....So why does this one ? ;))

Cheers All - Phil.

Title: Re: Promotion
Post by: Techno on 29 April 2013, 04:09:26 PM
We Major Generals have to stick together Will. ;)
We'll never catch the 2(?) higher ranks though.!!
Always going to have to call Nik and Leon "Sir", I reckon.  ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil.

This is true - three weeks offline at home and then work-enforced restrictions on playtime have seriously conspired against my online drivelling posting  :)

Oddly enough, Phil, the only decade that ever bothered me was 30 - I felt I was no longer a young man. As for the others - do you actually physically feel any different from how you did yesterday? If the answer is "no" then forget about it.  :) :) :)

Ray....
I think it's the fact that over the last decade it feels like bits of me have broken down rather more noticeably than before. ;D ;D

Orcs....
In my mind I'm still in my early twenties.....But my body laughs evilly, and dares me to push it just that bit too far !! ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil.
