What are they?

Xx_Abe_xX · #1 02-09-2007, 12:03 PM

Ya know the ODDWORLD trademark sign(s) that appear under your username? What are they? Cause I've been wondering since I started. And also, What does it mean when it says 'Zappfly' or 'Boombat' under your username?

Maybe this should be in forum help? When you've hit a certain amount of posts you get another inhabitants symbol, when you look at these, it shows you who to respect!

I have 5, so you've gotta respect me!

The text under your username is a rank. When you reach a certain amount of posts, it changes. Simple!

Yup, good answer Jordan_Boi.

I'm moving this to Forum Suggestions & Help, where it belongs.

Also, Xx_Abe_xX, it is considered good form to use a descriptive thread title. Just using something like "What are they?", " Answer me this.....", "I just gotta know.......", "What if......", etc don't tell us anything about the thread or its topic.

Yeah, but some people have custom thingies, like you nate's says: Axis of Austral-evil.

You get a custom User Title after you have been a member for long enough have showed decent behavior throughout your time here. When you think you deserve one you can contact a mod for it.

@ Jordan: I have 6 so MEH!

Each one represents one mod's cock they've sucked.

Nah, it's a post count thing.

You have to ask either Alcar or me about it. The only problem is that he's lazy and I'm a bastard so don't get your hopes up.

Yeah, the only reason I got a Custom Title was that I wrote an alternately funny and threatining PM to SeaRex before he stepped down.

It used to be 'don't screw with (infinity symbol)' I decided it sounded retarded since it wasn't really anything like the original quote by It, which was 'Don't f**k with infinity'. It's basically the same words, but it sounds less retarded.

But, then I got OWF rolling and asked for the current Talespinner one.

What fun it'll be to confuse Nate with numerous contradicting Custom Title requests. He'll crack in no time, and I shall be given the reigns of power! Bwhahahahahahaha!

Bullet Magnet · #9 02-10-2007, 05:24 PM

Whatever happened to "Ask and ye shall not receive"? Was that simply a ruse to keep n00bs like me from spamming the mods?

***Nate*** · #10 02-10-2007, 11:06 PM

No, it has been fully reinstated by myself.

EDIT: Rest of post deleted to keep people quiet.

I guess I understand what you mean. Oh, if you're gonna say my name, just call me Abe

***Nate*** · #12 02-12-2007, 04:58 AM

Too many people have 'Abe' in their screen names on this forum. It would get rather confusing.

Jordan · #13 02-12-2007, 02:06 PM

Is 'Abe' all they can think of to do with Oddworld? I like names of other creatures, not just boring old Abe.
Or maybe have a username that is something totally not related to Oddworld? 'Abe' gets REALLY annoying.

snuzi · #14 02-12-2007, 02:25 PM

It really does. Try being original.

Bullet Magnet · #15 02-12-2007, 04:24 PM

"Dripik" for instance.

Daxter King · #16 02-12-2007, 07:37 PM

Nah, Daxter King is the most original name out there. On a side note, for some reason I remember someone having the username "Dipshit", I'm serious, or is it just my imagination?

mitsur · #17 02-12-2007, 08:15 PM

No, you're all wrong.

Mitsur is the most original, since I bet none of you would be able to guess what it comes from. Hell, I didn't even know myself until my dad told me why he named this account Mitsur when he and I first registered to get AE help.

...

I think you mean Dipstikk.

Jordan · #19 02-12-2007, 11:47 PM

The most stupid username I've seen is a string of numbers. Point?

***Alcar*** · #20 02-13-2007, 05:03 AM

Completely off-topic guys. Unless someone wants to ask another question about titles or ranks, no more replies.

Secondly, I've created a revised sticky thread in FS&H that details what custom titles, titles, and ranks are. It can be found by following this link: http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=15008
