A few message board questions

mans · 10-16-2001, 09:11 PM

I hope a moderator or somebody could clear some things out for me... just curious is all

First, when I logged in today, I noticed that my under my user name is "Elite Waterdeep Guard". Just how did I get this honor of being elite and what in the world is a "waterdeep" guard (doesn't seem to have encountered any in SoA or ToB)

Also, some registered users have pix on their posts (not just on their message postings which I think was done through UBB Code) but even right under their names! Wow! Howd they do that?!?! (NOW I'm really sounding the newbie that I am! heheh)

Would appreciate if anyone could just throw some enlightenment my way.

All newbies are Elite Waterdeep Guards!

You hold this position for your first few post (until 25 or 50, I can't remember), and then you get a new title and picture.

It's all based on how many times you post,and respond to, messages.

Just for fun.

Enjoy your stay with us!

"The Martyr" (excerpt)

There is sobbing of the strong,
And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand:
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.

As far as I know, Waterdeep is a city.

The Elite Waterdeep Guard under your name is the title conferred to you for the amount of posts that you have, as you post more, you will get other ranks.

Ha! Really felt like a "Waterdeep" newbie there!

Thanks for the reply and clarification guys! I'm looking forward to getting another (much higher) title...

Ciao!

Waterdeep is a big city, far bigger than Baldur's Gate and it's north of the city of bal.gate. As for the "promotions" as I call it, you become a Dungeon Master at 50 posts, a magister at 100 and there are many more that I don't remember. When you registered, there was a list, though I think it's a bit out-of-date or what?

It's a bit out of date and will be updated soon.

Since this message posting got some sort of momentum already, hope you don't mind my furthering the otherwise short and superficial inquiry

Just curious, Memnoch, what do those 4 stars signify (I suppose you put them yourself since you're a moderator?)? Also, what do the other side pictures signify (e.g. Hiram Sedai's male "Sorceror" figure? Again, just curious...
