TappedOut forum

Posted on Aug. 9, 2011, 2:31 a.m. by idmantelli

I've done everything to up my rank and such like commenting on decks, voting on decks, making my own decks, posting on the forums, commenting on posts on the forums, making friends, had some votes on my own decks, and still, I'm just a deckling. WHY.

Deckspert is only for a certain percentage of active/productive members of the site. Once you reach it then you get deckspert I believe.

Er, decklord, or whatever you can be.

For whatever reason i'm allowed to choose my ranking, for which I have choosen to call myself Illusion Lord, because that's all i'll ever be known for on this site now is that deck.

August 9, 2011 4:09 a.m.

Epochalyptik says... #9

I keep the site window open to the comment stream, so I tend to comment on a lot of active discussions, decks, Q&As, etc.

August 9, 2011 4:10 a.m.

idmantelli says... #10

meh. i'm on to you........

August 9, 2011 4:12 a.m.

Besides, I mostly lurk in the increasingly-cutthroat Q&A section. I think I might be responsible for about a third of the answers given in the past two months...

August 9, 2011 4:16 a.m.

I leave the comment stream open too...I keep wishing for T/O to implement auto-refresh on it so I don't have to do it my FREAKIN' SELF!

I'm getting one giant callus on my finger from all the refresh clicking.

idmantelli says... #13

pleasant, theemptyquiver, very pleasant.

August 9, 2011 4:18 a.m.

There used to be a number on your member page that told you how many answers you had been given credit for answering/winning/whatever.

It was there and then it was not.

August 9, 2011 4:19 a.m.

I do what I can with the material I have to work with sir idmantelli.

I'm here all night!

August 9, 2011 4:21 a.m.

August 9, 2011 4:23 a.m.

F5 is your friend, quiver...

As a side note, all the time words on the home page appear to be in Chinese...

August 9, 2011 4:25 a.m.

idmantelli says... #18

August 9, 2011 4:27 a.m.

August 9, 2011 4:27 a.m.

idmantelli says... #20

I dunno about you guys but I think it's cool that we have an Admin that we can interact with rather than having to go through massive amounts of contact forums. :D

August 9, 2011 2:03 p.m.

squire1 says... #29

The contact form works too, if people need help.

August 9, 2011 2:43 p.m.

Balthasar says... #30

So, I don't know this for certain, but I believe the secret to being a "Decklord" is to donate: I became one around the time that I donated. Then again, correlation =/= causation, and that was around the time that I started being more active... Well, good luck.

I was a decklord before I donated.

But I did contribute to become an "upgraded" member.

The decklords are just the top 50 users.

The decklords are just the top (sorry) 300 or so users...

August 10, 2011 5:42 a.m.

Yeah. I got carried away thinking about something else entirely. Shocking.

August 10, 2011 5:45 a.m.

Balthasar says... #38

You? Never!

I've eaten too much greasy pizza and drank too much beer, but I'm still glued to this screen.

August 10, 2011 5:53 a.m.

Balthasar says... #40

You poor soul... Don't you have to work? In the morning?

August 10, 2011 6:03 a.m.

mossflower says... #41

Top 300? I'm currently rank 367 and a decklord. Am I just that cool?

So I've decided That I will post this into threads that rankings get brought up.

'Dr.McMeen says...3:34 p.m. on August 4, 2010

Points are derived via an arcane formula developed in 1467 by a trio of blind Hungarian monks. The Eyeless Ones (as they were known) had discovered through years of meditation that an objective, quantitative measurement of one's prowess was needed- thus, they embarked on their quest to create the perfect "Pont Rendszer," or Point System.

After nearly forty years, the Eyeless Ones had finally devised a method of extracting cranial fluid from female doves that had been caged in the same room as the individual whose prowess was to be measured, which was then boiled and poured over a 1 meter cube of ice brought down from the mountains. The resultant cracks and holes in the ice were rapidly counted as the monks ran their hands over the cube. This number is the number of points that the individual received.

I'm not sure exactly if or how this process has been modified, as the monks passed it on only to a select few, but I do know that it is the basis for Tappedout's point scale. Hope that helps."
