I've got an idea

[Dunenewt]

I think that people should be able to join a group. Th si group would be one of the following:

House Atreides

House Corrino (and Sardaukar)

House Harkonnen

House Ordos

House Vernius (Ix)

House Richese

Fremen

Guild of Navigators

Bene Gesserit

Bene Tleilax

And each group gets their own board.

Its an idea which is used in the Dreamers of Dune forums and it works.

[Apollyon]

I think that's too many subdivisions considering the number of members that fed2k possesses.

[Desert Ranger42]

I would advise everyone joining a pre-existing house (Atreides Harkonnen and so forth), up to an agreed amount of people (say 20), and once all the other factions are filled up, start creating new ones.

But I'm just an ignorant newb, what do I know. :-[

[Desert Ranger42]

How about a heirachy? Each house would have a House command (All the C in C's and what not) then house gaurds, the army, and finally the civillians. That or some other such thingy.

But I'm still an ignorant newb. :-[

[Dante]

Well actually that was almost entirely the idea I was aiming for. :)

Makes it a bit more complicated but more interesting. And now that this topic's back near the top (Don't look at me for bumping it, it was here when I got here!) perhaps someone will take notice...

[Dunenewt]

Well maybe we need to draw more attention to it if its such a good idea...

[Inoculator9]

I like it personally. I call the Sardaukar ;)

[Desert Ranger42]

Maybe we should vote or something? ???

[drahgoon]

yes i think we should. i vote yes.

[Dunenewt]

Me too

[Cyborg]

I like the idea too

[Dante]

Oh alright! I'll IM Gob.

[The_Sadukar]

yes do that

[Dunenewt]

We might have to come up with a final plan though.

[Dante]

Well whatever we do will be altered if it's accepted at all so that might not be necessary.

[Inoculator9]

Well, here's a crazy idea... just suggest it! And hammer out the details later!

[Dante]

I did. I've IMed Gob and though he hasn't replied, I think he'll have seen it by now...

[Andrew]

He tends to be a busy guy, usually takes 3-5 days for me to get a response about avatars.(but those arent that important ;) )

But then he may be deciding what to reply to you with.

Gob might as well reply for all to see with his decision.

[Gobalopper]

I don't really have the time to program something like this. Maybe in a few months when I'm not as busy.

[Dunenewt]

Why not bring back the ranking system though?

[Desert Ranger42]

A ranking system would be good too.

Yes I am alive, I just became separated from the Fed2k link when my computer crashed.

[Khan]

Ranking systems bring about crappy posts so that people can be Naibs, I say leave it out, but it is Gobs choice...

[Edric O]

Btw, is there any way to see our post counts in the current forum format? ??? The memberlist seems to have lost the "sort members by post count" option...

[Caid Ivik]

Copy in bookmarks this link, if you want:

[Anathema]

That doesn't show the numbers, however. You can look at the statistics centre for the post counts of the top 10 posters, wich includes Edric.

go Acriku, go! :D
