Default All I want for Christmas is a "Promotion"..

Ok, people. Here's your chance to log in some Posts to get a nice promotion for Christmas.

The only rule that I will insist on is that nobody be alowed to make double or triple Posts.

So, let's see how many people we can help get promoted.

Cheers!

P.S. expect to see a few Posts by me, I have a bit of a ways to go for my next promotion.

I didn't even realize how the promotion system worked until I went over 400 and got to be a 2nd Lt. Now, how much to I have to post to be a 1st lt?

Speaking of promotions, do any of you know the actual post-count/rank system used here?

I had it marked down way back when I made the rank insignias, but have since lost them. I think my next promotion is at 1800, but It might be 2000 in which case there is very little chance that I'll be promoted before xmas, unless I get an honorary 'Spec-Ops' position. (nudge-nudge wink, wink know what I mean?) LOL

Cheers!

I would believe this is the updated list with the Last title at 10,000 Posts. So it seems like your promotion is not too far away David. *Hint hint* Where is the Avatar Emporium? Maybe you should bump this thread or something along these lines? */Hint hint*

And where did they come up with the 10000 post rank and title? How do they even know there is a rank at 10000? Noone has that rank, so it is all supposition (unless Richard snuck that in there... ).
