Re(2): New level: heretical

in thread New level: heretical

Anybody have a list spanning from just below initiate on down to ... (anti-saint|whatever)?

Might it include titles like Fallen, sinner and/or possessed?

I'd think "Fallen" would be about right for level -10 (Fallen Angels, etc). How's this for new levels?

Level	Title
-1	Unbeliever
-2	Offender
-3	Sinner
-4	Transgressor
-5	Heretic
-6	Infidel
-7	Blasphemer
-8	Idolator
-9	Heresiarch
-10	Fallen

The trick is ordering the severity of things like blasphemy, idolatry, heresy, and so on.

I'd vote to replace 'Offender' with 'daemon' ;)

Ack! You've lost 5 XP. You have -100429 until level Antivroom.

I wonder if it as good idea to create a career path for vandals? And put "vandal" in there BTW... :-)

Well, ++ for effort, but your proposed names would need some reconsideration. Problem is that "unbeliever" and "infidel" are synonyms; as are "offender", "sinner", and "transgressor"; as are "heretic" and "blasphemer". "Fallen" refers to pretty much everybody.

I would propose a taxonomy with fewer levels. How about

Level	Title
-1	Benighted
-2	Sinner
-3	Excommunicant
-4	Witch
-4	Troll

Hmmmm... A Possible down-side to this whole idea is that it gives persons of a certain anti-social inclination something to strive for. In effect, it rewards undesirable behavior.

Maybe what we need is something like:

Level	Title
-1	Penitent
-2	Excommunicant

This only serves to promote negative XP. I can see people creating accounts with the intention of reaching these levels. This is something we should avoid.
