I know this has probably been explained a million times before, but
once more, with feeling, for us newcomers - why am I an 'Initiate'
while other people are 'Archons' or better? (I know WHY - it's 'cos
I haven't been doing this very long) I'm sure it doesn't mean much
or affect what we can say, so why bother having these silly titles
at all? To impose a system of hierachy, no matter how notional or
lighthearted upon a site like <the nexus> seems somewhat
inappropriate given its source and inspiration.
Look!Nick Waddam! is an inveterate (though well-informed and
handsome) bullshitter, so why should he be higher up the ladder than
me?

Hmmm, I'm beginning to think The Nexus is populated by three people
with a variety of pseudonyms...
Oh yeah, and it's like that, glassonion, 'cause that's the way it
is.

I'm Kind of excited about recieving my first title change.
Wow
I'm such an elitist. My cravings for rank and status will be the
death of me.
Question though, what is the actual hierarchy, (Or
is not knowing all part of the "FUN")

See, the tricky part is, they think I'm an operative, when actually
I'm a double agent, and then, well, here's where it gets
complicated, then I turn around and use the information I've
gathered on the Nexus to stage a memetic subversion campaign deep
inside their network of deep cover people, so they forget they
aren't who they're pretending not to be, and then they become
initiates, and I get ten dollars for each one I bring in, but only
if they become double agents...

I get a free toaster oven for every conversion I make. I really
don't know what to do with them all. All my closets are full of
them, and my house-mates are sick of the clutter in the living room.
I understand, however, that I can trade them all in for a pink
cadilac when I get enough.
Wish me luck.

The onion's my friend, he can insult me if he wants to - so long as
he allows me to describe him as a poncey little elf.

Exactly how many posts does it take to advance to the level of
Myrmidon?
I have an unfair advantage; since I have this problem with long
posts I repeatedly have to break up my messages into smaller chunks,
meaning I get a good four credits in place of one...

Sorry, BAJ, but persistence alone is not enough to make a
Myrmidon--you've got to be chosen by the Archon. And with great
power comes great responsibility--each Myrmidon is responsible for
moderating one or more forums on the Nexus.

The question here has 70sman regressed to a previous deep cover
identity, or is he lost in the collective.

Look! Nick Waddam!'s achievements are indeed impressive, as Citizen
Smith points out above. Inded, the poor mite's hands are so small
even the shortest post is a mammoth task, leaving his roach-size
fingers sore and bruised as he struggles to cover two keys with his
span.
Anyway, since when was 'well-informed and handsome' an insult?

I want to know why in a forum whose contributors are, assumedly, on
the Invisibles' side of things, we're categorized by the
nomenclature of the enemy...
