FISO Ranks

Post by admin »

Can't readily see a sticky post on the fiso ranks so have listed them out below:

Newbie 1
Cheetah 3
Kevin and Perry 10
Wideboy 50
Treebeard 100
Red & Blue Braces 300
FISOhead 500
Grumpy Old Man 1,000
Dumbledore 5,000
FISO Knight 10,000
FISO Jedi Knight 20,000
FISO Baron 50,000
FISO Viscount 100,000
FISO Earl 250,000
FISO Marquess 500,000
FISO Duke 1,000,000

As per http://www.fiso.co.uk/forum/memberlist.php (then sorted on 'post count' descending) we currently have 2 Barons (murf and blahblah) with murf probably still 2 to 4 years away from Viscount status (and will be about 140 years old when he reaches Duke?).

Note: Once anyone has reached a minimum 1,000 posts then they can contact me to request a special rank similar to their automated rank (e.g. Grumpy Old Cat rather than the automated Grumpy Old Man) but please note that when your post count reaches the next trigger level it will not automatically change (e.g. it would stay at Grumpy Old Cat rather than move to Dumbledore at 5,000 posts) so you need to contact me again to remove the special rank.

These ranks originated from http://www.fiso.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1578

And murf has become the first Viscount… congratulations on 100,000 (plus a few from earlier forum versions…) posts! A few years behind admin’s predicted schedule, but got there eventually…

blahblah probably won’t be too far behind, but then there’s a big drop off after that, with nobody else even close to 50k. I remember the days when 5,000 was a momentous achievement (only puts you on page 4 of the members list now!)

At present posting rates, even murf will take until the year 2168 to become a FISO Duke. (Presumably Prince is 2.5m and King 5m?)

Maybe we need to revive Fantasy FISO Posters, word association game etc. to make such milestones more plausible :wink:

By the way, I half expected notmurf to put in an appearance as 100k approached. Maybe he couldn’t remember his password…

I reckon it was 'Don't captain Dennis in GW23'.

That must be the kind of wisdom 100k posts gets you.

The wisdom of 100,000 posts is - "don't play FPL" - you'll only end up captaining Dennis in week 23.

I don’t think they can easily take the title itself away. Though I believe most of his 10,000 men have deserted him.

Other chocolate selections are generally better than Heroes and thus last less than one day.

Those Eclairs sit in the bottom of the tub for months, as nobody fancies a post-Christmas trip to the dentist… still, same goes for the several varieties of hard toffees in Quality Street, including the utterly pointless ones that don’t even have any chocolate on them.
