I thought I'd explain everyone the forum ranking system. The more posts you make, the higher ranking you get (except admins and officers who have a fixed rank. Admins have large gold stars when they post, officers have 5 large blue stars). Since our guild's name is Latin for Knights of Truth, I thought it fitting to base the forum ranks off of the ranks in the Roman Legions. Below are the requirements for each rank and a brief explanation of the real ranks in the Roman army.
Tirone (0 posts, 1 star): The basic new recruit. A Tirones could take up to 6 months before becoming a full Milites.
Milite Gregarius (10 posts, 1 star): The basic private level foot soldier
Imagnifier (50 posts, 2 stars): Carried the Standard(banner) bearing the image of the Emperor as a constant reminder of the troop's loyalty to him.
Optio (100 posts, 3 stars): One for each Centurion (59), they were appointed by the Centurion from within the ranks to act as his second in command.
Centurion (250 posts, 4 stars): Each Legion had 59 or 60 centurions, one to command each centuria of the 10 cohorts. They were the backbone of the professional army and were the career soldiers who ran the day to day life of the soldiers as well as issuing commands in the field. They were generally moved up from the ranks, but in some cases could be direct appointments from the Emperor or other higher ranking officials.
Primus Pilus (500 posts, 5 stars): The "First File" was the commanding centurion of the first cohort and the senior centurion of the entire Legion. Service in this position also allowed entry into the equestrian social class upon retirement.
Note: Rankings are subect to change
