Should we have a new rank between Miserable Mariner and [Custom Title] for Book the Twelfth? I think we probably should, as we have titles for all the other books.
My suggestions:
Counterfeit/Confused Concierge V----- Volunteer/Villain Volunteer/Villain G----- Guest A----- Arsonist (Atrocious? Awful? Apologetic? Alleged?) L----- Librarian Melancholy/Mistaken Murderer

How many posts would one need to get this title? 6000? But then fewer posts would be required for a custom title...and there wouldn't be anywhere to stick in a title for book 13, which we would also definitely need...hmm. Unless the whole system was changed (which would require a lot of work and would be quite confusing), I don't see how this would work. I mean, we could stick this in at 6000, but come next fall, we'd have problems.

As I've said in the AA thread, I like the Concierge idea. I also like the Librarian and Arsonist ideas. I'd put more thought into this, but at this moment, I'm covered in mud. stupid soccer

Why don't these all just become Custom Titles?

How about Ambiguous Arsonist, or Loathsome Librarian? Or Parental Poisoner, in honor of Olaf's parents' alleged death?

I mean, we could stick this in at 6000, but come next fall, we'd have problems. Personally - and this is only my idea, bear in mind - I thought that [Custom Title] could be the title for B13. However, you're right, there still wouldn't be as many posts required for a custom title even if we did that. You could just ignore the problem, I guess, as it still takes quite a while to make that many posts, or alternatively, you could shove back some of the later titles. For example: Vindictive Villager- 1,000+ Splenetic Surgeon- 1,500+ False Fortune-Teller- 2,000+ Xenial Xylophone- 3,000+ Miserable Mariner- 4,000+ [Book 12 Rank]- 5,000+ Custom Title- 6670+ That still leaves large, increasing gaps between each title (and having three 500-post intervals might ease people in to the harsh task of reaching the later titles). Might be more trouble than it's worth, though. Edit: And I think "Ambiguous Arsonist" fits the book very well. "Gullible Guest" also makes sense, as many of the guests were very gullible, particularly in the later chapters.

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. And then next year, it can be 6000+ for B12. Unless we decide to add more so that there are titles every 500 posts, but that would be a bit...extreme.

I like the 5000-post intervals idea. When Book 13 comes out, we could move back the "Xenial Xylophone" title to 2500, and the "Miserable Mariner" title to 3000, and so on, in order to make room for Book 13's custom title. Or we could just add in the B13 title at 6000.

I agree, that seems like it would work quite well. I was thinking that maybe we could get rid of the Nasty Newcomer rank, but then I didn't like that idea much.

What if we went with 300 posts intervals, and gradually switched in 500 posts?
I like the Arsonist idea too.

My favourite two are 'Alleged Arsonist' and 'Counterfeit Concierge'

I sent "Gruesome Guest" to Dong and this is what he said
"Guest won't work, because there are already guests on this forum."
