Member Groups?

[merry'sgirl]

what do you guys think the member groups should be? remind you that they have to do with The Lord of the Rings, this is what i have right now...

Administrator: God
Global Moderator: Elven Leader
Moderator: Elven Warrior
New Member: Gollum Food (i really like this one)
Junior Member: Bar Keep
Full Member: Ranger
Senior Member: Steward *changed to Elven Archer*
God: King *changed to Maia*

the ones i really like are Gollum Food and Bar Keep.

there are some i dont like that much, and was wondering if you guys know any better ones.

Global mod or mod should be DWARF! ;D LONG LIVE GIMLI!
I think that one title should be galadriel, like the queen of the elves.

I don't really care what groups/ranks you have, so long as you eventually divvy-out some 'special' ranks to us loyal first-registered members! haha All the other boards I'm on do that. *hint hint nudge nudge*

Update:

I have changed Administrator to Council of Elrond

I think there's been a sort of misunderstanding here. Are there groups and ranks something different?

The rank is when you cumulate a number of posts and you advance.
A group is a ... group of members sorted by some special qualities.

I was thinking and I finally came up with a result. Don't get enthusiastic, is something but not something big ;D

Normal Kingdom Ranks:

0-30 posts 'Gollum Food'
31-60 posts 'Moria Miner'
61-120 posts 'Mordor Maggot'
121-240 posts 'Lorien Archer'
241-480 posts 'Hobbit Farmer'
481-960 posts 'Rohan Rider'
961-1600 posts 'Imladris Warrior'
1601-2600 posts 'Orthanc Wizard'
2601-3600 posts 'Gondor Steward'
3601-4600 posts 'Fangorn Immortal'

Unique Kingdom Ranks: (awarded every month by elbereth for excellent contributions tot the forum)

Gollum
Shelob
Haldir
Pippin
Bilbo
Durin's Bane
Faramir
etc (here can be extended)

Mods and Admins:

Admin- Valinorian (Valar)
ex: Manwe, Varda, Este, Orome etc

Super Mod- Maiar (Maia)
ex: Thom Bombadil, Goldberry, Feanor, Gleowyn etc

Mod- Ainur (Ainur)
ex: Gandalf, Elrond, Frodo, Treebeard etc

Observation: I know some characters don't belong to the category they've been included but bare in mind above are just example.


As for the groups: let's use the kingdoms of the third age:
Lorien
Imladris
Orthanc
Meduseld
Minas Tirith
Moria
Minas Morgul
Shire
Fangorn

Something to bear in mind, if you find it useful let me know. Hope you like the idea itself.

Unfortunately we don't have enough members to award anyone special rankings right now. Might be a good idea for the future if we can manage to hang on to members. Thanks for all of your suggestions Rumil.
