ummm, yeah, the new ranks kinda suck. A member advances from Jedi Council Member to Sith Devotee? sounds like a demotion. Isn't Lightside is to padawan as darkside is to devotee?

Well, seeing as how the two really cool titles (Sith Apprentice and Sith Lord) are the Sith, it would be a step up.

Or, since you've spammed so much by then, you've started a new path to the Darkside. :D

What's that mean, anyway? Eternal Wookiee?

By the way, SotS: nice new look you got there. Very awe inspiring.

Probably not.
Hah, by the time I make 2000-2500 posts, they'll increase the minimum to 3500 just to piss me off. And, I'll probably end up with "SD.Net's Resident Red Shirt" for my troubles anyway. :D

From the DarkSide sourcebook. Actually "Sith Witch" is supposed to be in there but most of the members aren't female. I would have used Sith Apprentice and Sith Lord but both are the exclusive property of Darth Wong.
What about "Black Knight of the Sith" to replace the Emperor's Hand rank?

IIRC, the Emperor's Hands aren't Sith.

Isn't "redshirt" also slang for a Canadian mountie??? (quite fitting, considering Darth Wong's nationality...)

Lurker here too, but I decided to try and contribute instead of lounging around like a lazy asshole. That, and the custom title is too sweet to pass up...

There was a thread about it in the mod forum where Chewbacca was asking what his title should be, and NecronLord suggested Lex Wookos - Law of the Wookiees.

What is this? Only AdmiralKanos and Sceptre could come up with their own titles?

I've lost faith in the new Admins... :cry:
