What's the highest possible forum rank?

[Saturos]

Hello all! Just out of curiousity, what's the highest possible ranking a member on the forums can achieve? G-man?, Advisor?, Nihlianth? (I think I spelled that correctly.) Apart from moderators, those guys aren't enemies in HL2. I saw a few striders with over 10,000 posts so does that mean one would need about 500,000 or so to reach such a ranking? (I highly doubt anyone has that much spare time, however.)

highest there is is combine overlord when you reach 20,000

 

[Saturos]

Iron_Cube: Is that a cvar command? What does that generate? Aren't there several combine cannon types?

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Strider penis cannon.

 

[bbson john]

The Boss

It's a new episode2 npc that pretty much no one knows about.

'Gordon Freeman' or perhaps 'G-Man'... hey, have you guys realized that you could call Gordon G-Man? Like a nickname or something.

Please Jesus, no more "OMG, GORDON = G-MAN!" or "G-MAN = GORDON'S DAD FROM TEH FUTAH!" posts.

 

[Connor]

I distinctly remember people talking about Stern's posts/rank in a thread, and a mod saying that the next rank was at 30,000. I dunno, maybe not.

 

[Planetary]

A search for "npc_combine_cannon" on Google gives exactly two results, both Russian. Apparently:

A npc_combine_cannon a gun on the bridge at Diddy with vortom and get seated.

I have no idea what inter dimensional aliens have to do with gangsta rappers.

 

[Narvi]

The highest forum rank is the one on top of your mum.

 

[soulslicer]

[nutcrackr]

Seriously though, it's The Boss.

 

[Danimal]

Danimal.

 

[Xendance]

Please Jesus, no more "OMG, GORDON = G-MAN!" or "G-MAN = GORDON'S DAD FROM TEH FUTAH!" posts.

I would so laugh at you if Episode Three really did reveal Gordon was the G-man.
:x

 

[Kevin]

The highest ranking member, i've seen is Cpt.Stern.

Maybe at 30k posts your God?

 

[CyberPitz]

We all know Stern will be the first to figure out what the next rank is.

 

[Iron_cube]

iron cube, explain yourself please

Particle Benchmark.

 

[Ennui]

I believe there is a rank above Stern's that no-one has reached yet, though it'll be Stern, and I can't remember what it is or when it comes.

Super Moderator does the trick for me though.

 

[Majestic XII]

I'm above titles!

edit: Although, having a Moderator title back in the days did look mighty fine. *dreams away*

 

[Ennui]

You asked to no longer be a moderator though didn't you?

 

[Majestic XII]

You asked to no longer be a moderator though didn't you?

Nah, me and HL2.net got in a fight about a mod community thing for HL2.net that me and my friend developed.

 

[McGooTheWise]

You're all wrong. FagBallz_McGoo is the highest rank. No, I'm serious. (Well... It should be.)

 

[morgs]

Anyone suggested Breen yet?

 

[Kevin]

Umm...Breen is obviously BELOW the combine overlord...even advisor.

 

[losttheskyagain]

It'd be kinda humorous if it was "Scanner" or "Combine Scanner."

All right, maybe not that humorous... It might be Freeman.

I wouldnt find it funny.

 

[357]

The poetic label "One free man" would be the best...

 

[Narvi]

I wouldnt find it funny.

But you have no sense of humour.

 

[Kevin]

Yes, something the Vorts sayabout you in the game is good.

The One Free Man.
The Freeman.
Freeman.
Gordon.
The Combine's retribution.

Or maybe The Rebel Messiah.

 

[losttheskyagain]

I wouldnt find it funny.

Maybe ironic, then?

 

[ríomhaire]

The highest rank is Leech.

 

[Kevin]

Carnivorous leech FTW!





PS: is there an ichtyosaur rank? I haven't seen any yet.
OOO...they should add bullsquid and Garg too

AND i haven't seen a Vortigaunt yet.
