I've got an extra Duke

[swpalmer]

Hey cool... I'm now a God.
<---

I guess that's a good enough accomplishment for the day.  I'm sleepy.

Hey.. aren't I supposed to know everything now and have ultimate power? Instead I just feel tired...  I don't think this God thing is working properly

[kevglass]

Crikey, they'll let anyone in that GOD club now won't they?

So, are you going to be a GOOD god or an EVIL god?

All praise swpalmer

Frankly, I dispute this whole god business.  I mean, after all, to become a god you basically have to talk a lot.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but apart from a talkative patch a few thousand years ago, God has basically kept his own counsel for most of the umpteen billions of years since he created the universe.

According to those criteria, I must be a god as well, since:

1.  I've been around for ages
2.  I keep my own counsel (most of the time)
3.  I smote those who annoy me, down with large bolts of lightning (well, I'd like to... does that count??).

I think the God status should be changed to Pac People or something similar -- obviously denoting a permanent state of "running of the mouth", or "verbal diarrhea".

Welcome to our small club!

You guys post too much, stop it.

Congratulations - another arbitrary milestone reached!  I've just realised I'm a God too!  Given that there are five of us now, I guess all monotheistic religions must have been wrong.  Ah well.

Disclaimer: In my case at least please don't confuse Divinity with expertise.  I've just been consistently posting here for a very, very long time...

I was a god once. Didn't really work out for me, what with the overintepretation of what I've said and the crusades and all. =/

[nickdotjava]

Well, I'm still a believer in the Religion of Nick.  Not sure if I want to be part of the JavaGaming religion.  But am I allowed to be part of two religions?  The Religion of Nick states that Nick may do whatever he pleases.

I want in! Where do I sign up?

To all of the "gods", welcome to Ghostly Orthodox.  Of course, I still own the one ring....wonder how much I can get for it on eBay.....

All you have to do is believe.  And there are also opennings for both major and minor deities.  Just tell me what you want to be.  The doctrine is in the link on my signature.    Much more doctrine coming this fall.

I'd like to be the God of Spelling "Opening" Right. I see that position is still free.

[AndersDahlberg]

Yay, I would really like to be the gninepo deity!  

Ok, yes - that was lame  

[nickdotjava]

You've already violating the first rule of the Religion of Nick.  It states that Nick is always right.  

Rule #2: Thou shalt not use DirectX.

So, how many posts are needed to get each Duke?  I someday hope to be a YABB God.  But I first must become a Senior Member.

[swpalmer]

You need >500 to be a God.
I see senior members with 3xx, not sure if 300 is the cutoff or not.

[GergisKhan]

The cutoff for senior is 250.  I know because I've just got it.

Now that I can lord it over people (Muahahahahahahaha!) it's time to get back to work on my game and the Wiki!

Actually, there was another post about the quality of people with this many posts.  Having been around this long, I can only hope that I'm of SOME help to the community, giving me some credibility and weight.  In the end, I think we're all repositories of knowledge, and with each passing Duke we gain a bit more.  

Then again, I could just be really tired and making stuff up to arbitrarily increase my post counter.
