How do you climb the ranks?
« on: April 10, 2008, 07:52:36 AM »
Hi FOTs,
  Not sure if this is already a topic, but I didn't see one like it in my search.  So ...

  How do you climb the FOT ranks?  I'd like to get to the Steve McQueen With A Skull Face ranking.  Is it all about how many postings you make?  Or does Tom pick based on his own criteria?

  There Will Be GOMPs!

I'm not sure either, but I've heard it has something to do with your Q rating.

I'm so excited to see where this thread goes.

(I wish I had something really funny to say so that Tom will see it, think I'm cool, and boost my ranking)

Per Gordon from North Dakota, Tom is receptive to payola, so that's worth a try.

I used to have more than 3,000 posts. Then Tom found a surveillance tape of a disparaging comment I made about "Waterloo" during our high school 70s Day.

They're all just messing with you, Steve. To move up you need to get a high score on one of the message board arcade games or record a personal best score on each of the games; then it unlocks a profile upgrade and a new batch of celebrities in the profile picture library.

There are easter eggs in the message board code that allow you to get more stars.   But each one works only once per user, so my personal rank will not rise based on the rest of this post:

1. Use the word "sir" in a post.
2. Use the word "junior" in a post.
3. Complement Dogmo.

There are also easter eggs that will remove stars:

1. Make a disparaging comment about our President.
2. Use the word "exactamundo."
3. Be Stephen King.

I just started using Kern Co.'s new wonder drug FOToxinil

higher the dose = higher the rank

may cause heart stoppage
