Hmm, I was actually thinking about red Architect and gold for honored as well. As for the multiple colored rank idea, I like it although it seems unfair to other ranks.
By the way, OP is #9
RE: new rank system [reproposal] - Aeonex - 05-04-2012
I like light green for members, white for guests, aqua for OPit, gold for honored, red for architect, red/gold for honored architect, OP dark blue, SOP purple and Admin as Clownfish colors. Maybe some dark green instead of light for member. I want to see green, blue and red! D:

@fire right thanks for the correction lol *gets out sand paper and chisel* as for the unfairness, most of the people on the server will either be OP or in the member rank. It's not really unfair because the other ranks will have their own perks, lets let the unique perk to being a member be that you choose which color "member" is :D
Also, we're gonna get a ton of that ONE color if we only allow one member rank to exist... it'll be light blue all over again for ...lets say dark green for example x.x as much as aeon likes green, I'm sure he'll get sick of it as well (though that is a pretty awesome color).
btw the reason you guys agree about the red and gold for honored/architect is cause I adapted my rainbow plan to the majority's ideas that posted in this thread before x.x
@aeon so... your thoughts on the proposal about multiple member ranks? Or was saying only one color for members your way of disagreeing with it? o.o

Hmm, I do think the RS ranks would be redundant... since really RS School will have it's own RS ranks. There's little reason carrying another rank, or set of ranks like that in the main world. Also, don't forget, it won't only be a stream of green coloured ranks, there will be creative worlds, RS school, and AW as well. Hopefully if those worlds are made more accessible, or promote/ mention them more, players will explore further instead of sticking to main world (a lot of players do that until they are ready anyway, but a lot of the time many just don't know about the alt worlds).
I don't think we should worry about having too many players with the same coloured rank, if we do we may end up pushing forward a set of ranks which would be doing the opposite of what we are trying to do with these new ranks in the first place, which is to simplify things drastically.
If we did do anything like different member ranks, I think it should be more for the player's amusement... possibly a rank/ title (not an actual rank) they could assign themselves, rather than something the OPs would have to promote and review them for. In my eyes, the only point in adding an "artist" or "miner" rank would be to add a more customised feel to the player anyway, and if their tastes in building change (kinda innevitable), then they would always be able to change that themselves, if there was an option for it. The only issue with that idea is how it would coincide with the Architect rank...

@aeon that isn't what is called a compromise, that is a rephrasal of a previously proposed rank system. I think if this member multicolor thing doesn't gain support we should just go with what was previously agreed upon, not try to merge something that isn't liked into the old plan xD so far apparently only me and fire like it, so I guess I should just give up on it
@james *shrugs* I was just trying to give people that aren't good enough or motivated enough to become the other ranks some color choice to make our server less hostile. There are a lot of players that consistently build what we now consider builder2 quality stuff and unless they somehow earn our trust/help others (which there is talk of making that harder to achieve), then they have no option other than member... can't even decide for themselves. Perhaps also give a few options to those not interested in "earning" the higher ranks too =) we wish to exemplify "everyone's welcome" after all =P (if others can use that phrase loosely to push their ideas, I can too haha)
There will be periods of time where the alt worlds with different rank colors will get attention, but like it or not they won't keep attention if the players don't find their uniqueness interesting. Keep hope of the alt worlds alive, but really I don't see that as a reason not to give the majority of our members a little perk when every other rank has theirs.
It served the added bonus of colorful chat, and I don't think giving members a choice of rank color is that overly complex >.> "ok good you're not a bot sent to harass us :D what's your favorite color?" and if they choose one taken by higher ranks, "second favorite? this has a purpose I promise!" And if they don't answer we can just make it at the discretion of the OP promoting... or we can simply have a sign in spawn saying "when you're promoted to member, you may request having your rank be one of the following colors:" then list them and just don't allow mind changes after the first day. Either way, I meant it to be something fun, I don't think it adds complexity.
Again, if it doesn't gain popularity I'm fine with the idea dying... maybe it can come back later if the ranks really do turn out as I fear and others want change.

I think a lot of the time we assume that what we want is what the regular players of the server want. We give our players far too little credit to be honest. Custom rank colors may be a good idea. Bu is it a necessary idea? We aren't the ones who will be using these titles, and I think until we can pressure more non-OPs onto this forum (which I believe is crucial to the future of this server) to give their input, we should hold off on making a decision.
RE: new rank system [reproposal] - 9bjames - 05-09-2012
Personally, I actually feel the custom colour thing would be a pretty good idea. I was against the whole thing that Ash said with artist, miner etc, because it creates more complications.... but something like having multiple coloured member titles, where they would just choose one colour, and then that would be what they kept (maybe not for the rest of their days as member... possibility to change?), then I think it would be worth doing.
I just don't think we should have too many other ranks which are specialised, or which have requirements. What I was saying with the whole Alt worlds ranks was just to compensate for the possibility of the server being flooded with one colour rank, if we made these other worlds more interesting, or more available, then players who had other preferences could spend more time there etc, but I don't think that's happened much as of yet because of the accessibility of the worlds...
