Chris +10 XP from your gods (crash of thunder)

This is the final list (I know you know this)
 1. Initiate 
 2. Novice 
 3. Apprentice 
 4. Page (as opposed to a Scribe) 
 5. Java Junky 
 6. Student
 7. Scribe  (you can switch Scribe and Student around if you like)
 8. Scholar 
 9. Bean 
10. Commodity (i thought it was better than Guru, Sage perhaps?)

I've told this to thabenksta privately. At one point, he said to me "I dont think anyone is going to strive to be a commodity", well I don't want to be a mentor(i am my own protoge) or a "guru".

 

Well I personally don't like student, scholar, bean or commodity. In fact I like the list I posted the best. But whatever, I just tried to do it the simple fair way, but if you want to hand pick the list yourself, do what you have to do.

 Commodity? i liked 'Oracle' better.. just my $0.02

 Well you wouldn't be striving to a mentor or guru, you'd be striving to become an oracle, which I would think would be a more respectable goal than becoming a bean or commodity ;-)

They are just names for levels though, it's not exactly an integral part of the site, and hardly worth getting all worked up about :)

If you guys want to change them it's fine with me, although I did spend nearly an entire minute of my life coming up with them...

I'm paraphrasing just a bit, but look for yourselves to see what I mean.
  cheers,

The word comes from William S. Burrough's book Junky. Although it was originally published under the name "Junkie" and pen name William Lee, either spelling could be considered correct. I prefer "junky".
