It is all a conspiracy to hijack Chris Giddens’ threads.

No seriously, I think all the newer people who were not around when the Grand Admiral’s joke started, do not see it as a joke at all. I think a lot of people seem to think that this rank thing is a sign of acceptance into the community rather than a big joke. Its not surprising really, most Humans have this preoccupation with trying to be accepted. If as Tim Courtney said that being an Admiral was cool, does it not stand to reason that everyone would want to be one? Personally, my motivation of promoting my alias of Lord Insanity to General, was that it makes a silly little pun: General Insanity. Besides everyone is an Admiral. :-)

  Admirals? We don't need no steenking admirals.
 
(...) Now, see, that's a start. A forum full of plain- vanilla admirals? What fun is that? They'd never argue or compete, they'd just compare rubber duckies and have waterfights. Generals are good, but we can surely be even more creative than that. (...) (21 years ago, 11-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)
