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. :-)

I know it’s a joke, look at my post when I promoted myself. Can anyone take following line seriously?

Within a month, Admiral Wells had signed several new amendments, passed new laws, hired 50 talented employees, nearly erased corruption, and stabilized the empire!”

It’s just a joke, you don’t get more replies to MOCs you make when you’re an Admiral, or whatever. Just look at my pod, for example.

Can we just drop the whole thing and start having fun again?
