Feel free to add to any discussion here in the Entrance Hall, or start your own. Once we get to know you, we'll get you promoted, so you can roam around the entire forum, at will.

Good morning
Thank you a lot, I feel honored. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
So let's start work.
Thank you. Better down some lager this evening to celebrate. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Just wanted to say thank you for the promotion, only just noticed. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
Cheers
How do you get promoted and how long does it take? Also, how do you find out. I am sorry because I know that you must get asked this a thousand times. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
Upon looking at my post above I realize what I am http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif, a fool. I didn't read the FAQ closely enough. My apologies. I'd send send banana bread as a token of forgiveness but it doesn't email well. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif Don't sweat it Dhepee. At least you figured it out. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
Welcome to the Org, btw. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif Two questions Gregoshi: First was looking back over the read this first thread and it said that only junior members can still post polls. This has changed, right, because I posted a poll, and I'm not a junior member.
Also, and I hate to be a bother, but how long do I need to wait to become a senior patron. To my knowledge I haven't caused any of these, http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/argue.gif , and I've posted quite a bit. I would like to be able to get my wings http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif and move around a bit, if that's okay. Thanks.
Hey Gregoshi, thanks for the bump to senior patron.
First I get the Senior Patron, then I get the Money, then I get the Power, and Then I get the women. That's how it works right? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif
Okay - i dont know if this is the correct procedure / protocol but here goes.....
Bio
Im Tim Deeming (aka DuckofWar aka Antigonid aka TimD), 45 years old, living in Bewdley - one of the most beautiful small towns in England - on the banks of the river severn (englands longest river).
I am a clan Elder (I was elected I didnt lamely form my own clan) and forum moderator for the 'Lamertamers' clan (now renamed to LTGamers).
I used to be the Forum Mod and Chat mod for a 10,000 person online community. (www.sundayleague.com)
I do a little 'fun' artwork (www.dukz.co.uk) on my own site and have designed hundreds of 'siggy' images for ppl.
I am a regular poster at the .com but am incredibly dissatisfied with the juvenile content of the forums there and the immoderate moderators.
I view these forums very regularly but am hampered in my inputting to them by the wierd 'access' rules that you guys apply.
Can you please put me out of my misery and allow me access to the main forums?
Alternately I'd be happy to donate a kidney if that helps to 'sway' your decision....
cheers
I joined this forum because the .com was a little more fractious too. This is a much better environment, less flaming and general weirdness, also the mods don' lock every third thread.Quote:

Hello Antigonid. Thanks for giving us a try. That is a nice resume you have there. Oh, and no kidney is required of you.
If you can tolerate our weird posting policies for a few days and participate in topics here in the Entrance Hall, you won't need to worry about them ever again. The idea is the discourage troublemakers and drive-by flamers/spammers from getting into our main forums. There is a wide variety of topics here in the Entrance Hall as nothing is really off-topic here. We've got everything from how to do screen shots in game to mod comments/questions to a post about religious beliefs. If there isn't a topic here for you, start your own. If you do need to respond to something in another forum, post it here and ask the moderators to copy it to the appropriate topic.
There is no magic post count or time period to get a promotion to post in the other forums. Nor do you have to ask us moderators nicely for a promotion. For most patrons it takes about 1-4 days.
Dhepee, the check was already in the mail when you asked us nicely for a promotion. You had to wait a long time because you've posted a lot and we moderators have been busy with real life issues of late. The when of a promotion is often a timing issue. You had to wait a few days, while LestaT got bumped up in 1 day. It is not that LestaT is better than you, he happened to join and post right before we reviewed the list of Junior Patrons.
BTW, if you thank me for a promotion, you must thank others too. My fellow moderators Kukri and MonkeyMan and I must agree to a promotion before we pass it on to Tosa, who has the fun of actually making the promotion.
Polls were originally resticted for fear of everyone going poll-crazy. Tosa eased that restriction after the forum readme was composed.
Thanks for the promo guys
Now, which forum to cause havoc in first? MWAHAHA http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Gregoshi,
Didn't mean to imply that you were slow. Thanks for the check. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
Kukri MonkeyMan Tosa
Still red-faced....the danger of post while at work is that you either email your boss about the relative merits of CMAA's or you leave something out of a post.:dizzy:
Let me give thanks where thanks is due. To not just Gregoshi but also, Kukri, MonkeyMan, Tosa. Thanks guys for the promotion. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Thanks a lot for the Promo Guys http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Hey Thanks Mates i didn't get on over the weekend because my bro was up from down south and i was busy so double thanks to all that had me upgraded to a senior patron
Thanks Dessa http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif hello to all those member rooms
I hope I am not sounding too agressive but can I please get promoted? I have been posting a lot and it would be nice to spread my knowledge all around the forum. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Gregoshi, i know i have been promoted many thimes, but can i please be promoted to senior memeber http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Can I be promoted to senior patron? I thought I had the matter resloved when I exchanged messages with Gregoshi, but I dont know what happen.. So let me say it again, my orginal account name here was DoggFood, since I've registered here I've changed my name to InDaKnight, Kenchi InDa to be exact. I would have liked to been promoted to senior patron without having to go to this forum and asking.
InDaKnight,
My apologies. I thought I had passed some information on to you but apparently not. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif Please send an email to Tosa(tosainu@totalwar.org) with the request to merge your DoggFood account into your InDaKnight account. As for the clan sig, you will need to talk to baz about that.
Omar,
We are working on it. We are a little behind where we want to be with promotions, so we ask for some patience on your part until we catch up. It should only be another day or two to catch up.
bhm,
Why do you want to be a Senior Member? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
*koff*
erm..... Greg & the guys.....
any chance of getting access to the REAL forums please?
This is a real forum. Now my feelings are hurt. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gifQuote:

Secondly, my second question, http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif How do I go about being promoted to Junior Member, I know that I need a recommend, but am not sure how they come about?
Blatent, self promotion. I am a temperate poster, not given to wild excesses, and I have contributed as best I can to the threads in several forum. I would like to join in the threads in the tavern. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif (I hope that smoking is allowed in the tavern, otherwise the emoticon is in trouble)
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif Good God, all of a sudden I'm a junior member. Thanks to all the mods.
I kneel before the alter and swear fealty to my liege lords, promising before god and man to faithfully give 40 days service and provide myself with horses, arms, armour, and attendants as is required of a junior member, and toprotect your estates and good names.
I think we need an oath...makes it much more realistic especially for the MTW players. Now I'm off to slaughter some peasents in your names.
Gregoshi, may I ask why I didn't get promoted in the 9-17-03 promotions? I have posted as many or more posts as most of the people on that list? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/confused.gif
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/redface.gif
Because this moron of a moderator thought he collected your name when you first posted here but managed not to do so (I make a list of each new patron as I read their first post).
Aside from the fact that I have the attention span of a gnat and the memory of a Commodore 64, the only lame, rice paper thin excuse I can provide is that this last promotion list was one of the longest we've had in a loooong time and it was easy to overlook one name missing from the list.
***** Moderator Error - Reboot *****
Sorry Omar, we'll get you fixed up. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif
Good man Gregoshi. Thanks http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
Thanks for the promo guy... *sniff* oh you guys *sniff* http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif
A THOUSAND THANKS FOR THE PROMOTIONHEALTH TO EVERYBODY
Hang in there Omar, we are a little out of synch at the moment. You've not been forgotten - we've just been tied up with reality...which is nice but can be a bother at times.
All I have is time....... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
Is promotion based done individually or in groups according to a set schedule?
No set schedule. We can put out promotion lists daily if the moderators' lives allow it or about twice a week like it is currently. The number of Junior Patrons on a promotion list depends upon how many we feel we've evaluated enough. Sometimes there is one patron on the list, sometimes a dozen. In the past month there has been a large influx of new patrons. Anyone have an theories as to why? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/confused.gif
Well, I just got MTW. There, now you only have to figure out why there has been a large influx of new patrons minus one, in the past month. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gifQuote:

Hi Gregoshi,
Just want to put my name in the promotions line. No stress though. I've been enjoying the Entrance Hall http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
I hopped over there because the .com got fairly awful. Lots of flaming, then long discussions of the flame, that only fanned the flames. It got to the point where people were referring my game related questions to the org, so I cut out the middle man and joined.
Same reason for me, I found my way here via Respawn UK because Giskard is a teammate of mine from another game (Mechwarrior 4:Mercenaries). I had MTW for a while but failed to get into it because the strategic game was tough for me, but now that I have some clue what I'm doing I loaded up the game and am enjoying it now.Quote:

Seriously... you have to post. The Entrance hall is where you are evaluated on whether you can play nice or whether you will throw sand in our faces...
no posts... no evaluation
no evaluation... no promotion

Gregoshi is your friend, lol. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/idea.gif

Scipio;

Scipio... I am just a lowly Tavern moderator... I am just visiting the Entrance Hall... I have 0% influence over the promotions... and the dread rating of a marshmellow.
Have you read the New ? Please read this first thread??
Part of it reads...That is all that is required although the timeframe for promotion varies, depending on how busy the Entrance Hall moderators are...Quote:

I've committed to memory Tito's rules and abjurations concerning Gerbil insertion. So, What's a guy gotta do to be promoted to Senior Member?
Did I mess up the secret handshake again? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif
Whatever it is, you haven't done it. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Hey Greg thanx for the promo finally power is mine http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
Hey Thanks for the promotion (Umm, have you got any mouthwash, perchance?)
Hi Gregoshi http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
I think that I've been promoted to Senior Patron (at least that's what it says on my icon now), but I just tried to post to the tavern and got a you do not have permission to reply to that topic message. I'm not sure whether this is a function of my membership status, where I tried to post, or perhaps a random glitch. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/confused.gif
Senior Patrons cannot post to the Tavern. Fear not, your time as a SP is usually about a week long. You need not do anything special. It is simply a waiting period before letting you stir things up in the Tavern (a rather volitile place at times). In the meantime, you can post in the other forums. When you come to the Org, check your group level. Your promotion to Junior Member will not be announced. Once you are a JM you will have posting rights to the Tavern.
Wow, I just noticed my promotion to senior patron. I cant imagine what I've done to deserve this honor http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif but thanks just the same.
Chris
New worlds have opened to me Many thanks and a thousand blessings on your troops in battle May your enemies flee with their tails between their legs like the sons of dogs that they are
Now I've been promoted I'm free to take over the boards muahahahaha. What, why's everyone looking at me like that http://ewb3.ithium.net/ewbII/html/emoticons/shifty.gif.
