Senior officers (colonel and above) make up 1.6% of the rankings while the brigadiers and up make up .5%.
7% of current players are cooks..too many cooks and not enough soliders it seems to me!
Fact is, we have too many officers.
How about we make 2,000 points the cut off for lieutenant? This would give us a 5% officer base..which seems a bit more reasonable to me.
CC could add in levels of NCO's to cover 1,600 to 2,000 and I would like to see something like...
800 = Cadet
900 = Private
1100 = Private 1st Class
1300 = Corporal
1400 = Corporal 1st Class
1600 = Sergeant
1800 = Sergeant 1st Class
1900 = Sergeant Major
2000 = Lieutenant
2300 = Captain
2500 = Major
3000 = Colonel
3500 = Brigadier
4000 = General
4500 = Field Marshall
I also adjusted the lower end, as it is equally ridiculous to have, for example, more sergeants than privates. The 100 point spread of sergeant majors would reflect their rarity in the army..I think it would be quite a nice niche rank to have. Colonel would become a real challenge to aim for, while we could count our true elite (Generals) on two hands.
What say you?
Your ranks do not bear close scrutiny as you have missed out the hidden ranks they represent.
I have placed those details below.
800 (or less) = Proof that there is sometimes a case for eugenics (zeta grade)
900 = Requires constant Savlon attention for knuckles AKA cannon fodder (epsilon grade, requires soma fix daily)
1100 = Normally found at back of class with oddly sloping forehead but good cannon fodder all the same (epsilon grade, requires soma occasionally)
1300 = Also found at back of class reading book, but not realising it is upside down (epsilon grade, no soma)
1400 = Well, we all need good dishwashers (delta grade)
1600 = Struggles manfully to keep up with basic grade (delta+ grade)
1800 = Manages basic grade and looks down nose at 1600 and below (low end gamma grade)
1900 = Wishes they were a 2000 (high end gamma grade, wishes to be a beta)
2000 = Thanks the Lord daily they aren't one of those below (low end beta with delusional moments)
2300 = Knows they are better than those below so ignores the thanking the Lord (typical bourgeois beta)
2500 = Feels comfortable with beta existence.
3000 = Knows they are members of Aristos and normally driven to higher (Alpha grade...of course)
3500 = Has all the attitudes of Aristo and whipping the serfs (Alpha)
4000 = Pretty relaxed because has all the life advantages like skill, intelligence, breeding capabilities etc (Alpha+)
4500 = Sits at top of cc food chain, sometimes incorrectly but an Alpha++ all the same, if only due to cunning and wiliness.
