2 Star General

I think that we should have a new rank of 2 Star general for those with 4000+ points. Blitzaholic currently has 4236 points and is WAY ahead of the 2nd ranked player - this is truly a significant achievement. In the Future we could have a 3 Star for 5000 points etc.

it would be cool (and maybe an instance of ass-kissery) if we were to name the new rank after the person to have first obtained it..?

Name it Admiral. That is not taken and it is a very high rank in the military. I think that should be the name.

How about we ask the 5 or 6 generals if they think we need a higher rank, as they are the only ones it really affects

opne of the requirements for the highest rank could be that the person has to have maintained a score of [4000+] for a certain number of consecutive games

Admiral is a navy rank. Are we fighting at sea in all these maps? No. So 2,3,4 star generals are really military ranks. Brigader general{sp} is 4 star I think.

Admiral just doesn't make sense. Are you a commander of a navy? We fight with ground troops. Maybe we should have the highest ranking person always be ...................... Commander and Chief! Like our shit head President!

Field Marshal was a rank from antiquity that was supreme within the military above all else. But i think it should be between Blitzaholic and the other generals. Also i think the whole rank system in general could use an overhaul in the future with eventual 1rst, and second rankings(ie. Private First Class, Second Luitenant), keeping Captain, Major and Colonel the same to speed up initial promotions and incourage noobs like myself to keep playing.

Well, you could follow the Canadian Military. I think that we have 4 categories of General.

**** General General
*** Lieutenant (Lef-ten-ant) General
** Major-General
* Brigadier General

Admiral is still used, it is the same rank as the General. However, while I like the idea, it is not used for land, it is a naval ranking.

How about Commandant? And above that, Field Marshal? And above that, Master at War, Warlord, Commander-in-Chief, Shogun?

Also, the wikipedia has a page with the various ranks of General in the US Army:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta ... k_insignia

*General of the Army commands the ENTIRE United States Army; this rank is only awarded in times of congressionally-declared war.

***** General of the Army -- Highest; Equivalent of FIELD MARSHAL; Commands ARMY
**** General -- Commands a Theatre (CENTCOM -- Central Command)
*** Lieutenant General -- Commands a Corps (XVIII Airborne Corps)
** Major General -- Commands a Division (82nd Airborne Division)
* Brigadier General -- Lowest; commands a Brigade (504th Parachute Infantry Regiment)

Yeah, there NEED a new rank!!! there are 6 people that are the highest right now, there needs to be a new rank..

My point is that it isn't the number of Generals (currently there are 8.) but the differance ... #1 is more than 1000 points ahead of #2
