How many points do I have to get to stop being a Minion?

This is a good question.

Well no one really knows tie answer it was just a title put on the list. This was done without planning or ideas but the time has come to decide the future of the title.

I was thinking about a threshold to give another title.

I thought 50(it must be attainable) but what title or rank ? may be 'Sage'
I also thought a title such as 'Inquisitor' for 30 plus questions set?

Perhaps you have an ideas if so I would be pleased to hear them. In fact throw the whole thing open for debate.

Why do we have to progress from being Minions? It's all just a bit of a laugh, not some competition to prove who has a vast scope of knowledge.

Being a Minion is part of the joke as I see it. I'd set the bar at 42 million points to become a QI Apprentice ;-P

Good point, Matt.

Ok I propose that we stick a smiley of the members choice in the space and to heck with ranks

I have tried a few for effect apologies to
Icy
Fizzy
Lil
I will of course change them.

Would it be worth putting the scoreboard in alphabetical order, so that the positions are less important?

That is a good idea but I do think however that there will always be a slight element of competition, I would like to know what the others think of the idea.

If we're all going to be minion's then there's no point to the column.

I think 50 is a fair target to change rank, doubling for each increment. (50, 150, 350, 750)

However, what do we call these increments ? Do we have double barrelled names for people who set questions ?

So many questions - so little time.

If we're going to have smileys, I'd like to bagsy

I like my thank you Bob

*giggles*

I quite like the


Thank you, Bob!

I am trying to start a trend to minimuse the potential problem about ranking. I hope every one will choose a smiley soon.

Let the scores say it all forget rank go with smileys what do you think, choose a trade mark.

There has to be a on 2legs's bitm there just has to be!

Ok done

Hmmm - what could I choose.

Let me know or is cider the hint

I quite liked the title minion

If we're going with smileys, though there can be only one

Hows that
