Achieving Rank or Being Promoted on Iboats

[NBE]

Just got to wondering after being around here almost 3 years, has it ever been publicized how many posts are need to achieve each level of rank? Or is that a well-kept secret?

Guess I have nothing better to do this evening and couldn't find out using the search feature. Just got to wondering is all.

Re: Achieving Rank or Being Promoted on Iboats

It used to be noted in the FAQ section, but I can't find it now . . . Something like 2500 for Commander, 3000 for Captain, 4000 for Rear Admiral and so on, below and above that. Don't see it in the Forum help list either . . .

Edit: Where'd you find that Spinner?

Can Ensign be changed to Midshipman for those of us from the Colonies? (That's one post nearer for me!) 8)

Re: Achieving Rank or Being Promoted on Iboats

Right Phil !! Also demotion should be introduced when producing too much drivel ...just like in real life! New rank could be 'drivel-zapper' ? Or master-carpenter to appoint those who will have to walk the plank.....oh those good old days 8)
