Or rather I came along just when The Ridge left the island.

What was your handle on the DCF?
Who is this Speaker to Animals?
Speaker-to-Animals (or later Chmeee) is a fictional character in the Ringworld series of books, written by Larry Niven.
In Ringworld, Speaker-to-Animals is a junior diplomat who is trained to deal with other species without reflexively killing them. He is recruited by Nessus, a Pierson's Puppeteer, as a member of an expedition to explore the Ringworld.[1][2]
In the first book, he had not yet earned a name. So he was called by his job title. For Kzin, a diplomat to other species is called a Speaker to Animals.Speaker is a Kzin, a member of an extraterrestrial race of large tiger-like beings. He is a trained diplomat posted to the United Nations. His title (in place of a name he has yet to earn) is a polite reference to how Kzinti refer to non-Kzin races.
Nothing that comes to my mind. The only thing that I can remember was the Culper Spy Ring.DrYouth wrote:We seem to have an American Revolutionary war theme going here...
Did the American militia have any noteworthy titles?
They probably haven't changed that much.

Awards for contributions such as political insight, humour, thought provoking, great photos, great knowledge etc A meritocracy.
Maybe awards for negative contributions as well although that could just create division.

Happy to admit it was a non starter. Just thought merit was a better way to proceed. Quality over quantity was my point.GrumpyCatFace wrote:Dude, you just proposed that we move to Reddit.Montegriffo wrote:How about nominations and votes based on merit and contributions rather than just how many pointless posts and memes a member makes.

I hate the "like/dislike" buttons on Reddit. It just feels so arbitrary and plays into favoritism. Plus, it helps to create a cultural of an echo chamber.Montegriffo wrote:Happy to admit it was a non starter. Just thought merit was a better way to proceed.

The funny thing is we all know there is a market for this. He's a bit of a celebrity after all. I have no problems with this issue in particular. It's a little cheesy but hey capitalism amirite?
Now I have to look you up, man.TheReal_ND wrote:AtomicMan88. I actually only posted once and got 17 down votes last I checked. I'm planning on going back when I get bored browsing /pol/ to continue trolling. I'm not really even trolling that sub Reddit though. My plan is to civily disagree with everything and see how long it takes to get banned.
