Initiate?

Does anyone understand the "Initiate" thing under the usernames? I started out with Poker Face, then You, and now it's Depend on You. Does it have to do with how much you post?

Yes. It changes when you get a certain amount of posts. Older songs are for less posts, and newer songs are for more posts.

Oh, not a problem. I just moved it to it's rightful location. I'm a mod and place things in the wrong forum all the time.

As for your initiate, you're correct: it does have to do with posts. You start off at Poker Face (Ayu's first song) when you have 0 posts. As you post more your initiate status changes. They go through her discography chronologically. The only person who knows what post it takes to reach what initiate is Impactbreaker, I believe. Maybe mnskalnm knows, too, but I'm not sure.

Goes by the number of posts. The more posts the better the initiate.

Nah, it doesn't go by 30s. Some members on here have over 16,000 posts. Ayu doesn't have enough songs to cover it if it went by 30s. Though I am curious, now...

And there are some initiates that are reserved only for mods. For example, I have kiss o kill. That's an initiate that regular members can't get; it skips them.

skal has a very intricate math equation she uses to determine when initiates change...

I don't ask questions. I just believe in magic.

It is very interesting. But I think that is very stupid when people post a bunch of crap just to reach their favorite initiate. It's not important how much do you post, but what do you post.
Anyway, I'm sure mods keep secret from us, so it can be interesting If we ask Impactbreaker, will we get our answer?

lol magic... most of the time when my initiate changes, I only noticed... then I'll be like "oh, it changed!" I remember 6000 posts gets you pink stars (thanks emiko! ) and as long as LOVE 'n' HATE or Days don't get reserved by any mod, I'll be all right!

"winding road" is not reserved. It is available for regular users but it requires a lot of posts.
