I thought God Member was funny, but I can see why some people don't like it. Giant Killer is better anyhow.
I do not think there should be more ranks than we already have, but different would be fun. Here are some Roman rankings (off of this website
http://s_van_dorst.tripod.com/Ancient_Warfare/Rome/hierarchy.html) If we do this, I think we should keep it in Roman without any explanation, make people look it up if they want to know.
New Member-
Tiro (recruit). He was not yet subjected to full rigors of military discipline until he passed out and was registered as a real soldier, no regular pay so presumably living of his enlistment bounty or viaticum.
Junior Member-
Miles (private). He was on basic pay and eligible for fatigue duties. Legionary cavalrymen had higher basic pay, as did their NCO's due to the higher cost of equipment.
orDiscens (trainee). Private in training for special function, basic pay and eligible to fatigue duties.
Full Member-
Centurio ('commander of hundred'
), officer in command of a centuria also ordinarius or title derived from original place in the battle order. There was some variation in seniority and remuneration between these officers.
Senior Member-
Tribunus. There were six of these officers to a legion and usually there were five equestrian tribuni angusticlavii and one senatorial tribunus laticlavius, named thin - or broad striped after the purple lines on their tunics that indicated their social status. The last one was had higher status and functioned as second-in-command of the legion.
orLegatus legionis. A senatorial officer who generally had seen prior service as tribunus and was placed in charge of the legion.
And I like Giant Killer for God Member, but I like the Roman Ranks so much that perhaps we should bump Giant Killer up to 1500 or 2000 (I know that made quite a stir last time, so maybe not…)
