Stupid but Quick Question Regarding Signatures

[wettrout]

Maybe this isn't the right area to place this, but I wasn't sure where else to put it.

So... my quick question:

I've noticed several people have Noble titles in their sigs, and I am reasonably certain that these come from the Patents of Nobility cards sent out with T5 purchases. What I am curious about is the non-noble awards such as SEH, MCG, TAS, etc. Can someone tell me where those are coming from? Also, is there somewhere else to get those Patents? Thanks.

CORRECT. Though they have come with T5 purchases, other purchases from FFE, becoming a paid Moot-member here on CotI (with Patent Card commensurate with the level of financial-support), as well as a few other cases.

What I am curious about is the non-noble awards such as SEH, MCG, TAS, etc. Can someone tell me where those are coming from?

The SEH and MCG have also come from FFE as rewards for purchases, (et al), as Marc has seen fit (many from purchases of his novel "Agent of the Imperium". The TAS Cards came from T5 purchases and T5 dice.

Also, is there somewhere else to get those Patents?

I believe Marc is still giving them out for purchases on FFE (especially T5 Dice), but the easiest way (I believe) is to purchase a yearly membership of support here on CotI (as a Moot-membership), and one will generally get a Patent Card at a level appropriate to the level of support. Be advised that I believe Marc had told me once that all of the Countships have already been given out, and the number of remaining Viscountcies are few.

If you purchase a Moot-title, you can send a request to Marc at his FFE e-mail address for a title associated with a particular world presuming it is still available; if not, he'll probably give you another title selected at random from those available. You probably should have gotten one with your Knight-level support at CotI. If not, send Marc an e-mail.

I possess a Patent, but Imperium patents hold less value than perhaps something as equivalent to the Vargr. I'm a Vargr player and Patent of Pack Alpha, Aslan Clan Head, Ihatei Warlord, or Chief Hiver Manipulator would have similar and wider ranging value than title from His Imperial Majesty.

From deep in the Extents, this is the Pakkrat.

Noble titles

Or you could just "type away" to you heart's desire and claim any title you choose to.. and then stand ready to defend your noble heritage.

Just try no to claim the "Ultimate knower of all things canon", because that spot is taken (at least I think it is...)

Well maybe not... you could have the MoJ after you because there is a Imperial College of Hearlds and a Roll of the Patents of Nobility

And this thread for discussion on the T5 patents issued.

Marc also gives out cards for contributing thoughts that make him go "aha!" in the Moot.

Of course don't think I'm a spoil sport. You can of course make up a title for yourself, but it won't be backed by a patent. You know there's plenty of fun to be had with that idea....

so all I have to do is claim I'm the High Stabber of the Sword Worlds, and I;m scot free? sweet!

and fight to keep your title is you've stepped on someone's "more legitimate" claim...

 

[JimMarn]

You could always make a claim using one of my ATU planets, sub-sectors, etc. I wouldn't say anything other than 'Thank you.'. Mine are on the other side of the galaxy from the OTU.

I've always taken a bit of a hard stand against Stolen Valor IRL, I can't see myself "making up" a title to put in my own sig line if the the standard is to have a Patent (or Award) card to back it up. It may seem silly, but that's just where I come from.

Oh, I AM The Ultimate Knower of All Things Canon... Just for my own life.... not for any version of Traveller! :rofl: Although there are those who say I don't know what I am talking about... o::CoW::smirk: mega:

Those are coming from Marc on the same stock as the patents.

Some, I suspect, are "thank you for making my life easier"...
