US / British Ranks
Re: [gpilots] ROM Invincibility cheat
Herr General, thanks for my promotion! I'll continue to work harder on Cheat HQ to improve even more my rank
By the way what is your opinion on posting cheats that fixes games bugs? Do you think it's worth to put them in a database? I ask because it's not MAME goal to fix these bugs, according to the emulation directives the games are intended to be emulated as they originally were. The argument to have cheats in MAME is to make it easy a process of emulating these games, to check for a specific bug on a difficult stage etc. So I need to know if it's any value posting these cheats here; if not I will still produce them but keep them all to myself.

US / British ranks
These ranks follow British or US rules? According to this page http://www.helsinki.fi/~degroot/anglomil.html, for British army I'm just an enlisted (equivalent to Sergeant First Class for US army) but for US army I'm already an officer (equivalent to Second Lieutenant in British army)... Since you're from UK I guess I'm an enlisted

Re: [gpilots] ROM Invincibility cheat
You're welcome, just desserts. THough I'm not 'Herr' General..I'm british not german. Sir or Pugsy will do just fineHerr General, thanks for my promotion!
Well that's the point....the rank structure is just a laugh, got the idea from the book 'Good Omens' with the Witchfinder army....it amuses me anywayI'll continue to work harder on Cheat HQ to improve even more my rank
Well it really depends I guess on a number of things.....I'm gonna take a guess there won't be too many of these bugfixes (less than neogeo fighter cheats at least....) So post away. No guarantees on adding them to the cheat database though unless it makes a an impossible game possible or it fixes a serious bug. Just suck it and see I guess.By the way what is your opinion on posting cheats that fixes games bugs? Do you think it's worth to put them in a database?

Re: US / British ranks
The rank structure is loosely based on the British Army (the rank badges are the British Army shoulder/arm badges actually), there are some ranks missing.. though I have added a few more this last week like Warrant Officer. I've left some of the star ranks out because they make it a bit cumbersome... It makes the forums a bit different and a bit of a giggle, if I see a person posting cheats that impress me I'll promote them on sight...ROM cheats for a game where RAM cheats are impossible will normally impress me enough to mean officer statusThese ranks follow British or US rules? According to this page http://www.helsinki.fi/~degroot/anglomil.html, for British army I'm just an enlisted (equivalent to Sergeant First Class for US army) but for US army I'm already an officer (equivalent to Second Lieutenant in British army)...

I have say I though you were a german....I was gobsmacked to find out you are actually a brazillian, I really mustn't stereotype!

Re: US / British ranks
Yeah? Funny, what made you think of that? Because I called you "Herr" General? I was just repeating a joke made by St?phane. Did you think that for a long time? What was the stereotype then?Pugsy wrote:I have say I though you were a german....I was gobsmacked to find out you are actually a brazillian, I really mustn't stereotype!

Re: US / British ranks
Nope I know Stephh said it as a passing joke. I actually presumed you where german because the way you seem determined to sort out the smallest of problems/bugs and also when I've chatted to you on ICQ you seem to speak english like a german. The brazillian stereotype can be categorised in three words....."me am brasil".bugfinder wrote: Yeah? Funny, what made you think of that? Because I called you "Herr" General?

OK. I did some memberlist searching and I have found the following:
Among the top 50 plus ties in terms of number of posts (55 users from my 600-something posts down to four posts), I have found the following:
Special Rankings
Warrant Officer - bugfinder (why lowercase the B I don't know)
Captains - me, sum, pon, Haggar, Taucher0815, and wayder.
Majors - Ian and Paul.
Brigadier - stephh
General - Pugsy
Troll - do we really need to be reminded of who this guy is? Pugsy sure doesn't.
No Ranking (I'm serious, no ranking)
The tECHIDNA
Regular Rankings
elijose79 is the one with the most posts who does not have a special rank. His rank: Lance Corporal (and he's the only one). Everyone else is Private.
