A sexton is a church officer charged with the maintenance of the church buildings and/or the surrounding graveyard.
The word "Sexton" is believed to be derived from the Anglo-Norman "segerstein" which itself originated from the Latin word "sacristanus" which basically means "someone who looks after the sacred objects".
Your idea for ranks is pretty good, but unfortunately you're a bit late.
Lol sorry, I was posting that while you posted yours, so I didn't see it. I also didn't see your trimmed down list, which I also agree with. I was just sorting out Elfen's list.
Two prehaps, since Zakarum+quest icons was an option. One I would most definitely like to see implimented.
But Zakarum was just used as an example. If Link's list was chosen, I would still like to see quest icons used rather than skill icons, while others may prefer skill icons.
There should be two, maybe even three polls. One for the rank titles, and one for the rank layout, and maybe one for the rank icons.

Well, personally I think there's too much space in between your name, icon and avatar, but that might just be me.
lol, its a bit hard to control the composition when you can only work in the space of your avatar. I was just fantasising :rolleyes:
I'll see if I can come up with title-bars that suit the quest icons. Hopefully other people can have a go too.
Edit: Nephalem suits any order or clan, because most orders are led by a Nephalem. The Ancients are associated with barbarians, yes... but they are a cool title, and are practically the same as the Nephalem. Maybe we could change it to Edyrem then?
Note that it is part of my avatar. I manually put it in there.
Oh my god, I just figured out how to make transparent images. Man, why didn't anyone tell me before when I was working on my sig shop? Its so freaking easy, all I have to do is save it as 'gif' instead of 'jpg'.
I personally don't really like the Zakarum for a base either, mostly because alot of people have shown to be for either Heaven or Hell, meaning that they would clash with either Eastern or Western Zakarum. But apparently that doesn't phase some...
If something is good then it is good, not bad. Lol. Just because one group of a bigger group is good and the other is bad doesn't make the bigger group neutral, it just makes the bigger group divided among itself. That's like saying DiabloFans is divided among itself, which is defeating the goal of alot of these public works programs that you and Jetrall are trying to do.
Personally I would like to see a holy and an evil set of Zakarum ranks, and sense that is not possible, it really kinda makes me not want to see them at all...
I'm not following you. To me it seems that the Zakarum represent both good and evil, because the Zakarum influence in the West is not corrupted, while the Zakarum influence in the East is. As far as we know, the ranks for the Zakarum are the same in both East and West regions. Well, okay, we really don't know what they are in the East, but if its the same order then you'd think they would have the same ranks. 'Cantor' and Heirophant' and 'Sexton' aren't evil words, they are just different positions in a church, whatever that church is for. What would be the 'evil' and 'good' versions of the Zakarum ranks? I thought they would be the same?
On the other hand, 'Knights' are either seen as holy or neutral. While it is possible to have evil knights, it only really happens when there is an evil name put infront of it, like 'Doom Knight'.
Initially we were, then it seemed everyone liked the Zakarum list. Then everyone proceeded to look at layout, thus in effect answering the poll before it was made.
Actually, I think voting for the actual ranks is still in order. We didn't really decide on using the Zakarum list, we have just been using that as an example until the final decision is made.
Ohh, I like the middle one, Zetiam. If we were to use that layout, then we would definitely use the skill icons, because quest icons wouldn't suit it.
And Phrozen, Elfen explained that the 'The' is meant to be used how Zetiam used it. However, you are right, it does kind of make it seem like you are the only one of your rank. I dunno, maybe we should make a vote to have 'the' or not too.
This list is pretty good too, except for the Dragon and the Paladin.

What about this
The Peon 0-9
The Town Crier 10-49
The Mercenary 50-199
The Warrior 200-499
The Priest 500-999
The Paladin 1000-1499
The Horadrim 1500-1999
The Edyrem 2000-2999
The Nephalem 3000+
The Great Dragon himself 5000+
I would roughly change that to:
The Specter 0
The Villager 1-9
The Town Crier 10-49
The Mercenary 50-199
The Warrior 200-499
The Lord 500-999
The Duke 1000-1499
The Count 1500-1999
The Horadrim 2000-2999
The Edyrem 3000-4999
The Ancient One 5000-7999
The Nephalem 8000+
Btw, a Nephalem is the equivalent of Trag'Oul's right hand man (Rathma is a Nephalem).
The word "Sexton" is believed to be derived from the Anglo-Norman "segerstein" which itself originated from the Latin word "sacristanus" which basically means "someone who looks after the sacred objects".

Ohhhh, yeah. I see what you mean. Hmm, yeah, in this case Knights do seem to be a better option.
Its just that, I don't like it as much, because whenever I think of Knights I think of Knights in Shining Armour lol. And I hate that.
I guess we'll just have to vote and see.

And yea, I like grey icons better too. It keeps them in uniform too. Their actual colours might clash with our avatars too lol.

We haven't even officially decided on Zakarum yet, this is just an example. But yes, I am biased towards this example lol.
I added a few more skills too.
Alright, I'll add some more to that list.
