Stargazer? Who am I? :)

Well, I have no precise idea myself - just a word like "Zvezdochet", probably... :)

I just thought people may get tired of ordinary "priests-bishops-cardinals" so I decided to "interlace" them with few unexpected imaginary ranks :P

Since I almost ran out of colors I decided further we can add small icons to ranks (not necessarily stars)...

And a cute star too.

I prefer that title; not too keen on the religious ones.

The "ranks" help page should probably be updated to reflect the additional rank.

So, how many more problems until "Galactic Overlord?" :^)

Random ideas of ranks about stars:

  • Abductee
  • (Something)naut
  • Time lord

We could have a progression of space-related concepts: "Moon", "Earth", "Sun", "Astro", "Space", "Star", "Time", "Cosmic"

Mix them with a sort of increasing rank: "Child", "Gazer", "Farer", "Coder", "Leader", "Master", "Lord"

Giving us a whole bunch of titles:

Moon Child 
Moon Gazer 
Moon Farer 
Moon Coder 
Moon Leader 
Moon Master 
Moon Lord 
Earth Child 
Earth Gazer 
Earth Farer 
Earth Coder 
Earth Leader 
Earth Master 
Earth Lord 
Sun Child 
Sun Gazer 
Sun Farer 
Sun Coder 
Sun Leader 
Sun Master 
Sun Lord 
Astro Child 
Astro Gazer 
Astro Farer 
Astro Coder 
Astro Leader 
Astro Master 
Astro Lord 
Space Child 
Space Gazer 
Space Farer 
Space Coder 
Space Leader 
Space Master 
Space Lord 
Star Child 
Star Gazer 
Star Farer 
Star Coder 
Star Leader 
Star Master 
Star Lord 
Time Child 
Time Gazer 
Time Farer 
Time Coder 
Time Leader 
Time Master 
Time Lord 
Cosmic Child 
Cosmic Gazer 
Cosmic Farer 
Cosmic Coder 
Cosmic Leader 
Cosmic Master 
Cosmic Lord 

If the "20 problems per rank" rule holds, we'd be good to about 1,120 problems.

Huh, Friends! Your imagination is shockingly effective - seems we are ready to conquer the Universe! :)

Though I have two minor concerns:

  • we rule the world by mind and thought, not by power and force, so Wizard probably is bit better than Lord;
  • I'm going to keep some degree of intrigue, and avoid predictable "scale" of ranks.

However you definitely gave enough bright ideas! I just imagined all Galaxy Sweepers, Space Argonauts and Comet Hunters we can have... Wow!

> we'd be good to about 1,120 problems

It seems that at current rate it will keep me busy for enough years - and it is twice as many as ProjectEuler have! :D

Though PE mainly collects real puzzles, many of them brilliant, so we should care not only about quantity but also about quality which is not quite high now... ;-)

The Doctor is a time lord (that’s why I proposed this rank). ;-)
