Is everybody happy with the current ranking system (i.e. Squire, Knight, Lord, etc.) or does anyone have a system they think would be better or more exciting?

Also, if you have any thoughts on the milestones for promotions, feel free to include those. Right now the milestones are 30, 60, 100, 200, 400, and 800 posts.

Maybe we could add the female counterparts of the titles of nobility.

Emperor, Empress
King, Queen
Prince, Princess
Prince Consort, Princess Consort
Grand Duke, Grand Duchess
Duke, Duchess
Count, Countess
Viscount, Viscountess
Baron, Baroness
Knight, Dame

I also thought of doing something related to higher learning, like Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, Graduate or Master or ?, Doctor but as you can see I can't think of any good name for the graduate student slot. I look forward to hearing everyone else's ideas.

The other plus these are non-sex related.
