Personally, I prefer the fact that there are no game or forum ways to be declared anything save clan champion. With the exception of Family Daimyo of course. That sounds interesting. The whole idea of the game is that we are not the world shakers, we are the servents. The highest rank I have ever gotten in any RP game was Emerald Magistrate. That's very low on the status scale. Yeah, I'm higher than a Gunso, but I'm still not a Chui. I personally love this game and would not care if I was never anything more than just an average samurai.

Just to throw out a personal opinion (Not in any way sponsored by the higher ups) I think you can claim any title you have in game, aside from Daiymo and Champion (which if you think about it, can still be claimed via the glory or honor boards in game). So if you have the Chui position, you can claim to be a chui if you so choose. However I agree with our esteemed Monkey clan member in that I like how not everyone is an important person in Rokugan.

I personally claim only what I have earnt in game, simply because I am proud of getting them. I also think my character would be loyal but that isn't in game yet. I claim hero because one night I sat down and wrote the story of my character and it read as pretty darned heroic to me...

Titles are a very sticky situation to some people in the game. I don't quite understand why people get so bent out of shape about having a title for this or that, or why other people feel the need to say "BUT U NO CAN HAZ DAT TITUL! The only ones that I bear issue with people claiming are em / jade champ, as those titles are similar in stature to that of the emperor, somewhat "above" that of clan champ.
I call myself teh unwanted defender of the empire, and reference it from time to time. If you want to be Hero/scout/magistrate/taint eater I don't care.

Technically the forum does have ways of placing titles, it's only that an admin has to do it if you want it in a sor t of more substancial way than say flavor text.
Really I don't mind sorting things like this out if you pm me, but it all simply depends on what you'd all like. In game people are changing every day both living and dying (the latter being to Shoju's obvious delight)
But for the most part your flavor text is there if you'd like to call yourself something more than 'samurai'. If you want to give your character clarity, by all means not a soul will stop you! *mutters something about Jade Champion and quietly runs*
Just try not to claim any champion positions, otherwise you've got some creative freedom with that one.

Whatever you do, don't claim shogun. You'll be burried in assasanation attempts and hate mail.

PSH. Assassinations. Bring it SON! EDIT: Though, I have been thinking about giving myself a "naka kuro" type title, as I'm currently the highest ranked Chuda on every ring..... That would be pretty cool

Yes, but you already "insult" all non-Spider by claiming to be a clan. Why should we care if you call your self the "Grand Master of all Dark Rings"tm
Back to topic there are also alot of us who have in game titles that we do not use in RP.
Taisa Tensai Enlightened Darling of the court
I have all of them in game, but in RP Machu is just a humble bushi/magistrate who has never been awarded status despite his action hero + player character existance.

And the Dragon insult the rest of the Empire by "watching" instead of acting, but those types of things are neither here or there really.
Yeah. looking at things like that, I have Taisa Gunso Quartermaster Tensai Plaguebringer Magistrate Yoriki Chui Defender of the Wall Warmonger Physician
There are few titles in game that I care for as much as the ones that you can come up with for a different reason.
