I thought denizenship was something decidedly retroactively on baraker's whim.
tldr, The denizen system is kind of broken and a bit too subjective with the generation stuff, so let's have OT!Eras instead with actual guidelines for denizenshipEndaris wrote:

5 pages (250 posts!) seemed like a lot at first but even though I'm not as active as I used to and was completely offline for 2 weeks I have 5 pages over the last 2 months, there doesn't seem to be any 4 months stretch where I didn't reach itPatatitta wrote:
-In order to become a member of an era, you must have at least 5 pages of posts/threads, spread over 4 months of activity on OT, so, a user that has constantly posted for at least 4 months of a year, would be part of an era. The post count does not take into consideration Forum games or Mafia, only main offtopic posts counts
I can easily see something replacing denizenship with highlighting the most important people of an era, kind of like a Hall of FamePatatitta wrote:
If anyone wants to make a better government/else, basing itself on eras, or just their standalone system, I actually encourage making that

no one has actually read the ot!chronicles, a thread that is very incomplete and no one has pointed it out in the past year
I read like half the post and then I was like "...is there going to be a point?"Patatitta wrote:

Yeah I wasn't sure about that but anyway 5 pages seems reasonable to mePatatitta wrote:
I dont know if I clarified it correctly, you dont need to do the 5 pages on the 4 month timespan, if you only post 3 pages on the first 4 months, but then you stay in OT more time and post another 2 pages, even if it took you longer, that would count and you would be included into eras
about maintaining the thread, I think I will keep playing osu and browsing OT for at least a couple more years, I dont see myself quitting soon, so yeah, I think I might be able to maintain it for at least a couple years
wont stay forever, but I think it will be enough time for when I quit, someone else will start maintaining itKarmine wrote:

You probably wouldn't make this thread if you planned on quitting soon but you won't stay here forever
Hope it's true, but high effort threads have a history of not lasting long or dying when their creator stopsPatatitta wrote:

basically its denizenship but you qualify when you meet the requirements of at least 5 pages of posts on off topic and has been active for 4 months or more, each era ends every year the thread gets edited to include all users that qualify, however the year you start is the era you will be placed inJangsoodlor wrote:

it's long because I have to explain why the currenty denizen system fails, in order to be able to justify mineKaaruumii wrote:

this thread feels unnecessarily long for the simple but more straightforward fix
Was there someone working on archiving OT before you? Not like there can't be another recordkeeper in the future.abraker wrote:
The worst part of me eventually fading into OT's history is that I have no hope that denizens would record threads like these into some chronicle equivalent compilation of OT's history. Effectively Eras after me would be come as ??? as the Valhalla era given enough time.
Nope, I am the first archiver and spend many hours going through pages attempting to reconstructing the history. There still remains a good 50 pages or so between 2013 - 2010 I have yet to browse through.Kobold84 wrote:
