I like it. Though I think we might need a commadore rank?

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

13 votes, considering that when ever I make a poll thats the usual amount of votes I get I think we have a winner.

Yup. Although the poll has a few hours left to run, it's pretty clear how it's gone so we decided to run with it now. The new ranks are now in place. :)

I think it's a cool thing. Plus, we get to see new rank insignia, which is nice. :)
