"Y U SHOOOTED ME I R ADMRAL"
I'm happy with being a captain. Rank is nothing to me, intelligence is.

Self given ranks are ok as long as the person isn't powerplaying and trying to grab a position they don't deserve such as Admiral or Don

You can claim all you want, but without authority, your claims are hollow and easily ignored. If you want power, get the approval of a faction (or even better - join one, unless it completely screws over your RP). It's that easy, really.

If you're going to roleplay being in command of a capital ship, you have to give yourself a logical rank. Admirals can logically command Battleships and Carriers, privates can't.
By the by, I find the fact that most faction admirals choose to fly fighters fairly strange. By all means, fly the ships you enjoy, but when roleplaying the leader of a vast fleet, sitting in a small, vulnerable fighter is quite odd.

I had two noobs rock up to Chugoku in CSVs claiming to be long-lost relatives of the Taishogun (even had the surname Hideyoshi!).
It took me some time to convince them that carrying such a name would make them the prime targets for assassins - from both the Dragons enemies AND within the Dragons themselves!
As Taishogun, it would be well within my rights to have them killed or imprisoned as they would be a potential threat to the Dragon's Throne. Plenty of monarchs in history have done such...

I am Lord Walter McHenry MacIntyre III, Lord of all of Camelot, King of the Sumerian Isles, and sole Heir to the Throne of the Bubblegum Empire.
Hear me roar.
*shrug* I have no problems with it. Let them be as they want to be, it's not your place to restrict them just like it's not our place to wonder why all the females in Disco who aren't on scripts have 36D's and lovely faces.

I tend to agree with the latter part. I don't like most leadership type characters acting as ingame characters. Shouldn't they be doing paperwork and making decisions? With admirals in particular, isn't that a position that is in charge of several ships? I like the idea of having actual ingame characters of a lower rank.
