Yeah, I bet they all pretend to be wookies and Darth Vader.

I do sign my messages, "Captain AJ" since we are Starship Valiant- And sometimes players do play along and call me "captain." But, so far there, no "Number One," or "Chief Engineer" or "Ship Counselor," though I suppose there could be.
The whole role playing thing could be fun but I think you'd have to pick a specific fantasy/sci-fi thing and have all the right people to make it really work, especially since the rank names are pre-set and you can't put in, for instance: "Captain", "Commander," "Chief" and "Ensign" as the titles.
Maybe I'll give SoggyShorts a thrill and make it a suggestion that we are allowed to do that.....flexible naming of ranks....hmmmm....
