I think it would get really confusing if different people could style the ranks differently for themselves. You'd talk about kampaku and they would have no clue what you're talking about. Individuals can already use scripts (Greasemonkey, etc.) to change the ranks themselves if they care that much.
I agree with malbus that the "samurai" names are part of the history and should be kept, but perhaps we might add more ranks.
As long as you're digging through suggestion board, here are a few longstanding requests on the subject of ranks:
- allow emps to assign priveleges (accepting/promoting/clicking) to ranks or to individuals regardless of rank
- add another rank. With the change to make peasants not count to clicks, and with all the power given to shoguns (and trust required), it's hard to do much to separate the "better" daimyos from the rest. Potential ideas are tandai (above shogun, granted specific priveleges) shugo (below shogun, above daimyo) and taiko (honorary rank given to ex-emps or ex-kampakus, functionally equivalent to shogun)

Thats one mighty fine suggestion MUSHpark! Stay with the history, but have more ranks!

In order to keep some semblance of order, for each rank, there would be:
Zero or more automatic privs
Zero or more unavailable privs
Zero or more optional privs that can be turned on or off by very high people with the "adjust privs" priv.
For example, imagine a dynasty that has a policy of setting everyone with a certain number of clicks on the day to a rank that does or does not count in the stats just before reset. The high ranks might want to allow some, but not all, people of a certain rank to promote/demote , without changing what external people see as those members' importance in the dynasty.
It also lets leadership reward people with a partial promotion to say "keep up the good work."
I really like Mushpark's idea. I feel there are some clickers that are way above and beyond others in their groups and they should be noticed. I might be easier for the Emp to assign different authorities to different ranks so others feel more involved.

Sounds perfect. I had never properly checked out the forums before and I find the ideas and questions I had been thinking for days are also being thought and discussed by others here!
who knew?!
I had also thought at least 1 new ranking should be implemented and more options for emperors to delegate duties. The japanese ranking system is very original and should def. be kept as is.

also totally agree to mushpark and the majority.
in fact if we had other ranktitles, the sites name samurai war link exchange would also make less sense...
with common ranks it would be a common war link exchange
also the point of confusion is right, if im talking about kampaku its cool just to say kampaku and not: kampaku, general, boss, consigliere, racing car, dinosaur, whatever...
I like the rank order offered now, but I think abilities and privileges might be rearranged.
Also, I think there should be a way for the dynasty to be able to vote together to remove an inactive Emperor so that the dynasty isn't lost because of hierarchy failure.
