===Strength Classification===


For this realm, to classify yourself is just to measure how connected and how knowledgeable you are towards the people, both the ones beneficial to you and the ones not so beneficial to you, and best practices:
圮地无舍 Ground that may collapse or is unstable, don’t station troops there.
衢地合交 On ground of withdrawal, unite and link (join forces with allies / keep the junction alive).
絕地无留 If you are on ground that severs retreat, don’t stay and linger around, act decisively.
圍地則謀 On dangerous ground, scheme (plan).
死地則戰 If you are backed into a place of death, fight. There is no other option.

For this realm, to classify yourself is just to measure how connected and how knowledgeable you are towards the people, both the ones beneficial to you and the ones not so beneficial to you, and the social structures that formed around them. Here on this Layer of Reality, the essence of strength is to be fluid, able to fit in everywhere and to be the fastest to be informed and consequently more likely to be in favorable positioning. Socially ee useful for as many people as possible, or at least be seen as potentially beneficial for also their own benefit. On micro scale it may be that people are taking benefit from your existence, but on macro scale in a compounding way, you are actually the beneficiary because: it is easier for you to avoid unfavorable situations and able to read the rooms and the big picture better, more likely to avoid being stuck on something you cannot get rid off, and is generally harder to get pushed around/cornered by anyone because you are that resourceful and having various Plan Bs. Anyway the strength classification for this realm are:
#Level 1 Men; '''Not Connected'''(孤立無援): Knows noone and is clueless about this server both socially and rules-speaking. Most new players are here unless you are migrating together with some old friends from old server, or able to notice some old names you previously encountered on some other places some other times. If you are here just add the numbers and try to get to know as many people as possible. Honeymoon of post-migration/post-hiatus period.

#Level 2 Men; '''Sufficiently Connected''' (通達有餘): Knows their peers, and some older friendly players. You start to get noticed, and people also actively want to get to know you from their side and to measure you. You start to gain strength and becoming more significant. More sinister force starts to target you as they assume you will have buying power, but not the knowledge to discern the good items vs bad items and good prices vs bad prices nor having the connections that is always available to be consulted about this matter. If you are here I would personally advice you to use #global and #support as much as possible and avoid DM unless it is with someone trustworthy.
#Level 2 Men; '''Sufficiently Connected''' (通達有餘): Knows their peers, and some older friendly players. You start to get noticed, and people also actively want to get to know you from their side and to measure you. Usually happens when you start to gain strength on Earth Realm and try to bid your first end game equipment, generally becoming more significant both in actuality and potentially. More sinister force starts to target you as they assume you will have buying power, but not the knowledge to discern the good items vs bad items and good prices vs bad prices nor having the connections that is always available to be consulted about this matter. If you are here I would personally advice you to use #global and #support as much as possible and avoid DM unless it is with someone trustworthy.
#Level 3 Men; '''Strategically Connected''' (謀通天下): Knows at least a guild worth number of people that have mutual/common interest. You have found your comfy zone. Most players are here. You are generally immunized against most common shady practices, and even if u haven't, you always know someone to ask.

#Level 4 Men; '''Networked and Perceptive'''(網通明察): Knows a lot of people to chill with of which is probably one third of the server and have a long list who to avoid or to distance yourself with. People sometimes brand you as elitist at this phase but they don't understand that quality starts to matter more than quantity and that you don't have time for everyone. Knows good deals vs bad deals just by glancing the seller's name. Most veterans are here. Scammers will ignore you.

#Level 5 Men; '''Connected with History, Aware of Men'''(通古知人): Knows a lot of people for years and generally everyone in the server that shared your timezones, at times it seems that there's more people that know you than you know them but then you remember them again after awhile. Probably you also have dirts on a lot of people (but ur not a snitch, you are the cool kids). Scammers will fear you.
