Title: Just an Idea...
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 09, 2006, 10:08:58 am
When bored, guess what you do? Check out the grd boards of course and I just got an idea I can steal from them! *cackles*

What about creating avatars like the ones Grd use, with Citizen, Highlander etc...Showing your station in the covian society...It will take some effort, but I think it can be done without taking too much time :P

What about mr white ninja! Where will he sleep at night?! Hes only trying to protect you from black magic beans!


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Bayne on February 09, 2006, 02:17:38 pm
Curse that white ninja. I will beat him one day...

I think it's a good idea to have it as a sort of title but maybe let each person decide on the avatar maybe?


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 09, 2006, 02:58:50 pm
well, boviously, it's not a commandment :D May the avatar forbid that...It's just an idea, and all comments are very  useful...I am currently making a Highlander one...So I will post it here for all to see and judge

Post by: Octiovus on February 11, 2006, 02:35:21 pm
Seems like a good idea, I may have a crack myself though I fear Eason will be better suited to the task. ;)


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 11, 2006, 02:59:35 pm
This is to be noted, that this idea is stolen from the Grd boards! ;)

*sighs*
We are a guild of those I used to laugh about and call brainless heavy rp´er. Now I am part of it and always wondered, why at the boards RP´ing sometimes stoped. In MY opinion the signatures and avatars belong to the RP part, kind of continuing of the UO char. And I know, there are lots of fantastic avatars around to represent your char. Some boards offer it as an ordinary add-on.

*waves*


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 16, 2006, 08:56:48 am
I agree, even though my avatar has never been anything even remotly connected to my char... This is only an idea, but I still think it's an good one at that because:

1. It will be very easy to see who the person really is in the game.
2. It's almost like leaving a stamp with your insignia on every IC paper you "sign"


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 09:52:27 am
May Jack Bauer bless you all  :D

Could do a 50/50 arrangement
AVATAR is roleplay, SIGGIE is optional.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Kazuo Shinrai on February 16, 2006, 09:52:35 am
Well, my avatar is very much related to my chars!

Bob Marley - likes to smoke illegal substances, Kazuo likes to smuggle them (after which Kasei smokes them)

Bob was very much against violence - Kazuo feels the same way, hence he has others do the dirty work for him

Bob made pwn music - Kazuo has GM musicianship

Bob pwns without question - pretty much the same as Kasei + Lightningstrike + Honour

Bob was a honourable person - My chars are Japanese

Bob is a legend! - Ok, not quite there yet


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 03:35:41 pm
Does raise an interesting debate, really.
Should our Avatars and Signatures be monitored by the Roleplay Police?

One can appreciate that a certain Bob Marley and Jack Bauer can set the atmosphere slightly off course (despite your exceptional comments, Kazuo :D)

How's something like this? I know its small but thats the Avatar Limit.

Looks good, I prefer the topmost one...;)


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 04:04:48 pm
Kidding!?

I prefer the second :D


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Ben Radau on February 16, 2006, 04:12:14 pm
Just give this a try, no matter of the language....

Try to register and see the avatar list that the board offers...

http://www.dragonbane.de/wdt/modules.php?name=Forums

Maybe we can add something similar? The thing with the titles/ ranks makes some work if promoted... then we need a kind of page where all possible ranks are put to download the corresponding picture...


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 04:31:07 pm
Couldn't register because it won't accept my hotmal address.
But I did have a look around at their avatars.

They seem to use a lot of random artwork on there, including Dungeon Keeper images!?
Dungeon Keeper. What a great game...
"Your monsters are deserting!!"

They have the advantage of larger avatars though. I'm not sure if we can expand the size of avatars on here. I'll have a browse through admin.

But yeah, I'm quite happy to draft up a load of avatars/ranks with their links.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 04:33:18 pm
Booya!
Increased Avatarsize to 150x150.
*Edit*

Maybe 100x100..


Title: Re: Just an Idea...

How about that?
Dropped the cheesy UO graphics.

Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 06:16:38 pm
Aye.
Just getting the ones with artwork done first.

Then what I'll do is I'll just edit the titles accordingly.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Kas Valentine on February 16, 2006, 06:26:12 pm
Regulars have artwork already!?  :o

You chaps have a VIP club don't you, I knew it !

Nice work - you've changed the hues well

Highlander one is a bit unclear, has he got a shield?

Wow, the scout one looks really cool

Post by: Gregor Eason on February 16, 2006, 08:46:36 pm
So guys like them, and stuff?
If you don't just shout.

I don't think these will be mandatory.. (unless you guys think that is kool..?)

But I think as Ben raised earlier, it might be worth us cracking down on signatures and stuff.. Yer know...
Just to give the Community "that little bit more" of a roleplay atmosphere.

Thoughts?


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Delcarakdur on February 16, 2006, 08:49:37 pm
Agreed, even though that'd mean that I have to let go of the comment upon me by Dashell...:(


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Ben Radau on February 16, 2006, 08:54:47 pm
*nods*
very fine work, explorer master ;c)
that gives the board the real feeling ;c)
the siggies can be chosen free - with some links to the char, but the avatars that way should be ordered...
*nods firmly*


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Bayne on February 16, 2006, 09:09:07 pm
Lets see if mine works.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...

Yeah, RP related siggys ftw


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Samuel West on February 16, 2006, 09:22:40 pm
What about seniors and exploring officers and corprols and sergeants and captains and commanders and watchman and recruits and citizens eh!?

Yeh... we be proper military now


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: John Dell on February 16, 2006, 10:10:36 pm
See one thing that I hate about fixed siggys and avatars is that I now have to look at the names to know who it is that i have to ignore. I mean what if i actually replied to someone i dont like?!  :o

Cape looks a bit shoddy, make the text bigger as well then it will be sorted

I'm inclined to agree.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 17, 2006, 04:31:43 pm
Alright, I'll try again.
I won't increase the text size because then that will deviate from the design template; but I'll find an artwork piece without so much cape.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Samuel West on February 17, 2006, 05:01:40 pm
I like it like that

Why don't you let the only captain decide if its ok?   ;)


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: John Dell on February 17, 2006, 05:03:40 pm
Because we dont want to be ashamed of him now do we?

Hurry up with those boulders!


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Gregor Eason on February 17, 2006, 05:32:34 pm
That's a good point, Tom.
Our one and only Captain should decide, but its not amazing - I can probably find a better piece of art and do a proper job.
OR... I could just take the image for the normal guardsman and put "Captain" on it.


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
Post by: Samuel West on February 17, 2006, 05:38:46 pm
No no! Don't do that!! Thats Just Lazy!!

Title: Re: Just an Idea...

I like this one.

Perhaps use the other one for other officer ranks?


Title: Re: Just an Idea...
