would it be possible....

[octavian]

that is, b4 people reach 500. after that it doesn't really matter. (sorry just finishing the title http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif ) neways, my idea is to make so that, if a) a new patron signs up, set his/her gender as neutral (ie, forgot and to lazy to check) then the ordinary default avatar would come up. b) if the new patron set her gender as female, a genaric female avatar would come up, this avatar would change along with the post count. c) if the new patron sets his gender to male, the ordinary avatar comes up. i know this might be too much work for Admin to warrant the benefits (so at least you know the persons gender at a glance) because females are a very definate minority on these forums. nonetheless................ http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-gossip.gif well, get talking


ps (if this gets some interest/support, could you mods move this to the watchtower?)

thx octavian

Why do you need to know who the lasses are, pray tell?

[octavian]

@somebody else, simply to avoid this:

oh shit, i mean, spit, srry lady, didn't............ um hello... nice leather coat you got there, um no, i mean yea, i called your girlfriend a punkass. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-whip.gif

[octavian]

so you see, its simply for the protection of our most noble patrons http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Gregoshi]

Actually, a few female patrons were a bit put off because they could only have a male avatars.

[octavian]

yes, i know greg, my response was totally joking there http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Just an added incentive to reach 500 post mark for female avatars.

[spmetla]

It'd be nice to see a few more Princesses in the forums that haven't reached the 500post level.

Hell, if that's all you guys want, give me a princess avatar.

[octavian]

ovaat, seeing as you already are above 500 posts, you can give yourself a princess av http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

[frogbeastegg]

Good idea. Having to spam just to get an avatar so people stop calling you 'him' is a bit silly. I didn't like the generic male avatars, that is one of the reasons I joined the crowd asking for a shogun one in a thread in the sword dojo. Somehow being a samurai archer was better http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-inquisitive.gif

When I finally got 500 posts after several long months I found all the female avatars were of the ugly MTW princesses, so I kept the archer. In the end I had to become a mod to get a nice female avatar Here's hoping RTW provides some nicer avatars.

[Tricky Lady]

Would be a good idea. I am one of those who spammed their way up to 500 posts. A bit silly, but at least I got rid of these silly duke and count default avatars. Yay

BTW, I don't think the VI princesses are so terrible, apart from the ones with the tomato-red faces.

PS. This avatar only has a red nose. Seems like she's drunk or stood outside at -25°C for a couple of hours.

[SwordsMaster]

Hey, Lord Ovaat, that reminds me of a line in Snatch. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-2thumbsup.gif

Anyway, Im for female avatars, even if they are ugly medieval princesses. Just for the sake of knowing how to refer to people.

(And I think we are all a little more gentlemen when talking to a lady, Im I right guys?) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-toff.gif

[ah_dut]

Give us Female avatars now please Tosa http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-yes.gif

[solypsist]

I guess we could add female avatars among the selection available. I'm surprised Tosa hasn't already done this.
