Avaters

nope.

[Quietus]

I think what Berserker like is limiting poster to choosing avatars from your favorite RTW games. However, I agree that our current system is already better, especially since it encompasses all three games.

Btw, Tosa, when's the next avatar poll(s) coming?

I think he wants to be able to filter out the STW and MTW avatars when making his choice?

I think the current system of Avatars is good. It is well thought out and appropriate. It even shows some semblance of civilization development, up from barbarians through to romans.

If anything, it would be nice to see an "avatar drop box", where members could submit created avatars for use on the forum. For example, If I wanted to use an Avatar that I created, then I would submit it to the Avatar moderator who would approve or deny the submission (thus avoiding inappropriate avatars and avatars from outside games). The submission could be labeled "for own use only" or "for community access". Perhaps a member with a certain number of posts, or senior members would be the only ones allowed to submit exclusive use avatars. All others could only submit for community use, to be appropriately placed in the Avatar post ladder.

Just a thought.

yes that is right

[TosaInu]

yes that is right

So the answer to either STW or MTW or RTW isn't nope, but right?

So, what you roughly say is that you want more categorization. Whether it is a good thing to lock the other categories once you select one, has to be seen. The con of doing such a thing is that a member can never change his mind (or he would have to contact staff). Imagine for example someone being perfectly happy with playing MTW today, while not liking RTW (possible, no?) and being even happier when BI is shipped and thus wanting a BI avatar.

Hardcoding such a thing is also not great for people who just want to be able to choose from the whole available array at any time of the day.

The current system however, does not limit you in any way to do what you want. There are batches of RTW avatars available for you, if that's what you play, and more batches become available when you post more.

The possibility to have categories is something I'ld like to see too. Browsing the userCP/Avatar section will become easier, for you can decide to only display the RTW subcategories.

but he can change from e.g MTW to STW

That's possible right now as well.
