Re: New Ranks - fun way to get custom ranks..images...
I'd like to give images out for the "Investigator" rank. I looked off of Wookieepedia and I found this on the article called "Jedi Investigator":
And then I Googled around a bit, and found this pic (Warning: It's a bit on the large side):

Already e-mailed guru, but I figured I'd share with you guys, too.

Or maybe just a cropped thumbnail image of the head would be better...

Any chance of a "Writer" rank?

Pretty sure it does have to be Star Wars-related. But, just in case it doesn't..Ping wrote:Wait, didn't it have to be SW themed?

Re: New Ranks - fun way to get custom ranks..images...
Well, Satan for a day isn't exactly star wars themed, but yeah I should probably start reading furthur into OPs more...it's one measly detail hidden in the second paragraph, and I'm ADD, so it's hardfor me to focus long enough to catch that.Ping wrote:Wait, didn't it have to be SW themed?Twilight_Warrior wrote:Already e-mailed guru, but I figured I'd share with you guys, too.

In either case, it wasn't for the Knight rank, like I originally posted, but the swordsman, and after more searching...

How about TK for a day, to compliment the post count?AQT wrote:Since we have the "Satan for the day" rank for when one has 666 posts, how about something special for 1138 posts? The only idea that I have in mind is "George Lucas for the day" though I'm not sure whether that would be a good thing or a bad thing.

Can I be Field Commander? I can use the rep_inf_commander_icon for the icon. Unfortunately, I don't have it on this computer, so would anyone mind uploading a jpg-converted one for me?

Umm, guys, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but does google imaging something really warrant a special rank? I mean, I'm pretty sure you guys can open up gimp or photoshop, and make something aesthetically pleasing.
I mean, the following only took me like 5 minutes overall, and these are just examples of what could be done:
Pilot:

Scoundrel:

I don't mean to toot my own horn. But seriously, shouldn't icons that will probably be widespread in use on the site be at least aesthetically pleasing, or look good when scaled down?

I think you're forgetting that not all of us know how to use imaging programs real well.Umm, guys, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but does google imaging something really warrant a special rank?

I'd think this would be an opportunity to learn. I don't use them very well either, both of those above pictures are eraser tool + stroke.Ping wrote:I think you're forgetting that not all of us know how to use imaging programs real well.Umm, guys, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but does google imaging something really warrant a special rank?

But then again, I'm not one to judge as to what is acceptable for the site, just my 2 cents.

I'm fairly certain your own special rank's image was taken from somewhere else (KotOR perhaps?). As were the "Sith" and "Jedi" ranks, as I have seen those exact images before, just bigger.Grev wrote:I'd think this would be an opportunity to learn.

Yes, but they're fitting and they look nice. Imagine scaling down one of the pics from the first page, such as the rancor or republic commandos.Twilight_Warrior wrote:I'm fairly certain your own special rank's image was taken from somewhere else (KotOR perhaps?).

Re: New Ranks - fun way to get custom ranks..images...
All I imagine is guru being smart and cropping them to show just the head, like I'm sure the posters intended the images to be, and THEN scaling them down. Which is probably what he also did with the Sith and Jedi ranks.Grev wrote:Yes, but they're fitting and they look nice.

Well, first of all, I think it's kind of a disservice to make Guru, the guy who going to be GIVING us these ranks and images, the job of actually editing and making the images we plopped in from Google Images workable and good looking.RogueKnight wrote:I don't think anyone cares who is smart and fast.
