What's sick is as I look at the Emporium, I can rattle off most of the names without mousing over the images. I spend too much time here. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

It's funny, I think of you people, and in my mind you look to me like your avatar. It's gonna be wierd if I ever meet you in person.

Slick: Nice to meet you Geo, I'm Slick.

Geoschmo: You're can't be Slick, you don't look anything like Harrison Ford. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Ok, I think it took. I'll just post this to see. Thanks, David.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

The pleasure was all mine. Thanks for adopting one of my orphen avatars.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

While we are speaking of avatars, and to give you another opportunity to be another step closer to your promotion ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), do you know who is my avatar? I couldn't quite fathom who, or what, it is. Thanks in advance!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">good question, all I remember about your avatar is that it is clipped from a fantasy pic. A guy and a girl standing under a blue light looking upwards. It might be a Louis Royo, or some other such artist.

A good deal of the avatars came from alt.binaries.pictures.fantasy-sci-fi or other such 'Fantasy Art' sites on the net.

Sorry that I don't have any more specific info on your avatar, perhaps someone else recognizes the pic?

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Thanks for the information, I will have a look at some galleries. It doesn't quite look like Royo, but who knows? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

it's not a subtitle, it's called 'Teaser text' (aka a catch phrase)

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

The graphics are great.

The title-logo is a very nice arrangement.

The subtitle, however, seems less than professional. In fact it reminds me of a very clever Romanian.
http://www.executrix.ro/banner32.GIF
And while that banner, with its... interesting subtitle, is great for a web hobbyist, the text does not inspire me to take it too seriously.

I do hope I'm not speaking out of place when I say that, it just strikes me so.

Oh yeah, and there's something about the word EMPIRE in serif font that is strongly familiar... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Not that I don't like that. As I said, the title is very nice.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Loser, those are not Subtitles they are tiny little teaser catch phrases. In the same way that "To boldly go where no man has gone before" is not a subtitle. The name of the game is Space Empires V (Not SE5: A Universe Reborn etc.)

Katchoo, Yes Lunarcell, glitterato and solarcell. (AKA the Space bundle from flamingpear) which I bought myself for xmas. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Those are some really nice looking logos for SEV David. Aaron is defentaly a very luck devloper to have you working with him.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">As you may have guessed that avatar is reserved for the 'current' KoTH. If that's you then you can 'wear it' while you hold the crown, but once a new king is crowned then you'll have to relenquich it to him/her.

I believe that there are also avatars for 'former KoTH' and another. Ask the people responsible for the KoTH games what the protocal is.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, I'm current KOTH. And I wear it as long as I'm the king.
