I had a system worked out actually, although you're not bound to it, certainly:

Red: Star Wars Debators, Flamewarriors, Moderators/Admins
Blue: Star Trek Debators, OSF-Centric, Math/Science focused, Fanfics
White: Artisans, Diplomats (Occasionally Lurkers)
Green: Lurkers, Comedians
Black: Trolls and the like
Hmm yeah, I had used black for trolls as well. And I made the Pick card white, so I guess we were thinking along similar lines...

So: am I red because of flamage or SW? :P

Really, though, I couldn't chose a color, and red looked best with the picture. And you do have elements of Red in you. :wink:

Well, I did what I could. I had a bit of a problem since the dimensions of the picture were not those of the picture box on the card, and zooming in made it look a bit off. So I had to use copy/paste and eydropper/fill to fill in the blanks. I'm not the best at that sort of thing, but, at least there are no large areas of blank space to either side.

EDIT: tried to clean it up a mite.

Could someone do me in a completely non-sexual way ?

Awww. Only non sexual? Phooey.


Anyhow, a higher resolution image of your avatar might be needed. Ideally, it should not be in a portrait cut, since those are a bit of a pain to fit into the card's picture box.

Sorry, that a standard board av. I don't have a bigger picture :(

(actually, it's square already, so if you just cut the sides...)

I'll see what I can do. Though it will be the bottom that gets cut.

Didn't you have the old fed logo before, though? That might be easier to locate.

And what are your claims to fame around here?

It pains me to ask for one of these because it strikes me as lame (to ask, that is), but I fear my curiousity has gotten the better of me: How do my fellow netizens view me?

I generally associate you with the board's 40k community (come to think of it, they're probably better red than blue).

What would you like on a card of yourself? A picture, at least.

Hey, as long as they are type 4 playable that's fine (type 4 is a joke type were you get unlimited mana per turn, but can only play 1 card per player turn. It is a fucking riot to play, because some of the most idiotic plays win you games.)

Argh! It's GOFER again!

Heh, should cost a red mana to cast, since it's a red creature. Might want to give it 0/1 unless you want it to die as soon as it is played. :P

Ah, I'll add in the red mana, thanks for the tip.

And yes, the dying as soon as it's played is intentional... Seeing as in Gradius II, he dies on his own if you don't attack him.

Whaa? Not much of a challenging end to a game, is it?

That's sort of a tradition in the Gradius series... the final "boss" is always a complete pushover, been that way since '85. It's the main portions of the levels that are the difficult parts.

I guess he wasn't the strongest after all, then. :lol:

An interesting proposition...

Any preferance on image, quote, abilities, etc.?

I would propose that RedImperator's quote be, "... like the weight of my enormous balls on your mother's chin."

Unless, of course, he has a better idea.
