@Ryu There is no reason people should get in-game power-ups based on their participation on the forums. @ Yes, so do I. Trying to find someone to icon them - even offering SIlver as a reward - but few seem interested or capable.

But then I'd have to award myself with silver.

That's good; keep at it.

Southend will not be completing all the necessary icons and Boxshark is no longer doing art for the community, so this position and the Silver award are still up for grabs. If you want an idea of what we're looking for, Southend pulled it off perfectly: custom pixel art, simple, and single-framed.

Very cool, and thanks for your input; it has been duly noted. Boxshark is also submitting some in private, so watch out!

They are biuriful. This is what we're looking for, but ideally from someone who has time to do all of them and more in the future.

As a reminder to everyone submitting work, please make sure your icons are your own custom pixel art.

Note that I have not listed details here, so your idea may already be planned. 3) Are you already a silver or gold member? Leave your input if you have a better idea for your personal compensation. I am eager to hear your feedback! ~Crosswise

I voted to combine options two and four, but I think it would be neat to see more arbitrarily-awarded titles. Mine, for example, was set by Rory. Of course, I'm sure we could come up with more colorful and endearing titles for people: Jackass, Uchiha Fanboy, Hoodlum, etc.

This community could use a public seminar on time management. Even working a full-time job, going to school and holding a distracting fixation for both weights and women (listed in order of importance), I still have time to horse around on these forums and write.

I'll add this to the pinned thread if you can keep it updated. Good job. Just add some anime cleavage to achieve perfection.

It's refreshing to see that I am not alone in this world.

Rory will require a $300 donation from if he wants to lead Otogakure.
