Madness (Our House) [Quenched]

[Gilligan]

Probably won't fit but bigWham for Lack or just Wham, BMO for Andy, Nobodies for DIM, Blake for wicked.

Two of those people don't have avatars to use!

Can we create the avatars? Suggestions?

I feel like the avatars on the map should be somewhat nostalgic to the person that it is portraying (ie, lack ALWAYS used the turtle, andy ALWAYS used Curious George)

Just slapping a picture to represent a person I think is a bit silly because no one will understand the references.

What about asking the people concerned what they would like to have themsleves represented by?

If it's used as their avatar, sure. Personally, that's what made Lack, Andy, Wicked and DiM really pop on that map because it's also what I saw in the forums whenever they posted.

An idea for you over this. How about letting the entertainment team run a competition with the winner going on for wicked.

As for ideas on names, here are two for you.
nobodies - always a gheko
gilligan - always seen him as a pirate.

BMO would be an easy add, but not sure about bigwham.

i'd started a revamp of the graphics some time ago...
so if we go down this road, i think it would be an idea to revamp this also.

That would be totally up to you. It would have to go through the graphics stage again. If you do this, start a new thread and we can get it bumped up to the Main Foundry so you can get the graphic revamp done. Then once everything is good to go and it passes, then we'll merged the two threads.

I'm totally for a graphic revamp. While I like it the way it is, it has great potential. Especially now cause you've done 100 maps since this one.

the bottom 4 of Lack, Andy, Wicked, DiM could be changed to Wham, rds, KA and not sure how thenobodies80 would be abbreviated.

alternatively we could put the names of the different owners in there with Lack, el Jefe, bigWham and in a few months we'll have the fourth.

tnb80 is the abbreviation i beleive

What about current admins?
king achilles (K.A.)
blakebowling (blakeb)
rdsrds2120 (rdsrds)
bigWham (BWham)

This was the revamp i was starting before, new colours, more earthy etc. This is done in Illustrator and much clearer than using FWs.



If we go for the revamp, my plan would be to:
1. reproduce the plan taking this forward to the stage where everyone was happy with it
2. throw the image into Sketchup, and try producing some 3D walls and furniture etc on high vertical vanishing point
3. export this .png image to Illustrator again and finish with the army circles and text.
4. For the map region text, it might even be possible to explore the text in 3D also, although i have yet to determine how this might be acheived in Illustrator.

i am reasonably confident that something can be accomplished for "2." from this image

i was tempted to suggest blake however went with tnb80 as the equivalent to DiM - either would be a worthy addition.

Ahem! tnb80 is the equivalent of Andy, sorry (foundry foreman, yes )

If you go the 3D route, degaston had a great programme when he tried his murder 1 map. I believe the programmes name is in the thread but it might be quicker to just ask him.
