    Speaking of which, how come Xiao never got a custom avatar? She has 1000 posts and is in good standing isn't she?

    God dammit! Why does everyone always get my name wrong? I have the decency to copy-paste others' names when I refer to them. X_x

    (I'll admit that you got it closer to correctness than most though.)

    I noticed that a while ago, but I didn't mention it because I reckoned that if my reputation had anything to do with the stimulus of Xiao's avatar, what the avatar would become might be affected negatively.

    Nolanoth, before I pull out my shiny old Banhammer and smash your head so hard that the remains of your brain splash across the vast reaches of the known universe, do yourself a favor and read through, let's say, 30 random threads? Chances are, you'll learn something.

    Oh, and don't make mistake #1 and reply to this post before you've done so.

    You should have called yourself GarmBarf instead. Then I could call you what I wrote in the quote brackets.

    Not many individuals have a personal issue with me. I don't think you do; I believe you are just making a few jests at another's expense, but if I'm wrong, well you are one of few.

    What's required to earn an avatar isn't really set in stone. I've had over 1000 posts for awhile. I got mine simply due to longevity, and the fact that several bans never got rid of me for more than a few months. :) It takes the desire of someone whom has a custom avatar to recommend that said individual gains a custom avatar. Also, it was suggested that, after me, none be given for awhile. So where things stand? Who the fuck knows. This is Terra Arcanum.

    Garfield: The issue is that GarmGarf is typed primarily with one hand, the left hand, which tends to have a slightly higher rate of errors then the right hand, or words that require both hands, due to the nature of right handed people. That, and the fact that you complain, so people like DE come up with humorous pseudonyms like GarmBarf.

    Nolaloth: Read the rules carefully. You don't've to adhere to them perfectly, you just've to live through your first 100 posts or so, and you'll be fine. After that you should've discovered our organizational structure (ie: you are the bottom of it. Except, maybe, GarmBarf). If this seems to unstable, feel free to post purely in the Module Discussion section. You'll find there's a decent number of people whom almost never post in this section for similar reasons. :)

    The fact is that I don't contribute much to this forum so I have to complain just to get some posts in. I lack a personality really.


    Oh yes, well done Nolanoth! You have officially outranked me on the forum status ladder. Usually, all it takes to do that is register, but you dropped a bit with the smilies but then came back up.

    Grow one! The sooner you do, the sooner I'll be able to see your posts and know that I'm either going to like it, or dislike it. I hate this whole 'what's this one gonna be' bullshit. :lol:

    I like it actually. A shade futuristic maybe (Xiao's always been a steampunk girl to me), but as dog put it, the collar does the trick.

    I may be able to squeek a few out, because Xiao's pretty cool and I think she's earned her own avvie.
    The only problem is I've got a problem differentiating certain colors, so perhaps a joint effort of creation may be required.

    Wow... I'm gone for a few days to be on my my cousin’s wedding and look what's happens. And is that a Van Buren picture?

    Edit: I'm drunk! Don't mind the typo's...

    There weren't any typos in your post. You weren't drunk enough to be posting. :)
