pirate - twisted moon

that's mine on the far left alright.

Someone is going to be one lucky gamer!

my money's on inchmurrin.

 

[Eric]

Good looking gang, still can't believe I (mostly) forgot the spot colours! I think I was just so pleased to get it done well ahead of schedule!

Seconding the thanks to Symphonicpoet for organising and providing a base to set out on their quests ...

 

[Loose Loser]

Oh! Gang looks more then fantastic!

Symphonicpoet deserves special custom badge/icon for organizing all this hehe

Since I'm last years winner, exclude me from lucky pot.

 

[Loose Loser]

…might be the right time for me to ask to not be included in the draw.

Nonsense, far as I'm concerned.

 

[symphonicpoet]

I think everyone can be in on the draw. I wouldn't want it any other way, especially since I want in, and I was late. Let me get off my duff and make a badge. I believe I'm counting ten people:

1 twisted moon
2 epicsatsuma
3 Machen
4 inchmurrin
5 Loose Lose
6 Geroak II
7 symphonicpoet
8 sewars.of.estark
9 sleepysod
10 EricF

I think I know how we can randomize a list of ten people. As long as there are no further entries coming we'll get this done Monday and get it off in the mail. And I'll go start a 2024 suggestions thread now. Get this ball rolling . . . again. (Fortuna rota volvitur, caveat ruinem! Nam sub axe legimus inchmurrin regis.)

 

[Eric]

The smartest thing I've seen with a D10 was using it as a scatter die all in one - since it has a point to indicate direction. Guess that makes it a vector die.

 

[symphonicpoet]

Oh, neat! A d10 has both magnitude and direction. A vector it is!

 

[inchmurrin]

A truly epic collection well done all and thanks once more to the generous with his time and creativity symphonicpoet! (Fortuna rota volvitur, caveat ruinem! Nam sub axe legimus inchmurrin regis)

 

[symphonicpoet]

Okay, I think I may have a badge for everyone:

Look satisfactory? I need to either ask another mod to roll the die or just suck it up and roll it myself. (I just hesitate to do that, since, well, one of these days I'd like to win, and I don't want there to be any ill will.) Let me go ask. I do want to get the bad boys moving to their forever home.

Badges awarded! Thank you! If you want your badges automagically added to signatures there are some options in preferences section of your profile.

Let me ponder dice rolling, I'd imagine there are online tools that provide some kind of validation for the roll where the roll is cryptographically signed in some fashion. I keep wondering about writing a small bot to roll dice for this site - so you could just put something like "@dicetroll roll 2xD10 + 3" in your post and it'd spot that and generate the numbers and post it in the thread. However given this week's workload that is probably not going to happen right now Although I do have a long train journey tomorrow and I don't feel like "proper work" so you never know...

 

[symphonicpoet]

^Golgfag1 has agreed to handle the honors, and I'm willing to abide by whatever he says. No need to overcomplicate things. It's a new site and a new day. Can you grab the badge from the earlier post, or should I send it to you? (I just stuck it my own signature the old way as a test and it seems to work fine.)

 

[Eric]

All done - badge should be in everyone's profile! And thank you Paul for offering your mighty rolling paw!

 

[symphonicpoet]

Warlord Paul, the esteemed Golgfag, pulled a name from the hat. Or more accurately a digit from a die. Our lucky winner this year is sewers.of.estark! May I be the first to say congratulations. You've netted a fine haul.

Sincerely,
David

 

[symphonicpoet]

Oh, and just because I can, here's the badge in its original size.

(I know full well most of the detail won't ever be visible, but I put the stuff in anyway. And it's a lot easier to work in a larger size and shrink it than it is to work in 64x64, which is just way too small to even see clearly while you're editing.)

 

[sewers.of.estark]

While it is a truly great honor to have won such a fine lot, I honestly didn’t expect it! As I believe there are those of you who entered this challenge who would appreciate the band more than myself, I have decided after chatting with symphonicpoet that I’m going to give the D10 a reroll and pick a new winner. That being said for excitement, I suppose if I roll my number again I’ll just have to keep the lot

 

[sewers.of.estark]

The dice have spoken and appointed the new winner to be (1) twisted moon.


Thanks to symphonicpoet for running this event, I look forward to painting another figure for the next challenge!

 

[symphonicpoet]

Congratulations Twisted Moon. And Sewers.of.Estark, you are way too nice. I'd have kept the darned ruffians. (Though I might have given them a blaster gun here and there. Recruited them into the 401st century.)

 

[twisted moon]

thanks very much. i will happily accept the spoils of first loser.

 

[twisted moon]

All done - badge should be in everyone's profile!

sorry for being a luddite again, but the badge doesn;t appear to be in my signature block.
i've looked in the preferences section of my profile, but can't see if there is something i'm supposed to do to activate it.
