Soviet Avatars!

klesh · March 15, 2003, 19:15

Greetings Comrades!

I have taken the liberty to make up a few avatars that we might use in our posts, just to spice up the feel a little bit. Of course you are welcome to use them as your regular avatar, but that not neccisarily needed. If you want others, request them now. Some are for specific use only.

I had debated with Henrik the posibility of a rank structure, based on performance/ participation. We'll see, as things are admitiedly slow right now. Might be fun though to add some spice!

Here are the avatars for the use of the People!*

Marshal
Propaganda Commisar
Economic Commisar?
Armaments Commisar
Generals( Any other design ideas?)
Red Army 1
Red Army 2
Red Guard 1
Red Guard 2
Cavalry
Shock Trooper
Siberian Trooper
Siberian Guards
Naval Infantry
NKVD Trooper
Soviet Citizen

I currently have no images for the other 2 Ministers to use (which I think we should begin calling Commisars BTW). Also we'd need something for Pravda contributors. Any ideas?

What do you guys think, should these be up for grabs (from the Red Army down) and all can be picked from. or should like the red army 1 be peoples starting rank, and as you participate more and actually post your thoughts etc, you get to move up to guardsmen, shock trooper etc.

Thoughts?

yeah they look awesome. As for avatars for the other comissars: have you looked at Alex's Russian Civil War scenario? I has an agitator unit which might work for something, but most importantly it has a comissar unit. It's fun scenario anyway

As you progress you should also increase in rank, methinks.

I had looked through RCW, thats where I got The Propaganda Commisar. I don't know, I passed Alex's Komisar up the first time through, maybe he could be the Armaments Commisar?

He looks a bit too early 20th century to me? No?

I like 'em

Of course, a true servant of the Soviet cause would never aspire to be more than a Citizen of the Soviet Union.

edit: quite frankly I was pissed when I posted the pic of the marshal

Pevonian · March 16, 2003, 06:50

That Marshal looks very good fairline, I'd use him. As for the other Commisars, alas I have no ideas.. I'll look through some of the scenarios I've got, but I guess you all have them too....

nice avatars

The ANZAC · March 18, 2003, 20:46

So can we start using the Red Army avatars at least?

Edit: 'Poly and CivFanatics are only letting me DL pics as BMPs. Anyone know what is wrong?

H Tower · March 18, 2003, 22:55

try using a browser other than IE, i get that problem so times too for some reason, except for all websites only download as bmps

curtsibling · March 19, 2003, 04:50

I wish I could use one, but I have not enough posts!

Shaka Naldur · March 19, 2003, 07:31

if a join an important position i'll change mine,
not at the moment though

The ANZAC · May 10, 2003, 12:11

*BUMP* It seems as though many citizens of our fair Rodina have not been patriotic enough to show support! Maybe purges are needed...

H Tower · May 10, 2003, 22:11

it also seems some Generals are getting too big for their britches and selecting avatars that are not a correct representation of their position. Indeed, purges are needed...

No I want Front Commanders to wear the Brown Feild Uniform. They are "in the feild" anyway.

The pretty uniform with the red stripped pants is for the Marshall.

Is everyone clear on this now!

Then drop it, Im getting bored with this topic. The Anzac changed so Im happy now.

FiGu · May 12, 2003, 08:49

ok, ill make a new one then

FiGu · May 12, 2003, 08:57

Even the marshall will join the battle against the krauts!

conmcb25 · May 12, 2003, 08:57

Thanks

Iron Chancellor · May 14, 2003, 14:05

What level need you be to have a custom avatar?

I think its 500 posts so you are halfway there

FiGu · May 14, 2003, 15:34

Here's the economic Minister avatar!

Shaka Naldur · May 14, 2003, 16:46

it looks like an evil capitalist

The ANZAC · May 14, 2003, 17:22

No capitalist pig-dogs as economic ministers!

Long live the proletariat!

Shaka Naldur · May 14, 2003, 17:37

we like the icon figu, we are just too much into the game

Iron Chancellor · May 14, 2003, 17:43

I can't help but feel that this avatar is more than a little too capitalist.

Dr. Nick · May 14, 2003, 21:14

It has dirty pounds sterling! Give us rubles!

The ANZAC · May 14, 2003, 22:07

I am working on a more proletariat economic minister, however I do not know what the ruble symbol looks like

Could someone direct me to picture of one?

conmcb25 · May 14, 2003, 22:15

Can we please make the comments productive? FiGu was trying to help us out.

Dr. Nick · May 14, 2003, 22:27

Well, the avatar is very cool. But I'd rather see a coal miner or a man shovelling coal in a steel mill. Or wait, that should be the Armaments Minister

Iron Chancellor · May 14, 2003, 22:53

Con, you're right, I just wanted to point out the irony of the anti-capitalist worker's paradise led by a capitalist.

I do like the avatar, and some day, god willing, when I break that magic 500...
