custom avatars -- great idea saps! hopefully there'll be more than one prize. :D
some way to have rankings would be cool, too -- for ex, 0-1000 is a sharky folder, 1000-2500 is a sharky extreme folder, 2500-5000 is a sharky elite folder, and so on. :) 5000+ earns the rank of sharky physician folder, sharky folding god, etc. :D
Yeah without the avatar contest the Folding Team is already growing fast but the contest serves sort of like jet fuel on an inferno. Its likely only one avatar will be given out on Christmas however.
How will the winner be determined?Quote:

Lottery; everyone who qualifies will have a certain amount of ticket[s] with their name and I will draw one. I will record the whole event and post the video link so there's no crying from the losers. What remains to be determined is what our system/ratio for ticket allotment will be. Don't ask I don't know yet; Cat will tell me and I'll tell you
:cool:
what about rankings? would that be likely to happen? i was thinking of something over on the left, like under the location or something (if there are any data fields left). :confused:
There is no reason why there couldn’t be some sort of folding guild with ranks and such. All we need is to come up with a name and decide what kind of ranks and levels to use. Then we can put a little web page up with the listings.
sorry to post this in this thread, but...
serotone, clean out your PM box.
to keep it on-topic...if we're gonna have custom avatars, maybe it should be something like once you hit 5000 (or whatever) points, then you can choose to use a standard "sharky folding" avatar designed by sapasion, catalyst, or whoever. i don't think that any number of folding points deserves the same award as 5000 posts. SOMEthing would be nice, though.
That's actually a very good idea.Quote:

Consider that one Saps/Cat. :D
more like 10,000, the way Thermo's racking up points. :p
The contest winner will get to pick his/her own avatar. No other options exist. We will never have the option of get XXXXX Folding Points and earn a custom avatar. This is a special contest.
How about you have 2nd and 3rd place and add like 1,000 and 500 posts, respectivley, to the winner's post count?Quote:

I just saw this thread for the first time. I'm in.
i agree, which is why i think a special designation in the user info area would be so cool. it would add a little "extra" for team members without being an avatar, and it would also be even more advertising for the team. i for one didn't even notice the thread until at least page 35 or whatever, and many people (such as brahma) are still just noticing it even now. links can work for that, but some people have the option to view sigs turned off. :eek: if it were in the user area, it would show up wherever we posted. :)Quote:

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah. I just broke the 20GHz mark. That avatar will be mine yet! :D
here's a thought...why not put up an announcement about the folding team. like the ones where new moderators are announced. it could let more people know and get more people to join. how about it?
