Chapter Break Survivors

[starfallz]

That looks like a good size. I was also thinking when things start mounting up, when we have 20 chapters or something, we could have them consolidated by book. Like you were waiting through all the chapter breaks of book one, you could have a Book One ribbon.

For the forum they could maybe be just a tad larger than the flag icons, since those work so well. A little smaller than this mayhaps?

You read my mind, fim!

This is probably totally far-fetched and impossible but I wonder if it would make sense to rig up some kind of system to award them automatically? Or, on request? Otherwise (and this is me being a cynic here) what would stop people from just putting whichever one they like most into their signature, without actually having that credential?

Court martial>Firing squad?

[tabeabd]

This is such a cool idea!

I agree with those who say we should use the one from our first chapter break. But then maybe there can be some special badges, like prologue veterans like someone said, those who were there for the introduction of Reynir, and whatever other "big deal" events that will happen.

Fimby, would you mind putting down that rifle for a sec?  [nervous smile]

[Solovei]

If there's interest in a general Achievement-type system, there's a few external options like OpenBadges that I can look into, but I like the idea of it being something made by the members.

I did some colors for the rest of them and an altered design for the Book 2 chapters. Let me know what you think.

My immediate thought was that the red in Chapter 6 is too strong/prominent. Also maybe Chapter 5 should have some purple?

Ooooh! I like! *checks to see if she has any fabric/thread/craft stuff of these colors*

I agree. Chapter 6 had a really fluffy pastel color scheme and I think it was more tilted towards periwinkle than red? However, everything else seems spot on to me! Great job starfallz!

The red is for the braid.

[Piney]

The red is for the braid.

I understood that, but considering the others are based on the main color schemes it stands out to me knowing that there wasn't red in that chapter's main color scheme.

Myself and some others were thinking it would be kind of neat to have badges to show which chapter breaks a person endured and survived. My initial thoughts were for embroidered patches, but it was suggested having some military style ribbons for use online would be most best! So, I started playing with the idea and here are my notes and first digital ideas for thought and critique.

Some initial ribbon ideas:


Edit and clarify, this is the product of me and Lars brainstorming.

Such a neat idea!
How does it work? If my first chapter break was before chapter 5, would I get the badges for 5, 6 and 7?

... Is that a trick question?

Just keep in mind that some of these colours will be hard to see if you reduce the resolution. Something like this:

Something like this would definitively be perfect into forum's signature, as Solovei said
