Up until the $50 mark in the donations, the donator ranks have tons of stuff tacked on. That's not to say that the higher tier perks aren't awesome, but perhaps a new forum rank would entice more people to get the higher tier donations? The perks you get are awesome at $100 and $150, but they're pretty sparse, too.

My idea for the rank is just a gold rendering of the donator, which you've probably seen around. It would also bring a little color to the forum. :)

I'll look into it.  A forum rank is easy, I think... or some kind of special group.

The higher ranks tangible benefits are sparse because they are also the hardest ones for me to put together. :)

Yeah, the character creation and book are pretty involved, no denying that. If anything, the $100 perk seems like more of a pain for you than the $150 perk(d/t possibly hours of back and forth on the specifics).

Shouldn't be too much back and forth, I guess.  The idea is that the template might be based on a character you've already created... either one you like or one you created specifically for the purpose.  It's why that perk has to be done later because it requires full character creation/customization to be available as well as clothing options and so on.

The book will be real work... especially considering that I've slacked off on art creation.  Given the number of years that have gone by, I'd have expected to have a lot more paper art by now.

Hmm. There should be an "add membergroup" tab in the administration panel of smf. Setting it up just like the donator group, but with the different image should do the trick.

Yeah, I just couldn't decide exactly how I want to do it.  I also may think on the image a little.  The yellow dragons has three strikes against it for me personally: 1) I don't like the color yellow that much, 2) it's not 'on brand' so to speak, 3) it doesn't feel special enough for its intent.

Either of the first two could be overcome by laziness on my part... but the last one makes me want to think about it a bit in case I think of something different.

Maybe the tier count is by how many dragons you have? ;o

Avatar + info + 6 dragons + contact buttons = D:

Also @Paul I tried photoshopping your avatar to make the paper transparent but the image quality was just too good. xD

and with the dying breath of my phone battery, I present you with...

Heheh... yeah, I've cleaned it up a few times before but I like the charm of the "whiteboard drawing" so I leave it.

As "art", it's just "okay".  But as "quick whiteboard doodle" it's a bit more impressive. :)

I think it's really good, personally. That, or I just think the look of sheer indifference that the work exudes is kind of funny.

To me, that's like the look all non-angry male lions have: "I could eat you but I'm tired... so... whatever."

The icon could just be a doodle of a crown... Or maybe it could be a custom rank kind of thing? That'd be kind of cool I guess.

Keep reminding me of this.  I like the crown idea but it also didn't jump out at me as "yeah, that's it!"... but it's a high contender at this point.

I don't have time to do this right now but I also don't want to forget it... so thanks for reminding me.

Will do.

Take the Lara Croft heads and use those. It would be so majestic, watching them glide through the skies of the Mythruna forums. :P

P.S. If you're a modder and you're reading this after mobs have been implemented... Make Lara Croft heads into a mob. Please.

... You could do an energy crystal kind of thing, perhaps.

Been thinking of screen capping one of my castles and seeing what I can do with it.

I can see castles with drawn on banners running down them looking kind of cool.

Maybe the high tier donators should get the dragon and the lower tier donators should get the castle icon? The dragon demands a big more reverence, I wager. Just an observation, given how people are more often than not completely obsessed with dragons around here. >.>


Also you remind me of captain Urahara from Bleach... I have no idea why, but it had to be said. (That's not a bad thing, either. He was/is an awesome character)

That's an odd reference.  heheh.

Not obsessed, but we're more interested since Paul is teasing us with how they willl be. AND LET'S NOT FORGET THE SHADOW... PEOPLE... things... ...I already forgot...

I think it's because you said you work best under pressure. Urahara always ends up nodding at the fact that he earned his place as a captain once by doing incredible stuff... But he always got things done right before someone was going to get killed. (There is one exception with the Hogyoku, but spoilers shall not pass!)


Aren't obsession and interest essentially the same? :p

Since it's not on my mind all the time, I wouldn't think so xD

This is probably why I think that: (http://cdn.yourepeat.com/media/gif/001/751/831/0759eba65bfba4bdbedd02d78a964924.gif) (http://yourepe.at/1yZkcRX)

Boop. :>

Lol. Rayblon, you're suffering from the condition known as "Boopitus" which is caused by extreme boredom and is often accompanied when new posts on a forum have come to a halt.

Yep... he's doing good works. :)

I did forget, thx for the reminder. :)

High tier donator rank? (http://mythruna.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=457;type=avatar)(http://mythruna.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=457;type=avatar)(http://mythruna.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=457;type=avatar)

oh my god yes

What the what?

I have copyright for the avatar if you want it, lol.

...though that's probably not a reference you will get... the picture made me think of someone stuttering a word that started with "F" so Def Leppard immediately came to mind.

Maybe a castle tower with a crown hanging on it?

Heheh... back on topic.

I have some ideas already, I just need time to play with them.  I have a few castle snaps that I want to combine with the dragon in some way.

Happy birthday. :)

Been a while since I bumped this.

booples.

Oh and my phone keyboard is satan.

Also, the Steam summer sale is going on now and there's a game thingie you can play to get the badge for it.

Maybe there should be additional post-ranks too.

Alot of the hero members have faaar more than 500 posts. xD

(http://i58.tinypic.com/otqbfl.jpg)

only 29 posts to go.

So what is this top tier donator rank? Do people get anything special for being a top tier donator?

There are a bunch of benefits for donors, which can be found here (https://mythruna.com/donation-benefits/).

Bumpy bump.

Great. There is the list of what you get if you donate but not a link to the donating page.

I don't mean to be snippy, but that's not very helpful for people who want to donate.  Like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit's face just out of reach.

There's a donate tab on the same page on the Mythruna website. I just figured that people would be able to find that on their own.

Heh... yeah I didn't see that until you mentioned it.  I need to look at things more thoroughly. :P

Boop boop.

I wish, but something tells me that Paul doesn't want me being canon. xD

I'm excited to see some new faces during the winter break flood. ouo

So, you finally got a glimpse of the Mythruna forum in the flesh...

Don't be silly.  That's just someone who is waiting for half life 3 to come out.

Or someone working a dead-end job. ;3

Yup. This is an image dump now. No regrets.

I basically have an unlimited supply of these things at this point...

... wtf? I don't get it.

Snakes don't have hands and lizard was rubbing it in.

I buy my son t-shirts like this from shirt.woot.  He has one of a T-rex that says "Reach for the stars" and the poor thing is just waving his tiny arms.  Heheh.

Here's a thought: What if high tier donators could invite or submit for review a potential "Friend of Mythruna"?

A "Friend" as in a community member?

yeah.

In very rare cases, it kind of already works that way.  But I have to be careful not to dilute the benefit so most of the 'fom' members that aren't high donators were invited by me personally for some specific reason.
