I've had the idea for a while of common campaign ribbons for all the D2 folks. Now, a couple of fleets already have their own (F9th in their sigs and KAT on MRess's webpage), but I still liked the idea of common ribbons for all of us.
After collaborating with F9thRyker on the subject (he does the ribbons for the 9th fleet), I did up some ribbon wips...
(http://home.comcast.net/~wanderer01/Wips/CommonRibbons1.gif)
As you can see, I combined a number of campaign "series" into one ribbon. I did this out of a concern that individual campaign ribbons would take up a lot of space in the signature line, particularly for the long time vets of the D2. Of course, there are those that came later to the D2, such as myself, or missed a campaign for whatever reason, so the "combined" ribbons have elements that can be customized for each person. Using myself as an example...
(http://home.comcast.net/~wanderer01/Wips/myCW.gif) My first campaign was CW5, so I only have the 'V' marked.
(http://home.comcast.net/~wanderer01/Wips/myGW.gif) For each of the GW campaigns, there is a 'pip'. Since I missed GW3 (and assuming I play 5 and 6), the third 'pip' is missing.
(http://home.comcast.net/~wanderer01/Wips/mySG.gif) Fo SG, there are bars in the background for each campaign. I played SG3 (and will play SG4), so my ribbon is shown thus.
As I said, these ribbons are wips (in fact, I plan on changing the Storm Season ribbon, I'm not satisfied with it). If there is enough interest in this project and I move forward with it, I'd love to have the individual admins of the campaigns chime in with any comments or suggestions they might have regarding the ribbon for their campaign(s).
What say you all?
-
I'd be interested, Wanderer. I've long wanted to do that with my sig, but have never taken the time to get it done.
This will be even better, because you'll likely do a better job anyway and I can just mooch.

oH YEAH... tHAT'D BE SOMETHING i'D DO. OOPS CAPS.
That'd look cool in a pic. I'd like to know who all has had the campaign exp. That'd be something to see...
-
If you change the Storm Season ribbon, leave enough room for a part III.
Thanks ;)
-
I would be all for it, but it would up to the KAT leadership to decide.

Well It would have my support, although M'ress is the Patriarch.

Of course some of us don't remember what campaigns we fought in.
Hmm have anything akin to a purple heart?

wtf have u been smoking? katnip? If you dont remember the campaigns you fought in, there is no wonder why u keep forgetting your madskillz in battle.

Excellent work there, as usual, Wanderer :thumbsup:

Jeff, you bastard!!! Now I won't be able to concentrate on anything else all day! ;D
(Except scotch, and women, and cigars of course.)
-
Very nice, Wanderer. Some pilots may have trouble getting all those ribbons in their sig pic, tho. ;D
I'm not even sure which one was my first serious campaign on D2, since for a long time I was strictly a SL/GZ player. One of the CW servers, but I'm not quite sure which.
It's all that Lyran RedLeaf... ;)
-
Looks good Wanderer. I think it will be a matter for the individual as to whether they want to wear the ribbons, rather than any leadership thing. Yours are very good, and I'd be interested :)
-
Agree w/ Gook. Very good job. What I do like is the fact that you kept them small so they wouldn't dominate the sig.
Don't forget Rooks Tavern, Litter Box, Triangle, and Herr Bert's campaigns. Any others I forgot?
-
Don't worry, Green, I haven't forgot the other campaigns. I just did up these few to start with to get the idea out there.
I'm glad folks are liking the idea so far, even though it will mean a lot of work for me, lol.
-
I'm going to go ahead and do this. Any player wishing to have ribbons added to their sig, I'll be more than happy to do it for you when I complete the set. Still trolling for comments, especially from campaign admins. These are your campaigns that I'm making ribbons for, after all. I'm more than open to any suggestions or comments that you might have.

You should use slices of cheese to represent the number of campaigns. ;)
-
Very cool Wanderer, I'm all for it.
-
Well I was going to print a bunch of
"I survuved Clan Wars and all I got was this lousy Tshirt" shirts
but your idea sounds much cooler.
Of course i don't have sig space either, so really I'm in no
position to say.
-
Looks good.
I liked the purplpe heart idea Hexx mentioned. Maybe make it for each ship you lose. A cluster for additional losses. A silver cluster for 5. A gold cluster for 10. Paisley for 50. ::snicker::
-
Glad you're going ahead with this projec, wanderer, its a great idea.
Slave Girls banner is fine, but try a yellow colored font instead of white, if its bright enough, if not white is cool. Thay all look good, man. wtg. +karma. ;)
-
Well, if that is the case, then i am all for it. ;D
-
Keep 'em comin', Wanderer 8):thumbsup:

Can I pls. have a mission scripting bar? ;D
Something with lightning bolts, fireworks, flames. Stuff like that. *snicker*

What about with crosshairs and a dancing frog?
<Snicker>

Does anyone have the old rosters of the old servers?
Just to see who played in what server?
I played the old CW servers, but not sure which one.... I think I was on RT... but still not sure....

Interesting to look through, at any rate.

Ahhh always good to see stuff from the past, i believe that might of been the first public dyna i flew on (flew on a few GFL servers berforehand).
Just a shame looking at the large amount of people on that list and in comparision to today *sigh*
-
Yeah, it would be awesome to see the list that long again....
Remember when you actually had to WAIT to get on a server at times?
-
Although I missed the big server (ArticS?)
I do (kinda) fondly remeber the days of hoping for a server crash so
that I could be one of the 50(!) players who managed to get on.
Of course I barely flew in those days (ahh memories)
Can you believe my first PvP had Dizzy kill me ?
Actually that gives me an amusing thread idea...
(OK So Im bored)

Feel like being a clay pigeon?

CW6 (Storm Season) was my first server. ;D
