Avatar Theme Week Central (no, not the movie)

[Cealocanth]

In that case, I'd go with the earliest allowed avatar. I'm fairly new here, so I'm sure it'd look old to me at least.

[Reinholdt]

First avatar ever?
http://s14.photobucket.com/albums/a324/JessieLink/th_kittywithgun.jpg

If it's first custom avatar ever (and I don't really believe the above is custom so much as a stolen semi-popular pic), then...
Well I'm still using it, right this very instant.
So I can show up to the week and giggle at all the other people.

[happyturtle]

Custom = non forum default = we want sniper kitten photo avatar!

[Reinholdt]

Custom = non forum default = we want sniper kitten photo avatar!

That's ok. Taking another look at the original original, it's still pretty good and cute.

[happyturtle]

It is. I always wondered why it wasn't in the rotation.

[deuxhero]

EDIT: Deuxheroes's ides of Undead week gets my vote

Undead week was Herpestidae's idea. See page 40.

Animal Week (Avatar is an animal).

He rides across the nation, the thoroughbred of sin
He got the application that you just sent in
...

I'd use Pale Rider though, don't really have a good reference for Bad Horse.

[John Cribati]

I just realized that Undead Week would work better around Halloween, so for now, I change my vote to First Custom Avatar Week.

[The Bushranger]

On Halloween week, though, we have the regulary-scheduled 'Dress As Another Playgrounder' week, I believe. :smallwink:

[John Cribati]

So then, the week before or after.

[happyturtle]

How about dress like an undead version of another Playgrounder? :smallbiggrin:

[Lix Lorn]

Lolwhut. XD

I need to get a Blue Ghost avatar. XP

[Mystic Muse]

I still want video game week.

[Gullara]

I've just recently got back to the playground so I was wondering if someone could fill me in as to what theme weeks are coming up and when. I need to brush up on the old Inkscape skills.

[happyturtle]

The past and future weeks are always shown in the first post of this thread. The next one is Monty Python week, for September 12

Though midway through that week will be Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yarr!

Other ideas that have been popular are Video Game week, First Custom Avatar Week, Undead Week and Cosplay as a Playgrounder week (for Halloween).

There is no structure or approval process for making a new week. Discuss ideas here, and when an idea gets enough momentum, someone will choose a date and make a thread for a specific week. That 'someone' can be anyone! If that someone is you, come back to that thread and link the week, so everyone will know about it, and so I can add it to the first post.

Magic! :smallbiggrin:

[happyturtle]

Someone should start a Talk Like a Pirate Day thread here in FB.

*calls 'Not it!'*

[Ashen Lilies]

Isn't TLaP Day on the 19th? It would be after the week is over...

[Gullara]

Isn't TLaP Day on the 19th? It would be after the week is over...

Sounds like it would be, I kinda forgot what date TLaP Day was, but I'll assume you know.

Nice new sig and avatar by the way, they're awesome:smallbiggrin: (not sure how new they are, I've been gone for a while.)

[Teddy]

Isn't TLaP Day on the 19th? It would be after the week is over...

That's the date for the Swedish elections this year, too. I would love it if the ballots were written in Pirate, yarr! :smallwink:

[Trobby]

Talk like a pirate day?

...Oh that's almost not even fair. :smallamused:

And first avatar? I do believe I still have the one that Fostire made. :smallbiggrin:

[Alarra]

Ooh, first avatar week would be fun. *scrounges around looking for her first avatar from 6 years ago* See...I didn't even have the option to ask another avatarist to make one for me, because I was the FIRST ONE. :smalltongue:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/Alarra/avatars/alarrap.gif

wow...I've improved a lot. or rather...paint sucks to make avatars in. :smalltongue:

[Trobby]

Oh, the first avatar that WE made? Well, I'm pretty sure I still have a link to that...

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b244/Introbulus/Myavatar3.png

First Trobbykup ever. ^.^ Ah I remember when he didn't have a jacket...

Oh, and I found this too.

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b244/Introbulus/Introbulus-edhelon-muffin-2.png

And, as long as we're sharing, the original avatar that Fostire made for me. :smallbiggrin:

[Reinholdt]

I remember that. :smallbiggrin:
In a creepy, need to hide from you sort of way. :smalleek:

[Trobby]

To be fair, it WAS during Halloween week, where we were supposed to be dressing up as other playgrounders. :smalltongue:

And because I never pass up an opportunity to pull it out...

*follows this thread*

I'm totally in favor of Undead Week.

[Trobby]

:smallyuk: I've been waiting far too long for a Video Game Week to give up on it.

Once the current week is over, I'm putting in my nomination and voting for it, and I really HOPE that we can actually manage to make it pass this time. :smalleek:

[happyturtle]

You do realize you don't need anyone's permission, right? This thread is for discussion, not permission. Whenever you're ready to start your week, just make a thread for it, and link back here. :smalltongue:

Its best if we can get everybody to agree on something though.

Personally I think video game week would be great.

[happyturtle]

It is, yes. But since everybody will never agree on anything, there's still some room for individual action.

[Ignition]

I could go for a Video Game Week, sure! Start that thread up.

[Rae Artemi]

Video game week, eh. I am ridiculously overprepared for that one. 17 different Kirby templates :smalltongue:

You know, you aren't restricted to doing female characters in video gaming. You could probably pull off a pretty good Red Mage.

As for me, I'm going to try several different things if we get an official Video Game Week.

My current avatar might even show up, even though that would practically be cheating. <w<;

Oh yeah, if we are doing Video game week, I can do Kirby-tars for anyone that wants them.

Actually, you know what would be cool? What if we had an entirely Kirby theme week? I'd like it, But you guys know me, I like anything that has to do with Kirby.

[Trobby]

We could just make a random Kirby Day, where everyone wears a Kirbytar. It seems like a specific enough thing to warrant it. ;o

Also, I totally forgot about Talk Like A Pirate Day. What am I going to do?! Where am I going to find a pirate avatar?!

...:smalltongue:

[Rae Artemi]

We could have Kirby Day on November 30th, as that is the day Kirby's Adventure was released, which, while it wasn't his first game, it was the first one where he was pink and had his copy ability.

[Asta Kask]

Bah. The trick to having a Nintendo-Tar is that there are enough characters out there that you can pick a really, really obscure one, and no one will ever know it's Nintendo.

For instance, you could be this guy.

I'll have to think about this; my options that come to mind are -

1. The Devil Soul in my current avatar following Link (Ocarina of Time) around Navi style, and Link looking concerned.

2. A Left 4 Dead 2 style avatar with the Devil Soul somewhere lurking in the D, perhaps.

3. A Starcraft Firebat, with the face in the helmet replaced by the Devil Soul.

4. A Team Fortress 2 Heavy with the Devil Soul near his shoulder.

Any avatarist with thoughts on the subject is welcome to PM me, either with offers to help or alternate ideas in the same vein.

Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! VIDEO GAME WEEK!!! YEAHHHHHHHH! :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbi ggrin::smallbiggrin:

[Trobby]

Well I gotta be in Video Game Week, but as what, I don't know yet.
*contemplates*

Ooohh...YOU, Reinholdt, should totally be Proto Man. Or possibly Zero. You have all the coolness to pull it off.

Also, saying this in advance, I think Dogmantra would make the best Gordon Freeman.

[The Bushranger]

I have...an IDEA!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f5/Bad_Idea_Machine_lolcat.jpg
...I propose: Sports Week.

[CynicalAvocado]

how about a The Stig appreciation week?

[Trobby]

Is anyone going to object if I move Video Game Week back one week? I think it's the general consensus that it would be best.

[Roc Ness]

Wait. Does that mean it'll be This Week, or the week after next? :smallconfused:

[Trobby]

Week after next. <.<;

[Gullara]

I have...an IDEA!

Pfft, sports are for the weak and lazy:smalltongue:

*throws a helmet at* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAVDRgAAy48)
:smalltongue:

The fact that there was a link attached to that had me worried that you could throw helmets through the internets.

And the guy in the video is a nut bar. You need to throw it at him when he's out of the car, duh:smalltongue:

[The Bushranger]

Oh, I dunno. One time somebody actually scored a direct hit and managed to get their helmet right in through the window. :smalleek::smalltongue:

[Gullara]

Nascar(?), bring crazies together since *insert date here*:smalltongue:

I think that applies to every sport though.

[Haruki-kun]

So suppose I decided to participate in this one....

....what should I be? I thought about Pit, but that's just too easy. I already did a Kirby hat once...

.....I know! How about a Sackboy? :smallbiggrin:

[Lix Lorn]

how about a The Stig appreciation week?
I support this.

[ghost_warlock]

So, whatever happened to Lego week? Cuz I totally have an avatar for that one. :smallfrown:

[Trobby]

He's the incredibly awesome secret identity'd driver in the show Top Gear, a British show where they test out cars for speed and quality, get celebrities to race around a track in a cruddy car, and encourage people to support top-model cars for the sake of progress in automobile technology.

Granted if you haven't ever owned a car, it's not as relevant to your interests, but it is still incredibly funny. I mean, I don't even drive and I like it. :smalltongue:

It's on BBC. Feel free to check it out.


ION: Video Game Week Has Been Moved To The 10th-16th of October. It will not be moved again. This is the final spot for it, and I will not be changing it again.

Oh, that explains it. I've never watched BBC (except for a couple of times my Grandma had me watch cash in the attic with her) and don't own a car. I'm also fairly sure I don't even get BBC anymore.

[Dogmantra]

Dude, BBC is the industry definer. Watch more. :smalltongue:

It defines the industry considering it is in the TV license selling business and other channels are in the advertisment business.

Did you not see the part of my post where I said that I don't even get BBC any more?

[Dogmantra]

I was going to suggest iPlayer but then I realised you probably can't get that in the Americas. :smallfrown:

[Trobby]

Youtube can save us! (http://www.youtube.com/show/topgear?pl=40C7099329115048)...somewhat...mostly it's just compilations of old episodes. <.<; You might be able to find some Dr. Who on there too...

[Strawberries]

So, this will be my first Halloween in the Playground.

Can someone explain to me how the halloween avatar thing works?

[horngeek]

If I remember correctly, you dress up your avatar as someone else's.

[Trobby]

Right. So for example, I'd post this avatar (my usual one):

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b244/Introbulus/BlackwingPirateAvatar3.png

And you could dress up as that avatar, putting a bandana and coat on and holding out a gun.

Or I could break out my female avatar and have her wear a blue skirt, white shirt, and summon a strawberry.

Of course, usually before the week begins someone puts up an Avatar thread for people to give their permission to make avatars of them, so that you know who is willing to participate.

[Rae Artemi]

I wanna dress as the Kuppy! I already have plans... Can someone say ponytail?

[Strawberries]

Oooh, cool. Thanks! :smallsmile:.

[Blue Ghost]

Hmm, I think I'm going to use the same avatar as I did last Halloween.
http://i29.tinypic.com/tal9jt.jpg

Unless I get a better idea?

[Lix Lorn]

Let's dress as each other. XD
I'll dress as a chaste wizard. You genderswap and be a seductress. With an uncomfortable expression from how much flesh is showing. XP

[Blue Ghost]

Um... :smalleek:

Uncomfortable enough yet?

(How do I dress as a seductress while still being recognizable?)

[Lix Lorn]

Easy! Have the robes on, but have them open at the front, showing skimpy underwear, XP.
And with red blush visible from the shadows. XD

[horngeek]

You wear the dress over your cloak, of course. :smalltongue:

[Blue Ghost]

I suppose I could do that... if it's somehow forced on me. I cannot imagine myself doing that willingly. I can, however, imagine quite a few people who would do it to me.

[Lix Lorn]

Like me? XP
'Hold Person. Reverse Gender. Now, let me fix your outfit...'
'...:smalleek:'

[Blue Ghost]

Yes, Exactly.

[Mystic Muse]

So, do we have a list of people who are allowing their avatars to be used yet? Might be a good idea to get that done ASAP.

EDIT: All my avatars except for my two half demon ones (long story about those) are available as costumes. Photobucket account here (http://s1206.photobucket.com/home/Zernobog888).

[happyturtle]

Someone should make a Halloween avatar thread, and do it there.

Speaking of threads, this thread is getting close to 50 pages. I can continue on as we have done, but if someone else wants to take over the thread and manage the avatar weeks differently, speak up.

[Recaiden]

Let's dress as each other. XD

Why are you bothering to swap his gender?

Now, anyone who wants to can dress up as me.

[Mystic Muse]

Why are you bothering to swap his gender?

Now, anyone who wants to can dress up as me.

maybe she thinks it's funnier when she does that?

[Lix Lorn]

Why are you bothering to swap his gender?

Now, anyone who wants to can dress up as me.
It'll embarrass him more.
If I were REALLY mean, I'd reverse gender and not provide him a bra. XD

[Roc Ness]

...

I'm not swapping anything with anybody while Lix is around. :smalltongue:

[Blue Ghost]

You cruel, cruel woman... :smallsigh::smalltongue:

I'll give my permission for my likeness to be used for Halloween Week.

You cruel, cruel woman... :smallsigh::smalltongue:
Considering I HAVEN'T used mind affecting powers to seduce you, I am decidedly NOT cruel. XD

[Roc Ness]

Coward. XP :smallbiggrin:

And yet my dignity is still intact. :smalltongue:

Anyhow, I dunno how I can swap with anybody, so I shall invest instead on a traditional Hallow's eve avatar. Mwa-ha-ha-ha-haaa! In your face, Tradition! You'll never take me alive!
:smallbiggrin:

[Skeppio]

Sure, I'll give permission for someone to dress as my avatar. I'm not afraid of no Lix Lorn. :smalltongue: I guess just PM me beforehand, so I know who's using it.

Here's my regular avatar:

Anyone can use my avatar.

I think I'll do a Blue Ghost of some sort. Just adding eyes, a color change, and trading my swords for a staff.

[deuxhero]

I don't exactly have a "normal" avatar, though I plan on ending video game week with Dahn Tsukigata (Concept art of the character (http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090604110812/megamitensei/images/4/4b/RKvKA-Dahn.jpg), Avatar (http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad119/deuxhero/Stuff/Dahn.png)). Any other MegaTen fans willing to swap?

[rakkoon]

I have made a Rakkoon avatar dressed up as Robert Blackletter. It certainly won't win any prizes but I had fun. When do we switch exactly?

On the other hand, you do have a "friend" who can. :smalltongue:

(unnerving grin grows slowly)

[The Bushranger]

Hmm.
*pokes Crimmy*
Will you be participating?

[Mystic Muse]

If I could avatar? You would.

One word. Practice.

Okay, maybe I just think it'd be funny if you messed with people. So sue me.

If you actually sue me though Sauron is going to be a bit ticked. ALL HAIL SAURON! (Joke with a couple friends of mine)

[Lix Lorn]

I don't like doing things unless I do them WELL.

[Mystic Muse]

I don't like doing things unless I do them WELL.

And the only way to do it well is to PRACTICE! Practice dangit! Otherwise it's harder to mess with the minds of the playground!

[Lix Lorn]

But between the start and when I'm good, I will not be good.

[happyturtle]

Use the oots tutorial. Practice till you get good.

[Mystic Muse]

But between the start and when I'm good, I will not be good.

So you're not going to do anything unless you're instantly good at it?:smallfrown:

[Lix Lorn]

(shrugs) I have things I'm good at. For instance, fire emblem mugshots. I can splice them. Spriting... a little bit. I fixed Dragonite, and made a cool Celestial Machamp.

Right now, the only thing I do to manage this thread is every few weeks, adding a link to the first post when a new theme week thread is made. So it's no work for me to keep doing it.

At first, there were nominations and voting and stuff, and that got to be too much for me to manage. if other people wanted to go back to that system, then someone else would have to take over. And I would be glad to step down to allow that. :smallsmile: Or I can step down to allow someone to do the stuff from paragraph one but with more enthusiasm. :smalltongue:

The only thing I ask is that whatever new system, that the archive of previous weeks be kept easy to find. So, up to you, Lil Shiro.

Of course, I would spoiler previous months and there competitions/links. And umm... I really don't mind doing it, but I don't think I have to insist on it.

Ok, so the conversation in the Halloween Avatar thread seems to indicate that a lot of people want a Lantern Corps avatar week, so, to keep the other thread on topic, let's move the discussion here. So, first line of business would probably be, if we are going to have it, when would this be?

[Gullara]

I'd say a couple weeks after the end of Halloween week would be good. It would give people time to get organized.

[Blue Ghost]

I'd say at least a month's time. We need some time for our regular avatars too.

[Gullara]

I'd say at least a month's time. We need some time for our regular avatars too.

You're probably right, but I'd say 3 weeks instead of a month.

[Skeppio]

It'll give people time to take the test and get their colours too. :smallbiggrin:

[Rae Artemi]

They don't necessarily have to take the test. They could just do what I did, and decide which color best suits their character.

Okay, so does November 21st through 27th sound good?

Ok by me. I have to come up with a trademark avi then make a theme week one anyway.

Well, if anyone wants to Blue Lanternify mah Dragon... :smallamused:

I just searched for the test cause it may help people aho can't choos.
I am not sure if the test is good.

The test is law. If it wasn't would I be making a Violet avi?:smallbiggrin:

[Lix Lorn]

I started something! I feel speshul. ^_^

[RabbitHoleLost]

Rabbit's a Red Lantern.
No doubt about it.

...I usually skip a few weeks to keep my avatars around a bit, but this really tempts me >>

[Reinholdt]

I'm Violet Lantern! I feel pretty!
...
Hush up. :smallannoyed:

*cough*

The generally agreed-upon time between theme weeks is, I believe, six weeks. :smallsmile:

Woot! Join the club *high five*

[happyturtle]

A vote was taken, and 6 weeks is what was agreed at the time.

[The Bushranger]

Plus, if we have theme weeks too close together, they lose their special-ness. :smallsmile:

*pouts* Fine have your six weeks:smalltongue:

[happyturtle]

What BR said, plus avatarist fatigue. Look at how many people didn't get the avatars they requested for video game week.

[RabbitHoleLost]

I felt like they lost their specialness when they started being planned and not spontaneous, tbh.
But it was all sorts of a chaotic mess for a bit, so I guess it was necessary.

Good point. I've taken only a couple requests for Halloween and I'm already feeling the pressure. Midterms at the same time might have something to do with this too though.

They stopped being spontaneous long before this thread. Usually one week wouldn't even be over yet before people started campaigning for the next one.

Oh, I know. Wasn't blaming it on the thread.

I feel like some old person complaining :smalltongue:

In my day, we didn't have a guaranteed Avatar Theme Week once a month! We had ones for special occasions, maybe a couple a year, and we liked it like that!

[Katana_Geldar]

Have you had a Beatles theme week? My frustrated Dm would look good with John Lennon glasses.

[Trobby]

Well, it sure looks like we'll have to make a new thread soon. :smallsmile:

<.<; And just for reference, I'm almost certainly a Blue Lantern. :smalltongue:

[Zefir]

I feel so lonely I am the only real Yellow latern.

Maybe I should lower my intention to rule the world .

Don't give up on your dreams. I bet you could take over the world and enslave humanity while you're at it. All in time to get home for supper. :smalltongue:

[The Bushranger]

BR would, of course, be a Green Lantern.

...I need that avvie, week or not. :smallbiggrin:

[Morty]

I have to say, I'm thoroughly confused by this whole "lantern" thing.

[Trobby]

This article on power rings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_ring_%28DC_Comics%29) might help explain what we're referring to.

[CynicalAvocado]

has there already been an anime week?

[Ashen Lilies]

Hmmm... not sure if I'd get in on Lantern week. Not that big into American/Western comics, except for the movie/animated adaptations. Hell, I wouldn't even know where to find any. Most of our cultural imports come from Japan or South Korea, for semi-obvious reasons.

[Trobby]

Huh...you know, I think we need a new thread soon. :smalleek:

[Gullara]

Huh...you know, I think we need a new thread soon. :smalleek:

We have 18, no 17 now, posts left.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be participating either. I'm just not familiar with it. And not too appreciative of superhero comicbooks.

[Trobby]

You know, we COULD just have a superhero week.

And those who don't like comic books can use heroes from other mediums.

Bushy, I think you're already covered. :smalltongue:

[horngeek]

...catperson week? :smalltongue:

[Trobby]

But...but my doggy tail! D:

[Gullara]

All I know about it is that they have fancy rings that do stuff. Heck, I didn't even know that there were other colours besides green.

[Mystic Muse]

Guys, we're extremely close to the 1500 post mark. Can somebody make the new thread? I would but I'm not sure what all I'm supposed to do.:smalleek:

[happyturtle]

Lil Shiro was going to, but I guess he/she forgot. Basically whoever makes the first post needs to add the links to any new theme week that is created.

I'll go ahead and make it now.
