HOLY FUCK my third run-through gave me Overlook as the LAST choice. That's absurd. :(

At least I'm playing, I guess.
It's also hard to get Installation 04 and Unearthed now. I've gone through around 10 voting rounds since one of the last updates without either showing up.

Note though: you don't need to dashboard, there's no quit penalty for Score Attack. As an aside, if any future game has map specific challenges, the backend should increase the weight of that map for the day.

It's definitely annoying. Score Attack used to (as far as I remember, could be totally off base) just cycle through all the maps without repeating any so you could get whatever you wanted. I guess adding DLC broke that, or something.

wow wow wow, I'll wait for the new thread to share an "AMAZING" match I had on Renegade, if 343 ever see this I hope this is the last time I see Banshees on that map.

Edit: Last page!

Random thought: is there a way to set up the header so that a different one loads each time, ala the corner pic on HBO? Scrow on GAF once had an avatar that rotated the same way for a while. Not sure what's involved.

There are too many good ones right now to pick. :lol

There might be. I could set up a script on FUD that would load a new picture each time and all you'd have to do, as far as I know, is just insert it like a normal image on GAF here. I'll have a look.

That would be pretty great. It would be fitting for a community thread to have community contributions cycle through the OT like that. I imagine we could get a lot of good stuff in there. :D

I haven't had time to work on a tweaked OP - work has been apeshit this past week, and today is even worse - so it will start with the current and I'll evolve it a bit when I get time.

I really like it, but get rid of the hexagons. I think Flipyap's disdain for them has rubbed off on me. They're everywhere, and honestly, at this point, just come off as a lazy way to make something look different.

Here's one I've been using for forums that still let me input external avatars:

http://www.fyrewulff.com/fdc/rand/pa...tor_script.zip

Throw that in a directory with ".jpg" or ".png" or ".gif" at the end of it's name (so the forum BBcode will accept it) and throw images into the directory, and it'll choose one. Very simple to use.


This image will change on each reload:

that's why it seemed familiar, I used to root for Ambush. And he probably did

I'll mention this again when we get to the new thread, but Wu lovingly set us up with a script to rotate images. We have folders for both headers and footers. Right now I've tossed in four of the ones from the past few pages for the headers.

My thought is, everyone can contribute their own, and everything appropriate (ahem) will go into the rotation.

We should agree on some kind of standard for dimensions. I have to go to a meeting for the next two hours, but I have the new OT ready and will hit post in a few minutes, and I'll work in updates later today.
