I know that I don't have one, but loads of other people do, who do you think has the coolest, or do you think that yours is the best??

Mine is the best of course.

Well BTA's avatar has a fairly shiny dome but nothing compares to mine (aceept maybe my real life one). And as we all know a shiny dome is the most important attribute, I win by miles :)

I have millions of shiny scales, and i am the nearest thing here to a Dragon so i say mine is coolest.
Oh and Crawl has nearly the same as me, but his isn't green so it is crap!

All your avatars suck! LOL ;) :p

Mine is the best because it just screams:
"Im here to kick ass and chew bubblegum...and I'm all out of bubblegum!!!"

:grin: :spin: :roll:

[This message has been edited by Sir Belisarius (edited May 22, 2002).]

I think anyone with a custom avatar is obliged to say themselves. So I will do that.

Mine is the best, because... it has a shiny axe :D

P.S. - Slappy! Congratulations with winning that PC Gamer competition! I hope you're enjoying your new computer ;)

[This message has been edited by Wildfire (edited May 22, 2002).]

Mine beats yours out Sir Bel, get slapped by a shadow a couple of times, and see if you can hold that shiny sword
:D:p;):grin::rolling::spin::roll:

Mine is obvioulsy the best!
What could be better than a big ugly hungry gopher!? :grin:

Mine is the best, Trias would be a dude if he wasn't an anti-dude!

Mine is also the only one that actually looks like the person posting.

what? with a massive fist-sized glow in the dark illuminous blue keyboard?

This mouth would eat it anyday.

I think the one up in Canada is the best.

Oh, wait, you said "Avatar."

Ummmm.....HELLO!

People how is it possible that all of your are best?

I am not sure wheter mine is as "best" as the rest of yours. But I like mine. Its funny and it pretty close to my personality and vision of paradise. If we include Avatar texts that is.

Heh, very good point ArchAngel. I merely said that it would be hard for Sir Bel to hold his sword if a shadow drained his Str. I could personally care less whos is the best. Mine is the best in my mind, otherwise I wouldnt have chosen it.

Most enjoy choosing opposites for public charades...

Slappy might have the shiniest avatar, but who else but me has a tail hmm? :D

Sorvo, waits for someone to sleep;)

Ignorants wherever I look *SIGH* ... of course MY avatar is best. Nevertheless the Githyianki was second choice, a halfling cavalier would have been my choice but there was no such avatar :mad: :flaming: Anyway, the Githyianki better reflects my RL attitude when I'm in a bad mood :D

hahaha, this sooooo funny reading all you people complaining, and I don't mean to be taking sides or anything. But personally I like Sir Dargorns, I looovvve dragons.

I love the watchers Avatar! The one all level 0 members get! And ofcourse I love Annah, who is having that one?

You're avatars all suck. They are good the first 2 weeks but after then they start to get boring... always that same avatar....

My Avatar is cool.... after a few weeks, when it becomes boring... it automatically switches into another one.

So... what do I win? :rolleyes:

Mines the best.

Slappy! Slappy! Slappy!

Ara
(A devoted fan of talking skulls....)

:almostmad: How do you get an avatar? You need a certain amount of posted messages or something?

[This message has been edited by Forashi (edited May 23, 2002).]

You'r all going now where. You need a third party to choose. Call in ever one who has none and ask them. Count up the votes and see who reall wins.

If I were to pick I would be torn between Sir Dargorn & ArchAngel.

Try it with voting. The only thing is that I would keep Tal out of it so that ever one doesnt vote for him looking for a free avatar and just keep you guys here.

Forashi, all your questions are answered in the FAQ (http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/faq.html)

You can get an avatar by sending a certain amount of mails. And to get one of them pretty ones/ custom you need to:
1. Buy something from either Amazin or Chips&bits.
2. Posting a walk through to SP.
3. or by donating some of the hard stuff / cash...:heh:

I'd like to say that i think Xaelifer's is the best. Simply because it looks kinda like darth maul, the best star wars character IMHO (or maybe it is and it's just a bad angle :confused: ). Well i like it whatever it is :)

Looks like me Slappy and Xaeflir (or however you spell it) are top, though i personally admire the latter, very dark and Blade like.

/me bobs about abit in celebration. Someone also mentioned Kitiara's avatar (she has Annah). There seems to be a strong Planescape Torment bias here, Extremist will be pleased :)

I think that either Extremist or Slappy has the coolest avatar

I have to say either Mathetais or Sir Yerril.

Coolest avatar? Well mine, of course. The only unique one among the lot. ;)

The only unique one...unless you count the other custom avatars...:lol:

No, those all exist in the game files. This one was cut out from a screenshot pixel by pixel. ;)

Oh...sorry...what about Mathetais? I don't remember seing HIS avatar in the gamefiles.....I could be mistaken of course...please don't kill me...

It's from Planescape: Torment. As are probably all other avatars you don't recognize if you didn't play this excellent game. ;)

Speak of the Mathetais and *poof* here I am. I'm not the coolest avatar ... I'm the HOTTEST! (humble ... ain't I? ;) )

Faerus Stoneslammer, you are my favorite Xvart :) :square:

I actually wanted Sir Yerril's but he beat me to it ... I think his angel is pretty cool. Tal's is indeed unique, that is one buff sorcerer. "Alpha and Omega" is a great title.

I've been clicking around like crazy. I think Sir Yerrils is the coolest. Followed by Invoker's. That is one philosophical Monster... hehe

The Dustie. aka me

My favorite avatar i've actually Had is of course the "Idiot of the Week Plaque"

/me reminisces, happy days :happy:

You people are silly- Tal and Mathetais win with flying colors. Although, I was very proud of myself when I got to 50 posts, heehee- it only took me 7 or 8 months...

Oh of course mine is the best... its the cute um tail :D

I would have said the glimmery red hair and the cute face... :angel:

Ah, thank you Mathetais...I won't be an Xvart much longer though if I keep spamm...uhh...posting...:hahaerr:
Does anyone know if it would be possible to get an avatar from say...Diablo 2?

I think that they all look cool, but I lovve dragons, so sir Dargorn is probably one of my favourites...

Does anyone know if it would be possible to get an avatar from say...Diablo 2?

No. Custom avatars are only from the games covered only SP (excluding PoR:2).

[This message has been edited by Wildfire (edited May 24, 2002).]

Pixel by pixel?! Tal I draw like that for the games I make and I know that it takes time and can drive you insain. I'm guessing that your avatar is some thing like 500x400 pixels. To get some thing like that. I'm impressed, you'd you pay?

Again. The only way that we're going to find out who has the coolest avatar is a vote. So where the list of people who have a custom avatar?

I don't think they are somewhere in a list... you just have to find them by checking topics...

My vote goes to BTA

I got to admit that BTA has a floating diamond. Or is it a walking stick? I can never tell :1eye:

Actually it's a small localized whirlwind. It looks way cool in the game when it's animated. It spins around. :)

Love me or i smash you. ;)

I think the best avatars are Extremist's and Gopher's avatars
(oh, and of course Z-layrex' .Don't wanna be smashed :p)

Awww.....

And all this time I thought mine was the coolest. Now my feelings are hurt. :cry:

I like the Deviant Mage's avatar too. That cornugon looks so much like me on a sunday morning:cool:

[This message has been edited by Tasohan (edited May 24, 2002).]

Llandon, yours looks cool too

Gopher's Top Ten Avatars

1. Blackthorne TA
2. Sir Dargorn
3. Kitiara
4. Sir Yerril
5. Extremist
6. Lokken
7. Sir Belisarius
8. Shralp
9. Invoker
10. Llandon

Thank's Uytuun! Methinks it rocks! Feeeeed....meeeeee...

Haha! people like mine! Oh hang on my fav has to be Noble's or maybe Shralps....

I know my avatar doesn't look that cool (she's an old bag, that's OK, I'm headed there myself!) but I think she's the coolest character in Planescape Torment. Here's the dialogue you get if you click on her when she wanders past you in the Hive:

Elderly Hive Dweller:
"I bet ye've got all *sorts* of barmy questions!" She mimics your heroic stance: "Greetin's, I have some questions... can ye tell me about this place? Who's the Lady of Pain? I'm looking fer the Magical Girdle o' Swank Iron, have ye seen it? Do ye know where a portal ta the 2,817th plane o' the Abyss might be? Do ye know where the Holy Flamin' Frost-Brand Gronk-Slayin' Vorpal Hammer o' Woundin' an' Returnin' and Shootin'-Lightnin'-Out-Yer-Bum is?" She spits. "Dung, all o' it! I ought ta kick ye in the shins for even pesterin' a poor old woman about it all!"

Nameless One:
1. Leave

Hey, hey!! I made the top 10...Pretty Sweet! But I'm going to lobby a little and see if I can jockey up a few notches...

I mean, check out my avatar...He tough-looking, armored, and he's patting his broadsword onto his open palm casually, as if to say: "Go ahead, bring it! You're already dead!" :cool:

*** Tal...This should be the next poll! Who has the coolest avatar, and put 20 or so names in it. Whaddya think??? ***



[This message has been edited by Sir Belisarius (edited May 24, 2002).]

Only a very small percentage of visitors to SP also visit the boards, so making any polls based on the boards is pretty futile.

Dang, nobody mentioned my walking tv!?! And I think it's very funny, describes when there's something I don't understand.

But other than that I Love Extremists, it reminds me of an angry smilie, big and red.

I think that almost everyone that has a custom Avartar likes their own otherwise they would not have chosen it. My personal favorite is ArtEChoke's however. Maybe it is the comment too.

Well with all those candidates I think we should go for the first come, first served and give BTA the award =)

of course Tal can always use his mighty powers and say it's his prize :p

[This message has been edited by Lokken (edited May 25, 2002).]

LOL

All I had to do was cry a little bit! Thanks DinoTiggy1!

Hey Bel....I think my Avatar would eat yours for Breakfast! Nothing say's bad ass more than wielding 2 huge meat cleavers!:evil:

[This message has been edited by Llandon (edited May 25, 2002).]

That reminds me! I have a custom avatar coming!! Time to put photoshop to some good use!

[This message has been edited by Alex (edited May 25, 2002).]

I think Crawl's is pretty cool I love Dragons
:love: and tal's

Grr Bel, we look too much alike... I SMASH YOU!!! love ME ME ME!!!!! (eep gotta go, Tazok wants his armour back!)

Look upon my wondrously blue hands! There could be no other more smashing, more handsome or more stunningly perfect! I say mine.

Wow, I'm more popular than I thought.

:wave:

Anyway, my avatar could beat anyone's - he's got a hired army of fiends at his back!

I can't believe no one chose ArtEchoke's lumpy green thing.

/me prods Arte's avatar with a long stick.

Sure it smells funny, but it's so, uhm, interesting.

Edit: How did I miss Baldak's post? <smacks head> Sorry. Glad to see people have some taste around here. ;)

[This message has been edited by Damona Silvercloud (edited May 26, 2002).]

Damona, Baldak chose ArtEChoke's avatar. ;)

I think that almost everyone that has a custom Avartar likes their own otherwise they would not have chosen it. My personal favorite is ArtEChoke's however. Maybe it is the comment too.
I would have to concur. Who can resist those lady killing nupperibos.


[This message has been edited by Xenecor (edited May 26, 2002).]

Well, now Taluntain has made my list of coolest avatars, that new one's very cool!!

Only, this is called a portrait now, not an avatar. :D

It's the rotting arm, isn't it? Nobody likes me :(

Hey Mollusken, did you always have this avatar? I seem to remember a different one - though I cannot, for the life of me, remember what it looked like.

He had some swampy, creeping feature.

He had a pit fiend from IWD.

[There aren't any pit fiends in IWD. It was from BG2. ;)] -Tal

[This message has been edited by Wildfire (edited May 26, 2002).]

[This message has been edited by Taluntain (edited May 26, 2002).]

:lol::grin::roll:

Anyone seen Ragusa's new avatar? Gets my vote!!

short sword-weilding little red riding hood? :grin: bring on the enforced portraits! :rolleyes:

No the sod it is a halfling (finally)! What wouldyou prefer? - a funny looking kid in kimono with a huge hand (for instance)?

Nice one, Tal :)

You know, after the Slovenian performance at the Eurovision Song Contest I was going to make some "comments" concerning Tal's avatar and said performance, but unfortunately I cannot do that now... :(

Ara
(Mouse Potato Extraordinare.... spam is my middle name)

Really? I thought the picture is even more appropriate... :D:grin::D

Actually, now that you mentioned... There's a striking resemblance!

[Very funny. If you see a striking resemblance you need new glasses though.] -Tal

[This message has been edited by Taluntain (edited May 27, 2002).]

I agree with Dinotiggy1.I love dragon's.They are the coolest thing after a paladin(cavalier to be exact.)I also like Taluntain's Avatar.It really is the only unike one.

another secret unveiled thanks to Ara. Ragusa's new avatar is super, finally a real halfling

[This message has been edited by Uytuun (edited May 27, 2002).]

Yay, some one agrees with me, dragons totally kick ass.
Thanks Padine.:D:D

Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! Dragons!

How do you post something onto Sorcerers Place? I wanna get an Avatar of my own!

Dragons dont just kick ass.They can do anything.Personally i think that Aio:angel: should be a dragon:evil: (Metalic.)

[This message has been edited by Padine the Paladin (edited June 01, 2002).]

I presonally think Taluntain's old avatar is the best. (the mage with the spell effect under his feet) :rolling:

I thought that was a good one too better than his new one but thats just my opinion.

I like BTA's, Xaelifer's, and mine.

Since voting for myself seems to be in somewhat poor taste, I'll throw my vote to Slappy. His skull is just so...so...smooth.

I'd like to thank my admirers...so thank you, Tasohan.

There should be a page with everyone's avatars and taglines listed with the user. That way, it'd be much easier to choose. :)
-------
Tal, I'd organize such a page and keep it updated. Personally, I just like the look of the avatars. :)

[This message has been edited by TheBlackRose (edited June 05, 2002).]

I'd make one, but I'm recycling avatars every 3 months now so I'd have to keep changing such a page. Rather futile...

Are there that many people that are idle for three months in a row?

I've recently cleaned up 10 that were idle for half a year. Actually, your avatar is one of those 10. :p

Oh, OK.

[This message has been edited by SlimShogun (edited June 06, 2002).]

Well thank you, seems i have a little fan club set up. All praise my Dragon. Tal has Crawls avatar been recycled yet? i like that one better!

Poodle Boy - no way - Crawl last posted on May 31st (if not sooner). You'll have a long wait before the 3 months are up.

@Deviant mage.----> Ehhh lets just say i like your avatar better. (I don't want to be called an admirer:grin: )

[This message has been edited by Tasohan (edited June 06, 2002).]

Return of the Gith.

Cool, calm, collected. :)

Lord Moeken, your Avatar is HOT! It ties Xaelifer's for my #1 pick as favorite Avatar...along with Rhythm and Asmodeus, that is!

[This message has been edited by SlimShogun (edited June 17, 2002).]

I personally like Sliths, Sir Dargorn, and Slimshoguns the best.
By the way what's up with these new avatars I have not been here for a while and now these new avatars are making it feel like longer. Why did you change.

[This message has been edited by Psycho. the fanged rabbit (edited June 17, 2002).]

Pycho...
Go here (http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001902.html) and you shall have your answers

No scanned pictures of Gerald Tarrant as a portrait? The front cover of Black Sun Risingwould make for one stylish portrait yes? I wonder why there are so many avatars and so few portraits. The change from 3d to 2d would allow for slightly more detail wouldn't it?

Jerlark, the reason that Tal is the only one with a prtrait is because that is the only one he has in the system at present. He is in the middle of exams and has not the time to take the portraits out of games and put them into working order to be used on the boards.

And to answer your first question, no, no scanned pictures of Gerald Tarrant as a portrait, unless he is in any of the IE games or PoR: MoD or NWN. Thsoe are the only ones he is going to allow to be used as portraits.

total's new avatar is bloody cool! ;)

Hey, come on now. Of course MY avatar is the coolest. Who else has a blue-skinned avatar in the whole of Sorcerers Place? And look at my threads. It's the latest fashion... ;):p

yeh Rhythm, your avatar is cool, but...

:grin:

the god,
:shake:

Thanks, Psycho!

Yeh, I think that Total's custom avatar is wicked!

Mine is by far the best....

:(

I didn't really like the gems at first, but slowly I think that I am beginning to like them, nice one Tal.

Oh and Xandar Dae'Ithil, your wrong...

'Cause mine is the best, mwah hah hah
(please ingnore that last statement, a momentary lapse of sanity)

Tal has the best by far.

Oh I don't know,I still like the 3D avatars, especially Crawls, but I gotts admit, Tal's doesn't half look good.

grey skinned guy in a dress with huge spikey hair and a slick kung-fu stance......

funk

WOW. I always thought it was a pope-like hat...

Same here, but now I the New DinoTiggy1 has a custom avatar.

In all my posts I am putting that I have changed my username, just so there is no confusion!

[This message has been edited by Frostbite (edited June 30, 2002).]

Cool Avatar Frosty, bet Minsc & Boo doesn't like you though...

Hey look, I'm gonna eat whoever I like.

So there,
:hahaerr::hahaerr:

When I get my custom avatar you will all bow to me.Mwa hahahahahahahahah.

Hummm, well, Idon't know if Wyverns can bow, but they can eat hamsters for sure!

Wyvern's eat birds,snakes,hamsters and humans.

Ok, that's enough. Discover the chatroom or the spam topic and leave this one free of pointless posts.

Hey, I've posted something to SP and I don't have a website!!:(

back on the subject of coolest avatars.... its most likely gonna be an avatar taken from PS:T, because the models and characters just look tons better in that, than most the other games you can choose to take avatars from.
