Icons in signature?


Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm brand new, and my question is about the icons and titles like "Assassin" in people's signatures. Who do you earn those?

Thank you for any help!

Those titles are just for fun, you don't have to "earn" them. If you participate in one of the 6-Week Challenges, you can pick one of the "guilds" that best fits your goals, and post your challenge progress in that forum. The whole idea's sort of like an rpg game, and they first outlined it here. If you want to join one of the guilds, just start a thread in that forum introducing yourself, and you're in! You don't have to do a 6-Week Challenge (although they're AWESOME), and if you do, you don't have to do the rpg-style stats and stuff.

If you want one of the awesome badges, they're linked in this thread, and you can put one in your signature.

Hope that helps! Holler if you've any other questions.

Okay so I get the icon things but I don't get the stats that come with them. I understand that they are based on RPG's but what do each of them stand for and how do I determine the amount of points they get? Or is it mostly guess work?

Yup, 15 points to start off, and you assign them wherever you think best describes you currently. If you scroll down to the second/third posts here, spezzy explains how those attribute points work. If you participate in one of the 6-Week Challenges, you set your own goals and then decide which attribute you'll level up (and by how much) if you accomplish each goal. Again, there's a 15-point limit for those challenges, and I think you can't award yourself more than +5 in any one attribute at a time.

Throughout the 6-Week Challenge, the mods have also given some mini-challenges that you can do over a weekend to earn an extra point in some attribute. It is crazy how hard I will work to add +1 to some arbitrary number in my signature. Motivation ftw!

Posting a reply just to bring this back to the top. Good newbie info in here, especially if there are going to be new challenges after 17 September (ummm, are there going to be new challenges after the current one ends 17 Sep?).
