RE: [SotM] Call for "nose art" contributions!
Shad et al.
My only experience of tinkering with digital art was modifying my Site Avatar so that the eagle's wings reflect the SS-pattern not the National Eagle style. But that did give me the following idea: one can extract out the center of the counter image containing the rank/morale rating "circle" and get to about 20x20 pixels (I'm sure more experienced folks could do better). So this led me to consider the following possibilities to modify replace the artwork thusly:
1. rank abbr => "SotM"; and morale value => "play #" in order of sequence. This would look like the center of a leader counter with SotM as the rank and # of play in the circle. SotM 1 and SotM 2 and so-forth.
2. rank abbr => Game abbreviation; and morale value => "Scenario number". Thus, the first SotM badge would have ER 16.
I'm not sure this would satisfy the single color requirement, however.
Option 1 doesn't provide much info on the scenario itself, but it does at a glance indicate, in an eventually longer list, the plays in which a given user has participated. Option 2 is more informative vis-a-vis the scenario, but doesn't convey much information or continuity as how the play fits into the SotM sequence.
I'm not very handy with doing this sort of thing pragmatically, but perhaps the idea might appeal or at least stimulate others?
