As some of you have noticed, you have the clan name you belong to showing up next to your character's name.

The system detects your membership to a clan based on your access to a clan forum.

First perk of integrated clans.

Enjoy.

What about the mods of those forums. I have access but not on the memberlist since I am one of the AWC mods. There is no tag net to my name. It is probably true for the rest of the sub-faction mods as well.

But thanks for the new feature. It now renders tags useless in team names. Would it be possible to put it after the team name instead of the bot name?

You guys and gals will have to add yourselves to your membership lists since that is what the system is going to use for all clan integrations.

I still think the tag would look better in the team name.

But I still love the idea :grin:

Can you change the font for said tags? That font is absolutely hideous...where's Windy? She should be fixing these kinds of things as head of H-M-Dub Graphic Design....

Word.

They are a bit bold n' bright. Do the clans have insignias that could be used?

Not yet. But I would rather go that route if they can come up with something.

I have to agree, though I'd have to say that it might be better if they're taken off the Mission/Arena results tables at the HMW Front Page, as they really mess the up their appearance. Wouldn't mind if they stayed or went on the registry tables or mission/arena result pages.

I think she's got more important things to worry about right now - like her nursing school exams

I don't mind seeing them in the mission logs, but it's just annoying on the index page.

I don't belong to any official clan, so this doesn't not affect me. So I have no opinions on this, negative or positive.

*sniff*

Doesn't seem to be a tag for me...

We do, techincally. They were used to make our "award ribbons"

Since this is something you would rather do then I'll get everyone to vote on one and of course make it transparent background for you. These are 19px how high do you want them?

Personally I don't care either way, but with what other people are saying maybe it would be better on the team name then it won't show up on the front page, all over the registry of people with them etc.

Not much higher than the font of the name they are beside.

ALL SUBFACTIONS:
Get me some clan symbols together with your groups if you want to do this.

Let's go ahead and give the clans a chance to make their own emblems.

I held my ctrl button down and spun my mousewheel down, looks like I have a lot of room to play with...

Okay, now that the smartassery is out of the way.

11px will be tough but I'll see what I can whip up tonight and try to get everyone to pick one.

im sorry, its very sweet but they're hidious.

the clan tag is bigger and brighter than the actual name of the bot. they need to be smaller tags, less bright, or maybe even a symbol over a big AWC next to the name.

if you swtiched the size of the name of the bot and the awc tag it would probably look better.

News Credits: 1 · by **Motley** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 2:49 pm

I have AWC tags next to my bots names but I don't belong to AWC. Or any other for that matter.

by **Scantron** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 2:50 pm

I really like the idea, but I think it would look better to have the tag/symbol/whatever just by the team name, rather than on each individual character.

thats why a symbol might work better
