The Custom Member Label Club

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, in any case, it's been fixed.

I don't think anyone has mentioned this but "Luminary" has been added to Joesocwork's label.

We know. There are *checks list* six other former staff members with that in their label.

Nothing new.

Joesco isn't an admin anymore!?

[Interchange 0]

I never make these lists.

Please use the edit function to add to a post a few minutes later.  abcvs.

Sorry I didn't drift your catch, I mean, catch your drift.    I do enjoy Duke's ST facts, tho.

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, in case anyone's curious the others are:

Former admins: Hodges, SimJez, golfbunny

Former mods: Sharr, Larsz, jhipolito.

All are just "* Luminary *", except golfbunny, who's "*Fluffy Luminary*"

Joe is the first instance of having the "* Luminary *" be tacked onto the previous label as opposed to replacing it.

Hodges and SimJez were never labeled. Sharr was "Terminatrix"* prior to stepping down. Golfbunny had gone through several labels including "Not really an", "King of the Labels" and "Fluffbundle"*. Larsz and jhipolito both had the generic "Modd Squad" label.

*colors approximate.

On the topic of former labels, I can think of two members off the top of my head (there may be more, but there can't be too many) who used to have a custom label and now don't have one, period. The first is wishfulanthony, who used to have the chat op badge (though no text). The other is one that most of you probably don't remember: a member by the name of Yayo01 who, for a while had the label "Sack of Hammers" before it was removed (this was back when custom labels replaced generic ranks as opposed to supplementing them).

He was not refering to Duke's lists at all.   

He is saying that he never makes the lists for CML's, Trixies or MOTM...   that is why he put the same post in all three of those threads.

[Boggy1 45]

I've just realised that my CML is wrong! After all these years!

It should read: Siglennydd Trydar, being that the suffix -nog isn't valid, and doesn't exist in this language, not sure how the staff came up with that one

Also, this is just a bit of fun..but I wonder who can pronounce "Siglennydd Trydar" correctly? It's certainly not pronounced how it looks.

[JakeMD 107]

silenet dridyr?

[Boggy1 45]

swat-medic: I..that......no.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

"Siglennydd Trydar"

Hmm..

Cy glenn id  Trid arr

Ce glenny edd Trayd are

Sig chlen (with a bit of a hoicking sound) edd Truckeda

....  shall I quit now or carry on?

What does it mean anyway...   (hmm might see what Google has to say...)

Edit:  OK so far I have got something for trydar...  ok that figures...

trydar

chirp n.m. chatter n.m. to chirp v. trydar- to chatter v. trydar-

Still working on the sinnygleddyy thingy...

Ah ha!   Using a different translator...  siglennydd  comes up as:

bogs, swamps

So...  stay with me people...

The abcivvis defination of "Siglennydd Trydar" is...

The guy from the swamp that talks in chat.  

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

What's a "defination?" Did I miss something in this thread?

EDIT: Is it anything like a "Rhythm Nation?"  Is Janet Jackson going to come out and start singing and dancing?

"Swampy talker" or "Boggy chatter". Been figured out ages ago.

[beebs 129]

Please note the CML list has been taken out of the Omnibus, pending update for the 2008 Trixies. Should be back up by the end of the week!

[Duke87 1,070]

While you're at it, SimMars Awards are now all accounted for (updated document)

The only possible dangling end remaining is that the following people listed on the NAM list I was given:

Bighead99

Schleicher68

MIncroabl

Mrtnrln

Plunderer

do not exist, according to the search feature. Now, there are two possibilities here for each, given that the list was from SC4 Devotion. The first is that they simply do not have an account here (in which case, no awards for them). The second is that they do have an account here, but under a different name... in which case, they should in theory get the awards but obviously no confirmation either way can be had without knowing which of those people are registered here and what their names here are. So, anyone who has any information as to that... it's appreciated.

In addition, there's one more user:

Choco

who does exist, but has no posts. Now, there's no guarantee it's even the same person. But without any posts to find, there's no label to find either... so if it is, and he has been awarded... it shall remain unknown until if and when he posts something.

[un1 41]

Choco has a bridge making thread here at ST, so is most likely the same person.

Mrtnrln has an account here, I have him added to one of my private topics.

Edit:

Mrtnrln has gotten the NAM awards.

Huh. mrtnlrn wasn't turning up before, but he is now. Go figure.

And, as stated, "Choco" is postless. The person here with a bridge thread is "ch0c0" (maybe he used the 0s since the other name was already taken?)

And in any case, he has no medals and no label, so we can cross him off the list.

Okay, that's two down...now what about the four others?

A fine Apple Mac product indeed!

[Duke87 1,070]

That might just be the funniest CML on the site.

At least currently. I don't think anything's ever going to top golfbunny's "Not Really An".

[bwatterud 7]

A CML?  For me?  You shouldn't have. 

[danielcote 9]

This is new to me and confusing so how do I get on this list?

[Duke87 1,070]

Well, winning an award for something (Member of the Month, Trixies, trivia medals, Hall of Fame City Journals, BATing with 3dsmax) is one way. Becoming a staff member is another. So is being an employee of Maxis, Tilted Mill, or Monte Cristo. Beyond that... just be a productive and active member of the community and you never know, you may get bestowed with a label.

It is, however, imperative that you not ask for one, since that's the single best way to ensure that you don't get one.

Thank you Duke, that is a very good answer.

Good things generally happen when you least expect them.
