Did Marrast, err..1.0, ever have a CML?

[mightygoose 92]

[Duke87 1,070]

Marrast's label was Modd Squad Transport.

Which reminds me...   I am starving.   Can you hurry it up a bit with the defrosting?

I mean could we stick it in the microwave or something?quote>

A good idea indeed.

So it'd be:

with microwave-cooked relish, mustard, and onions.

Or something like that.

Although of course allow food to defrost naturally in the refrigerator is supposed to be better...

I know this isn't exactly aCML

But I think it's pretty funny!

That's been around for over a year. It's one of those "random" ranks that shows up for a post or two and then disappears. "Some Random Label" is the other famous one (and the first one).

The following ranks have only been spotted once each, and thus may be random ranks or may just have been temporarily stuck in there as a joke:

Area

Denzel Crocker (this one was most likely the latter)

Prefect Hitchiker

Mogul Wannabe

And then there's "Label Error 404"... which may be an actual error or may just be another random rank.

EDIT: It appears Prefect Hitchhiker isn't random, it reliably shows up at 43 posts.

Several other people have smilies or custom icons in their label. Though, them being clickable and generating popups is new. This merits investigation...

EDIT: A lot of members who previously had smies or custom icons have been stripped of them. There used to be over a dozen, five remain.

Three are clickable:

- dirk's duck is "Ducky order of merit"

- zelgadis' bunny is "King of the Bunnies"

- my read this thingy is "He who keeps lists"

Two are not:

- DragonAnime's dragon

- frogface's frog

The others... Aronion's donkey, RalphaelNinja's ninja smiley, Ryboton's tongue smiley, Buggi's monkey, Samantha's love smiley, etc.... they're all gone.

The CJHOF icons also seem to be MIA for some reason.

[mightygoose 92]

as are the 3dsmax user icons... and courtesy of the other thread i now know that skigeek also still has her smiley...

[Duke87 1,070]

Looks like somebody's got themselves a new icon:

MrCinatit

Simtrop Devotee

EDIT: Text and medals keep vanishing for some reason. Oh well, you can see the icon.

[Kevin 101]

Hey, the titanic is clickable!

[Zelgadis 638]

Ah, "King of the Bunnies." Not quite anymore.

....I presume this is a reference to the movie Titanic?

EDIT: Hey, mine's evolving, too. "He who keeps lists and likes to make icons"

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Mwa ha ha!

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

This Trixie winner one is rather boring, but its still counts.

Just had to commend the creativity on some of these new ones.. I love Mrcinatits tiny Titanic (paradox much?)

[patfirefghtr 160]

intreging to say the least lol....  Gone from microwave to thawing lol

[Cockatoo 2,257]

^ When did it actually read microwave? You looked at Shadow Assassin's post, he was just suggesting that it be changed to microwave-cooked, hotdogs never actually had that CML. It's been thawing for a while, frozen before that.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

"Teach me to spit, Jack"quote>

Ha!  it has changed again.

LOL. This does make figuring out custom labels a bit harder... now we have to click them!

Hmm I think we need to agree on terminology...

Custom Member Label (CML) - the unique coloured writing that is added by well...  the CML fairy whose ways are dark and mysterious.  Generally these are static and do not change - with a couple of notable exceptions.

Custom Member Badge (CMB) - a badge that is usually given to staff but occasionaly to others such as developers.  This may or may not contain a CMP.

Custom Member Pop-Up (CMP) - the box that pops up when you click on an icon or badge in the avatar area.   This is added / messed with by the Custom Pop-up Fairy, which should not necessarily be confused with the CML fairy who may or may not actually be the same individual.  These CMP's have been known to change at random and appear to be a more fluid type of label.

I believe the actual line in the movie was...

"I want you to draw me wearing this (the necklace) and only this..."

He's just going to keep changing his own. Because he can.

Interesting, except.... the "badge" has always been considered part of the label. And only the staff identifiers are "badges". The trixies, MOTMs, trivia stars, etc. are "medals"... all (including ones that don't fall under either of those categories) are collectively called "icons". You could also call them "decorations", but there's a difference - each image is an icon, but each award or bestowment is a decoration. The number of decorations could equal the number of icons, but it is often greater. Having won five trixies nets you only one icon, but five decorations (each trixie is a decoration).

The Pop-ups have been called just that, although I've never heard them called "Custom Member Pop-Ups". And, being directly attatched to icons, they too are part of the label.

Ed. Note: why oh why do things screw up when I attempt to copy/paste a label into the post with the icons in it?

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

Duke you never heard the term CMB and CMP before because I just made up those terms for that post.    However all terms start by someone calling them something so maybe I was flattering myself that I might be the instigator of a neo-abbreviation term.

...and yes I have been having trouble copy and pasting people's avatars and badges and what nots into posts...  some ST 6.0 kink methinks.

Can't seem to quote emoticons either.
