<div class="IPBDescription">and how they have been earned?</div> Ok, I'm not talking about admin icons or CD icons but the others. I know there are 3 of them at least:
- Constellation
- Vet
- Playtester (obvious, but tell me anyway <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)
So, what _EXACTLY_ these icons stand for? I'd like to read an "official" answer or so to say... I'm sure many of you know the exact meaning of these. Also more questions may follow depending on your answers. Thank you for your time <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yellow Medal - Veteran
Gold Skulk - Playtester
Dark Blue Star - Constellation (Donator)
Baby Blue TSA Logo - Developer
Green Computer - Server Admin
Grey Computer - Beta Server OP
Red CD - Means your running Cheating Death
its on a sticky
How are each of those earned? What do they practically mean?
I found the sticky to lack information on meanings behind the icons.
Playtesters are, well, playtesters. These guys are chosen for knowing game balance, being intellegent, etc.
Guides (is there a guide icon?) came from the release of 1.0 to show knew players through the game, because people were opperating under the impression that this game was decently hard to just pickup. I think they used the tag [NSGuide]. They volentarily sign up on some other site.... I don't remember where, and I'm not even sure if they operate anymore.
Devs developed the game.
Constellation guys have donated money to Flay to support ns. It goes to many different places, like hosting, etc. Well used dough.
Beta server ops ran the servers for us during the 2.0 play tests. These guys did the job of resetting the servers and updating them when new versions went out, plus, they donated their server, which isn't a small thing.
CD icon. Means your running CD, the anti-cheating program. I've noticed that this one doesn't override the other icons i've seen around (Vet/Constellation)
Server Admin. This guy has rcon to the server that you're in.
I <i> think </i> that's it.
the only one us commoners can earn is to donate $20 to flayra and get the constallation icon
Playtesters are, well, playtesters. These guys are chosen for knowing game balance, being intellegent, etc.

Hey, I play all the time. I test my skills. [check]
I'm intelligent. Just not modest. [check]
Why aren't I a playtester? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

I could write it in n00b, but it spoils the style somewhat.
When I saw Grendal playing he had the regular playtester icon. . . the little yellow gorge. I think that was like a month ago though, maybe they changed it?
