    yellow icon?

    you meen the avatar? (like my critter munching the X?)

    or you meen in game

    if in game, well you don't

    the yelow ones are for Playtesters and Vets.
    The blue star you can get by donating $20 to Flay (got to the main page for info)
    the blue TSA logo = Devs
    The green boxything = server op.

    You can't. Just accept it- no way you can become a Vet/PT. They've got enough as it is, or I'd probably be one.

    PTs, if i remember correctly, were selected because of their involvement in the community, good testing skills, and the fact they've all been around since the beginning, thought i may be wrong.

    The vets are basically the highest ranking clans from the US (And some elsewhere, i think) who were approached by the devs to participate.

    I doubt you are either the former or the latter, and i also don't think people like others who beg for that status.

    However, i think that it's possible in 2.1 (or maybe before, i don't know) for server operators to create custom icons for certain players on their servers, although i'm not entirely sure if i remember this right. If your friend runs a server, maybe they can give you your own little special one in the future.

    Esuna's pretty much right. Only thing is that I don't think that PT's have to be around since the begining. Most of them have though.

    Many PTs have been around since the beginning but some have been added since 1.0. As for becoming a pt, you must scarifice various levels of life (from fish to forum goers) to Flayra and lose various types of virginity as well.

    In short, it isn't a 'set variable_x 1' to get an icon. For the Constellation icon (blue star/quasar thing), you need to donate. The icon is a 'thank you', as well as recognition on a server as someone who actually put money forth to support the game.

    Veterans (yellow medal)... well, join a top clan, play very well, [strikethrough]be a good person[/strikethrough] <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> , and you may get in as a Vet. IIRC, don't participating clans get three Vet slots apiece? (aka: not clans purely formed to get into the Vet program)

    PTs (gold skulk) are generally known, long-standing members of the community who are picked by the devs. They're fewer and further between.


    So them's your options. I'd suggest just donating to Constellation, as the cash goes toward paying Flayra's rent, food, and other bills while he's working full-time on Natural Selection development.
    In the future it *may* be possible for server ops to give their regulars icons.
  • BogglesteinskyBogglesteinsky Join Date: 2002-12-24 Member: 11488Members
    do you have to donate regularly to keep your icon, or is it a once off, and, if so, what will flayra do when everybody has donated and wont donate again?

    starve?
  • TalesinTalesin Our own little well of hate Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7710NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators
    Only have to donate once to get it. So far they haven't disappeared... dunno if they will in the future or not. I'd assume not, though.

    Nope, I'm not wasting money because I'm a player. I probably play more NS than some of the Constallation members. Besides, why I would I donate at NS' current situation when I'm pro-Marine?
  • TalesinTalesin Our own little well of hate Join Date: 2002-11-08 Member: 7710NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators
    Because it would prove that you're levelheaded enough to donate to a game you enjoy, instead of... less so, in assuming that since the game isn't incredibly easy for Marines to outright dominate in 2.01, that you're not going to contribute to the continuing development.

    Hmm.... winning the round's what I really enjoy. And Marine's winning in 2.01's almost impossible. Out of 20 rounds... they MIGHT win one. And the best part is that it's SO obvious, and people deny it.
