A fun idea

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #1 07-04-2001, 04:06 AM

I think it would be cool that is, let's say a really good player leaves Graal (like someone almost everyone knows and likes) then he/she has the option to retire their head, just like in sports. I think that would be fun

waar · #2 07-04-2001, 04:09 AM

no, but i think people should be able to register heads so that only they can use it. they must also have used the head for atleast 200 hours before they can register it.

What do you mean by "retire their head"?

No, then all the heads would be registered and others wouldn't have a head.

i believe he means so that nobody else can use the head.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #6 07-04-2001, 04:11 AM

Retire as in no one else being able to use them again, it's a way we can show they are truly great players

And waar, what do you mean by registering heads?

vergil · #7 07-04-2001, 04:12 AM

like have the head image hanging in at the top of the rafters in a big room?
naaah..

Torankusu · #8 07-04-2001, 04:12 AM

[sarcasm] Oh, Yeah, what a great idea. [/sarcasm]

register a head so that only their account name could use it. but ssmutz showed how that idea is bad. i just don't like it when other people use the head i use. ;\

IceHawk · #10 07-04-2001, 04:15 AM

Incredibly stupid idea.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #11 07-04-2001, 04:15 AM

If your going to register heads you'll run out of them reaaaal fast....
But think of how many heads you will retire. Not many I'll tell you that. Were not going to let any ordinary Joe do that

and who would judge who is good enoughf or a head to be retired?

CJH · #13 07-04-2001, 04:18 AM

I think if someone made their own head, and it wasn't an extremly popular head, then it could be registerd, only ifm no one objected otherwise, but on the other hand, there usually is someone who complains, so Im not sure whats a good idea.

But there's been a lot of "good players" that have used Stefan's head and quit. And that head is still used a lot.

Yea, my head isn't very popular and I did make it myself. I've only seen one other person use it, a GP on NPulse. But why register it, if no one else uses it anyway?

How about a grave yard

A graveyard sounds good, with their head on it... not like on a stake

but just their head on the tombstone

Archeon · #20 07-04-2001, 06:43 AM

its not a very good idea...

Jinn told me he used to hunt people using his head..

Admins · #23 07-04-2001, 07:37 AM

A place on the grave yard would cost money
so only very honored or rich people could
get a place there

Stefan, that makes the idea even worse.

Well honored is fine, but rich..

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #25 07-04-2001, 09:27 AM

If the people cared about that players they could pay for the graveyard, then we know they are truly honored

Brad0629 · #26 07-04-2001, 09:29 AM

keep it rich im usually rich but admins....erg waitt hats another story...yes rich is good

Archeon · #27 07-04-2001, 09:47 AM

atleast make it a reachable amount..like 100 or something.

the only thing is how can someone register a head when someone else made it?

see..theres a problem...
and what about if 2 people use one account and both want to register a head, will it support that?

Lyndzey8000 · #28 07-04-2001, 10:09 AM

I first used the head2.gif when I first came to Graal, but I wanted to change it to Athena but there was no way back then. Then when 1.2 came out I was so happy that there were more than 21 heads. I have used head21.gif ever since.

Spyder5782 · #29 07-04-2001, 10:11 AM

How about when someone is about to quit, people can vote on if they should get a graveyard or not.

Brad0629 · #30 07-04-2001, 10:11 AM

I say its a bad idea...sry =/

FatherDante · #31 07-05-2001, 04:31 AM

It's a nice idea but too subjective. Who's to decide what's a good player or not?

AlkarenHyralt · #32 07-05-2001, 05:06 AM

I have never seen anyone else use the head that I use (head78.png), yet someone else could come along and want to use it, yet since its been registered or retired or whatever it is they can't. Plus some people would go and register heads just to piss others off. So no, it is a bad idea. Though I like Stefan's graveyard idea, except about being rich part... I can't get anyone to give me money so I can go and make money lol.

when Jinn can pull up an old file showing that he had the 8th most Pks

when Jinn wins a gold sword in a contest

ETC ETC

any of your ideas suck if they involve the future..because most oldbies dont fight anymore..

It would be extremely difficult to update the graveyard and difficult to keep track of who RP died. I'm sure Stefan doesn't need another headache like that but it would be cool
