The Atlas idea is excellent, elitist and subtle.

I approve wholeheartedly of this design, even though I will likely go back to ignoring it now.

I like it, just make sure you are using the higher image quality version of the atlas-troll (I can't see well right now, just woke up) and use the forum background for the header background, like the way it was before, it looked a lot better that way. And maybe move the troll up a bit and the header down a bit so that his legs don't stick out so much.

And I still like the idea of randomizing which troll shows up on each page refresh. That would be sex.


Edit: ^ Oh shit, it already does do that.

Holy crap, awesome!!!

Edit2: Wait, what exactly triggers the troll image changes? It definitely isn't page refresh, is it on a timer or something?

The image seems to change depending on your roll. I'm not yet sure if it just changes when you roll or the image is itself dependent on the number rolled. Testing that now.

Regardless, I like it. Much more than the bird.

Edit: The image does indeed depend on the number rolled. Will post results when I finish testing if no one objects.

You roll 5 :: You rolled a FLIP-FLOP.
Damn.
The new header is shit. I like Drag White Queer. He is very intelligent and stays civil long after anybody else would have been provoked into personal insults.


Those dice... they already have too much power over me. Must...resist...

troll is excellent
buttons are excellent
text is good (could be smaller... but works as it is and does not compete with the gog logo)
rolling for different logo is excellent
and i'm even getting used to the die

[x] perfect

Maybe write "roll for a different troll!" under the image

and make the header background the same as the forum background. NOW!!!

This experiment became disappointing when I discovered that the image URLs were just numbered 1 to 20, the same as their corresponding roll. I still got them all legitimately, though. Honest.

You roll 1 :: You rolled, ITZ happened.

You roll 2 :: Cool roll, bro.

You roll 3 :: kingcomrade rolls better than that.

You roll 4 :: :DECLINE: of the roll.

You roll 5 :: You rolled a FLIP-FLOP.

You roll 6 :: Nice roll. ~Quinn.

You roll 7 :: Your roll was good for what it was.

You roll 8 :: Your roll sucked, why? Because this is the RPG Codex.

You roll 9 :: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TOTALLY AVOID ROLLING!!

You roll 10 :: You must roll the ring.

You roll 12 :: Rolling before Retardo.

You roll 13 :: That roll is seriously fuck up man.

Cool, now I can have the troll-chillaxing-in-the-pool header for the forums. Good that it does not retroll when refreshing the page.

DU, don't scrap the roll troll! It's brilliant. Whoever did it deserves an infinite amount of praise. The font also fits nicely. I say leave it as it is now and don't toy with it anymore.

I like it. You can now stop fiddling around with the logo like a 10 year old boy who has just discovered he has a dick.
