I have always been confused about the avatars, like the SCV's, Tanks, DT's in the pictures in the name. I thought those little avatars beside your name grew higher as you made more posts but some people like ilikestarcraft have a lot of posts and still have an SCV, it's really confusing. COuld anyone clarify this?

I will tell you this much -- if your name starts with ShaLLoW or ends with [baY], mods may randomly edit your avatar.

I'm just curious on how the system works, because Shallow[baY] has over 4000 posts and a ling, when other people with less posts have ultras. It really confuses me

You do not talk about icons. Doing so will at best get your icon changed and at worst unleash the flying monkeys. In Stalinist Russia you don't talk about politics. On tl you don't talk about icons.

This is very true and if you know the truth, think you know the truth, or are getting close to the truth. A big red monster and/or flying monkeys come around and get you when your least suspecting it. I kid you NOT!

I'm not really sure about this, but I think it's sort of like this.

Probe/SCV/Drone
Default newbie icon.

Zealot/Marine/Zergling
250 post + 2 months since registration (I'm totally guessing the time)

Dragoon/Rank 3 (I don't know wtf terrans or zergs get on this)
500 posts + 4 months since registration (again, totally guessing the time)

and so on like that...sorta. However mods will probably change your icon if they just happen to feel like it (even more so if you have a unit in your ID like lazyscv or liquid.drone)

Saro's flying monkeys are rumored to appear every time the rank icons are mentioned...it seems they're a bit late.

Oh man I got temp-banned for asking this a long time ago haha...

But not only does the icon change when you have more posts, but it also depends how long you've stayed here in TL.

Probe -> Zealot -> Dragoon -> Corsair -> Reaver -> Dark Templar -> High Templar -> Scout -> Archon -> Arbiter -> Carrier

SCV -> Marine -> Firebat -> Vulture -> Goliath -> Siege Tank -> Ghost (could be wrong) -> Wraith -> Valkyrie -> Battlecruiser (?)

I don't even know or care about the Zerg units.

Haha. <3

Post count + length of stay. Pretty sure 250/500/1000 are all landmark numbers for changes, but can't tell any others for sure. Also, some people just have different avatars for different reasons. For example, Jumperer has a Carrier despite only having 121 posts for his play in the Racewar tourney TL held.
Think. :)

While I see a correlation between icons and number of posts, it would be nice if TL actually posted the requirements for advancing from one to another.

I know this post is over two months old and I should have a good reason it posting it.

Shouldn't asking a question that thousands of are wondering too be a good reason to ask?

After reading this thread I see many threats for flying monkeys. What I want to know is can anyone make that happen?

That's some luxury necromancy, right there.

Well, I kinda miss my cute Zealot.. got some "Dragoon" apparently now (nope, have not played BW, sowwyyyy) & it's in no way anywhere cute to the level of cuteness of Zealots. <.< >.>

It's determined by a combination of your post count and when you registered. If you registered long enough, I think you get a new icon at 150, 400, 800, 1600, 2400, 3200, 4000, 6000 or something like that. I remember becoming a zealot, a dragoon, a corsair, a reaver, a dt, a high templar, a scout and an archon in that order.

250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000

I'm not quite sure about the next three but I think it's 4000, 6000, 8000

And the last one is 10,000.

There's also some time requirements. To get the zealot, marine, or long you need 30 days. That's all I know in that department.
