Some of us proud Random player feels it kind of wierd having to choose a race as a favorite race in TL. Even if i might have a favorite race i still wants to be thought of as randomplayer in strategy discussions.

So, is there any Random Icon? I have seen some comments about it, but almost noone commented on this. Is there more of us Random players who miss their icon?

I guess you could introduce like ragnasaurs and whatnot. Might be interesting to look at

Yeah, with pandabearguy as the "highest level", and some random tiny critter first.

Well, how many levels there? There is six critters due to starcraft.wikia.com, so it might not fill up all the spaces, but like adding a "pandabearguy" or something maby works?

this might be kind of a dumb idea, but you could have a die as the icon, and the number of dots shown on the die could correspond to level.

Had no idea the singular form of "dice" was "die"...
But sure! might get odd when you reach like level 7 and 8, but then you just add an other die? Like it =)

Screw extra dice, just use a d10 or something.

I dunno. I can see why you want random added in, but I can't really see any way for it to be implemented and not seem really unintuitive/stupid.

Why don't random people simply randomly get a T, Z, or P icon of the equivalent rank each time their post is viewed? Just like how they randomly get a side when they play the game!

Well this is the thread to ask, if theres a solid idea for random as well as some nice looking icons we can talk about it in the staff forums. It's no where near the top of the priorities list though so I doubt the gfx team are going to make the icons for you.

What i would like is the possibility to show what race you prefere, therefore it shows in the discussion. If a Zergplayer says that mech is overpowered is that not that much of an authority, except like Artosis, but if a Terranplayer say so, then it's completely different. Therefore i think it's good to show what race you prefere, sort of so you can be judge from it. Your idea Zona is really good, but it doesn't solve this. Therefore i'm more about the dices or critters =)

but...if you want a system where it shows what race you prefer then whats wrong with the system right now?

you said you like the system how it is now, then you said "therefore i want a completely different system"

besides the fact that you should get a hold on phrasing your own opinions better, random isn't a race. critters and dice aren't iconic to SC in any way.

i agree, i wasn't clear enough. Because i think it's important that it shows what you play and therefore maybe knows and like more, it also should show if you play random. Random player, i think, can in some ways be less biassed.

I agree Random isn't a race, but you play Random as well as you play Zerg or Terran or Protoss. Random also got an icon in the game, the die, and then the dice isn't that bad of a choice for an icon even in TL. So yes, they are iconic to StarCraft.

Besides, if you quote me, could you quote what i accually said? I spent 5 minutes reading everything in the thread to see where your quote came from... =/
