Proposal: Playoff Avatars?

[3CanesInTheBox]

We too hip to do these still? Too despondent? Or just spondent enough? :: peers into the abyss ::



Anyway, if we do decide to do them, my two thoughts would be "We like our group"...





or something connected to the "Oh, no, we suck again" meme.

Feel free to reflect, rant, rabble etc.

ETA: I WILL HAPPILY PASS ON THE AVATAR MANTLE TO SOMEONE ELSE this year if we go forward lol.

I'd rather not feed into the general board negativity with any theme we do.

 

[Borsig]

How about one of a goal with a big no sign over it. That sums us up pretty well

Its going to happen anyways. A certain few will fuel the fire when we are eliminated despite our injury problems and drop in goalie performance.

Might as well live it up and join the negativity even sarcastically.

I personally will use a 10 million in space with three flashes of ghost, JP and we like our group.

 

[MinJaBen]

I'll take a picture of the team orthopedist please.

Fair enough if everyone is on board with that. I'd just sit it out.

Hang a lantern on the board negativity then.

Aim for the crest.

I favor BANNER OF VENGEANCE RAMPANT ON A FIELD GULES.

Question for our members who take seriously superstitions around things like who starts the GD thread, or mentioning a possible shut out in the closing minutes of a game: ever consider that putting forth significant negative vibes towards the team might have a negative impact on said team?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

How about Trooper-themed avatars?

Here for a good time, not a long time.

Cause, you know, we suck.

 

[Lempo]

I favor BANNER OF VENGEANCE RAMPANT ON A FIELD GULES.

Please don't feed my pedantry...

Gules, a banner of VENGEANCE rampant sable.

... this actually would pretty much be the storm warning flag.

No.

So we choose to go to the playoffs and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard

I am delighted for someone more skilled in heraldry to take up this effort

After seeing one of Svechnikov earlier this year on this board, I thought AI generated images of the players was good given how topical AI has been in recent months.

Plus the ones of Svech on this board actually weren't bad.

 

[MinJaBen]

Just make the avatar a blender theme: "Who's on the first line?", the pictures of three random forwards, then a funny Rod face gif.

Done.

FYI: I’m a fan of self-deprecating humor, which is why I suggested the first two ideas. I honestly don’t feel negatively about the team but it does marry well with those who do lol.

As always, I’m up for whatever.

I favor BANNER OF VENGEANCE RAMPANT ON A FIELD GULES.

So sorry, this went completely over my head.
Can someone explain this?

Oh, that's easy to explain, @Navin R Slavin is a nerd, first and foremost.


He's talking about heraldry, as in a coat of arms. To translate into normal speak, he "favors (wants) BANNER (a flag) OF VENGEANCE RAMPANT (rampant means rearing up, but I'm unsure exactly which animal he would prefer to be his avatar of vengeance) ON A FIELD GULES (with a red background)."

 

[Navin R Slavin]

I'm unsure exactly which animal he would prefer to be his avatar of vengeance

MV wearing a horse's head would do nicely

I'm gonna bump this topic from the 2nd page of HF26. Gotta figure out what we're gonna do soon.

Also, I'm gonna shamelessly quote my suggestion from this topic:

Even if we don't go with that idea, I'll be fine. Let's just figure something out.

Can an artsy person make a picture of the black knight bleeding everywhere that says I'm not dead yet.

Photoshop Svechs head on it pls

The I'm not dead yet theme could also have Raanta and Wizniewski.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

I liked the AI/ChatGPT idea.
