From Compsci.ca Wiki

Latest revision as of 14:09, 11 June 2007

Avatar Themes consist of a set of avatars for various users, all following a common theme. The theme is decided upon in the IRC Channel.

Members

The avatar theme idea was started by Mazer and Cervantes, since then it has spread to the community as a hole with most active users joing in.

The avatar theme for the month is offten selected in the IRC Room by the active memebers of the community. Some time themes last longer then a month befor they are changed.

Mazer's avatars are often a Ninja'd version of something in the theme, while Cervantes' avatars are always Pirated (oh, oh, pun!).

Hacker Dan's avatars are verson of the Hacker Dan charitor found the in CompSci.ca Comic, well Tonys are noramly devils.

History

Pythong

Turns out alot of people type "Pythong" when they mean to type "Python" and somebody decided to take advantage of it.

What the Duck?

The biggest, avatar theme was DuckFest.

The Baldur's Gate Revolution

The next avatar theme, of Cervantes' creation, was the NPC's from Baldur's Gate. Cervantes took Minsc, Cornflake Edwin, and El Comandante Garrick.

Chuck Norris

In December 2005, Cervantes and Mazer made Chuck Norris avatars.

Penny Arcade Violence

In January 2006, Cervantes and Mazer made avatars involving violence in Penny Arcade.

Calvin and Hobbes

In February 2006, Hikaru79, Mazer, and Cervantes made avatars of Calvin and Hobbes. Hikaru79 had a Calvin and Hobbes avatar for a long time, and had promised to partake in some of the previous avatar themes, though he never did. So, Cervantes and Mazer brought this month's avatar theme to Hikaru79.

Actors

March 2006's avatar theme was actors or characters from movies.

Hello Kitty

To go along with the April Fools joke of 2006, some users (without their consent) changed their avatars to a Hello Kitty theme.

Bill Gates

Aside from the one day Hello Kitty event, April 2006's avatar theme was Bill Gates, since he is so loved by everyone in the CompSci.ca community. This was Mazer's and Cervantes' April Fool's joke extended for one month. As a further joke, they switched the ninja/pirate rule: Cervantes used a ninja avatar made by Mazer while Mazer used a pirate avatar made by Cervantes.

Ruby

For May 2006, Mazer mouse-drew an avatar for himself and another for Cervantes, both of which involved a ruby.

Void

For June 2006, Mazer and Cervantes took a break. That's not to say that they did not change their avatars. The removed the Ruby avatars and replaced them with nothing. No avatar.

Bunny Suicides
