Recently Schik was being cool and stuff, and added a link under each person's post, to show you all the holds that person as published. Of course, if a person hasn't posted any holds in either the DROD or RPG forums, then no link will appear.

At the moment, as you can see below, it is a mallet. Which, ok, works, but I'm sure there are much more appropriate icons to display. Preferably one that is simple, and fairly obvious what clicking on it would lead to.

So what are you waiting for? This is a bit unusual for a contest in that Schik will be the sole judge (if he likes any of them at all), and I'm writing this up on heavy duty painkillers.

Please, attach your icon to your post, and then edit your post so that the image is displayed, as it makes it easier for everybody to view. If you're not sure how to do this, ask and I'm sure someone will be happy to help you.

Please post your icon within the next two weeks from now, so in negative 667 weeks

There's only one real choice, and that's mine:

That's the second time this week that I've had the displeasure of thinking about Someone Else's tile mod.

Good grief, what is this world coming too?

Hmm, nothing wrong with a classic, I think:

If we're going to have a sinister secret society logo it should be the DAA one.

Luckily Stefan already provided an icon for that option.

-

I actually like the mallet the best, since it implies the holds are "built" already - that is, published. All these t-square, compass and DAA icons seem to suggest "Architecture"... and we have a pre-existing board and term called "Architecture", which is for holds in progress.

I'm thinking something like castle bulwarks. But the mallet works for me too.

This is my feeble attempt. You can tell I have no skill or talent for this, but maybe this will inspire someone.



This was supposed to be a piece of the eighth (you know, like pieces of eight) but the image is too small for anyone to see what it is clearly.

Before I forget, let me drop these two thingies here. I can't decide which one I like better, so I'll post them both.

This:

Do we already have a winner (per the mod points) or is there going to be a poll?

I don't do points, but in my opinion, Jutt's castle thingy is the best.

Not sure if I specified, but Schik is the sole judge, for obvious reasons.
