Personal/Custom Avatars

I also thought about Rowey's avatar and I must say that it seems like a not very well thought out thing to do.
When you give an avatar to people, they are basically displayed when that person is online in the client and it is only viewable in the client.
When you give them to someone that retires, he won't show up anymore and the gift is basically useless.
The next problem is, how do you determine who gets an avatar because of his outstanding contributions to the community? It's pretty uncontroversial that Rowey qualifies, but where do you draw the line? What about people that contributed only a bit. Or people that contributed a lot, but you don't like them or their contributions?
It's just too vague and will inevitably lead to fights why one gets it but not the other.I can understand the desire to give people some sort of parting gift, but can't we find something better than an avatar? Maybe a kind of digital gift card, an image with "signatures" of some sort, of people that worked together with that person or regular people that just want to thank them? It would probably be fun to creatively create something like this together that is personalized and that the person can keep even if they leave the community for good. It has no monetary expenses either, so it avoids the question of who would pay for it.

I lost brain cells reading this

@blackyps You can have an ex member retire from contributing, but still keep playing the game tho.
But yeah, there is a ambiguity to my idea, which wasn't helped by Rowey unretiring himself a month or 2 after "retiring". We should define it better, for sure. Maybe the definition could be "avatar is granted to previous FAF Team leads", or in addition, have a "time" variable also required, say "for at least 1 (or more) years".
I don't dislike the idea of "some other way" either.

Its time to give a definite answer or a solution to this discussion. A lot of points and a few solutions were stated above, its been a while now since the lots itself, so whats the definite answer to this problem? As far as I understand it would be a board meeting anyways, regarding Pepsi's case you can just have a vote amongst board or community as a total, but then you need a strong position about what happens to the rest of the players who didnt recieve any compensation after the Lots.

Why are the moderators polluting this important FAF drama thread with their childish personal banter?
-
I wanted to make a funny joke, but I looked at how many people with power there were here, and decided to let it go.🦓🦿

I think it’s fair enough, Pepsi couldn’t get any money bec of sanctions so he got a few pixels on a game. I don’t see what the huge fuss is over. Im sure he would’ve preferred money also.
