New FC2 Badge - Unconnected

[Axecutioner]

In FC1, this badge was added as an official badge a while after original release, and it provided a great new type of challenge and opened up so many new competition and design possibilities for us. And it'd be even better now with magnets, since rodless now doesn't specifically mean unconnected, like it (usually) did in FC1. This badge was really successful in FC1, and added a lot of fun to the game. The old badge image was a small water rod above a small wood rod, both parallel and not touching or connected at all.

I see no harm in adding a new badge to the game, and this one shouldn't be too awfully hard to code in. I know the Sparkworkz site and game coding staff are really busy as is with server improvements, LRR updates, etc, but this would be a great game improvement to add to the to-do list.

I've also recommended to Cap that he add the 11 current FC2 badges as 25x25 emotes so we can type :water: or :champ: instead of finding the tinypic url and using the [img] codes. If anyone would like to add to this or the Unconnected Badge idea, please speak up!

I'd also like to see the unconnected badge reintroduced as an official badge. It adds a whole new dimension to challenges and makes competition designs more diverse. And the point about the icons being included in the list of forum smilies is another good point that was highlighted a few times during early feedback but never implemented. Whilst the unconnected badge might be hard to introduce, the icons shouldn't take any more than an hour to do.

Really like the unconnected badge, but I'm not sure it will ever be put in. I doubt were getting any updates soon, I mean we barely get the LotW changed.

I think the icon idea would be nice, and it's already been suggested so hopefully it gets put in.

Good idea.
