<div class="IPBDescription">epoch and i have them, what about you?</div> well, here i go. my color is PINK. its not in the pop-down menu and its used by me alone.
Epoch's is WHITE. also not in the pop-down menu and as far as i know not used by anyone else.
should the people who've been in the RPG forum scince it was made, voted on the rules, and run the games get unique colors that only we use? how about people who just sorta hang around alot? i think it would be useful for a number of reasons (showing status, identifying DM's, letting people know who to ask questions, etc.) what does the rest of you think? and if your someone who should have one (like xect or 343), what do you want yours to be? there are hundreds of colors; they're posted in the stickies at the top.

Think I'll go for <span style='color:Chartreuse'>Chartreuse</span>. And if I'm not an oldtimer, no one is <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Does anyone know if someone somewhere uses a color that looks like that one?
<span style='color:lightblue'>Light Blue</span>
<span style='color:blue'>Blue</span>
<span style='color:pink'>Pink</span>
<span style='color:red'>Red</span>
<span style='color:darkred'>Dark Red</span>
<span style='color:purple'>Purple</span>
<span style='color:orange'>Orange</span>
<span style='color:darkorange'>Dark Orange</span>
<span style='color:yellow'>Yellow</span>
<span style='color:gray'>Grey</span>
<span style='color:lightgreen'>Light Green</span>
<span style='color:Chartreuse'>Chartreuse</span>
<span style='color:green'>Green</span>
What other colours are there?

When it comes to the RPG forums, I daresay I'm more of an old-timer than you are, since I did, after all, start the first RPG.
But Zerobyte posted a link to a <a href='http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colornames.asp' target='_blank'>colour list</a>.

Damn! You are old...
And thats a helluva long list!
And even though I can't be considered an old-timer, I'm using yummy yummy <span style='color:chocolate'>chocolate</span> from now on!
If so, my colour's <span style='color:green'>green</span>, unless Daza wants it.
If so I'd go with <span style='color:darkkhaki'>Dark Khaki</span>
Duh.
*slaps self*
But thanks for pointing it out anyway.
to get an "official" color you either had to be in on forum creation or a DM or both. it gets confusing if everyone has a unique color you have to type in. besides, we dont want a clash that two people taking the same/near the same color. limiting colors to people with some staying power should prevent most problems.
your color can't be on the pop-down menu (in case we get any new people in the forum. we dont want to confuse them.)
any others? oh, yeah. i put the list in the FAQ but its kinda buried on page 3. i just think we should do forum-improvement every once in a while so it stays healthy <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.
me <span style='color:pink'>pink</span>
Epoch666 <span style='color:white'>white</span>
xect <span style='color:chartreuse'>chartreuse</span>
khaim <span style='color:teal'>teal</span>
bill door <span style='color:DarkKhaki'>Dark Khaki</span>
Mr. Headcrab <span style='color:azure'> azure</span>
343 <span style='color:violet'>violet</span>
so is this going to be the official list for now? if so then we should sticky it. i'll edit my first post to reflect the list.
For me i'll use <span style='color:purple'>Purple</span> and just testing <span style='color:violet'>violet</span>
<span style='color:Azure'>AZURE TEST</span>
Kind of the point with the color is that it makes it possible to subconsciously distinguish the characters by color, since it's impossible to do so by face. The name beside the post doesn't really work to make the players able to overview the personality of others' characters. Thus, if colors look the same, the thing falls apart.
well, the limitation i put was you had to be in on forum creation, and/or be a DM. i think i restricted my list to that but i'm not shure. so im going to ask the other DM's (343, xect, epoch, etc.) if you would like to help me put togeather a list of who gets a color, who gets color preference, or just give me a heads up if i give someone a color that doesnt deserve it.
