The Store

Post by MrKABC »

I am curious... are there more items on the way for the store?

I *really* want a na-Mhoram's crozier - I think it would look really cool there next to my avatar...

More Lords' staffs or Clave rukhs would be nice too...

Why not design an icon yourself, and submit it to Vain? Somewhere there's a thread/post where he asks people who're willing to do exactly that.

Don't know where, but why not give it a try?

Here's the thread:

kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5760

Vain did indeed say he'd be willing to work with people to come up with new shop stuff. Just PM him and ask about what's involved.

Would Vain make a special item for me?

I'd like "The Codpiece" featured in "As the World Burns: The Kevins Watch Soap". :lol:

*shrug* He might, but it wouldn't be very fair, would it, for you to get something that nobody else has a chance to buy or win. Then everybody else would start asking for stuff, and it isn't like he's got a ton of free time to cater to our whims (as much as I'd like a Busby icon and a Sam-Cat icon ;) ). I suppose you'll have to ask him what he thinks.

OK, I made my very own rukh, and sent it to Vain... What else do I need to do to get it into the store?

Beg and plead? Help me out here... <grinning>

Awwww... thanks dlbpharmd!

Now, how do I get it into the store??? I am offering it to the admin-gods so that they can SELL it to us...

The Clave had many rukhs, so I am thinking that maybe a good number of them should be for sale?

Nice job, MrKABC! Hopefully Vain will allow the rukh into the store.

He may be a little hesitant, as those things once gave him a nasty burn, if I recall correctly. ;)

Hey, maybe you could try your hand at making a master-rukh as well. That would be neat! I assume there would only be one of those suckers for sale. :)

Thank you thank you thank you for the compliments!!! I can make a master-rukh or a na-Mhoram's crozier as well, or just about anything else for that matter! (I'm good at Photoshop)

I also would like to buy my own rukh but it needs to be added to the store...

Vain? Hellooooooooo....

Nekrimah, Vain! Add the rukh to the store pleeeeeeeease! :P

PM him again and ask about the template for the store - but be patient ;) . Heh, I for one, give it an admin seal of approval... might even buy one of the things myself. PM Jay about it, too, in case he hasn't seen this thread.

Hey there.

Yeah, I think we're always willing to accept new items for the store. In the past it's typically been either me or Vain who've made the items, but it's cool if other people help out, heh. I used to have the password information for how to upload new items, but I lost the information that Vain sent me. So right now I'm of no help, heh. You'll have to PM Vain about it, or I'll have to get the information from him again.

Your item looks good, but if it's possible you may want to edit it so that it's in the same format as the other ones (Heh, sorry. I've been getting badly obsessive compusive as I'm getting older). Mainly, that the text is perpendicular to the image, or rotated 90 degrees. Also, if you really want to, you can ask Vain what the font used for the other images was. He told me in the past, but I've forgotten, heh. Again, I'm no help.-jay

Strikes me as perfectly fair.

They can always make enough fantastic posts that mods feel justified in doing a little rewarding, but they should be truly fantastic, 'cause we should probably be a little distrustful of anybody who wants one of the damn things. ;)
