@Imperious:
The badge is black with white letters: Customizer
About 15 people will have it at start, and recommendations for new badges are a PM to myself and i will forward.
I think YG would have a much more “objective” point of view.
As this is also his idea, it would seem appropriate he choose/judge the candidates.
Thanks for the tremendous support Gargantua, but I am not as familiar with the customization thread as IL and therefore not as qualified for such a responsibility. It’s true that the badge was my idea, so I hope my endorsement of IL as the sole distributor has some weight. My only intrest is that the honor be deserving and I trust IL to do his duty. I will be busy looking for nominations when my customized table upgrades and War room design is finished.
How’s it going IL? I’m dying to see it.
The boss has to make it happen. He knows what to do but seems to have little time. I will keep bugging him.

Understood…… and in the meantime, I will stop bugging you (lol).
it’s no problem. If you post, i will reply. It shouldn’t take too long.
bcguitars will be added to the list. About half of his posts are files for redone player aids, etc
Most Holy too
I’d like to nominate allworkandnoclay for sure. IL I’ll PM you or whomever I need to. I almost think the badge should have a more military-like title however.
I know DJensen probably does not want to get to carried away with badges but the guys from HBG and FMG probably deserve a Quartermaster’s badge. Most Holy and the Dicetruction are definately going above and beyond for the game.
Anyway that’s just my two cents.
I PM him so many times and he won’t respond. I just wonder if he lost interest here. All he has to do is say either yes or no so we can move on, but to not even do anything is disappointing.
I guess the answer is yes.
What are the exact specs for the badge?
Nope, haven’t lost interest. I probably have less time than ever for side-projects. It was just a on the social media radar but if you follow me @djensen47 on Twitter, I announced that I left my full time job to found a new company. This new company is consuming nearly all of my time.
The other problem is that PMs are a really bad way to reach me, they get lost in the noise. Try using david dot jensen at axisandallies.org instead and use a really descriptive subject.

That sounds like the OK to me… make it so IL.
What are the exact specs for the badge?
Icon is required, can you please suggest something?

Thank you so much for taking this time to respond. Sorry if i sounded frustrated before. Also, is their a master list of icons?
No, I just pull icons from the PDF rulebooks.

Wow, this is a cool idea. I am quite honored to have made the cut.
A couple guys I have seen who could also be given the badge:
Dangermouse650 http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=31475.0
Maofator http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=30614.0
Koba http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28323.msg1006390#msg1006390
I know Koba has been very involved in the Global War 1939 game, but he has also done some very good painting too. The first two guys don’t have a ton of posts, but they have done good work from what I can tell.
That would be another point to consider… do we give this to anyone and everyone who tries their hand at painting, or does the painting have to be pretty good, or should they also be an established member (one who has spent some time) on the forums…?
Not to disregard others who mod sculpts, boards/cards or entire rooms, because they absolutely deserve inclusion in this, but painting is the most accessible and probably most common customization that people undertake.
I do not wish to exclude anyone who deserves the badge, I am not even sure I have done enough to deserve it myself, but if it is distributed on a whim, it might become so popular as to be meaningless. But if IL is the sole distributor then that places a limit on who and how, which is good enough for me. I trust IL’s judgement in this area.
I agree with LHoffmans last post 100%
1. I am also humbly honored as I feel that I havn’t done enough, however… my upcoming modifications to my custom table and game room will be mind blowing (video coming soon).
2. IL must have sole power and shouldn’t be influenced or bullied by lobbyists. He will be responsible for keeping the badge meaningful and I can’t think of anyone better to do so.
3. I like the fighter icon.
