Yeah. Whenever I see Butane i always expect to see the Marathon Icon he had, whenever i see God Phrophet I expect to see his. Hopefully you all expect to know who I am when you see my Icon..


Yes Spartakus..

What Marathon icon?

Oh, and for some reason when I see yours I think of Rip-Saw.... wonder why?

Two more, when I see Konoko I think of sgtSTFU or Obi.

Edit: I will never wake up a 3:30 am to drive 200 miles again!

Rainman mixes me up all the time.

While I never thought about it, I've become accustomed to the avatars of the other common members. Bob's and Ghandi's SPNKR cyborgs. EL's Soulblighter. Skillet's sword elite. Sir Brilliant's elite commando. Just about everyone has been using the same avatar for as long as I can remember. Some people changed, but I hardly remember. The only changes I can remember are Reiginko, Impurity, TGP, and Gods Prophet. Other than that, I can't think of any...

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

There are a few avatars that I associate with one or two members. But JAF and Banshee Barron mix me up a lot.

I should learn to look at names first, I guess. But I'm too lazy.

Well what I'm asking is if you look at a certain avatar, do you think of a member who usually has that avatar? For example, everytime I look at that avatar with Seargant Johnson comic style pointing, ICEMAN ASSASS1N always comes to my mind. How about you?


Yeah same here, ive actually become confused a few times and critisized a few people that didnt deserve it because of this.

We should do something about that.


What are you trying to say? Are you hinting somet!GRrgAaaRHhggHhh*is drug away*


I definitely recognize that avatar as Imps.

The Flood form as JAVAs, Konoko as Sgt STFU or Obbi, the marine as Johan, etc etc. I don't want people recognizing me just by my avatar, so I like to change mine . . . . a lot.

BobBQ and Ghandi. They don't post next to each other often, but when they do it's hella-confusing!

Try reading page one in the Flood.

When I see my emblem, I think I'm someone else.

I cycled through loads of old school avatars before I settled on the Soulblighter one that EL is using now. I had that for about a month before I got slapped with the moderator-glove.

I used to get me and Sard mixed up. So I changed back to this one which I used before I became a mod.

I mix Rainman and Mabian up all the time. The fact that they're the same person doesn't help.

A 'Halo 2 generation' Bnet member myself, so really I don't understand the old school avatars terribly well. Had this one a while ago before I used my XBL emblem, but my account expired so I went back to this one. Usually away with work quite a lot so I don't imagine many people know me by my name or avatar *cries*

As for other members, I keep getting confused between J@F and Banshee Barron. Accused J@F of killing kittens once when really it was Banshee Barron o_0

Yeesh.

The irony of course being that JAF does kill kittens.

dude, you pulled a jesus!

Many people I know by their avatars... who else do you know that has a cyan smily?

I like to think that people think of me when they see this avatar. I'm usually the only one who has it... though I see a few with it now and again.

If I see a white elite with the energy sword Sir_Brilliant pops in my head. And if i see a blue spartan with the sniper rifle Rainman89 comes to mind.I'm reading their fanfics thats why.

*kills a kitten.

OMG! Banshee killed a kitten! I swear it wasn't me!

Usually I don't mix people up, but that's because Usually look at the name first. However, I did find it very confusing when Butane suddenly switched to the Wraith avatar. That really had me thinking it was someone else at first.

I'm guilty of it, I always try to double check, but I have mistaken random people for Iceman Assassin a couple of times.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Banshee Barron = Prophet Head. Always has been, always will be.

Rip Saw was the flaming 7.

Maraxus has his moons.

Jeff McRae was the Halo 2 logo, and is now the Halo 3 one.

And there are others.

So to answer the question, yes.

LoL, why Thank-You!

Good to know I've successfully etched my avatar into the minds of millions!! Muhahahaha!!

I chose that avatar because he was the only black man, lol. Not to mention he kinda looks like me.......in a comical kind of way.........*compares*

Hooray Unique Avatars!

  • 07.26.2006 9:43 AM PDT

I recognize alot of people by there avatars. Even people who I haven't seen post in a while. I still think the cartoon sarge is Pink Menace. Banshee Barron's the prophet, Halifax is that grunt, Obbi is Konoko, etc. I've always been this but lots of people use it so its hard to associate one person with it.
