Ok folks. I've been reading back through a bit more thoroughly, and I'm going to lay something down here for everyone. So I hope you're paying attention, and take it to heart.

This is a thread for everyone. There should be no 'set levels of acceptability' given the various interests, skill sets, talents, and indeed time-investments everyone has across the board here.

This is, as stated previously, for a GAME. It's supposed to be for fun, entertainment, hobby, interest, what have you. You're not making money off it. It isn't a business. You've no quotas to fill, no deadlines but your own to meet, and are only being critiqued by a group of your peers - voluntarily, on both sides of this equation.

If y'all can't at least try to get along, to offer CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, to ACCEPT said criticism graciously and take it for what it's worth (Oh look - just another opinion on the internet), and stop the attempts at making it into some sort of 'only certain people can participate because we say so' bs, then I'm going to shut it down, and ask that you take it off-site.

We're not going to cater to a bunch of falsely-sanctioned elitism, baiting and flaming, dogpiling, and overall unpleasantness. Not that this is what everyone is doing, or it'd been shut down ages ago.

There's a lot of interesting ideas, creativity, and efforts being put in here. Lets not ruin it with all the negativity and cliquishness. Thanks.

Disagree.

It's pretty self explanatory that the basic concept at it's heart is nothing more then simple cut, copy, and paste in whatever "paint" program you would like to use. And if someone really, REALLY struggles to grasp that concept, then they are more then welcome to ask for help in here.

yeah but, a tut in the op would:

b) remove the burden of explaining from everyone by saying "its in the op damn you"

Traditional British spelling. If you check official documents, they'll still spell it "serjeant".

Archaic English term currently only used by the Rifles Regiment of British Army. My nation uses b/c bamf, like the command 'Fix Swords' (also used only by Riflemen) to replace 'Fix Bayonets' because when Riflemen first got rifles they were shorter, to ensure that Square Formations were still uniform, they got longer and more-swordey bayonets.

Good work but you should really have another squad to raise your total from a mere 28 to 36. 36 heads are better than 28 when operating in a hostile environment.

35 troops = good job on art and organization.

Overall good work from both of youz. I really feel like all these lance corporals should have sergeant rank though.

Meh, not everyone is ready to instantly become a full on NCO. The CPL rank is a great "learner" position for those that might need a little extra time making the transition.

Thank you very much.
Not really, a L/Cpl or V/Cpl in my case, are incharge of 5 men, and a Corporal is incharge of a Section in many Commonwealth Nation Armies.

Yeah I'm thinking in terms of Private, Corporal, Sergeant instead of thinking outside the box.
