Here goes. I've found a smattering of icons on some old Ranks pages and of course the Halloween icons were mixed in with regular icons and some rank names which were clearly Halloween ones, but from a different year. At the moment, I am just trying to group them by theme and will gather the rank names and years (where saved) at a later date.

This one might be hard to get complete sets of, unless people saved them, since they were only around for about a month. But, let's do our best and try to see what weird things we can recall.
I have them sorted by kingdoms and the rank order should be correct (thank you image code names) and rulers and themed SCRS should be in the top line. I'll eventually get them put into nice tables (so you can also see rank numbers and names), but for now just wanted to start a place where the various icons can be tossed.

Jumping in here really fast before more posts to make a placeholder post for Region Halloween Icons.
There was quite a bit of luck finding region era icons using this link. I'm going to try and find announcement threads about icons if possible as that will help with determining the rank names.

Doctor Who - 2011
2012 - Hunger Games
Disney - 2013
Western Mountains
The All Dead Rock 'n Roll Band - 2010
Big Bang Theory - 2012

Wilderland
Lion King - 2010
Internet Memes - 2011
Dwim - 2011?
2012
Shadowed Lands
Shakespeare - 2010
Cars - 2012

At the bottom of this page are some icon titles, though not the actual icons for some Mordor SCRs.
In the middle of this page, you will find some Halloween ATRs titles - most without icons, but Faith, Gromit and Mad Cow are there.

I applaud you for taking on the monumental task of trying to organize these, especially if you eventually are faced with multiple years' worth for each kingdom/region.
I was only able to find my Watson icon from Halloween 2012 - @Burnt Toast may have his Holmes one somewhere?

Thanks guys.
I just pulled all the Halloween ones I could find from the original icon project thread.
We'll see how much of this I can handle before it either explodes in my face or quickly grinds to a halt. I think in this case, we are severely limited to what people decided to try and save.

Thank you for that link @Lailorn! I hadn't thought to go searching for icons that way.
I found a few Vampire ones from Rohan. And all the rank titles are at least saved.
Between the standard "Ranks" page and the individual kingdom pages, it looks like a decent amount of rank names can be found and a few icons here and there. Currently trying to get rank names listed and matched with their icon where possible.

Ooh! Thank you. I look forward to seeing them.
I think I have found the majority of the Halloween icons that got saved. And there were a decent amount. Every kingdom has a few that survived. I'm hoping to get them organised and matched with rank names where they can be found over the next week or so.

I have a heap of Disney ones - I think they were admin icons for one hallowe’en - I was Megara. Also i distinctly remember I was Grace Kelly for the “classic movies” instead of Lord of the Nazgûl, and we did Discworld in Mordor one year too. Might be a bit of work to dig them all out of my photobucket on mobile though - haha!

Thank you so much @merSILess! That looks like Kazad-Dûm's grey border. And the Disney icons are so cute!
I'll get those added into the OP later. I just finished putting a bunch of icons in and my brain needs a break.

Getting fuller in here!
You have a lot of ??? in your OP now which have the icon titles in the Nov 2005/06/07 links in my post above.
Also, I think the earliest Halloween icons for Rulers didn't match their Kingdom, but were personalised, hence the rose for Rosebud, and Catwoman for [someone else].

Happy to help, Dim! And I never thought to go about it your way, so its great we're all pooling our strategies!
Ok, I think I got all of Sil's icons added into the OP. Any information regarding the rank order for the Merlin set is greatly appreciated, even if it's just pointing out which ones were probably the Ruler icons.
My next step is to hopefully get the icons into a table or some other format where they can be matched with the rank title when saved, but that is for another day. I can only spend so much of my day staring at bbcodes of images before I start to go crazy.
Lailorn: Doing stuff like this would be impossible without picking people's brains. And hoping that random individuals saved icons.

@Lirimaer Whoops. Forgot to move those ones. Trying to have that many pictures makes for a very strange looking OP when I have it in the edit phase, as I’m sure you know. I know they’re both Troy. And thanks for the clarification about the Catwoman? one.

Agreed. I saw Troy during my Freshman year with some classmates the night before we had a class session on the Iliad. Needless to say, we spent the majority of the movie discussing how bad it was.
And no, I have not seen that Batman movie.

@Queen Nerwen do you have any recollection for ranks or year in regards to the King Arthur icons? Even a general kingdoms or regions is helpful or “these ones are rulers” .
@Moriel Thank you for the Shakespeare Icons!
However, in my Wayback adventures, I found other Shakespeare icons as well from the same year that are coloured. Are these ones the Ruler/SCR ones? I've added them to the Regions post at the top.

@Dimcairien Luiniel I have no memory of where those ones in color came from, but can tell you they were definitely not part of the final rank set that I created and was used that year- what’s in my post is what implemented!
Edit: as we just discovered over Discord, I'm a liar/forgetful/confused/whatever! Here is the announcement of halloween icons for that year. As discussed I don't know exactly when/how the transformation happened and I sadly don't have the full color set. I think I have the other two SCRs though, will post them if I find them.

I just found a Halloween game from Wilderland that seems to have a variety of halloween icons (and regular icons) from across the years. I'm working on pulling them out as best as I can, but I honestly have no idea where they should go unless they obviously fit a theme.
If you have any thoughts about the icons listed in the table, please let me know.

There's a frustrating lack of further links in this thread, but it does contain an article written by Star Flower that summarizes all the ranks and icons of Fangorn for Halloween 2002-2006. Now before you get excited, none of the icons load. All rank names are preserved though.

Thanks for that info @Aodh Hammerhelm. I edited that into the post.
I think I've gotten most of Halloween 2002 and 2003 done and am starting to go cross-eyed from staring at bbcode of images. Will attempt to get the 2004 things Ears so kindly linked formatted and up tomorrow. And start pulling the kingdom icons into makeshift tables until we can get that coding enabled for the plaza.

And I think 2004 is done! Lots of icons missing, but rank names were saved. Tagging anybody who was listed as a ruler in 2004 and has registered for NuPlaza to see if they have any more info or icons.
@Dis @Brandybuck @Mojo @Eléowyn
Mighty try and get through what I can of 2005 today as well. Like usual, icons are a bit on the sparse side, but Rank Names tend to be preserved on the Wayback.

@Dimcairien Luiniel Unfortunately I have nothing to offer. My memories from that far back are, er, shaky. And the computer I was using at that time died a sudden and complete death. I would not have had any icons stored on it in any event.
Oh wow, the OP is lookin great! Applause for all the work organizing these. The Watson icon above which you have "???" for year was mine in 2012.
she/her | Esta tierra no es mía, soy de la nocheósfera.
Ok, I think I have added all the icons that I was able to find and download. Some years are clearly more fruitful than others. There are quite a few places where ranks names have been preserved, so the next step is to try and gather as many of those and put them into a table with the appropriate icons when possible. Or simply list the rank names if no icons were preserved (William Shatner and Narnia for example).
Others I can recall but don’t have icons for; Gondor had, I think, Naith and Laie as Barwen and Araken (Barbie doll Arwen and Aragorn); and @Peeg was Donkey

@Dimcairien Luiniel, I can confirm that my 2011 ruler rank was indeed Rebecca Black.
Wilderland's theme in 2012 was specifically The Dark Knight Rises. This was my ruler rank from that year:
@Dincairwen's was Anne Hathaway's Catwoman, but unfortunately I don't have the icon saved.

I got into my photobucket last night (had to pay because there is a 250 image limit now and the one that had the plaza icons has over 3000 images). I am working on saving them and uploading them to my server so they can be linked. They are in rank order based on their names (r1 r2 r3 etc for Rohan with r98 and r99 for leaders etc) I think I have all of 2007 maybe 2008? I have the Mario's world rivvy one 300, etc I also have our 2008 April fools Day one where we joked we got a sponsor and all our icons turned into McDonald's archs... Mcplaza. Will link em all up once I can

@Fuin Elda Thank you! I look forward to seeing them and making this thread a little more complete. If you haven't, if you could please take a look at the other icon history threads? All the thread titles and links are listed here. Any that you have which have not yet been posted would be greatly appreciated.
@Dimcairien Luiniel Yeah I have noted them I have a few that I know they were used I don't remember by who I know when they were made roughly (like the one is during Rilomes time I also have Hoths Mandos possibly a morgoth one Faldras Tulkas, my Nienna, and the Feanor Icon for the Librarian and Lindos and other Cottage ones right before me? (Leaf? I can't remember) and I have the Emeritus icon that was given to Beebs, Halfir and uhhhh I don't remember the third I think it was only three we are reaching 12 years back now for me basically I use to have way more but sadly 12 years and several horrific bouts of illness that had me on meds that honestly cost me a good number of my memories... I don't remember where or if the harddrives that once had all the icons on them even still exist
I use to have the WHOLE plaza backed up on my computer just in case in 2008 which included all the Icons we are wearing now...but I think that hard drive is long gone now as I'm on my second computer since then so I doubt I have the full set anymore. Honestly am working on removing all of the images from Photobucket because I don't want to pay $5 US every month to access my own art.
