Thank you, @Tarawen and @Winddancer !

I see Arwen for Gondor. Is there the Arwen ruler rank for Eriador, too? @Quill was asking me earlier yodsh if I had it saved.

I think those are all correct, there's some others I'm not sure on and will have to go back and look! Other minions (or whoever) feel free to double check me.
Also @Winddancer.

- Didn't Mandallah use the same Sauron icon as Mo?
- I used M8, and I'm fairly sure that Loke did as well (IIRC, I requested his same icon). I don't remember Lailenwen's icon, maybe it was the same, or maybe it was the "darker" version M7?
- I thought that Inzilbeth had M6 and M12
- Narguzir had M5
What, she killed them with mathematics. What else could it have been? - Jayne Cobb

hey, so randomly found this snooping around. I made this game way back that I never ended up created but I stole a bunch of the icons to make it, and going through this thread I found some were nameless and some were missing. This is what I can contribute:

Image this is Amdir of Lorien
Image Amroth of Lorien
Image Laifennas of Lorien
Image Mithrellas of Lorien
Image Ancalagon of Mordor
Image Glaurung of Mordor
Image Gothmog of Mordor
Image Mumak of Mordor
Image Mumak Commander of Mordor
Image this I'm 90% sure was Amalric's Celeborn icon
Image Witch-king ruler icon for Mordor
Image and Sauron ruler icon for Mordor

happy chance that I once upon a time wanted to make a game but I figured it wasn't going to get enough participation and it would have taken too much attention to run. I'm thinking Amalric changed his icon at some point to or from that one I posted there.

I ran across 2 icons in the archives today I am not sure I've seen here:
Image
Grima Wormtongue - Rohan SCR (edit whoops - this may have been shared with Isengard)

Image
Maglor - ?? I am not sure what "rank" this one was for.

I'm pretty sure Maglor was worn by Ailaya Nydrian/Nabooru! She was a Maia in the PFF when I was.

OMW/Dimhold - I knew I'd seen it named something different somewhere but never found it again. Clearly we recycled a lot of icons.

Go stand in the corner! JK. They do look nice. I am thinking of we do give unique icons to staff, they should be related to what kingdom they are in- not be Valar. Just my two cents worth.

@Lirimaer F-3 was used as the Huorness of Fangorn SCR. That is why you couldn't find the icon for it.

I think it would be lovely to RP the Valar ... I would like to have a go making icons for Valar SCRs (she said, with no photoshop) (but mad skillz obvsly, see above!).

I suppose the new admin team will have their own thoughts about admin icons ... I guess we'll see what they wanna do.

OOOh - really? You mean F3 of the rulers?

That's interesting. I think I can do a little jiggery-pokery and fix/re-make that ATR.

Thanks!

Yep. It was used as an SCR when the rulers were not using it. It was the last of the Fimbrethil icons made before the Plaza restructure too. I think I was the only person that was given it as an SCR.

I really appreciate (and by that I mean-- it's obnoxious, but also hilarious) the fact that the Plaza maintained the Halloween icons over the regular ones in so many cases- I keep seeing them across threads sporadically in the way back machine. Does anyone know why that occurs? What causes the Wayback Machine to take snapshots sometimes, but in others just lead to a broken link?

Some of the SCRs were never changed back to the regular ones - I think the R/A team just got bored of switching them in and out/ or giving them out, I think, in the end.

I can't give you an answer on the other icons.

These might’ve been found but I didn’t spot them here.

I’m not sure if this was a Mordor SCR or an ATR but found this Thuringwethil earlier:

I don't have the time at this exact moment to go through and try to pull out all the ruler/admin/maiar ranks (if any) that we still don't have in the various History Project threads, but here's the link to the the Wayback for the "ranks and privileges" pages.

http://web.archive.org/web/200205010000 ... /ranks.asp

There are quite a few ones in there (especially in the really old saves from 2002) that I don't think we have. Some icons might be better not coming back into the light of day, but then, they might be fun to see. I've certainly had a lot of laughs.

Would it be a good idea to create a thread to put all the old Kingdom icons in? I know a few kingdoms have them in their archive threads, but having a "library" of them might be good as well.

And here is the thread for the Regions "ranks and privileges" Wayback.
