Rock M Nation Avatar Challenge. 2009!!!

Over at VEB Nomar31 came up with a sport blog game. It is called avatar challenge. He took 50 commenters' avatars, took out the names to the left, and challenged the VEB posters to name them. I thought this was an awesome idea, so I did it for RMN. He did 50 for VEB, I did 30 for RMN. Hopefully you guys like this and I'll make it a yearly thing. Note: If you aren't on the list, don't fret, it's not b/c I don't like you, I just needed to save some for next year is all. Again all the credit to Nomar31. Follow the jump for the list.

That’s all I got off the top of my head. And while I am honored to have my avatar make the cut…it keeps me from changing it for a couple of days.

Man, I looked for mine and didn't see it

I guess I’m so used to my old one that I didn’t recognized it.

Nice

D-Sing, of everyone, is the only person to correctly label me brik. Everyone else said Brik.
And while I understand this rant may cause most of you to flip my b upside down, I thought I should set the record straight.
And may I add, this is the kinda of outside the box thinking that I love from RMN. Can’t get this stuff from “Mike & Mike”.

Or is changing the avatar the smartest thing ever done ever?

because now people can’t go around and search for avatars and then make their guesses.

This

has made me realise how very little I look at the Avatars… If there were a text-based comment challenge, I feel like I might do a little better! :)

ditto

on another SBN site someone was worrying that if they changed their avatar people might not recognize who their comments were coming from, and I realized that I knew her name well, but wouldn’t be able to tell her avatar from a hole in the ground.

Perhaps I can help

But seriously, I really can’t remember peoples avatars either. Hence all my poor/non-guesses.

All right, no offense peoples...

Here’s who I can name- 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 11-16 (Uribe may have the easiest), 18, 19, 22-24, and 28. I should know 29. If I sat here for a few I might be able to think it up.

Love the TMNT. Is the Cartman one a photoshop or was that a create-a-Cartman deal?

Just saw 30 was D-Sting. Why did I not get that one? Eff me.

For some reason I thought you had another.

When I got the rules and saw there were comments, I didn’t want to cheat. Cheating only got me through 16yrs of school and several more in the job market. Figured I’d change it up.

I'm pretty sure I'd get less than 5

The avatars are so small I just don’t bother identifying with them. Cool to be listed though, thanks for putting this together.

by Transmogrified Tiger on Dec 4, 2009 10:26 AM CST reply actions  

The only way I could get any of these . . .

Would be to go through this comments thread first.

And sadly, the Dog of Thunder gets no pub.

by Michael Atchison on Dec 4, 2009 12:24 PM CST reply actions  

Apparently, I don't post enough

…because no one identified me. Or, it just looks like a gray blob at normal thread size.

My own score on this is abysmally low. Many stirred no recognition. Several were in the “I’ve seen that, but don’t know who it is” category. Only a few were correctly identified.

I'm not at all surprised that nobody has guessed mine...

I only got 3 or 4 right. I just look at the avatars briefly and never have tried to connect them in my mind to the person commenting. Now I probably will.
