Well, it won't affect it at all - the computer can't and won't read the text in an image - that is something a human has to do. When there is any controversy over a raid number, I or a council will pull up a special page, put in the member's name, and it will provide a list of times, dates, and pictures. It will be up to the council to verify that the member's name is in each image.

Yes, however, aside from the security forums, I don't know what benefit you get from having a higher rank. The forum in question would be special chat - perhaps stuff that only our most active and best members get to access(Pr0n collection perhaps?
)

Sadly, not in the way that I mean when I say raid. If you see raid in any of my posts, just replace it with event.

That is why you have to post in the H&G forum and have a Tertiary actually set the value - It would provide a bit of help there. I also could simply add a little check that, if member X attends a raid while on vacation, it either kicks the member out of vacation mode, or alerts a council.

It builds character. And, the system I am planning would be completely different(guide wise) from anything you could have written before, so no real loss.

I had figured that every Tertiary knows how to paste the important bits of the attendance pics together in MS Paint. Having multiple files would be reasonably easy, however trying to see if someone is adding all files is hard. I could also set it so you upload a ZIP file of various files, but then I can't have the computer check to make sure that the file uploaded is valid.


Also, on the human side, I was thinking that having an event would go something like this:
First, create the topic on the event several days before the event.
Next, the day of the event, create the recap topic.
Third, attend the event. Take attendance.
Fourth, wait 48 hours after the event to make sure that all attendance pics have been added.
Fifth, lock the topic, take the portion of each image with the usernames in it and paste it into a single image using MS Paint. Save this image as PNG.
Sixth, go to the attendance update page, put in all information, including the newly created image. (Perhaps add the URL of the recap topic also?)


Special forum wise, that's a good idea, however I was thinking it being more general than that - sort of like a special "General Matters" forum. Of course, that would include update news.

The loss is the amount of time I spent writing that guide and writing those posts...
Wait i'm not gonna have to re-do the whole guide, updating attendance is the same, with the addition of an extra step.
 
--------------------

That sounds as if it will take large amounts of time, considering we have an average of 18 events a week..

Well, it actually isn't that hard, if you know how to do it:
Open two MS paint windows. The first, you don't open anything in, and simply stretch the image to like four inches tall by one screen wide. Now, open all the various images in firefox tabs. For each image, right click on the image > copy image(NOT 'copy image location'), paste into the SECOND ms paint window. Now, using the rectangle-select, select the portion of the image you want to keep, press ctrl+C, go to the FIRST ms paint window, press ctrl+V and move it so the left & top of the pasted sections are close to, or touching(or even just a little past) the left & top sides. Go to the next firefox image and repeat, this time pasting the section you want to keep to the right of the first image. The images don't have to match up perfectly or anything, so it should take only like 15 minutes for a handful of images.
Now, when you are done, grab the lower right hand corner of the image and resize, removing any extra whitespace on the left and sides. Now, file menu > save as, type in a name, save as type > PNG.

Its actually easier than it is to explain, after you do it once or twice. Try doing it now for a couple current events.

Thank you Garrett and Dallar.

is the day you have stopped leading them.

or concluded that you do not care.
Either case is a failure of leadership.” ~~Colin Powell ~~

Well, honestly, I would stay away from flash games and such - I have seen numerous forums with these ads an addon, and they rarely work. A couple topics however, one with links, and one with screenshots of people's high scores - That is perfectly possible.
