Special Rank Archive

[Elite Piranha]

Ok, I think I was using the wrong tool, here is another one:

[PluMGMK]

Yes, that looks perfect now!

[Elite Piranha]

Interesting… So basically, we'd use some CSS to make it display at the same size as everyone else's, but it'd look better on hiDPI displays? Hmm, Humch, whaddya think?

Yes, that should work. Using the srcset attribute is another option. I don't have much time at the moment, but I'll give it a try whenever I do!

I was wondering what happened to this.

[PluMGMK]

I don't think Humch ever got a chance to work on it

I've just given myself this rank, but I'd say I should try to improve the lighting and do another pass…

[Elite Piranha]

That a very cool special rank. Now that I think about it, if I pick a special rank before RD, would it be changed anyway during RD or would it stay the same?

[PluMGMK]

Thanks! I guess it'll grow on me

Well, your rank probably will be changed during RD indeed. But I guess if you had time left on your Special Rank we could put it back afterwards. Of course, it may not even arise since Record Day is still over a month away!

If I remember correctly I accumulated two SOTM wins in a row (which is the reason I can't submit signatures anymore), so the special rank would still remain after RD.

Oh yeah, it'd be at least after the next contest

Just asking, has the old versions of the ranklist been archived?

[PluMGMK]

Well the original rev is archived here thanks to a user who found it OK to quote a large post ( ). I honestly thought I had archived the 2012-21 rev when we replaced it, but it seems I didn't, there's no sign of it

[Greengoop]

Damn that guy just saved us all

[PluMGMK]

I just realized I forgot to give Steo the Green Globox rank today! Does one exist, or would it have to be created?

I thought it already e isted?

[PluMGMK]

I don't know, I can't seem to find it

EDIT: Ah, I see, he made it himself just today! viewtopic.php?p=1460565#p1460565

You know, looking back through this list, I think some of the "special ranks" are now just normal ranks on the ranklist, aren't they? It would be kind of confusing to have someone with a Globox rank yet have insufficient Tings.

[Greengoop]

It’d be pretty sad getting a toad or Incrediball rank now that they only cost a couple hundred tings

[PluMGMK]

Oh shoot, I've been meaning to scrub the archive for two years now! Well, hopefully I can get to it after work today!

[Greengoop]

I mean it probably doesn’t matter because nobody wants them

[PluMGMK]

OK, thanks to a little Perl script I wrote, the archive no longer contains any ranks from the official list, and all the URLs for ranks which have been uploaded to the server have been updated. I also removed a duplicate Cool Rayman, and added Green Globox! The next step is for me to upload all the rest of them to the server (in the appropriate folder) and check if there are any missing…

[Greengoop]

Why doesn’t steo just keep the GreenGlob rank on all the time so Jade can have the Globox rank?
