Yeah, "we used your money to meet and discuss how Apolyton could be improved. The fact that we chose a nice hotel on a tropical island is irrelevant".

The badge option will materialize, but we have not yet decided on specific labels. Other PLUS! and non-PLUS! related issues on-site are atop our agenda at present, but the subscriber label matter is on there.

Keep the suggestions coming.

I reckon that "member" is fine for the normal subscription level. Maybe the supersubscribers could choose their own titles: after checking with the mods of course, in a similar way to Ming's changing usernames.

Supercitizen is taken.

Markos, I would like you to comment on my suggestion that those who pay that much money should be allowed to have their custom badge text. I don't think the manual labour workload involved would be worse than Ming's name change log thread, so that would not be a reason to deny it. There are many strong wills involved, and several people say they would only pay if they get their will implemented. With my suggestion, you would maximise your income, as more customers would be satisfied. How about it?

i'm not sure how custom badges could be implemented as we are talking about graphics(like my "admin" icon), not an addition to the user title

What if we make our own graphics subject to your restrictions on size etc, and then submit them to a mod/admin to be added.

It was worth a try.

Anyway there is probably no reason why you shouldn't offer more than one possible badge though right?

How about using a term such as "patron" or "subscriber", but translated into Greek? That would acknowledge MarkG's contributions to the greater Civ gaming community.

The plan is to offer a default icon for subscribers whether they have signed onto the Standard or Extended period. Lifetime subscribers could have a 'lifer' version if they desired.

our current plan is to offer the following options for the badge
a: "supporter" icon (for all)
b: "inmate" for regular and "lifer" icon for lifetime
c: no icon

So can we choose either supporter or inmate/lifer, or would someone have both?
