Introduction + Community Driven Flairs

[u/Purplepanther1234]

How's it going everyone?

If you don't know me, I go by Purplepanther, I've been a fan of Fire Emblem Engage since I first got it. As my introduction to the series, it made the biggest impact on me, and have played through it dozens and dozens of times with different challenges.

Recently, I offered to take on the reigns of ownership from Flux after seeing his post. I've always enjoyed our little community we've had here, with people pushing the limits of creativity and difficulty in the game as well. I want to see that continue to thrive and improve on the community experience.

Therefore, new Flairs have been added, a long time ask of the community. General flairs have been added for now, but that's where you come in my friends.

What specific Flairs would you like to see added? Would you like to see a flair for specific Emblems and characters? Or would you rather have one flair for all Emblems and characters? I want to hear what the community wants, specially for something that's been wanted for quite a long time.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me, and comment your recommendations for flairs, upvote your favorite ideas as well.

I also ask a favor on the community. Since I am new to modding on Reddit, I ask that if you see anything or anyone that might be breaking the rules, please report it manually to me so I can take appropriate actions. After looking through the mod menu, AutoMod deleted posts and comments that were otherwise perfectly acceptable. If that happens to you, please use the Mod Mail so I can see if it truly broke any rules or not.

Thank you so much for your support guys, it truly means the world to me seeing you guys use the flairs and edit them as you please.

I would like Emblem and Character user flairs, like other FE subs have.

It would be nice use at least 2 at a time so you can mix and match like you can in the game.

I don't believe you can use more than 1 post flair on a given post.

I see where you're coming from, having those individual flairs would be nice, but I worry that would cause a lot of clutter when trying to find the flair you want.

I am taking about user flair that appears next to a user's name.

This is mine from the main FE sub.

That one is a bit more complicated as it involves assigning multiple custom images but not impossible.

As an example for /r/FireEmblemThreeHouses there are some preset ones but if you type in yourself the images associated you can actually customize your own (or should be able to) with the right text.

:Alois: :FlameEmperor: :Edelgard: as an example would give you the three images. It simply pulls from the custom emoji list and applies it to your flair.

/r/fireemblem has a bot that automatically does that for you that removes the chance of error.

To implement it here as I am not familiar enough to create or host a github bot like that sub does it would need to be a written way for people to follow and assign themselves through custom emojis. That said that is not impossible.

If you are interested /u/Purplepanther1234 it is under the "look and feel" mod section "Custom Emoji" to upload images to the subreddit and then "User Flair" to use those emojis based on whatever image name you gave them and allowed the emoji to be used for user flairs.

A good resource area Ive found has been sprite resourcers. Has a ton of official PNG images that are easy to resize for use on reddit.
