Greetings everyone!

We’re really into 2026 now and small but important changes have come to Swagnilla Ice over the last few weeks. The biggest one of course is the change in theme and a bit of change of layout. Instead of using Twenty Fourteen and it’s magazine style layout, I have switched to Twenty Eleven, which is more of a blog theme that is customizable to feel more ‘royal’ and majestic. From the custom purple background to the dark colours and chess image in the header, it’s the perfect blog theme for someone who’s focused on a Medieval but Modern style in his gaming and video making.

To complement this royal aesthetic, I have also engineered a new badge system for our comment sections. Members who have joined the Knight or Duke tiers will now see their titles displayed in vibrant colors next to their names. These colors are inspired by our Discord hierarchy to keep things consistent across the entire Swagnilla Ice experience. Additionally, the first one hundred paid members will receive a special gold Founder badge as a permanent mark of their early support for my creative endeavours.

The Founder badge does not appear automatically, but I must give it out myself after you become a paid member. Peasants will not be given this badge or any other badge in the comments as they are reserved for our paid members and staff only (including myself). The badges for myself and the staff are not membership badges but are official marks of their employment with Swagnilla Ice after they are hired. This ensures that when you see a badge in the comments, you know exactly who is a dedicated supporter and who is helping me run the kingdom.

These badges are marks of honour and respect, they have been earned fairly through support or being hired as someone valuable to my team. I expect that everyone will follow the rules of what’s acceptable in the comments when posting.

I have put a lot of work into engineering this new home for Swagnilla Ice to ensure it is a high-quality, private space for us to grow. Whether you remain a Peasant or rise to the rank of Knight or Duke, I am glad to have you here as part of this journey.

Check the header for all the important links, keep an eye on your inbox for post notifications, and I will see you in the comments after you become a member. Let’s make 2026 the best year for Swagnilla Ice yet.
