Skins War

[Darkmoon]

Go hit the DMFA site to read about the Skins War. All proceeds to benefit the Amber.

*edit from Damaris*

It's important to note that even though Darkmoon and Bunny of CVRPG are currently representing the side of evil, all the skins will be DMFA themed.  The characters featured will just depend on which side wins.

We hope this is a good enough incentive- we wanted to give back to the people who help the sister out, and no one wants to see us try to draw. 

[Jairus]

Great idea, Darkmoon! *goes to cast his vote* Like I'd tell you guys who I voted for.

EDIT: Hey, I just realized that this is my first "war" on the forums. How do these usually go? Are friendships destroyed for all time, or do people come together in camaraderie for the betterment of all?

[Mao]

Off goes the vote...

Yes.

Thank you, that was my one question.

[Damaris]

really, it comes down to the fact that we only have Dan and Mab in sprite form, which is why other characters were used

[Netrogo]

Count on my vote, just as soon as I get my pay tonight >.>

[Aurawyn]

I will try my best to save something from my paycheck this Thursday to make a donation.


*Crosses her fingers for the Evil Side*

Come on.. we see the cute side all the time.. and heck I am willing to bet that even  the evil side will be cute to an extent.

(looks at the two choices...)

.....Can't it be both?

*recalls that, last war, Amber said we're allowed to place a donation with the request that it be applied to evening the score.  *
I don't recall if the donation only goes to  evening the immediate score of if it's held back to even the score at the end of the war...

[Jairus]

Just out of curiosity, does this mean we're allowed to donate multiple times if we have the funds?

To the best of my knowledge, yes.  I know I did back in the great Abel-Regina war.

[Zedd]

Ah skin war..Who will win My money is on evil! 

[Lena]

At the risk of sounding like a complete brainless noob, can someone please tell me what the skins are/what they're used for? I know it says they're for the site and forums, but...

[Darkmoon]

The site currently is purple. By applying a skin, it would make the purple skin look like something else. It could just be a color swap (like a lot of the skinds here at the forum), or it could be a new layout as well. Depends on how it's done.

[Lena]

*lightbulb* OOOooooh - somehow, my brain was making it more complicated than that and it just didn't register. Thanks!

[Darkmoon]

As an FYI, Amber is taking the machine in for servicing. She doesn't know exactly what's going on, but the donations have helped to take the pressure off.

But the race of Cute v Evil is still on!

Is Fa'lina(I'm hopeless on this topic) considered evil? Cause if she is, then to hell with goodness

[Darkmoon]

I dunno, actually. That would be one for Mabby to decide. I know that she has certain characters in mind for Team Evil.

[Naldru]

That reminds me of the old Mae West line:  "When I'm good, I'm very, very good.  When I'm bad, I'm better".

[Aurawyn]

Oh.. here is an idea.. if there is a tie at the end she could do one half evil, and the other half good kinda mixing in the middle...

Then she could put the "Middle road" people like Kira and Fa'lina in the middle..

That is a really smart sounding idea, I like it. 

[Darkmoon]

Okay... but it'd have to be a perfect tie. 1 buck in either direction won't do it.

[Damaris]

Please keep in mind, guys, this is NOT a wallpaper war.  This is a war for custom skins that will be implemented into a new version of the website, as well as on the forum.

I'm only posting this because I don't want people to be disappointed.

After a more careful look, I saw that the fight is between CUTE(not good) and EVIL. That makes it a bit tough to figure out, cause there are some pretty cute evil...um things (like Regina for instance)

Regina is actually part of the secret Team Pink that consists of her, Fa'Lina, and Deebs.

It's top secret though and I doubt anyone is gonna unlock that battle-mode anytime soon.

Amazing  how do you come up with that stuff. But no matter, as long as Fa'lina is there, I'm all for it.  Go Team Pink!

Why do I have a mental image of the three of them leaping into the air for a three-way high five while shouting "Go Team Pink!"?

Because you have the right kind of thinking

Technical question:
According to the post, at least as I interpreted it, the website(www.missmab.com) will have multiple skins. How will this be set up? Will you have a selector and the selected skin stored as a cookie on users computers, or will it be simply a URL arguement(E.G. http://www.missmab.com/index.php?skin=evil)?

Also, last I heard, there was no PHP or dynamic content involved, and Amber was simply editing the source code in notepad/a text editor.
Will the multiple skins either A, use a server-side dynamic set up, B, simply have multiple pages, and Amber is stuck with editing two or three pages for each update with the same data, or C, we have one page, like it is now, and all skin stuff is done client-side with Javascript?


Sadly, I have no money(not a cent available to me now), so I cannot donate anything, but I am perfectly willing to donate time - If there is anything I can do, just ask.


Thanks,
