Skins War

[VSMIT]

We have to make a viaduct!

"Vy" a duck?

Why not?

Who's this "Alec" that popped up in the list of donations?

In todays News Amber says that voting for characters won't affect the cute/evil war, and as such is more or less equivalent to "neutral".

I tend to disagree. Both "cute" and "evil" are pretty abstract concepts and when you sit down to actually make this wallpaper you will need a more concrete idea of what to draw.  That is when the characters come in.

The current leading character is Mathilda.  I am sure she can do both "cute" and "evil" with conviction.  This is true for several of the others too.

(For the record, I have no money to spare and have not voted for anything)

Ummm, Matilda and evil ...nope, can't see it happening! But I agree for cute.

You can think that, but you'd be wrong.

Yeah, I agree with Darkmoon. C'mon, guys. We don't want to stress Amber out. Not to mention this is a skin war.

Hmm, i guess this whole voting for separate characters has gone a bit out of proportion, it did start as a joke, right!? No one actually thinks these side votes will accomplish anything other than bring a few laughs.

I think there's a few things being over looked here:  

1)This war isn't being done by Amber.  It was being done by the code and graphics monkies who will be doing the themes.

2)It's for a theme/skin (as mentioned by Keaton and others), not a wallpaper.  While it is possible  to do a theme centered around a character, it's a lot easier to do a concept based one.  This also means that less drawing will be involved. (Though I know damn well that design work can involve almost as much work as any character sketch).  

3)It's never been mentioned once that I'm aware of that these skins would even have characters involved with them, so the character votes were for all intents and purposes donations for something that wasn't a choice... which is the same as no choice.  Aka:  Neutral.

Anyway, I'm sure everything that I've just said has been covered already and by those who are far more eloquent than myself but I thought that it might help things to have a summary present.

You've fed them, you fool! Now all we'll get from them is NetHack high scores and FPS deathmatch frags!

[Mao]

Possibly, but I like to think that if you don't feed them they won't work either.  That and I don't want dead monkies stinking up my computer room.

Alec? Lucas' Grandfather from Mother 3? O:

Man, a skin unrelated to a furry comic would be so great for a furry comic, roflkntrly.

[Azraelle]

That's right folks, voting for a third party is throwing your vote away.

God bless America, I guess.

Alec from CVRPG.

[Alterationartist]

More donations to add to the pile of money, the way I see it.

Especially if a single character DOES power over the thousand, but I don't think any millionaires read DMFA... yet. *snerk*

if that does happen in about 3 days, there will likely be a $900 excess for Amber and a few happy (if not gullible) customers. And at this rate, we are now literally paying you for this, considering the amount donated for DMFA characters.

[Lego3400]

Voted for DMFA charcters, and Alec

[Dagardo]

Who is Alec exactly? I know he's from CVRPG, but who is he?

It's not a wallpaper, it's a forum theme o 3o;

Reminds me of Dan when he had that patch on to make him human. I don't know why.

I seem to have failed my reading comprehension test.  Please disregard my previous remark.

Everybody wants a rock to wind a piece of string around.

. . .?

I don't get it.

So, what, the next skins war will be rock vs. string?

[Tapewolf]

I don't get it.

Congrats, you caught one of the references I placed in today's image.

Curse you for catching that hours before I came to the site and read it.

It's the only reference I got out of today's page, but at least I did get it.
