Topic: Mascot Voting Interface/Previewer

Posted under General

This topic has been locked.

Thanks to user tony311, we have a nice vote summary tool he created, that shows the current leaders in the mascot contest, and quick links to the images:

http://tonyfox.ws/e621poll

As before, users can still vote for their favourites here:

http://www.esurveyspro.com/App/Polls/DirectPoll.aspx?id=4716

Vote however you like, but keep in mind that a good mascot should appeal to all users of the site, and all user preferences, and be distinct and interesting, and stand on its own merits.

Good luck everyone, as the contest continues!

I can't connect to it :/

Does it depend on someone setting up their personal server ?

edit : nevermind

Added totals! Also yes, it's hosted from my computer, so if it's not loading just try again later.

Great job tony :D

Also i think that the best fit for our e621 is keishinkae.

I think it says something about e621 that the two borderline pornographic gay ones are completely dominating the contest :/

Keep telling yourself that

Even if they didn't (and the top two are very blatant), that doesn't stop the userbase from imposing sexualities on them.

And imposing whatever sexuality they want on them. It's a mascot, not a person. It's just a story character with a funny title. Dude could look just like a chick and still be a dude after all. :)

If the userbase decides to make straight porn of a person's character. Then there will be straight porn of it. Hell anything we pick for this mascot contest will probably be skewed in ways I'm pretty sure I don't want to think of. Even if you tell them not to. Look what the furry fandom did to Krystal after all...

funny sidenote: even though the contest has ended and the voting is finished, the votebots are still spamming the vote list. Chizi has gotten another 500 spambot votes in the last day and a bit, Darkdoomer has gotten 200 more, and me and kei have each gotten about another 80 or so.

Also amusing to me is the fact there's some people crying on FA now that we 'ignored the community' and 'gave the community a big fuck you with our decision' etc. etc. despite the fact the final decision was to literally take the top 5 voted mascots as chosen by you, the community, which were exactly the same both before and after the spambots, just in a different order.

ahhaha lol :D

So chizu was a set up. And that means that most of us voted for Esix right?

Also lol, FA is strange...
