Debate Hall Postbit

[Miggz]

Here's yin-yang if we want to add that:

That looks great! I love it!

 

[KrazyGlue]

You realize I was the person who originally pitched the idea of the scale, right? I've pitched ideas, I've even made some sprites myself that I can post here at request, but none are as good as the gavel or Phoenix Wright.
Also, I edited my post because it DID come off more harshly than I wanted it to, hence the reason why I edited it so.

Sorry, I didn't mean you didn't contribute anything, I meant that you have complained as well and I have contributed as well, so just don't say all I do is complain.

There, that is the scale I made. Yes, it's bad, but I gave it a shot.

We can add this as an option as well. I'm itching for a poll, though.

I'm so freakin' impatient... sorry everyone.

 

[Zero Beat]

So before this thread is closed, let me see if we can at least agree on the poll so we can get somewhere.

Yes?

Okay, now I understand. Sorry for the mix-up.

We don't want to come to a hasty decision before considering all the possibilities!

EDIT: @ Zero Beat, Yes.

 

[Nysyarc]

I do think it's kind of a stretch

How though? A few people have mentioned that the yin-yang is a 'stretch' or that it's pushing things a bit, but how exactly? I'm just curious, because I can see nothing about the yin-yang that goes against debating, intelligence, civility, or anything that can be used to represent us. It may not stand for those things now, but like I said, it is a relatively neutral symbol, and we can forge a new meaning for it.

Edit: Yes Zero Beat, although I still think further analysis of each symbol would be helpful, as well as a bit more time and more opinions from other members. It's been just over a day since the idea was proposed.

Yes, looks good.

Well, I just mean it's not closely related to debating, really. I'd explain myself, but I'm getting tired of typing.

Just forget I ever said that. I have to admit, yin-yang looks cool.

And yes, the poll options look good. We might want to give everyone a chance to see, though, so they can have their final input. Like if RDK was offline and he saw his scale was changed it would be confusing.

 

[Lord Viper]

☆ I will agree with those images, anymore images will just delay the thought of voting for a postbit image too long. ☆

 

[Nysyarc]

Just forget I ever said that.

Lol, will do. A debater who's tired of typing, how can it be?

 

[Miggz]

Ok, so it looks like the poll images are final. Any OBJECTIONS?!

I think you all already know my vote.

Image #1. =D

 

[KrazyGlue]

Meh, it's been a long day and there's been Father's Day celebrations. And I got to babysit my 2 year old cousin.

EDIT: I'm honestly still torn on what to vote for.

 

[Reaver197]

Ha ha, Phoenix Wright? Too good.

 

[Nysyarc]

Hmm... I think the black side of the yin-yang should be more of a darkish gray. That would make it a little more visible against the forum background. The other symbols all look good, I like the options.

Good point, agreed.

 

[KrazyGlue]

I could try and work on that, although there's a thin white border around it so it should be visible anyway.

 

[Firus]

The Yin-Yang basically originated as a symbol of Taoism, and it represents Light vs. Dark, Hot vs. Cold, Masculine vs. Feminine, etc. It represents opposites, but not necessarily opposing arguments...I see a fine line between the two.

But, the symbols you posted, Zero, are fine with me. I'm ready to proceed with the poll.

 

[KrazyGlue]

Well, here's the white/gray yin-yang:

EDIT: I'm changing my name back to debater because I love you all so much.

Spoiler

And I got tired of having both a blue name and a blue avatar.

 

[Pr0phetic]

Confirmation on the poll for me, everything looks good

 

[Miggz]

Well it does look more noticeable.

I'd still go with the original, but I'm not very picky.

Looks good, KrazyGlue. But do you like your work?

 

[KrazyGlue]

I will not comment at the moment.

Just kidding, they look pretty good but I'm still undecided right now. I still like the original a bit better between the two yin-yangs.

 

[Nysyarc]

Yah I thought making it gray would be better, but unless it's a really dark gray, it doesn't look very good. Even then, I think black would look better, and you're right KrazyGlue, it does have that white border so it'll be visible anyways.

The original is better.

 

[RDK]

I like the idea of Yin and Yang because of the opposing forces thing, but then when I think about it the scales represent that in a much better way (at least IMO). Feel free to call me a loser.

And I'm glad someone took the initiative to make another set of scales, but honestly the new one looks like a gallows. Just give me some time to touch mine up before we start the poll.

Edit: I made some changes to the scales and I think this one looks a lot better. What do you guys think?

 

[Neisan]

Currently I'm deciding between the Yin-Yang, gavel, and scales, but just based on which could actually become more of a recognized symbol, such as Grimer, the Yin-Yang takes the win.

Agreed on that, if it's really that big of a deal, we could just give it a 1 px border in photoshop.

When will the poll be up?

 

[Firus]

I don't see where you draw that conclusion...I think ALL of them would become that way if they were chosen.

And, RDK, that scale is STILL too big...>_>

 

[M.K]

I like the darker Yin-Yang better than the lighter one. The lighter one is almost TOO light =/

 

[Neisan]

I don't see where you draw that conclusion...I think ALL of them would become that way if they were chosen.

Because honestly, the scales and gavel don't have that "cool factor" like Grimer.

 

[Firus]

I didn't realize we were going by "cool factor", I thought that was the whole argument against Phoenix?

 

[RDK]

I don't see where you draw that conclusion...I think ALL of them would become that way if they were chosen.

There's the final version. And if those Yin Yang symbols are going to be considered they need to be resized too; they're way too big.

 

[Neisan]

I didn't realize we were going by "cool factor", I thought that was the whole argument against Phoenix?

Except when it has a deeper meaning, and you know actual relation. Either way, it's all just opinion. You probably don't find it to have the "cool factor".

 

[Firus]

No they aren't...they're 19x19.

 

[RDK]

Yes, it's too big. My final in Photoshop was exactly 19x19. You can even compare it to the official Kirby postbit.

 

[Firus]

No, yours is 19x17, and Kirby is 17x17.

I checked. I copied it and started a new document in Photoshop and it is exactly 19x19.

 

[M.K]

Yes, it's too big. My final in Photoshop was exactly 19x19. You can even compare it to the official Kirby postbit.

There, I just proved it. It's not too big.

 

[KrazyGlue]

Yeah, plus I checked before I posted it. Anyway, let's decide on one scale and one gavel. I think if there's two scales and two gavels, it will split their votes and make it difficult for them to win. And once we settle these, we really ought to start the poll. But first:

Gavel candidates:

Scale candidates:

No poll necessary for this; we should just be able to make a decision.


Also if you want to check image sizes, you could always just right click it and then click properties.
It doesn't seem to work with safari, but it's good with internet explorere and firefox.

Personally, I'd go with the second of both of those.

 

[Nysyarc]

Agreed. The second ones are better IMO.

 

[KrazyGlue]

I'm voting for the first gavel and the second scale.

I'll keep track:

Gavel A: 1
Gavel B: 7

Scale A: 1
Scale B: 9

 

[Bowser King]

Second one for both of them.

 

[Zero Beat]

I'm good for the second scale.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I vote for the second scale and the second gavel.
