Legend updates! - Suggestions closed

Journal Entry: Fri Jun 12, 2009, 9:24 PM

| You know ... | Free Avatars | Birthday list | Emote requests | Plz accounts |



Suggestions have closed early as $eStunt decided to put the revamps in place ahead of time. I apologise for this, but its out of my control

Update


There is a slight update in news on replacement emotes. Emotes that are revamps no longer have to be the exact same size as the emote they are to replace. However, for this to happen, the changes to the legend will only be applied to new comments. Any comments posted before the switch will still displace the old versions.

I feel this is a win-win situation. It allows more freedom when choosing revamps, but also ensures that comments posted in the past still display the same image as the writer intended to display.

When i return i will have a look through the suggestions which i had to keep out of revamps due to the size issue and make sure they go in :)

( Oh, and $eStunt is still awesome, but i couldn't fit that in the title anymore ;p )

Squee


Ok, i sincerely apologise for the mass of journals that i've been pumping out recently, and this is yet another emote based one, however its epic and i couldn't resist.

I was talking to $eStunt about emote related stuff (well i still am while writing this) and naturally we got talking about the dictionary. Unfortunately due to the staff being needed on other projects right now, the dictionary is on hold. It is coming, and its gonna be awesome when it arrives, but its gonna be a little while longer.

Out of the blue, i randomly asked if we would be able to alter the emoticon legend while waiting as something positive for the long wait, and to my suprise, he said yes! He is willing to spend some time altering the legend for us, and i seriously can't stop smiling.

So now its over to you! We are looking for 10 new emoticons to be added and 10 emoticons to be swapped on the current legend! I want you to post your suggestions on this journal, and then we will review them and see about swapping the 20 in.

There are some rules:

:bulletred: The emotes must be suitable for use in conversation.
:bulletorange: The emotes should not contain personal characters
:bulletyellow: The emotes need to be a suitable size. (approx 35x35 or under) If its slightly over and an amazing emote it may be considered, but please no llamas
:bulletgreen: No copyright infringements (e.g brand names :coke: :ikea: )
:bulletblue: They need to have transparent backgrounds
:bulletpurple: emotes that don't leave the canvas and loop properly get brownie points

There are also some additional rules for the replacement emotes:

:bulletred: The emote replacing one on the legend mus be EXACTLY the same canvas size. If its currently not, you may want to go and poke the emoticonist ;p
:bulletorange: The llama can not be replaced
:bulletyellow: Character specific emotes (e.g spyed/jark) emotes can not be replaced

info:

Please place your suggestions on this journal. If its a replacement, i'd also appriciate knowing which emote it is to replace, and the code it should be under. You can link to plz accounts, but you need to also locate the emoticon in the creators gallery

You can suggest your own emotes, howevever remember they must fit the criteria.

If you would like to say a few words why you would like to see it, it would be nice but not necessary.

Please don't suggest a massive list to me. Think carefully.

Please can i have all suggestions in by 21st June. This allows the emotes to be reviewed and decisions to be made.

We can't promise any specific emote will be added, but we will certainly consider any suggestions

If you have any more questions, just ask :D

Updates


I spent 4 hours this afternoon updating the list (i'm not exaggerating that) and when i hit enter, it told me it was too big and wiped all my progress. I had closed the browser before i realised this, so can't recover the data. I've come to the conclusion that a journal list is a bad idea.

The new proposed idea is a set of fave collections. As i didn't want to use my personal faves, i have opted to use an account called ~The-Emote-Hub (this is a old account that never got started)

Please make sure you comment on this journal to make sure they are added :)

Keep the suggestions coming though :)
