Title: Lets talk about Space Elves
Post by: Quanto on September 26, 2012, 02:14:11 am
Lets talk about Space Elves...
Specifically, why there are no delicious brown space elves.


Come now Spoon!

Its commonly accepted that Brown Elves are 120% more awesome than those boring pale elves.

Look at this elf! How can you say no to that face?

Accept this petition as a testament on my stance towards this issue.
Thank you, and good day.

Actually that particular elf has pretty pale skin as well... just that in contrast with the backround- and haircolors it seems to be darker. But if you block out the background you'll see she doesn't even have a sun-tan, much less dark skin.

Not that I have any problem with the actual (worded) proposal. I'm just saying the picture doesn't fit the request.

A more appropriate 'Brown' elf example would be This Elf (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs44/i/2009/217/8/e/Captain_Holly_Short_by_CelticBotan.jpg)

That's right, we've got enough milky elves.

We now need choco elves.

We need both. Together. In an onsen. With oil.

you know at this point, I'm not too sure if it's Dekker's lecherous way of thinking that has corrupted my mind or if it's all me.

Okay, okay, I'll admit that she's not as dark as she could be, but she's the only one I could find in my folder that wasn't in a medieval setting. Space Elves/Modern Elves are hard to find when you start looking for them.

I take it you all missed Valria, the dark elf with ice blue hair.  No, I don't have a picture handy.  No, she can't have white hair because Spoon said Yaiceca had it first. :blah:

FireSpawn, it is probably both.  You share a lot of DNA with him, after all.

I'm spoiler-tagging this rant as a courtesy because if you don't want to read it you don't have to...

Spoiler:
You are an insufferable lot, all of you!

If this were the forums of a commercial game developer I would let you go on right ahead; not because I agree if you but because you would be customers who had suck money into a gameplay experience. as such you would be entitled to your opinion and deserved to opressivly poke the developers with a stick simply for the sorry reason that you have been paying your hard earned bucks.

But here in this very place, you simple DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO MAKE DEMANDS ... any, at all, ever.
This is the (virtual) place where our dear community member Spoon has chosen to express him_herself arstistically. S_he has decided to share what s_he has come up with in his_her little (metaphorical) workshop. Unlike people like me who are content with just telling a story for the sake of telling a story and giving a rat's arse if you like it or not, s_he has decided to give a damn about what you lot think and to accomidate your wishes for further releases.

This is a courtesy - something that has to do with being nice although it is not required - and it is to your benefit.
But appearently you have taken it upon yourselves to waste that good-will - for what I just cannot see. Abusing the good-will of another for no reason isn't anything but rude and destructive.

And this isn't a first time offense on this board, mind you. A certain topic was closed that started out as a nice gesture but was ruined by the exact same behavoir*.
*Okay, I might not be that innocent in that regard - but some of us grow by makeing mistakes.
And yet here we are again. Notice something?!

Spoon has already capitulated; your opinion is invalid. :p

Besides, this is much, much less creepy than the Ask a Character thread, most likely because there is zero Lorric involved.  Ban FireSpawn, Dekker, and Lorric from this forum and the worst of the sex offenders are gone.  I'm not saying the rest of us don't have sexual fetishes involving anime tropes, but we aren't as bad about it as those guys. :P

Spoiler:
But here in this very place, you simple DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO MAKE DEMANDS ... any, at all, ever.
And were exactly did anyone make any demand at all?
Quanto asked very politely for adding a bit more color variety to Cyrvan skins (especially considering the large color palette of their hair-colors not an unreasonable petition) and the others just joked around (or nitpicked about the posted picture, in my case). While this certainly is a request (please add X), it certainly is not a demand (you MUST add X).

Right at this moment I see a few posts that might be considered annoying and/or sexist, but the only post in this thread that comes close to being "insufferable" is yours.

Take a few deep breath, re-read the thread and think about it some time and you'll see there is no reason here for such a tantrum. Considering that the person the thread and it's comments are directed at - Spoon - doesn't seem to be offended, I don't see why you would be so deeply offended.

It is Yaiceca. Oh and I put a gag on her so you won't have to listen to her foul mouth.  :D

Samuel Elf Jackson would be completely refined as he calmly yells about the mother****ing Nordera boarding his mother****ing ship, simply because that's what elves do.  It wouldn't be a worse role for him than a passive Jedi Master. :lol:

I am amazed at the amount of hate you can have for a fictional character of which you've heard no more than 20 lines from and know nothing else about.

Then again, seeing what happens in real life I probably shouldn't be.

It is not hate. Not REAL hate. It is pseudo-hate. It is fun for me. Don't you feel similar emotions for fictional characters? But you don't carry any real hate when the film is over or you stop reading. Neither do I for Yaiceca. Imagine how you'd feel if you got to talk to the author of a book or director of a film and they let you chat through them to a "hated" villain of yours. This is what it's akin to.

Is this what bothers people? Do they think I am motivated by real hate? I am not. As a character I like Yaiceca, like you'd like that snarky villain in a work of fiction.

*snip*

Dude...
You're just plain creepy.

I don't know what this *snip* is, or how it got there. Check my original comment. It's nothing to do with me. You must have put it there.

And if you still think I'm creepy, don't confuse my interactions with the fictional Yaiceca with my real personality.
