Masa's cool. :) I probably worded my response poorly, but I actually want the best artist we can get, regardless of whether they're on-site or not.

probably should go with top 10, seeing as we dont even have ten people willing to sign up for a contest.

Well, that may work for you bya, but there aren't many of the top 10 that are still active. A little consideration for active members who are willing to stay active, maybe?

Besides, the top 10 got all that sd when it was easy. It's hardly fair for them to get credit now.

I wasn't aware One Piece was just about the most powerful people. They were all mooks starting out at one point; we should pay tribute to all levels of strength.

I also don't think I've seen Guevara or Kaito for a bit. And most of them just look like generic anime characters. We want characters that look unique, colourful and lively! You don't see the whole One piece crew looking like this:

Faggots


We want weirdos! We want strange clothes, strange faces and body shapes! We want colour and life and vibrancy! And I know for a fact that Umbert is unfamiliar and colorful enough to be a good feature on any banner. A wide-eyed, psycho grin with a lot of teeth. 'Nuff said.

You haven't seen me? I'm always here and posting. 2 SLs going.

Also, if you think the SD gained by us was easy, then you must be butt hurt like mad. It wasn't until grading was reviewed that SD levels escalated so fast.

I think that Umbert has a point. High SD Banner characters should obviously be among the strongest, but they should also look reminiscent of Oda's work. Since they are basically the front image of a Role Play dedicated to One Piece.

Out of the top ten characters, Minette, Anthony and Beatrix seem to be the only ones who genuinely look like One Piece characters.

Izuru seems like he could pass off as a Strong World character. He's also pretty reminiscent of Shanks even if he wears a suit.

Ryan is pretty close to a One Piece character too.

Other than that, the rest look like projections straight out of other manga. I'm just talking about their look though, and this is just my opinion, i'm sure we all have our own impressions of Oda-sensei's art.

Anyway, i don't think there is any reason to limit it to the top ten. This is as much about cool looking characters as it is about strong characters. Adding more possibilities to choose from can't hurt.

It's funny because Minnette is a complete rip.

And the point wasnt to limit it to the top ten, but rather because there aren't enough people outside of it willing to submit their characters, apparently. Hell, I would submit Dani except she might get scooped soon.

Still don't know why I'm involving myself in this.

Basically this thread was set up really to allow as many people above 200 sd to apply, although limiting the application to one character from one account. It was never going to be a case of only choosing the top ten sd characters, because it is mostly about the popular characters, not the strongest in terms of sd.

The banner was created for the higher level sd characters, and sadly that means that I had to make a certain level for people to cross. I think 200 is high, but there are some characters in 300+ so it is allowing for veteran characters to be placed alongside the big characters, some of which have even been in site plot stuff. we have currently got the rookie banner being worked on, and this was supposed to juxtapose that banner, so that there was a low end banner, and a high end banner.

Also, in light of recent discussion within the cbox, I will be stating that no more than two characters from a single crew will be allowed to be put onto the banner, thus stopping the banner becoming just a fan art of a specific crew. Also, I would like to reinstate that of the applicants placed here, there will ultimately only be SIX final winners that will get to go on the banner, and that will be decided by the voters.

Wat.

So just because SD gaining was "easier", they don't deserve credit for gaining a massive amount of it. Even if this were true it'd make no sense, and it's not even fucking true so stop talking out of your ass.

SD Gaining was easier when I began? Wrong. 24 1,250+ word posts only netted 42SD back then, less than 2SD per posts. How is that not earning your SD the hard way? Or 61SD off 43 posts, less than 1.5SD per post. Now please explain to me, how did I gain my SD easier? It's not as if the top 10 gained massive amounts per post like the recent cycle shows. Like I said, stop making shit up, it makes you look even worse than you do with all of your nonsensical comments.
Smh

So just because your character looks mentally retarded he's more deserving over other characters on the site to be placed on the banner, when these people have put much more time, effort, and hardwork into the site and deserves to be acknowledged for their effort? No. Fuck on with that noise. Also, that was such a desperate attempt to get people to vote for Umbert that it actually made me feel sad for you.
lol

So, because the images used to reference their characters aren't One Piece fucking fan-art OC's they don't deserve to be on the banner, which I'm pretty sure of would be drawn reminiscent of Oda's style? What's funny is that you mentioned direct rips and compared it to Oda's work, just shows how gullable and inaccurate you are, you and Umbert are really taking leaps of faith with your arguments, aren't you.

And like I said before, I believe that it should be top 10 considering the fact that in my opinion they deserve it more than others, but whatever. I just can't believe Umbert's logic, or lack-there-of. Anyways, Bya-out.

You sound stupid as fuck, if I honestly gave a fuck about Daisuke looking like Oda drew him then I would've gotten it done out of what, like 10 commissions I have of Daisuke? Right.

Kudos to whichever mangaka drew Minette then. I personally never saw her before.

@Bya: I did not in any way mean that they don't deserve to be on the banner, if it were up to me, I'd have all the characters of the RP on it, but that's a physical impossibility. Anyway, try not to take it so personally next time, Daisuke looks pretty cool in his own right.
