Forum:Devil fruit color schemes: second thoughts (revote?)

Going back to square one here, we used to be able to know instantly what we were doing with the colour schemes of the Devil Fruit pages. Match 'em u to the current crews/organisation/etc (colours based around the "leader" of the crew) and it was fairly quick and simple to do.

Then we did a vote to change this. This made colour schemes independant of crews/etc and gave us freedom to do what we what; with a price.


 * Some of the new colours schemes are based on the characters attaire; not the powers
 * some make little sense in context of the power itself
 * This was done because there wasn't anything to go by (Horo Horo no Mi first comes to mind here) because the powers themselves are just not like that.
 * As I pointed out with the attaire, a change of colour makes the scheme outdated.
 * We have to vote in each one
 * Several schemes are preposed
 * Over time editors are taking less interest in there and vote no.s are going down.

I'm not going to open a poll just yet because there were other things to consider, I've forgotten, all I'm saying is that this all thing is nice... BUT. Though it was voted in, the heart was in the right place of the voters; the results not working out so well. I'm not saying "drop 'em right now", I sort of could forsee this problem coming out of this. Editors generally want to get on with things and really don't want to have to keep voting on the same things time and time again. This is causing some colour schemes to stay in limbo for some while to give 3 editors time to vote.

As I said, I'm not calling a re-vote, nor prepose we drop what we're doing and restart, but I am saying we should perhaps consider what is and isn't good about this idea. If worst comes to worst, at least the old idea left us knowing in an instant what we were doing and it had some sort of logical sense and was a universal scheme all Devil Fruits shared.

I give my hats off, the level of "beauty not demostration" is so far passable and it has been about trying to find the most logical colours, but sometimes, their just not there. One-Winged Hawk 09:56, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
