Forum:Mirage Arena: Looking Back and Moving Forward

Discussion
{{SilverCrono|time=06:44, January 9, 2011 (UTC)|text=I remember I hated this when it started. Man, times does fly. :}


 * The editcount. Should we figure out how it's going to work, or are we just going to get rid of it completely?
 * Nope, it's good with me. We didn't seem to see too many problems, I don't think.
 * The rules. Do we need to be more specific or more lax?
 * We already fixed the comment length thing, so I think the rules are fine.
 * Aesthetics. I, for one, think we need a new battle box. Anyone who can come up with a good one, submit it here.
 * I was hoping you'd say that. I actually thought of this a while ago. Check it out. Any thoughts? Suggestions?
 * Staying or going. Should the Mirage Arena remain here, or move to the new wiki?
 * Move to the new wiki, definitely. If this is going to become a social place, we'll need the MA over at New-KH-Wiki to make sure Jack doesn't become a dull boy.
 * The Joint Struggle. Keep Second Chance? Scrap it? Make it bigger?
 * I thought Joint Struggle was ingenious, actually. Second Chance was an awesome way to keep all contenders in the game, and you and R&D did a great job.

So yeah, MA rules. Let's hope 2011 makes it even more awesome sauce.}}

As if, it doesn't show your Card, Walkthrough, and MediaWiki edits because you haven't made any. 01:11, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Indeed. It shows in the editcount separated. So I guess no rewording is needed. 01:21, January 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Walkthrough is not an actual namespace. Also, only admins can edit MediaWiki (which is really weird, because I have made MW edits on other wikis, but it is not shown in the totals).   02:10, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Back to Business
Umm... when is the MA going back into business? -- 19:46, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * After the move, most likely. It's not very practical to start it, move, and then have to alter things to the new wiki.

After Teh Move
Alright, we move'd. Now what? Any decisions about the new battle box (or lack therof), DS/KKD? -- 18:24, 9 February 2011 (EST)
 * Okays! The Nominations are back up; I hope we can start a new battle next week. And the voting for the new Battle Box is being held.

Nonononononono no no no no no. No! We cannot start the MA until we're fully moved in here and all the pages are synched. Besides that, I'm not ready to start running nominations again. The last thing the wiki needs is a time-waster right now.

Vote for Battle Box
Here we shall vote for the Mirage Arena Battle Box. Feel free to add your own version here for voting. The voting will close once the first battle is set to start. Do not vote for your own creations. The current proposed Box are:


 * The current Battle Box - the old and regular Box that everyone is used to.


 * Erry's Battle Box - A different layout with ticker borders, darker colors, a This Week's Fight! reader and a enhanced image of the x-Blade.
 * 1) - Gotta go with this one. It's mot all that different from the current one, but the darker color scheme and background for the X-Blade work really well.15:07, 12 February 2011 (EST)
 * 2) - Nice to read and easy on the eyes.  ~Lilienne  ♫  ^^  20:35, 12 February 2011 (EST)
 * 3) -  13:28, 13 February 2011 (EST)
 * 4) Yurs. 17:04, 15 February 2011 (EST)


 * As if!'s Battle Box - The same layout as Erry's but with a pallet swap based on the Mirage Arena logo, and a stylized Vs. image.
 * SilverCrono's Battle Box - A new layout with round corners, thicker borders, and a This Week's Fight! reader. 17:39, 12 February 2011 (EST)

Comments and Proposals
Post here the any comments on the Battle Box and the votings.

Yeah, is there any way we can ditch the X-Blade as the "vs" thing? Not that it isn't extremely badass, I just think it should be saved for more important occasions, like the Joint Struggle. If we could get a new "VS" image back in, that'd be killer. Thoughts? -- 21:50, 12 February 2011 (EST)
 * I like As if!'s VS, I think we should use it. Someone should make the quality better, though. 22:07, 12 February 2011 (EST)
 * We could also always just go back to the Oathkeeper/Oblivion one.00:48, 13 February 2011 (EST)

Honestly, Erry's is... for lack of a better term... PIMPIN'! I like the way the X-blade fades to blue. Also, no personal offense intended, but pink just doesn't get me in a battle type of mood. 13:27, 13 February 2011 (EST)
 * I'm for it too — the current one was good for a start, but Erry's sort of gets the battle rolling. I do love this colour scheme, but I would prefer if it had rounded edges just like SilverCrono's. Tambours Tonnerre Ensemble !  12:12, 14 February 2011 (EST)

Okay guys! I'll leave this voting open for one more week, and then it's closed for good.11:24, 26 February 2011 (EST)
