Does this mean that the bay12 last supper might one day see the light of day?

[Vester]

Yes. Yes it may.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

HUZZAH!

[Duke 2.0]

 I am having regrets about ever suggesting that.

 Speaking of regrets, may I ask to see what you think the U-Man represents? There is the ever-stylish U-head caricature, but in the DF context of the symbol representing something what do you find it represents in terms of a human avatar?

[Vester]

I've always wondered about that myself. As it stands, I find the U alone extremely evocative - it doesn't make any distinction between race, gender. It just shows a profession, and that's it. I guess in a more meta sense we eventually come to identify people more with what they do than their appearance.

Guh. You made me think.

How in the... I don't even...

Guh?

 Well, I do represent a female U as a pink one in a rather mildly sexist way. But this is just what I use when messing about and not the traditional DF symbol representation.

 And note it shows race/object as well, although I have yet to find people who use E, ☺ or k consistently.

if you are taking requests...

I request a rendition of my face, as shown in my current avatar.

[Vester]

Sure! But I have a pretty large backlog to work through, so it might be a while.

By race, I meant, Caucasian, etc.

 But yes, will you do this for me? I suppose I should provide some basic criteria for the human representation, but unlike others I would like to gague how others think of me through more subtle ways.

[Neruz]

Well i'm afraid ever since you changed your avatar to that Duke, you've become that guy on a horse, rearing in the sunset, sword outraise and flag held high.

Possibly one could replace the man with a large green U, but the hat would have to stay.

I... can try.

PM me the details!
