I have started this meeting in the Lounge Saloon to call out one man, one of our own trusted deputies to Sheriff Nate, Deputy @Lumi. While we were cutting and herding Green Room beasts all September long for #RevMo, he took votes from the crowd on what color bandannas we should wear in the winner's circle. There were some great choices but to the shock and horror of the victors of the rodeo, a sandy yellow was chosen.

The yellow is a crime and @Lumi should answer for it.

As one of the fine outlaws of this town's gang, I ask my fellow winners of the yellow #RevMo bandanna, to rally with me in fighting it. We will not just fight the fairies tonight, we will fight for fuchsia.

I hereby tag all the members of this rowdy bunch. Let us band together and fight. By high noon Tuesday, I expect to hear a defense on the part of the accused. We're already in the Town Square, so I guess we'll just have to meet you there.

*slams fist down*

I prefer painfully obnoxious gold; it appeals to my maliciousness. I stand by Lumi's choice and challenge the fuchsia lovers. Glory to gold forever!

a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

*slams fist on Silv's fist, for effect*

We will have none of this "Gold Supporting", as the kids nowadays call it! This painful eyesore of a color has been allowed to roam free for too long, and you bet your tassled leather boots I'll support fuschia in place of it.

@TheSilverFox so sorry, I couldn't hear your argument over the LOUD COLOR you chose to write it in.

*clears throat*

While I for one sympathize with those pained by such a sandy yellow, I can't commit to this campaign. How can you fight for fuchsia when it is just as EYE-WATERINGLY BRIGHT as your oh-so-hated yellow? When it was a solid last in the polls? What kind of unprincipled hypocrisy is this?

*I* for one will be standing for my principles, and I call upon everyone to stand behind the true winner: the lovely, gentle indigo, who ran neck and neck with gold in the polls. A readable and royal color, perfectly suited to crown the victors of RevMo.
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

Okay, I may not have gotten RevMo yellow, but I still have to look at it. I'm with @Mea. Indigo is good.

*stands up* *flips table* *clears throat*

I am a firm believer that fuchsia is the best color chosen, for several reasons. Firstly, because yellow is overtly bold and comes off as overly aggressive. Secondly, because although cyan is my favorite color out of the four, it is very close to the dark blue that previous mods have. Thirdly, because I don't like red-orange because reasons. And fourthly, because indigo is also pretty much the same color as the name previous mods are given.

And I will participate in peaceful *glares* discussions about how the name color could or should be changed. In these rigorous academic undertakings, we must keep in mind one thing.

When the voting was set up, we agreed that it was majority rules. So although sandy yellow is one of my least favorite colors, it is still the one that the people chose. *chokes up* And even if I don't agree with it, I love my fellow writers *sniffle* and want to do what's best for them. *tears pouring down cheeks* Even if that means not getting what I want.

I must concur most wholeheartedly with @Mea, having been one to vote in favor of such a noble hue in my favored range.

However, as @alliyah would be inclined to agree, color coordination between one's avatar and username is an important aesthetic consideration, and as the yellow does coordinate most wonderfully with my longtime face of Fai, I find myself compelled to take the stance of favoring any color other than fuschia.

Fuschia would clash horrendously with my bishounen's complexion.

@Kyllorac
Do not make me stop this car and turn around.
I will change the title but it will be inclusive of fuschsia. We kick out all those who support gold and the rest of then band together.

@LadyLizzLovelace

Fuschia is in the same family as hot pink.

As @Rosendorn will attest, I only (barely) tolerate any shade of pink (mainly for Rosey's sake).

Besides, I have my own car that I drive myself tyvm. I have SEEN how you DMV natives drive. No thank you. u_u

I actually legit nearly had a rule implemented that text could not be in any colour than the default, so I haven't used it in years. There was a warning post to not do it anymore because a rule might be put in place.

Why the warning a rule might be made?

Cause I wrote about 400 reviews and a few hundred posts in this colour.

Exclusively in this colour.

And I wrote about a thousand words per review.
