It's the Internet, dude. People are supposed to get riled up over widdle things. Text kinda lacks nuances of meaning and intent. =)
Hey, at least we're still civil about it.
Speaking for myself...I was sorta takin' what you were saying as, well, pretty much instructions, not suggestions. 'cause, I mean, you're the guy who proposed all this in the first place, and the one still, however nominally, "in charge". Sorry if I seemed like I overreacted, too...re-reading what I wrote, it seems more vehement than I meant. Really wasn't meaning to frustrate you or anything.
Anyway.
I'm thinking...Morganni, Cindy and I agree that fixing colour and patterns isn't going to work. So where does that leave us?
Well, how about the status quo? What we've got now.
That is...
Head: Normal, Detail 1: Tiara 3-8 (Preferably 4 or 6 )
Upper Body: Armored, Chest: Armor Plate (Preferably Armor Plate pattern)
Chest Detail: Jewel, Shoulders: Any
Gloves: Smooth/Bare, Armor Plate (Preferably Armor Plate pattern)
Belt: Jewel
Lower Body: Skirts, Pleated Short Skirt or Pleated Miniskirt
Bottom: (Preferably Bikini 1)
Boots: Smooth, Armor Plate (Preferably Armor Plate pattern)
(Colours should match powerset and special effects)
That's the status quo. You'll note the fields I've marked as 'preferable' in italics...are the ones where we already differ as a matter of choice. Morganni's said she can live with Armor Plate chest...if she doesn't use the Armor Plate colour pattern. Well, His Lovely Wife already doesn't.
I personally think Armor Plate looks best with the corresponding pattern. But that's just me. I'd say it's fair to encourage it - but if someone really can't stand it, then where's the harm? We've seen 'em together, and I don't think Lia breaks the rhythm of the team lineup. Hell, Grace is probably more jarring than her.
Colours, I think, are probably best left to the individual player, provided they can be justified as appropriate...and, really, it shouldn't be too hard to justify. Satomi of the Stars currently has a white and grey costume, which has nothing to do with the radiation green of her powers. But it fits the notion of stars.
(Granted, colour choice is the point I'M not compromising on, so of course I'd say that. =)
Again. I'm suggesting status quo. What we've already done. I think the existing girls are enough of a matched set, with a distinctive enough look. Very Rayearth, as has been noted. I like Rayearth.
That said...
I do think Morganni has a point, tho - we might wanna consider different footwear or boots to replace the current Smooth/Armor Plate. I'm happy with what we've got right now, but yeah, maybe it could be improved...
