Needs new image, current one is spoileriffic: It Got Worse

So, the current page image is a huge spoiler for Dragon Age.

I can't think of any picture to replace it with, but do we have a consensus on pulling it?

hm yeah prolly should pull it

Supporting pull. It's the second last scene.

Hm. There is a Nedroid strip we could use, unless we find something that I haven't been suggesting way too often. Give me a minute.

EDIT: Here it is.

I like it, but aren't we not supposed to use the entire strip?

I like the strip, also.

Maybe we could just use the bottom two panels?

Yeah, I think any combination could work. The whole is, of course, funnier, but two or three panels will get the trope across.

I think 1-3-4 or 3-4 are the best combinations. Panel two adds a lot to the joke, but I still think it's the one that can most easily be sacrificed.

I'm thinking the first three panels, arranged in a triangle.

1-3-4 seems the best to me.

I support the pull. Only takes three so I removed it. And I basically agree with the 1-3-4 of the above webcomic. *has nothing interesting to add*

I think just 1 and 3 could get the point across.

nothing I ever do will ever be good enough, you want to undo every good thing I try to contribute...

who cares about spoilers? This IS a spoilerish trope in itself. It usually marks a majorly important point in a plot, so... spoilers are inevitable.

Sorry, but pics that are blatant spoilers (and I'm taking the word of the others in here on this since I know nothing about the title) are verboten...and so is reposting a pic after an IP thread's caused it to be pulled; that can get you banned. The pic's pulled again.

There was no "official" decision making that happened, I did nothing wrong. Stop being so judgemental of me (and trying to make me feel bad and stupid by acting all knowing and superior), it is clearly marked as a spoiler trope.

why the spoiler phobia anyway?

We pulled the image by standard procedure, with massive support.

And yes, it's marked as a spoiler trope, but a reader will see the image before seeing that.

Reading examples requires an active decision to scroll down and read. Seeing a pic can happen through clicking a more or less innocent pothole or even the random button. We want to avoid spoling people who don't want to be spoiled.

Massive support? There's not that many repliers here... and who's "we"? Everyone besides me? Great, now I feel like rubbish.

No one has anything against you personally, except the juggernaut possum that stalks the jungles in east Asia, and that guy has something against everyone.

Newcomers make mistakes. It's perfectly natural. I was introduced to IPD after adding a bad picture without discussion and immediately having it pulled. It doesn't make one a bad person.

"We" is every person who posted in the thread up until pull.

well if not for the spoiler I think it would be perfect. I tried my best but maybe someone else can find something better.

Standard procedure is that someone calls for a pull, and if the motion for a pull gets at least 2 supporting votes with no opposition to the pull. There were like 4 or 5 votes for pulling with no opposition, so the picture got removed.

And spoiler images are supposed to be pull-on-sight anyway unless it's determined to be It Was His Sled. If it's possible to have a non-spoiler image, that's what we try to do.

I really had no idea how the old picture represented the trope; they only way I saw a connection to the trope to me is "at least it cannot be worse...", which is actually Rock Bottom. (How do I know the last one is 'worse'? The content of the trope page itself?) It might just be because I have never played Dragon Age, which is true of several people besides me in all likelihood.

Some arrangement of those panels seems fine to me, even if having all three panels seems slightly excessive to me. (Probably 1-3-4, for reasons stated by everyone else supporting

Clock is set.

I like 1-2-3, but I guess 1-3-4 isn't bad either.

1-2-3 looks best to me as well.
