Hooray for the free market!

Now if only I could command people to vote for the correct choice... Grr...

Can I suggest Professor Layton?

The guy is one of the most polite characters in video game history, and he has quite a few adventures under his hat. When I picture Gentleman Adventurer, he is the first thing, for me, that comes to mind.

An "IP suggestion" is not (usually) just an idea, it's an image. At least a result or two from a GIS (Google image search) would be nice. That suggestion appears to be "this would be a good example", but an image is evaluated based on how it looks, not who it's a picture of. (See How To Pick A Good Image and Just A Face And A Caption for a start.)

I think we have an overwhelming consensus at this point, can we go ahead and put it up?

I went ahead and called this one, considering the vote count the leader had. Caption or no?

"How does he plan on using that machete without spilling his tea?"

[up] He is spilling his tea. See, there's some splashing out of his cup.

But in any case, "Point out a bit of random Fridge Logic in the image" captions are almost always terrible and add nothing to the image.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

"Capital! A spot of tea for a spot of exploring. Tally-ho!"

[up][up][up] That one's better because it uses "Tally-ho!" and "Capital!" and I find that amusing.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I'll see if I can find a good pic of Othar Tryggvassen!

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up][up] Eh, it'd be hard to find one of him being adequately gentlemanly.

I think those extra image pages what tropes have are woefully underused, though, so we can stick a picture of him on there! And I need to put the Beaton comic on one as soon as I remember what the right way to do that is. Image Links?.. Gah, I can't remember.

[up] Why, because he is Othar Tryggvassen, GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!

Oh, it is Image Links. Question — we aren't allowed to hotlink images, but if an image is already uploaded to TV Tropes, can we just post the image itself? I mean... like, the original trope picture. That's already on the website, so it's not hotlinking, right?..

Well, since we don't really have consensus on a caption, let's just run without. Locking up.
