The mascot can't look like anyone's character. A few was jealous of my character being up in the corner of the forum. (I ended up removing my character from there.)
I say have the mascot look like the smilies we are using. --->

Creating a
character to represent the pack kinda feels like belittleing everyone else. Thus, I'm somewhat opposed to the idea. My opinion could be swayed, but I still think a mascott is merely a symbol... which we have.

The image of the gray-eared brown and white werewolf hurling duckies is one of the first things I think of when I contemplate silly things found on the Internet. It's as quitchy as "All your base are belong to us."

For those of you with jelousy, remember. Figarou the wolf is a
character. Figarou the
person is real, but is not the wolf. Fig has already made it clear to me that his character is not his alter-ego/ fursona. Just a character, and a truely great one I might add. I still can't help but think they are one and the same sometimes.

Even if it were to go to a vote, Fig still would probably win...

Me four.
If only people wouldn't get jelous and make Figarou nervous due to the fact. That's what happened when A.B. put Figarou's character up at the top of the forum. Nothing to be worried over. Fig deserves it.
Back when the Forum just came back online at the new domain, and the new forum skin was displayed with Figarou at the top, I protested it in threads that were since deleted when the old files were fully uploaded and the test threads were overwritten. It seems I started a mini-coup when I did that, and the scars seem to have remained, even if not everyone remembers where it started...though some clearly do.
It appears to me that
I am the only reason why Figarou is
NOT currently the Pack Mascot, and still on the head banner...
or at least, I made the idea 'unacceptable'...
(No one is saying my name...protecting me from flaming perhaps...but I know that I am to blame for this)
Something in the back of my mind still tells me it might be a bad idea to put Figarous personal character, (derived from his actual RL name, combined with "Loup
Garou"), as the figurehead of the whole global community, regardless of how much I may like him...though I struggle to explain exactly why I feel that way.
However, I am but one voice here, though I know I sometimes bark a little louder (so to speak)...so if the rest of THE PACK wants to appoint the Grey-Eared, Ducky tossing Werewolf as our official/unofficial mascot, I will not stand in the way any longer.
...I stand down...
