Recently a few members of the wiki (me included) have made mascot concepts for the wiki: Ace, Vivi and... Jeff the Tree Frog. However, despite being popular, none of these mascots are official yet. I was thinking of having them be official mascots for the wiki and implemented across certain parts of the site.

#{{Support|Strongest}} Obviously, as the father of Ace, I shall give a yes. It'd be pretty if all would be used in some capacity, but I'm fine if this RfC results in an election for whom should be the sole mascot of AVID.

#{{Support|Strongest}} '''''that is scientifically proven to be achivable by the human race.'''''

#{{Support|Strongest}} Absolutely approve. Some don't see the point of this because they think it's "''unprofessional''" or "''we were fine without them because we didn't have them during the CLG days''," but to that I say, let us experiment and have some fun. Not everything we do here needs to be professional I think. They aren't really trying to make comparisons to the Lost Media Wiki and even Wikipedia having one, so they need to stop being such debbie-downers lol.

#:Yo Metronome, got nothing against you but please be more respectful, you don't need to call Eutrongs or me "debbie-downers" just because we oppose with this request.

#::::First of all, that was barely an insult and wasn't directed toward you two anyways. To me, it feels like those who are/were opposing are just saying we can't try things and such 'cause it's not necessary or professional. We're not trying to be totally professional and a lot of people seem to want a mascot anyway so I don't get it. They have a right to an opinion and criticizing the art is fine I guess, and maybe there isn't a point in the end, but let us have fun, I don't want to keep saying that.

#::::Well, I think they don't really fit in the wiki, all of them look pretty nice in terms of design but feel quite childish.

#{{Comment}} One final thing before closing: Looking back in the future years past from then, I firmly believe no one would really question the existence of Ace, Vivi and Jeff as AVID mascots (or heroes, however you prefer). It would be as much a natural thing to us as the absence of the Scary/Cheesy factors now. I hereby wish the most for the Heroes on their adventurous journey into our hearts!
