I'm now an administrator on both the main site and on the forums, instead of just being a quality control staffer and a global moderator. What does this mean for you? Not much, but I felt like making this announcement, lest any of you forget to pay your monthly tribute to the administrators in the form of fresh-baked cookies.

Oh, and since MFGGers need reminders every once in a while: Please don't submit sprites that are recolors or simple edits of existing sheets. Palette swaps are extremely easy to make, and MFGG just doesn't have a need for those. If you'd like to contribute something MFGG needs, try spriting enemies from games like Yoshi's Island, Super Mario 64, and the New SMB games in different styles - many of those characters have never been sprited in commonly-used styles like Superstar Saga or SMB3. Or sprite a bunch of characters and tiles in your own custom style - that would be extremely useful for people looking to make an original-feeling fangame. I sometimes see some pretty lousy submissions in the queue, but I believe you folks have the ability to accomplish far greater things!

Uh, I think you admins or QC guys know this, but I have 2 "Not commonly sprited enemies in a commonly-used style" sheets in the queue since last JANUARY.

Yet more unnecessary hate on recolors and "imperfect" edits. Guess I should have expected that anyways.

Well congratulations annyway, VinnyVideo.

It's not unnescesary at all. Recolours can be done in about a minute, and we don't need them clogging up mfgg and making it harder to find the good sprites. If someone needs recolours, they can do it themselves; as I said before, it takes about a minute.

You don't represent MFGG in an entirety.

Well, I've made 2 sprite sheets (Ideas seem to have popped into my mind all of a sudden). While they may not be NSMB, SM64, or Yoshi's Island, I think they're gonna be neat inclusions anyway. ;-)

DJ Y: Thanks!

Wiiboy: 95% of recolors submitted here are declined because they're sloppily-made or redundant. Sheets don't have to be "perfect" to be accepted, but they do have to be useful, and most recolors are very easy to make.

SMB MM: I used those games as examples of games that have been underrepresented on MFGG. They're certainly not the only ones.

I'm saying, you're acting like you're a representation of everyone on MFGG that sprites, or attempts to do so. Or at least you seem to be.

No I'm not. I'm explaining why recolours shouldn't be submitted.

1. Well that's your opinion.

Yes, but they're completely pointless and there's no reason to post them.
You said it point blank, life you're 100% right and as if the same thing applied to everyone else. But, whatever, I will concede. Enjoy your bashing of simple edits and recolors that apparently no one needs.

And neither do you. If you can express your opinion then so can he.

Gotta remember that with something like this, your either for or against it which means, even if he doesn't represent all of MFGG, he still would represent a decent amount, especially when you consider that many people are indeed against recolors.

Yeah in other news we have two new QC staff now, Elyk and Chaoxys, who will help us handle the queue more efficiently.

Those with entries long in the queue should be happy about this :)

Right you're referring to me? Since all the MIDI sounds in this update were posted by me.
