Equine Transformation - Going ahead - please read for info!

Ahh well.
I'm not gonna pretend I didn't think it was going to happen. Especially after someone took it into their own hands to report CS.
I'm rather sad we didn't get to keep her second set of lines, but I'm glad the traced/heavily referenced ones are going.
I'm still trying to decide what to do with mine when they switch... I think I'm just gonna lock them up and throw them in the back of my collection.
-snip-.

Yeah, IMO, the least the could do for those of us that were so against the change is make a new line for all the old horse and ponies, so they still have uniqueness to them. Two different horse and pony lines would still be more uniform, as all the olds would be the same and all the news would be the same.

This is the most disgusting, terrible thing that has happened in CS.

Good-bye, Chicken Smoothie.

I loved you as you were... Without forcing plastic surgery on the poor animals. It is sad to have to part with my beloved horses, but I would much rather leave CS with the memory of Equimagine's lovely, cartoony, beautiful, and unique horses than stay and watch them be ruined.

It hurts to love a dying species. It hurts when the game I love most and have been loyal to is killing its creations. A parent should not force their children to change. A parent should not force plastic surgery on their child.

Way to be melodramatic.

How is it "disgusting" to value our artistic integrity and ensure that we actually get to keep something of the horses (the design) rather than, on the off chance that a DMCA report is filed, lose them completely?

This.
And how is it a "dying species"? Its pixels, how can it die?

I think you're being overly dramatic. This is about pixels, not children. Also, art theft.

These pixels matter to me, as they matter to many others. If indeed this art theft could make Chicken Smoothie be sued and taken down, I see no point of having a poll in he first place. If this was a legal problem, Chicken Smoothie would have to change regardless of the poll results. Overall, it seems unfair to let us vote if the results were chosen in the beginning before the poll was even up.

I do have to be fair though that CS should have been more clear about the tracing, because then we would have had a more balanced view and less fighting.

This is the most comically overdramatic reaction to this I have ever seen.

If you are honestly that upset about maintaining the artistic integrity of a site, then I do believe CS is better off without you. It's not about 'forcing plastic surgery on the poor animals', it's about fixing a mistake that was made.

Your very own point proves how unfair the poll was, as that means it was already decided that Equimagine horses MUST change even before the poll was started.

CS has to change the linearts, because they were traced. If the person who made the photos equimagine traced were to find out, Chicken Smoothie would be in danger of being shut down. I liked the old linearts better, but I then realized that the change is for the better of CS. Don't be too upset about it. The horses don't have feelings, they're just pixels. And they're only changing the lines, not the designs (;
