    Default That exciting time of year

    That's right, it's only 13 days away from the most exciting day of the year: Avatar Enlargement Day!

    I can't believe it's almost been three years since Deputy Prime Minister Madonna (formerly Genius Lynx, Dark Champion) announced one of the key pillars of our platform to the people of EoFF. We, The Poké Party, promised a logical progression of avatar sizes for all, and we have delivered! No longer do the good people of EoFF have to worry about conforming to the 80x80 requirements, nor do they have to fear the costs of avatar inflation.

    To celebrate this year's advancement from 82x82 to 83x83, I've gone ahead and revamped the look of my avatar:

    Get excited guys!

    How will you celebrate?


    Yours in Excellence,
    ~Prime Minister Timekeeper.

    The last time an avatar got bigger was during the sex scene in the movie.

    This could well be the single most important event in my lifetime.

    I'm going to ensure I have this day booked off as holiday every year so I can bathe in the milk of a thousand goats.

    We are actually behind schedule, I believe, because staff is not government, but what can you do? Seeing 84x84 would be ideal; however, knowing how uproarious my radical views are, the smaller upgrade of 83x83 would be acceptable.

    Signatures and avatars should swap places. That would be amazing.

    You are correct, and 84x84 would also sync better with the year. Unfortunately, I believe the legislation was not fully implemented until 2012 due to slow bureaucratic processes.

    Perhaps an alteration could be made?
    This would allow those like noxious.sunshine to have their ultimate wishes fulfilled by 2030, rather than 2031!

    I am glad that in this era of political failings, we can rely on Prime Minister Timekeeper and the Poké Party to deliver on their promises, even as competitors try and fail to hold their own undemocratic elections.

    Here's to bigger avatars! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    The FAQ defines an avatar as being 60pixels tall and 60pixels wide and smaller than 6 kilobytes! This idea of 83x83 avatars goes against traditional avatar values and I will not stand for it even though it in no way effects my avatar.

    This is what happens when we let a Chocobo be our Administrator.
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!
    Have a nice day!!

    Fixed.

    Also, we should return to 60x60 avatars. Long live 60x60! Down with avatar inflation!
