Wow. we did this banner because of this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSrQvjhKk0U

We were in the process of adding a surfboard behind the melon, I like how you immediately assume racism based on a fruit that we happened to put on our banner, pls ban yourself

Well... Looked it up and here.. From Wikipedia!

Quote
Watermelons have been viewed as a major symbol in the iconography of racism in the United States since as early as the nineteenth century. The truthfulness of this stereotype has been questioned; one survey conducted from 1994 to 1996 showed that African Americans, at the time 12.5 percent of the country's population, only accounted for 11.1 percent of the United States' watermelon consumption.

While the exact origins of this stereotype remain unclear,[better source needed] an association of African Americans and watermelon goes back to the time of slavery in the United States. Defenders of slavery used the fruit to paint African Americans as a simple-minded people who were happy when provided watermelon and a little rest. The stereotype was perpetuated in minstrel shows often depicting African Americans as ignorant and workshy, given to song and dance and inordinately fond of watermelon.

Strange.

Mates, prob not racism. Its not medieval enough.

I think it's because a bunch of banners that aren't "authentic" are being purged. Some M&B village maps do have melons growing in the farm areas. Maybe if you swapped the pallet from 90s pastels to "authentic" middle ages colors you could keep it? I'd wait until someone important posts an outline of what is and isn't allowed after the banner purge.

I don't mean to offend anyone but its probably going to happen anyway... Inappropriate banner just simply means it didn't meet the criteria the devs expect to see in their mod and whats wrong with this banner in particular isn't anything to do with blurry, racism, or badly put together... It's simply doesn't fit in this mod because all that it is is a banner with paint, and a fruit on it. If you wanted to attempt to fix it first try removing the watermelon and getting help from someone that has offered to help make banners for gold * Just ask them whats wrong with it and maybe they can point out specifics for free or even give you ideas on how to get your banner accepted.*

I'd wait until someone important posts an outline of what is and isn't allowed after the banner purge.


This definitely and I'm no one important.

As much as I like to eat watermelon, the banner should be obvious to anyone that it doesn't fit with this mod(no fun allowed).

This banner could still be turned into something which doesnt break the "immersion".

I think mostly it's the bright colors of the banners, that are not in harmony with the surrounding mod textures.
The game engine makes it even brighter in-game, so darkening the Banner-texture, and maybe adding fold shadows,  a fabrik texture overlay or some dirt might help a bit.

Well your banner is clearly not medieval, you could figure it out by yourself. Nobody sliced watermelons like that back in middle ages.

So what, did they just swallow them whole? Guess I forgot that archaic homo sapiens could unhinge their jaws to swallow large prey...

As soon as Panos gets banned again the banner retaliation shall be swift and brutal. I dream of a cRPG where the quality of a banner is not based on the content, but by the meaning behind it. RIP in peace Jive Turkey, you will be missed.

Who the fuck plays this game and mod for immersion anyway? Unless there is an adult content, there is no reason to ban a banner.

It was a jive turkey you dolt. The rainbow represented the gay players in MB. And the jive turkey meant we don't take any guff from anyone
