she says there is a lot of tension, largely due to portions of the population becoming modernized and others not. apparently there were a lot of bandits around that time and japan was progressively becoming less and less safe, especially when they made it illegal to carry swords. many displaced people who had spent their lives learning swordplay and suddenly finding themselves without purpose in the new society.

No, it sounds kind of dumb. I prefer the ghost as the imagination of the annoying companion of the old man.

Something like

>Weren't we talking about the siege of Baghdad?
>That means I HAVE to be a ghost!
>What?! Why?
>Because ghosts are COOL and they're like, very historical.

I don't see the sense in 'officially' forcing one or the other, when that's impossible. Artists who prefer one or the other or both will draw them separately or together anyway, or even generate subjects on their own, and that's for the best.

An elderly man stands stands out from the other board's avatars, and I expect that it will more accurately represent the board -- but I think the ghost is also a cute idea that ought not go to waste.

This >>32354 post has it right, in any case.

Maybe you don't understand, but the entire point of a board-tan is for it to be cute, hence the -tan suffix. So, not an old man.

Maybe a cute loli or shota with a fake beard or something?

Cute anime lolis is kind of the point of a moe anthropomorphization. Board "mascots" aren't really mascots in the traditional sense. They are referred to often as "board-tans", as in /a/-tan or /d/-tan, and they are meant to evoke a specific style of anthropomorphized object, idea, etc. as pioneered by Japanese netizens.

That being said, 4chan board-tans often go outside the standard set by what they are based on, and I do think an old dude might work. Or perhaps something like, say, a 20-something guy who has grown a beard and bleached it white in an attempt to look like an old man.

Or, maybe we should wait until we've settled into an actual coherent consistent community to make something meant to represent what this board is all about. Or even just wait until drawfags from other boards do it for us. I don't know if /his/ has the sense of self-deprecating humor and overall self-awareness to create a mostly-accurate, humorous representation of itself. Most board-tans were not created by a consensus of the community there, they were created by crossboarding and outside observer drawfags from various boards.

Really? There's /pol/ and /v/ but those are both cancerous places we shouldn't try to emulate, plust they're not really -tans in the first place and aren't referred to as such since they aren't cute.

That sounds bretty gud, at least the part with Vivian inviting over Twitter and Reddit; you should work on that,

Come on, guys.

We figured it out before the first thread was even halfway over.

The old philosopher made out of marble is the board-tan. The loli was just shitposting, but I'm not saying it can't be a board mascot as well.

Everything past this is just overthinking it.

What the hell are you guys doing? I come back and I see this. We already had the design and everything. Everything came to be naturally, and without shitposting.This is what happens when you don't link the old threads. there was no shitposting, just creativeness. We were swapping ideas like mad men, you slould've seen it. It was wonderful. But now everything has been sick and twisted. It's no longer fun, anymore. You should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.

It just doesn't make sense to have a loli. The only boards that have a tan like that are the ones that discuss that lolishit or the ones that blabber like actual children.

I just want the board-tan to be a trve Roman rather than a Greek.

Also I don't want a loli-tan but a cute mascot that can wear any historical outfit kind of works desu senpai.

why 18? The youngest possible age? That seems incredibly daft for a history board.

I'm thinking something more along the lines of Proteus
>>
>>37844
From WP
>Some who ascribe to him a specific domain call him the god of "elusive sea change", which suggests the constantly changing nature of the sea or the liquid quality of water in general. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar to several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms". "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.

Bonus points for "Mytheme"

content is what does it.

You can argue all day long about whether something 'should' go one way or the other, but what the drawfags end up creating is what gets passed around and generally accepted.

Suffice to say, if you think your design should be "it," and if there are people that agree with you, draw something. Make something dumb or some attempt at a joke.

If you don't make content than your idea is just a sketch someone made. If you don't have sharable images than however many people are behind it people will be using something else next week.

I'm fucking terrible at art but I'll probably continue making dumb shit like this because this is the design I liked the best and I don't want it to be forgotten.

our biggest obstacle in this decision is that history is interesting BECAUSE it's such a diverse, broad subject, so a single tan, even a shape-shifting one fails because it's still a single persona.

you know what i think? /his/ should be an entire council of characters. We should wait, wait until mini-communities form around specific topics like Romanboos such as yours truly, then they can create their own personifications.

Eh, maybe if it was a board full of generals, but we should want a single tan that'll represent /his/ somehow. A cute ghost-tan has honestly been the best suggestion so far for that, but I can see why people dislike the idea.

>>
>>38670

That was my point.

Also, I don't mind a pairing of a cute tan that dresses up historically and a historical figure, but the statue-like Greek figures don't seem very good. He should still be obviously drawn and 'invented' rather than just an attempt at copying art of ancient Greeks. I'm not saying he should be cute or attractive or anything, but just looks nice to associate with.

Even going for the "grumpy historian" look, they still just look like imitations of actual art that don't look very appealing.

But all of the other board-tans are either original or based on things that are deliberately drawn to look appealing and in a nice art style - and they all work well.

The figures drawn so far for old Greek historians haven't, they look like copied statues.

No there isn't, you retard. These threads have been a clusterfuck of people voting for things that they fancy since the Winter Ball. Whatever "system" there is to this is entirely based off of the board's preference.

A ghost could follow time in a way mortals can't, which is important for a board revolving around history.

I'm not advocating for the use of a ghost-tan, but a ghost does make some sense.
