    I agree with Tesla Elesa. I think that a lengthier description adds more character to a theme in general, as long as it plays a purpose and as long as you don't go overboard.

    For example, I liked the way you executed the following descriptions:

    Whilst I don't agree that a description should be long in the sense that one rambles on just for the sake of it, in this instance however, your description adds some humour and overall, in my opinion, makes your theme look more interesting.

    Anyway, from my observation your theme looks overall balanced and I really like the idea of a Pixar theme in general. Hope it gets approved =]

    I'm sorry Wiljuice but I'm gonna have to re... re-route this theme back to the top of the review queue (Gotcha). I love the concept and the way you've been putting this together. You've displayed the creativity - user messages are win, detail - I could easily follow the progress of your code from your well laid out post and the [priorities] tag was a very nice touch, and apparent intellect - I only spotted a relative few grammatical errors! This level of intelligence and effort is what I want to see from all our theme-makers. There are some standouts so far. I'm gonna throw you in the mix.

    Anyway, I'm not approving your theme (lol @ the look on your face right now). I see just a bit too much hax, on the good guys especially. The game won't be any fun if the village can connect so easily.

    Fix this as you see fit OR justify your position on the matter and then we can move forward. Forgive me if the hax rates were mentioned before and I missed it.

    Oh my god it's like you're looking at me reading this. o_______o;;

    I tried to give some PRs some hax, like Hamm, just so his job of being a mayor wasn't so boring; same for the villagers. This is no problem to edit, though, as it would make it easy for Hamm to find Jessie, who can then in return connect to woody, and can give Boo's role to Woody, etc.

    SO.

    Hamm, Aliens/BoPeep, and Dug all have lowered hax rates. :D

    Thanks Oh So Shoddy for terrifying me and yet making me happy in one post.

    I'll approve this because Pixar makes the best movies evar. Coded pretty well too. Simple, yet interesting.

    I'm on the verge of approving right now but Finding Nemo mafia seems slightly UP. Then again you never know how convert affects the game. I definitely like the amusing descriptions and well Pixar movies ;)

    Well every other night, Bruce can get another member for his team, and it could possibly cripple the village if he gets a good snipe at a PR. At the same time, he could hit Eve or Merida, and that gives the village an easier time. It's kind of a pull and take. If/Once this gets approved and uploaded, I'll be sure to see how the Finding Nemo mafia plays out in big games, and from there we can decide the appropriate course of action on making them balanced.

    Yeah, convert is quite the fickle command. I remember back when I submitted WWII all the MAs said Axis was going to be underpowered. And we all know how that turned out.

    Bump bump!

    I'll be expecting an update with some characters from Cars soon after. I won't bother getting into how they got left out the original >_<

    So, I was playing Pixar today, and got Bullseye. And it made me have a thought.

    Why does Bullseye appear before Merida?

    If anything, Bullseye is a DETRIMENT to the town if there's no Merida, so it seems highly strange that he'd be in without a Merida. Just my 2 cents.

    Hmm. I didn't realize I had set it up like this; I'll be sure to fix this in the next update, in which I'm gonna try to make the theme more entertaining overall. Thanks for pointing this out!

    I think the Mafia needs a lot of luck to win. Village are extremely OP and Mafia are very UP as well.

    Something else I noticed: is it just me, or do the Army Men have a full vote each? I know they're supposed to have 0.5, but the code looks like they just have the regular 1.

    That is a good catch. They do have a full vote. At least in the pastebin they do, which is what is uploaded.

    This has been removed from the server and moved here both because it was not up to snuff with the quality of stuff on the server and the author has not been on the server since November. If someone wants to take over this theme then resubmit it or just post ideas about ways to improve it then feel free to do so.

    As I was the first to approve this for an obviously biased reason, I feel like it is my responsibility to fix it.

    I might work on this intermittently fo the next month. Or two.
