Conundrum - Reddit Pony of Confusion!

Caught in the act!

Okay, this one might take some explanation. For those of you who may not know, the FIM community over on reddit has for years employed several mascots who are a sort of hybrid between G4 ponies and reddit's little alien, "Snoo". The first of these, Karma and Discentia, were introduced on April 8, 2011, by monkeyjay (/u/monkeyjay). These obviously were the representatives of upvotes and downvotes respectively. Then in August, /u/Hackey_Sack (undergroundmonorail) used a pony creator to make a first draft of a non-vote pony, who was christened in November as "Apathia", and saw further development a couple days later by Gapmeister (Gapmeister) and orangel8989 (/u/OrangeL). So much for Reddit Pony history lessons!

Somewhat more recently, there was a bit of an uproar on reddit when RES broke thanks to some shenanigans perpetrated by the reddit admins. The gist of the issue was that the much-loved individual vote tallies, fuzzed and inaccurate as they were in larger subreddits, were now going to be hidden altogether for all links, self-posts, and comments. To make long story short, the idea for a reddit pony based on utter vote confusion gradually began to take shape in my head because of that. Somewhere along the lines, he became a stallion, mostly because hey, we have three mares already.

So, I present Conundrum, patron mascot of vote obfuscation and indecision! Sorry for all the links.
