Well, there's nothing to win really.
It's just that your example was way off:
"There are a lot colors in this picture of a crowd. This means it's ok to have loads of colors for a single character."
It's just a flawed argument. There's no rhyme or reason to it. I hope you won't think I'm agressive for saying this.
Whatever, you won. Please stop the passive-agressive, it's annoying.
Well, considering your position, I wouldn't want to get into that debate either 
.
Yes, but what I'm trying to say is that a good pixelart doesn't necessary must have a reduced color palette. We don't share the same opinion, I'm ok with that.
Don't want to get into a debate.
You do realize that the reason why this image has a lot of colors is because it contains many different elements with their own colors, which is not the case here, right?
Dude... I thought you were more open-minded. Look at this for example.
I couldn't think of a statement I could disagree more than this one. 
IMO Doesn't matter if there are a lot of colours, as long as you make a good use of them.
Nice work marsonite.
Yes, there are a lot of colours; that's why 'hi-colour' is in the title.
Pixel art isn't about how many colors you use, it's about placing each one purposefully, which it looks like you did. Nice work, despite the haters!
