event-general

[quartz locust]

Ice, because you're cool. 😄

[weary pagoda]

(I can assure you my reasoning actually makes full sense. When you're in my head at least )

[dawn ivy]

Now me

[weary pagoda]

Vaporeon ;)

(I don't know you as well as I know Katten unfortunately lol)

[teal grove]

I woulda guessed oshawott

[weary pagoda]

(well she said herself it didn't really match )

[dawn ivy]

fair

[honest tulip]

What’s the reasoning thou

[vivid sonnet]

Ya still doing Pokemon assigns :0

[weary pagoda]

(to keep it short: I base it off personality, artstyle, personal life, behaviour, etc)

though I realised I could have also just picked Meowth without elaborating further

[dawn ivy]

Purrloin

[quartz locust]

Ooh, do me next! 🙂

[hollow gull]

Hey @dawn ivy you said my Palkia/Electrode needed cleaning up? Now that it's out of the running do you think I could open up the thread for it and like help me figure it out?

[dawn ivy]

of course

im a bit tired so i might help tmorrow or after that

[hollow gull]

Ok understandable

[grand tusk]

you're a Morelull

[hollow gull]

What me

[grand tusk]

Graveller only because it's the closest thing to your new pfp

[hollow gull]

Lmao

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/scream-toad-super-mario-shookt-panic-gif-8010651

[weary pagoda]

I really do think Togekiss suits you well haha
but I could make a more thorough guess for Katten because she's likely the person I know best here

[rain stump]

polteageist

[grand tusk]

Wisp, you're an Igglybuff

[misty acorn]

Who am I?

And Togepi is banned

🔫

[grand tusk]

Venipede

[misty acorn]

Somehow I feel like I should be offended by that

[grand tusk]

I can give you my reasoning if you want

[zinc lion]

who'm

[formal river]

Smolive cause tomato + olive is a good salad :v

[grand tusk]

I also thought tomato and then just used a random pokemon generator until it gave me a small reddish mon

fate decides the pokemon based on minimal arbitrary requirements

[thin dove]

i wonder what pokemon i'd be

[grand tusk]

want me to check?

[grand tusk]

Can you, someone who has made themselves a starter, get it...

on a mystery dungeon quiz?

You send a postcard to a friend. What exciting news do you have to share?

[thin dove]

oh this definitely depends on the version

exciting news from my TTRPG games

[grand tusk]

won a Contest, visited a neat museum, explored a new trail, made a new friend, took a spa day

answer

no looking things up

if you cheat this it means nothing

[thin dove]

made a new friend (i might be spotty in replies because I actually am in a TTRPG game atm lmao)

[grand tusk]

ok

[grand tusk]

What do you value most?

adventure, relaxation, knowledge, friends/family, competition

[thin dove]

ahh, the amount of times I'd just want to put "yes" in these quizzes. Going with my gut though, gravitated to adventure first and friends/family second

[grand tusk]

alrighty

[grand tusk]

Where would you go for your dream vacation?

Historical site, hot springs, theme park, oceanside, garden

[thin dove]

theme park

historical site second

[grand tusk]

How would your friends describe you?

Friendly, passionate, resourceful, adventurous, cool

[thin dove]

the fun part is i don't know the answer to this question

[grand tusk]

think about it

take your time

[thin dove]

probably passionate and hopefully friendly

[grand tusk]

What's your favorite snack?

sour gummies, chips & salsa, blueberries, smoothies, choco chip cookies

[thin dove]

oh damn sour gummies all the way

[grand tusk]

true

so true

[thin dove]

give me a buncha Sweet Tarts and I am so so happy

[grand tusk]

last one

What's one thing you can’t leave the house without?

my glasses, my smile, my backpack, my headphones, my sneakers

[thin dove]

there's a technically correct answer to this and the answer i should probably pick lol
my backpack

but also my headphones come to think of it hmm

[grand tusk]

oh you changing answer?

tell me final answer

[grand tusk]

backpack or headphones, this is the final question, choose wisely

[thin dove]

gut says backpack because I can store headphones + a ton of other useful stuff in there

[grand tusk]

alrighty

well then, you ready Totodile?

OR SHOULD I SAY, PIKACHU?!?

[thin dove]

holy shit lmadlmadslkfajsdof

it's never the same one a different pokemon comes to me every game

me, thinking: oh yeah i think i'm hitting some Brave answers so i might get Charmander actually
game: PIKACHU

[grand tusk]

the answers dont lie

you're a pikachu

you're living a lie

change that name and profile

[thin dove]

can't do it right now cuz i'm in a game but i'll give myself a lil' pikachu hat

now i'm wondering which game the quiz came from, i thought it was Super but I actually don't recognize those questions when i looked them up on the wiki

[grand tusk]

[thin dove]

i got intrigued at what i'd hit if i tried running another one because like i said results get varied super quickly
got Brave (like I thought I might get)
but then it called me a Bulbasaur for it and just
what?

[zinc lion]

What pokemon would I be

Answer is pretty obvious if you look at my name

[plucky arch]

i already know what pokemon id be

[thin dove]

the gerbil pokemon

[thin dove]

they're never consistent, I've gotten 3 separate pokemon now

[thin dove]

ok after throwing myself at quizzes multiple times i might have some small dataset range

got pikachu and charmander twice, got Bulbasaur twice (only in super related quizzes it seems??? no clue what's up with that), got Totodile/Eevee from the Sky quiz and tweaking answers to secondary threw me right back into Pikachu/Charmander territory

[quartz locust]

Although the Cave of Dragonflies one is really good. I get Togetic very consistently on that one, which is surprisingly accurate to Skel's guess. 😂

[wind matrix]

I know what pokemon I am. I'm pyukumuku

[quartz locust]

I could see that, honestly. 🙂

[echo crow]

I think I'd probably be Poochyena?

[crystal hill]

mankind knew that they cannot change society, so instead of reflecting upon themselves they blamed the beasts
but they found beauty in the lives of beasts, and could not lie to themselves about it

sorry I was just listening to the guilty gear soundtrack, usually I stop myself from quoting random songs when someone says something that is also a song lyric

anyways, I'm not on the server long enough for others to decided what pokemon I am nor to decided for others so I'll just go ahead and say I'm probably slowbro

and for you based on your pfp and the zoolander gif I'm gonna just go ahead with a wild guess and say you're Hisuian Zorua

[inland pollen]

Is pollpitoad busy rn? I can't vote, and in this hours, i think it shouldn't be?

No matter how i try, i can't

[quartz locust]

There isn't a poll right now, the existing ones are closed. 🙂

[inland pollen]

The new ones on #dex-entries-submissions are closed?

[quartz locust]

Oh, not those, no. They're just a little broken. 😦

[inland pollen]

Oh, i see, thx for the response

(That explains why i can't vote on them)

[inland pollen]

Well, hope they get fixed before the mods decide to close it...

[lusty pewter]

I'm looking forward to the sprite pack, I want to know if my sprite that I posted get to be main alt

it's such a novel then to be looking forward to but this is my 1st time getting a sprite in there so am excited :3

[hollow gull]

Same

[short dirge]

The one I thought was the best entry got like 3 votes

I’m surprised

[limber venture]

If it didn't have special effects that's why

Also if it wasn't a woman

[wind matrix]

excuse me, but gardivior and lopunny aren't women by default

[limber venture]

You tell that to everybody who's ever voted for a gardevoir or lopunny fusion.

[wind matrix]

I personally like effeminate men

[grand tusk]

"and so I still vote gardevoir/lopunny, I just vote for a different yet same reason as the rest"

[tawdry oak]

Gallate is a male tho so people that like gallade in a sus way are all good

But also… Sallazle and Vespiquen

[tawdry oak]

Just like females

[grand tusk]

also "gardivior"

[wind matrix]

spelling is hard

[tawdry oak]

you are way older than me...

I spell thing betar tharn yow

[wind matrix]

age doesn't make you a better speller

[tawdry oak]

It sholder

shod*

Shild

[wind matrix]

[tawdry oak]

I don't drink

[wind matrix]

[tawdry oak]

I can in two years If I want to

[wind matrix]

dang, low drinking age

[tawdry oak]

Perks of New Zealand

[wind matrix]

It's 21 here lol

[tawdry oak]

I know

[wind matrix]

lol

[tawdry oak]

Big L

[grand tusk]

Do I wanna drink right now?

eeeeeeh

[wind matrix]

it's only wednsday

[tawdry oak]

I've injested Alcohol before I don't like it

[limber venture]

I have been able to drink in my home since I was like 2

Just britain things

[grand tusk]

see I dont have to drive tomorrow morning

[wind matrix]

sounds british

[grand tusk]

I could drink with 0 consequence

[limber venture]

Bonz you should drink and sprite

[tawdry oak]

I don't go to school tomorrow

more spriting for me

[wind matrix]

you'd still gain calories

[grand tusk]

it wouldn't make a difference lets be honest

[tawdry oak]

I drink the best thing ever

its called what-or

and it has no sugars

and no additional flavours

[wind matrix]

🤔

sounds sus

[tawdry oak]

what-or 🚰

[fierce ingot]

So where again can I find the rules for submitting a sprite for the game again. I read it but my memory is dog water.

[lusty pewter]

#spriting-guidelines

[fierce ingot]

got it. I was not far enough down it. ty

[warm mesa]

just had a dream where contest voting was like the Favorite Pokemon Picker and somehow i think it might actually work

[crystal hill]

seems like a lot of work to set up tho

anyways I will use this as an excuse to post my pokemon tier list

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/313519884115902467/1059417999062347836/pokemon_tier_list.jpg

since you know, favourite picker, kinda like a tier list thing

you gotta open it in browser and zoom if you wanna see anything

which you probably don't because a stranger on the internet's pokemon tier list is not that interesting

only the top and bottom tier are ordered

[teal grove]

Volcarona not high enough

[crystal hill]

it's the tier below the top one

I think that's high enough

slither wing might actually move up if I make it again

since I've been using it in VGC and it's a really fun mon

[misty acorn]

Based Orichorio enjoyer

[crystal hill]

I'm interested in evolutionary ecology (as in I have recently competed my major in ecology and am following evolution courses rn)

and it's the darwin finch pokemon

I'm easy to please with that

[grand tusk]

another dunsparce sheep putting that ugly thing in the highest tier

😔

I will forgive because i see toedscool and joltik up there too

[zinc lion]

this is a loooong tier list

[grand tusk]

I'm reminded I was doing a top 100 favorite pokemon list, I should finish it

[tawdry oak]

say yes if you think I should become the next Contest Manager

[ivory olive]

yes

[tawdry oak]

[ivory olive]

I already agreed with that anyways

[tawdry oak]

oh yeah

I still want the job

just Gamr, Skel and Katten won't giv it to me

[limber venture]

No

[ivory olive]

well they're Mods and managers themselves, and while I do think you'd make a good one, I think you should listen to them, constantly trying to go against them just makes them justified in not giving it to you. maybe try to contribute in other ways, like start taking requests or something

[tawdry oak]

yeah I know its just annoying because I really wanted this job.

[ivory olive]

it's ok man, but listen, you might not get the exact job you want, but you can always aspire to work in that company or project in a different role, it's always good to aim for your goals, but don't throw shit at the wall that won't stick

[tawdry oak]

I could just not throw shit at the walls

[ivory olive]

you know what I meant claws

[tawdry oak]

I could polish them or give them a new paint job. But they don't want that from me

[grand tusk]

I think if I made a serious application they would laugh at me about it ngl

[crystal hill]

dunsparce being ugly is not a bug it's a feature

[grand tusk]

yeah and it's biggest feature is being a waste of the pokedex

its so lame people try to make magikarp 2.0 out of its evolutions

dundunsparce was so good as an evolution ngl

[ivory olive]

listen man, you're a good guy, and you could do a lot with your skills, but if they say no, that's kind of it, but shoot for the other jobs, be the best spriter you can be, produce the best sprites, just don't keep trying at something impossible

[thick jolt]

bonz out here with the audacity to diss dunsparce hes so perfect hes just a little yellow boi

granted id have him in like

[grand tusk]

dunsparce fans are a cult lmao

[thick jolt]

the 3rd tier

[limber venture]

Dissing dunsparce while liking rhyperior btw

[grand tusk]

I think it's fair people don't like rhyperior when its so different from rhydon

I still think it's cool

[hollow gull]

It is not cool

[thick jolt]

rhyperior always reminded me of digimon for some weird reason

[hollow gull]

Digis nuts

[grand tusk]

It's not like rhyperior hate will affect me, I mean pincurchin is in my top 5 favorites

I'm kinda immune to people dissing my favs when I've seen responses to that

[tawdry oak]

Yeah I get it. They don't want to bend the rules for me because less intelligent younger people will start to try and apply and be shitty cause it would be like " You let him in why not me? " but yeah I just wanted to be able to spread my Ideas and show people that I may be 14 but I'm not a little kid.

[ivory olive]

I feel that, age is constantly a touchy subject for competency, but if the rule says no, not much else you could do bud

[limber venture]

There are so so so so so many fourteen year olds out there who would say the exact same thing

Sorry, but at 14 I also thought I was incredibly mature

No 14 year old is

[tawdry oak]

👍

[tawdry oak]

So right but also incredibly wrong

there maybe some

I might not be

[ivory olive]

listen man, I don't want you to feel bad, I just want you to keep expectations in check, and stay in places you can excel

[tawdry oak]

but there is

[limber venture]

Quite literally, you will understand when you're older

[tawdry oak]

I excel in things I like and Practice.

[grand tusk]

take it from the grandpas who aren't children anymore

you will always be dumb, and thats the first step to being mature

maturity is just knowing the best ways to hide being dumb

[tawdry oak]

Thats not correct the first step to being mature is probably by making the right decisions... like for me knowing when to stop

or backdown

[grand tusk]

and yet here you are

failing that step

[tawdry oak]

yep.

I'ma go sprite

[plucky arch]

a lil tip, as someone whos had experience in stuff like this, both the recruiting and the being recruited, complaining about not getting smth, is not exactly the best way to get said thing

[quartz locust]

Also, it's not an age thing. Katten became a mod here at a relatively young age. We just didn't have a lot of roles to give out at the time; it might change in the future if the server continues to expand, it might not. But yeah, being a bit too belligerent can do you more harm than good when it comes to trying to get a role. Wait until the time's right. 🙂

I kinda just applied for Mod expecting not to get it, for example. Don't apply for things expecting to get them and then you're all of a sudden much less caught up if the result doesn't strictly go the way you want it to. 😄

[tawdry oak]

mmm

[quartz locust]

And if you don't get the thing you want, it's not necessarily a reflection of you. It can just be the wrong time and wrong place, but the stars could potentially align in the future in your favour. You never know. 😃

[misty acorn]

☝️

[short dirge]

Age is a an arbitrary number of human invention and measurement

Which is why it’s so contentious at times

[crystal hill]

hell yeah both of my favourites are in quarters and in different pools!

[zinc lion]

surprised about one of my sprites that made it to quarters

[crude cedar]

Somehow the Bot's working hilariously perfectly

[crystal hill]

which one is yours?

[torn dawn]

I am surprised that one of my faves which also got a lot of votes isn't in the quarters

[zinc lion]

not sure if saying what it is would break rule 7 or not

but it's the rayquaza one

[crystal hill]

I mean it's public info I can find out

[torn dawn]

like "it won a whole bracket as first place" many votes

[zinc lion]

it got 5th place in it's poll so i'm very curious how it made it past preliminaries

first places jump immediately into semis afaik

[torn dawn]

ahhh thank you

[smoky hazel]

I. can't find where the polls are happening or I can't see them, if they're in contest polls I can't see the messages

[zinc lion]

try refreshing?

[torn dawn]

it's my first time contest voting

[crystal hill]

no it got 4th

[smoky hazel]

there we go ;v

[crystal hill]

wait that does seem weird, there's 26 sprites in now, from 13 polls before

is there a difference between public results and actual results or something?

[zinc lion]

i don't think so? all votes are public

but yeah it's weird that a 4th place made it through

[crystal hill]

the first place from that pool did not...

[zinc lion]

first places move on to semis i think

someone can correct me on that

[crystal hill]

oh

yeah no that's right

sorry

[zinc lion]

basing it off the previous contest

no, you're fine. i was confused too lol

[crystal hill]

3rd place is out tho, maybe something wrong with that one lead to you getting the placement instead

or does it just work different?

ok other 4th places are in as well

[zinc lion]

we'll have to wait until a mod explains lol i have no clue

[crystal hill]

and 3rd places not

so I don't get the system but I do think this is intended at least

[zinc lion]

my steelix got 2nd place and it's in quarters

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[crystal hill]

yeah it seems to be 2nd and 4th place

[cedar quest]

That's not in quarters, that's in my semis folder

Ray got 1st

[crystal hill]

I think he means the ray in the jar

[zinc lion]

oh i was talking about the other ray one lol. that one got 4th

i hope that wasn't a mistake, hate to be responsible for the quarters needing to be restarted

[cedar quest]

Oh, I've never done 4th places

Certainly not starting now

[crystal hill]

oh but 4th place of this pool also is in is it not? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/709856008163426364/1081348343395012648/Sheet286.png?width=1014&height=676

A1 got 4th and it's in the quarters

and the one we were talking about is C2 of this one
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/709856008163426364/1081348119964434534/Sheet279.png?width=1014&height=676

which is also in quarters and got 4th

so I assumed this was an intentional thing seeing as both polls I checked it was the case

and in both the 3rd place was not in the quarters

[wind matrix]

rip polls, GamR was warned against pinging people

[zinc lion]

i'll take a w wherever i can but i feel bad for the 3rd place winner

[grand tusk]

the polls worked perfectly for me

[crystal hill]

yeah the problem is they may have put the wrong sprites in there

which would be an issue

[wind matrix]

I'm not even gonna try right now lol

[grand tusk]

try

[dull crater]

Polls just worked for me

[grand tusk]

i bet it'll work

my theory is that it wasn't based on the number of people voting

but the number of polls happening at once

[wind matrix]

im busy eating an orange

[limber venture]

Mine worked

[crystal hill]

yeah that would make a lot of sense

[limber venture]

Is it a good orange thorns

[wind matrix]

fun fact, this orange tastes terrible

[limber venture]

I had a really good orange earlier today, was life changing

[grand tusk]

rezza, i dont think it was a good orange

[limber venture]

Ah, sucks to be you then

[wind matrix]

[zinc lion]

i have oranges at home come by

[grand tusk]

my day is bad too, I try playing tainted Eden for the last check I needed

im a fan of random but tainted eden is a bit too much

[wind matrix]

I have an orange tree lol, think I picked this one too early

[limber venture]

Gonna go have one of my really nice oranges

[grand tusk]

health goes wild, items go wild, ugh

[crystal hill]

@cedar quest was this an accident? or do I just not get the system?

I'll just check if it holds true for other polls

[zinc lion]

the third place winners just go to semis

easy peasy

[crystal hill]

ah yeah that makes perfect sense

it does not hold true for other polls btw

polls 1 the 3rd place is in

[wind matrix]

Only GamR understands the system

[crystal hill]

so I do think a mistake was made, just in the two polls I checked

or something is wrong with how the scores are displayed for me or something

[limber venture]

Now we gotta wait another week for contest polls smh /j

[wind matrix]

I ate half of this orange an I really don't wanna finish it

[limber venture]

Can I have it

[tall moss]

no me

[limber venture]

F u kiwi I want it

[wind matrix]

sure, come to my house to get it

[tall moss]

no i get fruit privileges

[limber venture]

But I asked first

[wind matrix]

first one to my house gets it

[buoyant bough]

one of the polls in the first round had an extra mon, one of the polls in this round has an extra as ell, maybe that's where the confusion is coming from? (mons seem to have been shuffled from their original sheets too)

[wind matrix]

ell

[buoyant bough]

(that was in response to Lonk btw not me finding fault with the polls)

[zinc lion]

contests are now monthly

actually wouldn't mind that ngl, these past two contests have taken a big toll on my motivation

[crystal hill]

alright this poll also seems to have the 4th in rather than the third https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/709856008163426364/1081348260440047646/Sheet283.png?width=1014&height=676

was one point difference between the two, but C3 should be in rather than B5

[wind matrix]

I sucessfully voted

[zinc lion]

only gamr understands the master game plan for the third placers

[wind matrix]

if it's that close, then it might have just been jumped up to the finals

[zinc lion]

2nd places are in the quarters though

[wind matrix]

I dunno then

[crystal hill]

seems to only be those 3 polls

the other 10 3rd and 2nd are in

those 3 it's 4th and 2nd instead

so that's

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/709856008163426364/1081348260440047646/Sheet283.png?width=1014&height=676
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/709856008163426364/1081348119964434534/Sheet279.png?width=1014&height=676

might be good for someone else to double check these all

and if I missed something

sorry this is not my job

I'm probably being pretty annoying rn

[cedar quest]

I think I see where some of the confusion is coming from

So, I was gonna keep this anon, but

[crystal hill]

oh

yeah that's fair, was presumptuous of me to just go and make such a big deal out of this before you could just say "yeah it's intentional" or something

sorry, shouldn't have put you in a position you felt forced to share DMs

is that the reason for all 3?

[zinc lion]

i assume so yeah

[hollow gull]

? One of my fusions got like 50 votes but didn't get past first round

Am I doing a stupid

[crystal hill]

which one?

[zinc lion]

rush getting third place with all of his submissions is pretty coincidental lol

did it get first place?

[crystal hill]

wait if it got first it moved a round ahead

[cedar quest]

This is Quarters

[hollow gull]

Ah I see

[cedar quest]

Semis is next

[hollow gull]

Apologies

[cedar quest]

ye

[hollow gull]

Thanks for the info

Hope you're doing well Gamr

[cedar quest]

I'm doin' well enough

[hollow gull]

Sorry bout all the stress, we're having a lot of fun with the contest

[crystal hill]

anyways, there's so many good god damn sprites in this contest

[hollow gull]

Ikr?

I'm hella hype for the competition

Feels great to go up against bros

[crystal hill]

like I have my favourites of course but honestly most of these I'd love to see win

[buoyant bough]

i had a lot of fun with my entries, and it's my first contest so it's been nice to be a part of c:

[hollow gull]

Excited to see how hard rezza LOSES

[crystal hill]

I don't know people here well, I'm just excited to see what wins

[limber venture]

I already lost, wyag

[crystal hill]

and he's excited for that fact

[limber venture]

:<

[wind matrix]

poor Rezza

[grand tusk]

deserved

rip bozo

[crystal hill]

anyways, I know I'm not allowed to mention specific sprites, so I won't

but you all should vote for the ones I voted for

you'll know them by the fact they're really cool

[wind matrix]

lol

[grand tusk]

no screw that I voted for the ones I like instead

[hollow gull]

Vote for the sprites I HATE

I wanna be ENRAGED at the results

[limber venture]

Vote for my sprites

I made all of them

So it doesn't matter what you vote for

[wind matrix]

Vote for Kiwi's sprites

[crystal hill]

how many per pool move on here btw?

[wind matrix]

one vote per poll

(I think thats what your asking)

[crystal hill]

it might be?

[short dirge]

I’m still impressed the ones that were generally the best imo didn’t get like any votes

[crystal hill]

I'm asking out of the sprites in quarter finals how many go to semi finals

[wind matrix]

oh, I have no idea lol

[crystal hill]

my third favourite got like 2 votes

luckily my 1st and 2nd favourite both did go on to the next round

ok if I understand correctly top 2 of each pool move on this round

if it's the same as the fantasy contest

which was earlier this year so it should still be the same

[molten crater]

oh wow I actually got past the preliminaries

[barren abyss]

How do contenst-polls work?

[plucky arch]

wow we gotta get a Yanmega reaction for this

[short dirge]

Hey how do contest polls work

What’s a contest poll

Also how do they work

[limber venture]

Idk

[limber venture]

[limber venture]

[thin dove]

they said quarters are up but i'm not seeing em

[zinc lion]

[plucky arch]

7️⃣

[hollow gull]

Rule 7 but yea it's badass bestie

[slow gyro]

I didn’t saw the rules before, sorry

Btw, good luck to everyone :DD

[lusty pewter]

gl to you too

[mortal storm]

I think most of the sprites actually were/are really cool again and surprisingly it seems that I had kind of a common taste for round 1 haha.
Loved the effort of all spriters like always. ^_^

[autumn epoch]

Never participated in a contest before, super happy to make it to prelims 😄 All of the sprites are amazing.

[teal grove]

First time im looking at the results of last round and wow

I was not expecting some of those results

[short dirge]

Yeah the results are a complete grab bag of random outcomes lol

[teal grove]

Hello senko

[short dirge]

Huskenko

[lusty pewter]

Rivieruskenko

[teal grove]

Vixtarivieruskenko

And you havent even seen the bad joke i made in spriter general

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Like the movie

It funny

Also im cancelling our agreement

The bet on the klinklanklontest

Because exactly a year after the day we made the agreement on id probably have exams, in which case i wouldnt be able to fulfill my part of the deal if we dont get a klinklanklontest

Im also not certain anymore if i even still want a klinklanklontest

Because at the rate contests are going we'd probably just get a bunch of people pasting klinklang assets onto mons, and not high-quality stuff

Not like you can put a lot of special effects on most klinklang heads, which are the ones team klinklang focuses on

[silver merlin]

whats the thing wrong with special effects anyways, obv a theme with revival will have a lot of sprites with special effects lol

[teal grove]

If i elaborated id get shafted by blaq for breaking rule 7

Also nice new pfp kat

[silver merlin]

dm me then, and lets not continue here i recon

ye ty skeln nailed it

i now have

drip

[hollow gull]

We don't want them?

I want sfx

They're fun

• tiny fish are a special effect

[quartz locust]

I don't think that's very nice or fair, you can't gatekeep newcomers. 😦

[teal grove]

Im not gatekeeping anyone

Cant gatekeep for a contest that doesn’t exist

[quartz locust]

You're making disparaging comments about what newer sprites would do if they started working on the sprites. You were gatekeeping, and pretty blatantly at that. Take some accountability for once, Husk. 😅

[honest tulip]

U can give feedback when they post to #1050404143807873157 ||and jus flame them for the lols||

[quartz locust]

Nobody just flames anyone for the lols. 😢

People get banned from this server for that sort of behaviour.

Not the GIF posting, the flaming people.

[plucky arch]

hot take: just because some people are bad doesnt excuse it

bad as in mean

not bad as in spriting

realized as soon as i said that it could be taken that way

[teal grove]

That's not a hot take

That's common sense

[honest tulip]

So… we wet them unleash the miltank fusions

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/no-please-no-god-no-stop-please-stop-gif-17190431

[normal oyster]

The first rounds filters those sprites out anyway

[honest tulip]

The copy pasting ones?

[teal grove]

Oi mango

When are you gonna do a klinklang head fusion

[hollow gull]

Technically speaking my Corsola fusion was mostly copy/paste

[normal oyster]

sometimes it works

most of the time it looks a lil strange

[normal oyster]

idk when?

[hollow gull]

Well it was copy-paste with a fuckton of work

[normal oyster]

understandable

[teal grove]

tomorrow

[hollow gull]

Imagine not using #1051343819314053160

[normal oyster]

Request me klinklang/kyogre

[teal grove]

done

[normal oyster]

Ok after i finish my 2 other requests i do it

[teal grove]

just check out #1077337957717000263 for unclaimed klinklangs

[winter wraith]

What do you'll think the next theme is ?

I think...
Amusement Park theme

[inner pivot]

Noooo not after I JUST made clown meganium

[chilly sleet]

Time for clown meganium…2

This time you’re the clown

Not enough arguments passed, we need to start more discussions and drama

[honest tulip]

Discussion: we shld get more holiday theme contest rather than random one word theme contest (thou can’t deny having a story plot is nice)

[teal grove]

Holiday is one word though

Christmas contest, easter contest, new-year contest

[honest tulip]

Yea those

[teal grove]

If i become CM i will consider your opinion

[honest tulip]

Even if there is holiday theme contest, I’ll probably not participate

What if like classic contest, theme contest gets a poll to vote out of 5 themes?

I’ll suggest whatever there is to make CM’s life harder

[cedar quest]

Quite simply...holiday contest boring

[teal grove]

I agree

Easter contest would just be 50 eggs and 20 bunnies

I have a better idea for a themed contest

Robots

Definitely not a ploy to get klinklang sprites

[lusty pewter]

genesect & magnezone fusion only sprites lez go

[teal grove]

Technically golurk would be allowed too

[dusk schooner]

Do you consider robots and golems as the same thing, or no

[teal grove]

I do not

But considering golurk's lore it's basically an ancient robot

Golems dont have a power source, but golurk does

and it breaks the laws of physics

Fun fact, the only way golurk can work without breaking the laws of physics is if the ancient people that built them somehow managed to put miniature stars in them

[dusk schooner]

The fact he's a ghost type, I think it's just magic

[lusty pewter]

if you squint hard enough you could say golems are basically just magical robots, using magic and sorcery to move instead of using gears and bulbs

[teal grove]

Vixtar's got the right idea

[deft kite]

Type contest? Would still get lots of variety imo

[teal grove]

Monotype steel contest

For logic's sake the fusion doesnt have to be steel type, but one of the mons needs to be steel type

Since fusions' typings can get wacky

[tawdry oak]

I'd rather use the fusion typing cas its cooler

but yeah that works

I WANT STEEL TYPE

also hi Husk!

[teal grove]

Hi claws

I have once again done the thing where i make a really fucking good sprite but after the contest submissions end

[deft kite]

I like it more where the fusion has to be of that type

Means people have to do their research or they get disqualified 😈

Less competition more chance for me to at least make it past the first round 😈

[teal grove]

See that makes klinklang a safe choice

Monosteel means steel type always gets carried over

(And ig steelix does that too)

[deft kite]

Yeah ig

So we do fighting type instead 😈

[tawdry oak]

oof

[teal grove]

One day ill get it right

[tawdry oak]

Mankey Line, Tyrogue Line, Machop Line, Riolu are all good for that

there is probably more

mono fighting

Bug could also Fun

fun bug combos

[deft kite]

Yeah see

Type contest would be cool with some types

Unless you want to push klingklangs that’d work too

[teal grove]

So steel type

[deft kite]

Quadrupedal only

None of that standing up stuff

That would be nice tournament

Bipedal pokemon on all fours custom base contest

Amazing godliest you’re a genius

https://tenor.com/view/bowing-thank-you-tom-and-jerry-take-a-bow-chasing-gif-20784169

[signal reef]

Would need people to actually respect the theme. Current contest doesn't make any sense

[crisp cargo]

i didn't enter because I knew it was gonna be a mess well more because I couldn't figure out anything that could fit but eh

[hollow gull]

_ _

[teal grove]

_ _

[crystal hill]

hey everything I voted except for this is through

kinda sad about it being out, it's not the most impressive art but the concept is really neat and well executed

one of the most fun takes on the theme

[zinc lion]

Do 2nd places move on to semis or just the first places?

[lusty pewter]

I feel like only 1st, since we have 13 sprites from the 1st poll, if we take 5 from 2nd we have an even 18 on 3rd poll. but idk

either way tho, neither of my sprite that enter preliminaries will pass considering they got the least amount of vote in their group :(

[teal grove]

_ _

I like that

[inner pivot]

AWESOME idea, I love it

[inner pivot]

I think the intentional vagueness of this contest’s theme is why there’s so much variety in submissions, not that anyone was trying to ignore the theme

“Rebirth” can mean a lot of things and is totally up to interpretation

[crystal hill]

unless they changed it

this was from the fantasy contest

[misty acorn]

They're experimenting with the rules rn, so it might be different

[short dirge]

So no one knows

[deft kite]

Nobody read the very cool story GamR made that’s the problem

[inner pivot]

I don’t think that’s true, they themselves say “you can interpret the single-word theme however you’d like”

It’s a great story but not necessarily what we needed to go off of for submissions

[fading lodge]

I, for one, made a little bubble.

[cedar quest]

Exactly. If you limit what people can interpret as the theme, it makes it 10x less fun

Hell, ain't no reason to be picky. Not like you're getting another one for a while after this one

[limber venture]

There will be daily contests when i am promoted of course

[odd garnet]

1 hour contest speedrun

[deft kite]

you have 23 minutes

[fierce ingot]

So relatively new to all this but how do contest work?

[wind matrix]

Basically GamR trolls us a lot, and we act like winy children

[fierce ingot]

ok.

[quartz locust]

I see the versatility as a good thing. 🙂

[crystal hill]

I also think that almost all of them do make sense, in this round there's 3 I don't see how they fit the theme, one of which I think is a reference I don't get

[quartz locust]

And even the ones you don't personally think make sense might actually make sense to other people. 😄

Gatekeeping isn't what these contests are about, they're meant to be fun ways to chill out and a motivation for making sprites. 🙂

[lusty pewter]

one of my sprite is design from an obscure reference, so maybe it's one of the 3 you don't see fitting the theme

[crystal hill]

I saw your post about klinlang and rampardos being a reference, but I also feel like a robo dinosaur standing on the overgrown remains of a regular dinosaur fits the theme even without the reference

[quartz locust]

The last part goes against Rule 7. 😛

[crystal hill]

oh I thought it already lost

since the poll has happened and it got last in that poll

do we need to wait for the next poll to absolutely confirm that it's out before we can talk about sprites?

[quartz locust]

Oh no, you were right. I just didn't check. My bad. 😂

[lusty pewter]

yeah, me sad it lost

imo it's the most perfect one since the inspiration also include a story that suggest an apocalypse and overgrown, the two previous theme contest. too bad the sprite itself isn't good enough to win doe :(

[crystal hill]

It could've definitely been good enough to get to the next round at least, there's just way too many good submissions

it's an amazingly cool sprite, there's just a ton of those in this

[lusty pewter]

that makes me less confident for the next poll...

[crystal hill]

do you have a sprite moving on?

[lusty pewter]

1 of the sprite on the 1st poll got 1st, so (if I'm right) it goes to semi already... I think

idk iirc someone said on 1st poll, 1st get to go to semis while 2nd and 3rd goes to quarters

[quartz locust]

That's how it works, yeah. 🙂

[lusty pewter]

yeah, so I have 1 sprite left in the race... which is so unfortunate since the 2 other sprite made it preliminaries but neither pass

I'm real nervous

this is my 1st contest and it's going well so far so... I'm both having high hopes but at the same time doubt I can win

[crystal hill]

I mean, just having a sprite go to semis is pretty impressive

the sprites in these polls are some of the best

[lusty pewter]

yeah that's fair enough, ig being included in that group is pretty good already

[crystal hill]

I'm planning on joining the next one as my first one and my goal is just to make it to quarters

and that already seems like it'll be tough with my skill level

[lusty pewter]

I'm sure you can do it, I'll maybe join next contest cuz spriting has been more fun once I join this server

ever since in the server I'm having fun spriting from sketches, which I usually never do, either I edit pre-existing sprite or make something completely new without prior sketching.

[short dirge]

Hm

[silk bolt]

When can i sprite some kyogres for a contest

[thick jolt]

legendary contest when

[normal oyster]

Prob vote for deoxys then

[crisp cargo]

you always could

nobody's stopping you

[silk bolt]

there's no contest atm

and my mod status is restraining me from doing the "gngngn when is the next contest gngngngn"

you english people understand the gngngngn ?

[grand tusk]

blah blah blah?

[quartz locust]

Here's a contest idea: all of you make my request, I will decide a winner. 😉

[silk bolt]

not at all

[quartz locust]

No reward, you're playing for something much more valuable: pride. 😄

[grand tusk]

or just "waaaaaah boohoo" like little babby

[silk bolt]

what is it

[silk bolt]

pretty close

more like dumby than baby

but it's almost the same

[grand tusk]

durr hurr when next contest durrrrr

[silk bolt]

for me baby is more like gaagaaa

GAAAAAAAAAAA

[grand tusk]

googoo gaga

thats kinda the baby noise we use

[silk bolt]

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

thats just Dio

[grand tusk]

Can you screenshot that one more time, thanks

it'll be funnier that way

[silk bolt]

YOOO I CAN?

here is my idea
submarine creatures

[grand tusk]

my idea is more references to Bowser's inside story

We need a good Midbus

[lusty pewter]

final boss theme, make a fusion that screams "I am the last boss" vibe

[silk bolt]

dude that's neat

[quartz locust]

I meant making my Rayquaza / Torterra request. 😛

[silk bolt]

but

@untold violet is already making one

have you seen hes drawing

Jesus Christ, now that's a sketch and a half. ❤️

[limber venture]

No, gamr is just doing it when he wants to

[silk bolt]

Gamr is a busy man he don't have our time 🗿

[honest tulip]

He hates us

[quartz locust]

There's just so many more entries that it becomes a much more demanding task. Have some patience, everyone. 😢

[thin dove]

did the sprite checker google doc break?

it's giving me this:

[crystal hill]

I don't think there's many sprites for the pokemon "option 2"

oof options are all gone?

it's only that that doesn't work it seems

custom sprite checker still works so it still has the sprite database and stuff

just the options on that specific cell have died

yeah adding the options by hand does work to give you the sprites

I don't know how this has to be done on the backend but at least seems like it should be fixable

it probably references a list somewhere else and someone changed that right?

ok I just copied the drop down list from the custom sprite checker to there and that works

[silver merlin]

the more you ask the more it gets delayed lol

wait patiently, and itll come faster

[crystal hill]

wait for real? I could just destroy the entire contest by asking enough?
that's too much power to give to me, sadly with great power comes great responsibility and I still hope to be bitten by a radioactive spider someday so I won't abuse this

[quartz locust]

I wasn't asking. 😂

[quartz locust]

You'd probably get muted before that happened. 😛

[weary pagoda]

I think Katten was saying this as a followup to what you said haha

[quartz locust]

That makes much more sense. I've very tired, today. 😢

[honest tulip]

No contest allowed this point onwards, only mission u get is team completion
WhEn iS tHe NeXt CoMpEtITiOn?

[grand tusk]

They always ask "when contest" but they never ask "how is contest" 😔

[lusty pewter]

how is contest?

[crystal hill]

contest is pretty good, lots of cool sprites

[lusty pewter]

good to hear :D

[honest tulip]

Who is contest

[weary pagoda]

And we contest managers rather ask

why contests 🥲

[honest tulip]

Cuz skel’n look’n forward for that jirachi contest

[zinc lion]

That's a much better explanation than 'nah I just enjoy acting out of spite'

[crisp cargo]

it'd be easier if y'all limited it to one per person

[zinc lion]

Yeah contests I don't think is necessary anymore since the game will likely be completed in the next three years with or without contests

[honest tulip]

They were testing out a new system (or at least wanted to), so they kept the limit to 3

[honest tulip]

Contests are just for fun, and some ppl put in more effort in contest, so it’s interesting to see contest entries and maybe even to pick up a new style while observing

Wait why would you deny that as an emote but not as a sticker

[quartz locust]

Because it's too big to be an emote. 😛

[short dirge]

Then scale it back down :D

Hey look same size emotes that already exist :p

I thought it was also denied because it had a bunch of no reactions

way better as a sticker either way

[wind matrix]

I had a dream where someone made a cloud for the contest. It was a really good sprite. I was just very confused as to why there was fire ontop of the cloud. But the spriter decided not to submit it because it was too obvious that it was a cloud. So they decided to submit this really lame sprite.

Then it started storming like crazy. Which was bad because we were outside and the contest sprites were being stored in the air

[grand tusk]

the most concerning part of this is that you dream about the sprite contests

[limber venture]

I love "the contest sprites were being stored in the air" Just being completely normal

Just glossed over entirely

[quartz locust]

You could say they were stored... in the cloud. 😉

[limber venture]

https://tenor.com/view/oscars-standing-ovation-clap-clapping-applause-gif-20292436

[wind matrix]

was wondering when someone was gonna make that joke

[charred nexus]

Quick question about contests, are all of the sprites going to be in the game, just as alts or something? Or is it better to make them alts on their own if thats ok? There's tons of beautiful sprites that lost that I'd like to use and just wanted to make sure

[timid urchin]

Most participants post their sprites in the gallery as well so they will be in the game eventually

[charred nexus]

Oh that's awesome then, thank you!

And to all the people who participated, oh my gosh you all are fantastic artists

[lusty pewter]

not sure about others but if my sprite is included in your "tons of beautiful sprites that lost" then least 2 of em that I submitted for the contest is in the game as main sprite. the other 1 entry didn't make as main so it might be an alt.

[charred nexus]

Oh nice! What were your entries so I know what to look out for? I'm not sure how to find who created what but I'm just looking at all of them and freaking out cause they're so beautiful

Nevermind I found them, and yes yours are definitely included, absolutely beautiful work and so happy 2 are main sprites and that I can get the other as an alt

Honestly, looking through them all, they're all fantastic and I'm real happy to hear most people post them in the gallery as well

[lusty pewter]

I think talking about it further would count as breaking rule 7 so idk but if you look that deep into it then ig I don't need to tell you which one lol

[charred nexus]

Oop, sorry! I'm staying out of voting and stuff like that anyway, but yeah let's not talk about it further, don't want to get either of us in trouble

[odd garnet]

Contest idea

Custom base contest
Make new custom bases

[wind matrix]

already been done

Custom Base Contest 2

xD

[rare swift]

Special effects contest: make a tileset so we can slap effects on every sprite

[cloud pulsar]

Contest idea

Two pokemon contest
its only two pokemon
lets break the alt system

[dry garden]

Probably a latias latios comp would be good. Those two are kinda lacking in sprites for being mythicals? Legendary?

[lusty pewter]

Reversal fusion contest: make fusion where the fusion could arguable be both a Head A/Body B fusion and a Head B/Body A fusion

welcome to the find muck

[rare swift]

detective contest: we get a very obscure clue about which pokémon we have to use in the fusion and everybody who doesn't use the right one gets eliminated before the prelims

[odd garnet]

Ooo twists

How about one where the catch is only Sprite Managers and Mods are allowed to enter and all other entries from regular users gets removed from the polls
That sounds fun hehehe

[teal grove]

1st place contest

You only get to use mons that have reached 1st place before

[rare swift]

dibs contest: no repeat pokémon allowed in fusions, 1 entry per person

[lusty pewter]

music contest: fusion must be based of the title of a music, the lyric of the music, or based around singing/playing songs

I think the managers are way ahead of you on that one already

[zinc lion]

I'm probably going to be back spriting before the contest resumes

[normal oyster]

That’s alr beeing done

[crystal hill]

contest idea: unown contest but you can only enter if you make a separate sprite for the fusion with every unown form

[short dirge]

instead your entry has to include every unown letter

[cloud pulsar]

contest idea

the no fusion contest
we make a bunch of base sprites

[crystal hill]

someone already suggested that and apparently it has already been done

you need to suggest worse ideas if you want to be sure they are new

good ideas people have and share all the time

horrible ideas they sometimes have but rarely share

[misty acorn]

[limber venture]

You were outclassed

[grand tusk]

how could you outdo my drawing like this, how am i meant to beat this

[grand tusk]

here Rezza, may I make one suggestion for it

[limber venture]

Nuh uh

[grand tusk]

welp i did my best

[teal grove]

This sucks

[limber venture]

What sucks about it

[teal grove]

Everything

[limber venture]

[tawdry oak]

[dry garden]

:)

[odd garnet]

So there's no semi finals yet?

[quartz locust]

Don't rush the managers please, they've been pretty busy. 😦

[odd garnet]

Oh sorry
I was just curious since it's been a while

[honest tulip]

I like how it’s forbidden to ask qn abt poll now

Can we just close contest-general until a new poll is set up

[rose flare]

Contest Idea:
Fusion Rejects

[lusty pewter]

I don't know what's going on with Homer's face there, but it was the only GIF of this scene that I could find.

[lusty pewter]

pfft

[grand tusk]

Could write a message and then lock the chat since it's not like we need contest general atm, and people coming in will see that

[craggy remnant]

feel like those itching for a contest really just need a prompt rather than a competition

at least to tide em over

[slim palm]

the theme for the next contest is to make a fusion. thats it. good luck

[quartz locust]

Just do duels. 😉

[plucky arch]

sprite duels !

[craggy remnant]

i didnt even know about that! thatd be fun

that or just tell everyone to make a purple sprite. i want pictures of purple sprites on my desk by next week or the daily bugle is ruined

[plucky arch]

the masses rush to Ditto

[craggy remnant]

muk and mewtwo are right there

venonat too

[short dirge]

spritework-old

[craggy remnant]

what?

[short dirge]

people keep posting links to it

apparently an old archived channel

[craggy remnant]

oh

the olden days… i remember them very vaguely

[hollow gull]

Contest idea: finish this contest

[plucky arch]

No

[short dirge]

contest idea: contest discussion is banned until the contest is over

[slim palm]

contest idea: last person to get banned wins

[loud scaffold]

Contest idea: your mother

Better Contest Idea: Party/Prankster/Joker themed Contest for April Fools Day.

[fading quail]

Contest idea: power ranger

[misty acorn]

Contest Idea: One Piece

[short dirge]

contest idea: a pokemon not in infinite fusion and if you win that pokemon gets added

[crystal hill]

actual contest idea: dex entries, since custom dex entries can be added but very few fusions have them

[grand tusk]

Can custom dex entries be done? Where's the custom dex entry submission channel

[teal grove]

Where does this come from

To my knowledge custom dex entries arent a thing

[limber venture]

I think theoretically yea they can be done

but i mean who wants to do em

[crystal hill]

pretty sure this one isn't default

[limber venture]

Huh, cool

[grand tusk]

Let me write dex entries

I can be trusted with them, i am a reasonable person

[crystal hill]

there might be a reason they aren't much of a thing

[grand tusk]

I would guess writing 170k entries would be a little hard, yes

[crystal hill]

since this game can't handle more pokemon, there might be a similar issue with dex entries as well?

[crystal hill]

I mean, so is making 170k sprites and people are trying

[grand tusk]

the text is already there though, unless it just checks and repeats the entry of the fusion mon

[limber venture]

With my vague understanding of how the fusions work im pretty sure its the former

[teal grove]

Yeah that does look custom, but any idea how it got there?

[teal grove]

Nah, text takes up a lot less space than images

[grand tusk]

Honestly it sounds fun but I wonder how it'd work

[crystal hill]

nope just saw it and went "huh custom dex entries exist, neat"

[zinc lion]

should start making people come up with dex entries for every fusion they submit

[crystal hill]

ik, but it might fuck up the database search if there's too many unique ones

or something

[crystal hill]

only do that if the mods or something say it's a good idea

[zinc lion]

we can have chatgpt generate all the dex entries

[grand tusk]

"If your nose becomes itchy while you are sleeping, it's a sure sign that one of these Pokémon is standing above your pillow and trying to eat you dream through your nostrils."

Is it actually custom or just the alpha sapphire entry?

[crystal hill]

oh wait yeah it is

[teal grove]

That's taking a step forward and then one back

[crystal hill]

damn

[grand tusk]

but it says the name instead of "one of these pokemon"

[teal grove]

The current dex entries are made algorithmically so using chatgpt would probably make it even less logical

[crystal hill]

since every other dex entry I saw seemed to be a sentence from one and a sentence from another, this being one sentence made me assume it was written for this mon

especially since it fit really well, much more than it does for hypno

but yeah it's just hypno entry with the mon name

so that might still be done automatically

[grand tusk]

I am curious now though, it'd be cool to find out if it is possible. Though how suggestions get added is another story

[cloud pulsar]

contest idea: trainer sprites

[tawdry oak]

Maybe better base sprites

Make it not red and green and blue

[cerulean ice]

Overworld sprites that match the trainer sprites would be nice. It's always jarring how different most trainers are to their overworld sprite. Like, this guy is supposed to be a burglar?? 😅

[cloud pulsar]

uses this excuse to put my character into the game

[wind matrix]

Contest idea: finish as many requests in #sprite-requests as you can before the winners of this contest are anounced

[limber venture]

Im ngl ive thought so many times about just doing as many sprite requests as i can to see if i can try clear out the channel
