event-general

[slow gyro]

Oh men, they’re all incredible

I love the electivire one

[near horizon]

electivire and scyther i think

[slow gyro]

Yea, usually dynamic poses tend to be more appealing

[brazen mist]

electrivire for sure. then probably sunflora or dragonair

[hollow gull]

In terms of what I would vote for? Luxray and, if you rounded the bubbles on Azumarill some more, Azumarill. Dragonair is also quite nice

You've got jaggies to be rounded out on all of them though

[crimson rover]

for submit, I just need to upload it on drive or I need to post it on spritework/gallery too?

[pale isle]

Neat

[stoic peak]

Which two should i post?

[void pagoda]

i prefere the third

[teal grove]

I like the second

[graceful plank]

welll uhhh I actually do like the first best

[stoic peak]

Darn

[hollow gull]

Bird for sure

[dawn ivy]

im wondering, is this allowed?

7. Contest voting. This should be a courtesy as opposed to a rule, but it will still be enforced. Do not talk about individual sprites currently being voted on in contests, as this potentially sways and influences voting outcomes. **This also means before voting begins, so no discussion on sprites until they are out of the voting or until voting is done. Posting the sprites in spritework to receive feedback is an exception to that, however, so feel free to discuss work in progress sprites there before they are submitted to the contest. **

[buoyant bough]

it used to be more enforced but the last contest (little cup) did away with this rule altogether, and people are just continuing this trend

[dawn ivy]

You're pretty much scratching off sprites/contests entries before it started

[stoic peak]

Ah im sorry, wont happen again

[dawn ivy]

doesnt seem fair to me

little cup was a big mess on all fronts lmao (in a fun way)

but ye, it seems a bit uh, "which one would you vote for?"

[buoyant bough]

i guess this sort of thing would be up to contest managers to decide

[dawn ivy]

@limber venture can you check with the other contest people? Also the thing of posting your entries here before the contest?

[stoic peak]

I am sorry for doing that, i only did it because someone else did it perform me, I already decided which two to post. I literally made the birb because i wasnt happy with my second post enough. I just wanted people to confirm my suspicion

[dawn ivy]

its fine, hence i ask for some clarification on the rules

[stoic peak]

And don't worry, I wont win anyway

[dawn ivy]

no need to take it personal, its more an overal question :P

[limber venture]

You would be better off just pinging them yourself rather than pinging me and asking me to ask them

I'm pretty sure it applies though

[dawn ivy]

i cant ping em wit the role

and idk who they all are

@silver merlin i know

[silver merlin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1053036544774127747/1057495550469079110/Secret_Santa.gif

whas up

[dawn ivy]

this

[silver merlin]

uh yeah no its allowed lol

asking people which two sprites to pick out for the contest is fine

just do it in spritework

in ya threads

[dawn ivy]

might wanna ping people for a reminder

cause scrolling up its more :P

[silver merlin]

ehh if it happens again ill let em know

[dawn ivy]

👍

[misty acorn]

Guys which of these twos sprites of mine should I submit to the contest?

[timid echo]

Idk that snorlax/gengar lookin pretty good

[plucky arch]

gotta go Snorlax/Gengar, that bottom one looks trash sorry

[mint lava]

ye

the smooth transition to gengars colours is just chefs kiss

[stoic peak]

I like the subtle use of the full 288X288 resolution. The right one just looks like pixilated trash

[misty acorn]

Sans and Deoxys are also super similar if you really think about it

[graceful plank]

Lmao I love how it's drawn over the model too. Chef's kiss

What it needs is a gradient and more colours

[wind matrix]

needs the darken tool imo

[storm grotto]

Why even present the second one when the first one is right there smh

[mint lava]

ye

like

its rigged 🙄

perfection

[plucky arch]

quick apology for the Contest Managers for having to run 2 contests at once

[teal grove]

quick apology for the contest managers for having to run contests

[plucky arch]

quick apology for the contest managers for having to run

[mint lava]

quick apology for the contest managers

[misty acorn]

quick apology for the contest managers for the terrible joke that is going on here right now but not anymore because I stopped it thank me later

[dull mortar]

Apology

[silver merlin]

@wind matrix get outplayed only kiwi can talk in there now

[wind matrix]

[dire panther]

Oh my days this is goofy

[normal oyster]

I was gonna make another sprite

But I’m not rushing and making crap

[dull mortar]

[wind matrix]

[glossy wagon]

wtf my perms

[supple fog]

up is a movie created by Disney how it follows a old person and...

you get my joke

[thin dove]

i...don't know if i'm going to have enough time to make the one i wanted to do second

;_;

i can put my totodileoxys in though

[near horizon]

i think i'll put the unfinished version of the Reshiram/Deoxys x)

[vestal silo]

I think I may try to smash something together tonight

Def procrastinated

[rough kindle]

@warped isle your contest submissions are double in the google drive. Just thought I'd mention it

[warped isle]

THANk you LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIX IT??!

i could delete the second reshiram! thank u <3! :]

[livid tulip]

I still have 15 hours, I'll try to finish it before the time is out

[edgy turtle]

So how goes the poll making?

[wise kernel]

i have so many finals to be doing, but i really wanted to join the friggin contest and I have like 5 minutes to chill rn, so imma bout to try and smash together something at least half decent lol

(definitely not because I'm procrastinating on finals)

[wind matrix]

me trying to make a decision about my entry

[wise kernel]

would you like assistance?

[near tinsel]

acrobat wip

[wise kernel]

ayyyoooo

[wise kernel]

y'all should i give him arms?

or is it more deoxys with no arms

[void abyss]

I think some of the tentacles should be arm-esque

[wise kernel]

i will add a 4th going to the right

[wind topaz]

Maybe I'll continue using these contests to fill my full dex chart

[wind topaz]

#is-my-sprite-ready

[wise kernel]

finished with my first contest entry- now I have no excuses to procrastinate on finals anymore T-T

[pastel hollow]

youve still gota dupe arcanine

[warped isle]

i....would need a mod to delete that 😦

i cant delete that on my own because my thing is glitchehd

[pastel hollow]

ah

[wind matrix]

anyone can remove it so I did it for you

[livid tulip]

9 hours left

[near horizon]

uploaded this to the contest, i don't have time to really end this one before the contest end x)

[stoic peak]

Only 8 hours left!

[silver merlin]

only 8 hours left

[teal grove]

I imagine the deo contest wil be done before LC3

[silver merlin]

it will lmao

[near horizon]

it doesn't require this much of imagination x)

[silver merlin]

137 entries

not too bad

[teal grove]

That's better than the 167 of roserade

[silver merlin]

yeah i was just checking on that

2 entries max are def what we are going with from now

[near horizon]

nice, it's easier to manage for contest managers, and it gives two chances for spriters

i think

[silver merlin]

ye

[silk bolt]

@near horizon Do it
Fuck your exams

[near horizon]

?.?

[silver merlin]

and people will still make like 50 deoxys' but only submit 2

[silk bolt]

Spriting is living
Examing is boring

[silver merlin]

so we still get sprites, which is what contests were made for

[near horizon]

exam last only 45min

[silk bolt]

See

You Have time

[near horizon]

no

[silk bolt]

[near horizon]

i'm in english lesson right now x)

[thin dove]

wait, 8 hours? i thought this contest started on sunday

[near horizon]

no

it ends in 5h and 21 minutes

:)

[thin dove]

well i know i'm not winning but i got 1 entry in at least

didn't have time to make 2..

[near horizon]

didn't have time to finish second entry x)

[warped isle]

THank yoU

[thin dove]

deoxys is fun to mess with, i should do it more often

[teal grove]

Me every time i make a non-klinklang

[torn dawn]

I submitted two piggies

[livid tulip]

I submitted my fusion already

Good luck everyone 🗿

[near horizon]

you too

[thin dove]

good luck to all of you!

[thick harness]

Yeah good luck! I've seen some incredible sprites for this

[placid robin]

good luck for the contest friends, you all have incredible talent

[teal grove]

On the contrary, my talent is quite credible

[tardy rampart]

can I post the sprites for the contest in the gallery or should I wait till voting is over? (both for the special and the normal contest?)

and also, good luck

[stiff valley]

for the special they HAVE to be in the gallery i believe

normal idk

i think you can, seeing the amount of deoxys we got

[tardy rampart]

oh, I messed that one up then

I thought just upload to the drive

[stiff valley]

if you do it now they might not notice

[tardy rampart]

hahaha... reading is hard
thanks!

[stiff valley]

they have to go through spritework first tho

as usual

@tardy rampart

[tardy rampart]

aye, will remove and repost to spritework
sorry for being a dummy

[warped nest]

lets see how far I make it

[dull mortar]

🫡

[near horizon]

ngl, i'm really excited to see what are the sprites made by the others for both of the deoxys and LC contest

[pulsar kite]

ah damn i hope i make it home to post mine to the gallery still, i can't on my phone

i forgor

it's in the drive though

[near horizon]

i didn't upload my Reshiram/Deoxys, because, even tho it's a good sprite, i don't consider it totally done

[surreal yarrow]

can't you download and re upload from your phone?

[pulsar kite]

i can but i can't close the spritework thread on my phone, im using an older version of discord that doesnt have threads

i didn't like an update that came out so i downgraded and have been using this version for a good couple years

[near horizon]

you can, just hold on the name of your thread in the list of channels

and you'll have an option to close or edit

[pulsar kite]

i can't see them is the thing :D

threads dont exist

[surreal yarrow]

ohhhhh

[pulsar kite]

it only says # invalid-channel wherever a thread is linked

[near horizon]

can't you # them ?

[surreal yarrow]

i mean someone can just paste your image here for you

[pulsar kite]

ah i have it uploaded on other places as well, i just can't change the tag in the thread and close it

[surreal yarrow]

i don't think you have to do that for it to count for the contest (i believe)

[near horizon]

You can close on phone

[surreal yarrow]

they have an older discord version they said

[pulsar kite]

i also can't see the automatic timers (also dont exist on this version of discord) so can someone tell me how much time till the contest closes?

[surreal yarrow]

2 hrs exactly

[pulsar kite]

ok i should be good then lol

i'm home soonish

this is what it looks like to me :DD

using an older version isn't an issue in normal servers so it's not enough to make me update, since my desktop discord is ofc up to date

anyway good luck for the contest everyone!

[near horizon]

you too

[graceful plank]

you can look up unix timestamp and there are a bunch of sites that can convert it for you too!

[wind topaz]

You have an hour

[pulsar kite]

whoa thats good to know :0

i'm home and posted my sprite in the gallery, all's good :D

[graceful plank]

I tend to use this one https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/

[wind topaz]

It probably doesn’t specify minutes, so more like an hour and 13 minutes

[graceful plank]

oh that's not reversible 😦

https://www.unixtimestamp.com/ you can enter timestamps on this one, just remove everything that's not the number

[crisp whale]

I haven't looked at this server in a bit. Do I try to speedrun a deoxys fusion in the next hour.

[pulsar kite]

do it

[crisp whale]

I had a thought for an idea but that is Not a one hour idea

Ok maybe I can do this

Haven't sprited in like a month...

[cloud pulsar]

38 minutes to do a entry

good luck

[pulsar kite]

mine says an hour

[cloud pulsar]

i am a time traveler

[pulsar kite]

im pondering trying to finish a second entry in that time but idk i feel like it would need more work than that

[slow gyro]

Sooooo

Are the polls ready?

[pulsar kite]

it's like halfway there but it would need time to cook

[cloud pulsar]

when is the next contest?

[pulsar kite]

you're a time traveler you should know

[slow gyro]

Wait till I win

[mint lava]

when is lc poll

[cloud pulsar]

the lc was a trap to make us do more sprites
the polls will never appear

[plucky arch]

never, it was a scam

just to make more sprites, by enticing us with money

[mint lava]

[slow gyro]

I felt right into that trap

[delicate crypt]

Second entry keeps coming up with transparency on the fusion bot so I'm giving up on getting it done in time, I'll just do it another day instead

[slow gyro]

I threw myself heads down into that lmao

[mint lava]

how could they

not like i would get my spriter role otherwise

but how could they

[ruby valve]

whew uploaded mine at the last moment

just found out there was a "contest" going on hours ago lol

[leaden jungle]

.Ngl, I didn't know there was a contest at all, I just happen to make a deoxys fusion by sheer coincidence.

[ruby valve]

haha that's nice

i didn't pick the role initially, but seeing people talk about it made me feel left out

[dire panther]

Is it bad that I’m submitting this about 20 minutes before the contest ends?

[leaden jungle]

.Proof that luck is the most important stat.

[mint lava]

true

[ruby valve]

plus i found out just how fast i can sprite

more like sprint

[dire panther]

That’s basically the point of contests

Sprite quickly

Unless it’s like a month to do it

[mint lava]

fighting a boss? have 84589789453609643256345260 luck? you hit a switch and the place caves in and the dragons dead

[teal grove]

On the contrary, youve completely missed the point

You had a week of prep time for this contest

[pulsar kite]

hmm i could still post another entry but i dont think it's completely ready for sprite gallery.. like i'd like to work on the final design still but do you guys think i should post it in the contest

[silver merlin]

dont worry guys im taking a shower so youll get like 5 minutes extra i saved the day

[pulsar kite]

the sprite finish level is fine but i don't like the design that much

[plucky arch]

hygiene saves us once again

[plucky arch]

if you have an extra spot, why not

[slow gyro]

You shower in five mins? You’re really saving the world

[plucky arch]

you can always make it better after the contest too, i did that with my Secret Spriter

[slow gyro]

I usually take like, 15 mins aprox

[pulsar kite]

oh right i don't have a spritework thread for it yet

[plucky arch]

(you dont need it)

[pulsar kite]

oh?

[dire panther]

Yeah true

[plucky arch]

you can submit to contests without a spritework thread

its just the gallery you cant

[pulsar kite]

yeah ofc

well i'll drop it in the drive then

[plucky arch]

yea

[pulsar kite]

i'll finish it later, maybe people like the design lol

[plucky arch]

a lot of people dont spritework their contest entry till after its over, as to not spoil it and all

[dire panther]

Final entry

[leaden jungle]

.Contest entry.

[surreal yarrow]

WHERE DRIVE LINK

oh wrong channel duh

[cloud pulsar]

in the post

[main hare]

#event-announcements message

[thick harness]

Luckily there's so many people working on mergemay sprites and just regular sprites and stuff now that I feel like even if the contest sprites were posted in spritework i'd probably have missed a good chunk of them

[dire panther]

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE SUBMIT THIS FOR ME

I can’t load the drive

[surreal yarrow]

what! someone told me i had to post to gallery lmao

[stiff valley]

this

is super unfinished

[surreal yarrow]

well that explains all these amazing entries i hadn't seen before

[stiff valley]

[dire panther]

Aww come on

Oh well

Too late now

Rip my first contest

[cloud pulsar]

mael roasting someone sprite smh

[dire panther]

I mean to be honest it was kinda rushed

[silver merlin]

@dire panther ill add it dw

[surreal yarrow]

i think that gengar sprite came a long way, great progress

[silver merlin]

one thing you should know is that we are never on time with the contest dates

[silver merlin]

nope

spritework & the gallery is optional for contests, getting feedback just improves your chances basically

[surreal yarrow]

maybe the contest rules & mergemay guidelines got mixed up at some point lol

[surreal yarrow]

i will pretend i didn't hear this 😂

great work everybody 🤝

[torpid jolt]

Contest inspired me to try something I felt was out of my skillset, so I enjoyed it for that.

[dire panther]

Oh thanks

[dire panther]

Same

[silver merlin]

uh oh

[cloud pulsar]

whats that

[teal grove]

Too detailed?

What’s that

[silver merlin]

too big in size basically

[torpid jolt]

Me when I start giving my life story to my coworker who asked me how I'm doing.

[crisp cargo]

skill issue

[teal grove]

How does that happen

It's just a png

[silver merlin]

no like

when they arent 288x288

but like

[teal grove]

OH

[silver merlin]

300x300

[crisp cargo]

why is gif even there anyway

no anims allowed

only amunos

(this is a certified french classic)

[teal grove]

Spriter

[crisp cargo]

husk

[teal grove]

That's the program tenedranox made for contests

[silver merlin]

cuz i forgor to tick the no animations option

[crisp cargo]

skill issue

[teal grove]

It can select which file formats to permit in the contest

[silver merlin]

wow

150 entries exact

[crisp cargo]

i figured it was a program yes

[dire panther]

Oh wow

[ruby valve]

i already know who i'm voting for (not myself)

[torpid jolt]

That's a lot of Deoxys.

[silver merlin]

i am voting for myself

[ruby valve]

shame, Katten!

[pulsar kite]

oh yeah whats the policy on voting for yourself is it like an honor thing

[dire panther]

I need to see em all to vote

[torpid jolt]

I am voting for everyone except me

[silver merlin]

no i have done it for 3 years and i aint stopping

its allowed

its just like politicians can vote for themselves LOL

[limpid dove]

i just don't want to be last, that is a victory

[ruby valve]

scandalous

[pulsar kite]

it's my first contest so idk if its expected people vote their own although there are a lot of entries that i also like besides my own :D

[limpid dove]

CLEARLY the only good entry is the one you do yourself, obviously

[pulsar kite]

true

[ruby valve]

imo it's the opposite, your own entry can't surprise you and impress you as easily

[cloud pulsar]

im gonna still vote for myself

[torpid jolt]

Turns out the winning entry is the sprites we made along the way.

[pulsar kite]

wow....

[plucky arch]

that feels so small after the LC lmao

[limpid dove]

(I was being a ego dumbass, but that makes sense)

[near horizon]

It's less than 1/10 of LC x)

[torpid jolt]

Side note, squinting at pixels for the last week made me realize I need glasses so I'm gonna go swing by the glasses store.

[crisp cargo]

that contest ran for 10x longer too

[cloud pulsar]

teddy entry is pretty cool yeah

[crisp cargo]

rule 7

[silver merlin]

rule 7 indeed lol

[limpid dove]

oh shit

sorry

[dull mortar]

🚔

[limpid dove]

i forgot

[dull mortar]

weeoo weeoo

[limpid dove]

I'M SORRY OFFICER, I WAS IN A DARK PLACE

[slow gyro]

Yes

[silver merlin]

think this is the same as before

[ruby valve]

i keep looking at my number every time to see if i messed up

[plucky arch]

too detailed?

[silver merlin]

too big

[ruby valve]

huh isn't 347.380 Katten's own entry?

or were there multiple...

[silver merlin]

we'll see which one it is

theres two

[ruby valve]

oh hadn't seen the other one

[plucky arch]

smh cant believe Katten broke the rules of her own contest, shameful really

[silver merlin]

i make the rules here

new rule: only i can participate

[limpid dove]

The system is corrupt, sad

[silver merlin]

yes you all are under a dictatorship under me and skeln and maybe rezza too idk that guy

[torpid jolt]

And here I thought this was a democracy

[limpid dove]

Is over, everyone. Time to be in a dictatorship i suppose.

[teal grove]

Damn where were you two for the entire time you were in this server

This has never been a democracy

[slow gyro]

Soooo

Are the LC polls ready?

[silver merlin]

welcome to my anarcho liberal IF server

[ruby valve]

doesn't that mean no rules at all?

[wind topaz]

So, what’s the next contest gonna be?

[surreal yarrow]

round 2 all deoxys fusions that didnt get finished

due tomorrow no prize

[ruby valve]

wait, there is a prize for this one?

[silver merlin]

a themed one but it will probably be hosted later than usual due to personal stuff

[silver merlin]

yeah

winner gets a lemon

🍋

[ruby valve]

looks like Rezza

[silver merlin]

LMFAO

[wind topaz]

Time to crush it

[silver merlin]

@limber venture this is so true

[limber venture]

This is slander

[ruby valve]

these two are the same picture

[torpid jolt]

I've been here for like a week and I've been in #1050404143807873157 the whole time

[crisp whale]

I was too late, oh well

[dull mortar]

ohhhh thats really good!

rip whatever your name is not-reuniclus

solosis

[ruby valve]

that's actually cool

[surreal yarrow]

surely they gotta accept that just so we can have 151 entries 🧠

[silver merlin]

no

sry i dont wanna do the polls again

[dull mortar]

oh O:

aw

[ruby valve]

for the evolutions, there could be the upper half of Deoxys coming out of its mouth, and finally the last is entirely merged?

[dull mortar]

that sounds yucky in a very good way!

[crisp whale]

Perhaps! Tbh I have only evolved my sprites once

I just. Never get around to it.

[ruby valve]

same

[cloud pulsar]

cat

[silver merlin]

nya~

anyways LOL

so far

one poll out of 8 done

this

sucks

[wary canopy]

🙇 thank you katten for your service

[teal grove]

Gather up everyone time for more out of context katgirl screenshots

[balmy ibex]

uh

[mossy belfry]

hmmm

[mint lava]

mmmmmmmmmmm

[silver merlin]

(do they not show

[silver merlin]

that dont matter

just pick anyways

[balmy ibex]

might just be me hold on

[dull mortar]

ah

[mossy belfry]

not just you

[dull mortar]

yeah its weird

[mossy belfry]

so A is A1, b is A2 c is A3?

[thin dove]

i don't see anything at all

[silver merlin]

ignore it you can still pick out what u wanna vote for

ctrl r

[limber venture]

time to go vote for my sprite and nobody else's

[mint lava]

YOU SCAMMED US

[silver merlin]

yeah

[mint lava]

NO LC POLL >:(

[silver merlin]

weird how messages pop out of existence like that

[balmy ibex]

katten u can't delete the turth

truth

fuck

[surreal yarrow]

so what does "r" mean just curious

[pulsar kite]

[silver merlin]

you do the poll with 2000 entries

[limber venture]

i'll do it

for sure

[feral maple]

I am the only one to see this ?

[late sequoia]

I see the same

[silver merlin]

guys

you can still vote

for the sprite u wanna vote for

[thin dove]

i haven't a clue which one is which

[mossy belfry]

but it takes more thinking than normal

[silver merlin]

thats right under my dictatorship we do thinking

[thin dove]

does it go across, or down?

[mossy belfry]

across i think

[late sequoia]

It goes across first right? A1-A5

[timid urchin]

People get their votes wrong even when it says the right thing how do you expect them to do it now?

[balmy ibex]

I'm out of school now I refuse to think

[surreal yarrow]

is it this?

[silk bolt]

@silver merlin how am i suppose to know for who i am voting

[near horizon]

yup me too, but it takes 45 seconds to figure

[silver merlin]

u got it

was too tired to take draw it all

[silver merlin]

use that school knowledge

[limber venture]

It's like you guys have never done a contest or counted past 5 before

[eternal junco]

It would be really helpful to have one visual posted

[silver merlin]

LMAO

[balmy ibex]

tf is a 5

[silk bolt]

got from kindergarten to highschool directly, i don't know letters stuff

[pulsar kite]

what are the numbers and letters in the image there for if they dont correspond to anything in the actual poll

that makes it more confusing

[feral maple]

is it possible to add a pic with all the letters in the right place to help peoples ?

[balmy ibex]

u're doing great

[silver merlin]

ahem

[surreal yarrow]

pin this i guess lol

[slow gyro]

Where the fuck is my Torterra?

[silver merlin]

i posted it in #event-announcements

[limber venture]

Confusing you on purpose to skew the votes

[cloud pulsar]

nooo my entry is against really good ones

[surreal yarrow]

though some polls still go to R which none of them have? which is odd

[silver merlin]

probably got removed cuz it was too big

[pulsar kite]

:'(

[eternal junco]

With all due respect, it makes no sense that 🇧 is not actually on the row labeled "B"

[silver merlin]

man this sucks

[slow gyro]

But it was 96 pixels wide

[cloud pulsar]

scuffed

[silver merlin]

this was how i got told to do things lol

[cloud pulsar]

and rigged contest

[slow gyro]

Now I’m actually mad

[eternal junco]

Can you appeal to change it

[slow gyro]

It was my favorite fusion ever

[silver merlin]

ill add it to the semis lol

[hollow gull]

No yea hero's big turtle should def be here

[eternal junco]

Because the orientation suggests it should be read like this:
A E
B F
C G
D H

Etc

[slow gyro]

Oh thank god, thank you

[hollow gull]

Nah it makes sense to me

[cloud pulsar]

how tf do i vote for the A4?!

[thin dove]

ah, so many other people did the star skater idea

[cloud pulsar]

i am confused

[pulsar kite]

several people typing

[surreal yarrow]

check pinned image in sprite contest

[scarlet shoal]

Both of mine are up against good fusions

[surreal yarrow]

and Don't vote R for anything bc it's nothing lol

[surreal yarrow]

so don't count backwards to figure out votes

[eternal junco]

Clearly this is not a shared sentiment judging by the enormous amount of confused users lmao

[silver merlin]

i was clearly not mentally stable enough to do these polls

whatever

[surreal yarrow]

didnt realize my scuffed E would haunt these halls forever lmao

[hollow gull]

"enormous" it's like 4 people

[silver merlin]

yes

[dawn ivy]

.....

my entry isnt in there

[eternal junco]

Thank you for pinning the visual, it will help a lot

[hollow gull]

Yea emy you got cancelled for too much detail I think

[primal iron]

I'd say most of us were confused lol, I also initially read it the other way around

[silver merlin]

im going to remove my contest manager role holy fuck, this sucks so much ass

[hollow gull]

Make that 5

[silver merlin]

i gtg anyways, ill remove the poll and fix it at some point

[grand tusk]

contests are gonna be cancelled by the end of the month lmao

[surreal yarrow]

welp seems like time to step out
good job on contest everyone!
also everyone's confusion is understandable and valid but also
thank you mods for doing free work

[cloud pulsar]

no more contests

[grand tusk]

I dont think ive seen a single contest manager enjoy doing them

[hollow gull]

Katten you did great we chilling

[limber venture]

The server is too big for this shit now man

[silver merlin]

yeah lol

[limber venture]

Much easier when you had like 3 entries

[dull mortar]

should we avoid voting until its changed or should we still vote now

[crisp whale]

Ngl I'm finding myself choosing entries that have an earlier letter so I don't have to go through most of the alphabet to match them up

[hollow gull]

We need to instantly ban people if they bully contest manager

[dawn ivy]

wait, how was mine too big and removed then?

[hollow gull]

Well that sucke

[grand tusk]

1 entry, also 3 days, also you have to sign up beforehand or you cant enter

[pulsar kite]

when theres 3 entries total everyone gets a prize

[crisp whale]

Sucke

[thin dove]

we should put different poses in collages

have all the attackers together, all the skaters together

[cloud pulsar]

what does that means

[hollow gull]

How far y'all think I'm getting?

Finals?

[crisp whale]

I lost to the clock

[dawn ivy]

not allowed

[normal oyster]

@silver merlin you forgot merums sprite ||(again)||

[scarlet shoal]

I don't think I'm getting far

[slow gyro]

||Well at least your fusion is there||

[hollow gull]

What happens to people who sprited from sketch?

[balmy ibex]

dw urs was too

[slow gyro]

We get disqualified lmao

[scarlet shoal]

Yeah

[thin dove]

mine exists

[pulsar kite]

putting all original poses against each other would be bad, they're often the best ones so it would be a bloodbath

[slow gyro]

My gigantic turtle isn’t, it was too powerful for this contest

[torpid jolt]

I don't see my Gliscor either

[placid robin]

i idn't find my entry on the contest poll 😢

[ruby valve]

where is even the poll haha

[thin dove]

after the week of multiple days trying to move at all, at least i got somebody in there

[silver solar]

I am very confuse

[livid tulip]

Why does this always happen to me

[dull mortar]

it got taken down I think because it was borked

[slow gyro]

Im sorry I got borderline so I’m like, passive aggressive, in an attempt to not explode

[crisp whale]

It was taken down to fix it, I think

[cloud pulsar]

oh it got hidden

[dawn ivy]

its removed temp there were issues

[dawn prairie]

yeah it got taken down

[thin dove]

i doubt my sprite will advance at all but i'm just glad she's there in the first place

[silver solar]

Was there multiple polls?

[limber venture]

I'm just gonna do it i think

Try not to ping katten

[torpid jolt]

What poll

[crisp whale]

The spriters (us) are kind of dogpiling here

[dull mortar]

🫡

katten allowed to sleepy

[dawn ivy]

not allowed Rule 7

[balmy ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/tgto-zombie-orpheus-onwaaard-the-gamers-rpg-gif-17217581

[plush vale]

no discussing to be voted on stuff

[trail stump]

o

[silver solar]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/641801364376256512/1104094196064850071/image.png
Because there’s no way this is all of the valid entries.

[dull mortar]

its not

[grand tusk]

nobody reads messages before adding their own feedback

[thin dove]

it isn't

[limber venture]

Just calm down for a bit please

[dull mortar]

that was an example because they were broken

[crisp whale]

That's true

[thin dove]

rezza i'm hungry

[silver solar]

Good, i was just confused

[hollow gull]

Cause people are not chilling

[crisp whale]

Can this channel be put on slowmode perhaps

[silver merlin]

i wish the mod role had literally any perms so i could put slow mode on this chat

[thin dove]

[the discord channel] is confused!

[balmy ibex]

aight aight guys let's give the mods n managers some breathing room

[limber venture]

Only kiwi and frog can slowmode

[crisp whale]

What's the point of a mod role that doesn't give perms...

[scarlet shoal]

Let's make our own slow mode

[hollow gull]

@frog?

[slow gyro]

Im sorry rezza, I’m just kind of mad/disappointed, and having borderline makes it just like, confusing to feel

[dawn ivy]

prevention of abuse

[crisp whale]

Trust your mods tho

[silver merlin]

true cuz the mods would abuse

[plush vale]

somebody turn on the the kiwi signal

[hollow gull]

Why would the mods abuse?

[balmy ibex]

no saying peepee

[cloud pulsar]

yeah katten would abuse it

[thin dove]

Everybody go to bed

[grand tusk]

I feel like I'll give a Discord suggestion to offer my idea, but i'll also wait because I feel bad for contest managers atm lol

[pulsar kite]

ok our own slow mode, everybody you can only send one message per minute you have to keep the time on your phones

[feral maple]

too early here

[balmy ibex]

let's play the quiet game

[cloud pulsar]

but i am hungry

[crisp whale]

Ok

[thin dove]

Take a fecking nap then

[slow gyro]

Im literally at work lol

[plush vale]

maybe just make a temporary pin to say polls are on hold

[dawn ivy]

nah, but still a prevention method. It's unhandy in these situations tho, and longer term mods might have it over new mods for this reason, but eh

[balmy ibex]

aight I'm migrating to spgen

[primal iron]

gives @silver merlin a cookie You got this, take your time

[balmy ibex]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1088232068896530503.gif?size=160&quality=lossless

[feral maple]

🍪

[grand tusk]

make a Discord suggestion I say, I think katten has enough on their plate atm lol

[hollow gull]

When the sprite voter guy can possibly work on the main sprite voting replacement, using that for the contest too would make life good

[dawn ivy]

But really, the amount of rule 7 breakers since the kiwi's contest is impressive

[slow gyro]

Please stop pining Katten, she’s already tired

[hollow gull]

Just need bot protection

[crisp whale]

One minute.

[hollow gull]

We're used to it

[limber venture]

Lmao why did somebody submit their wip that wasnt formatted correctly at all to the contest

[dawn ivy]

im not judging Kat, just hanging on to the conv

[grand tusk]

I thought rule 7 was laxed recently

[limber venture]

It was im pretty sure

[hollow gull]

For kiwi contest

[slow gyro]

LC was inmune to rule 7, but just Lc

[hollow gull]

Not for this

[silver solar]

Not officially, i think just for that one

[ruby valve]

accident?

[torn dawn]

Oh, I’m sorry to see that those polls are such a major inconvenience for everyone, especially the mods

[dawn ivy]

but why tho, as now you're already scribing off sprites before joining the contest, pretty much eliminating the "bad ones" from the contest, which isnt how it should work

[thin dove]

now i wonder if i should've put more (or any) effects on mine

[silver solar]

Little cup ones are gonna be worse

[balmy ibex]

I didn't even know the contest was ending today, was the entry time rlly short or did I disassociate for like a month

[silver solar]

It was a week

Thats normal time

[thin dove]

entry time for this was about a week

[crisp whale]

I'm sure you mean this genuinely but the phrasing sounds So sarcastic

[feral maple]

was only a week

[thin dove]

i thought i had 2 more days too

[limber venture]

That's regular classic comp isn't it

[balmy ibex]

shit I disassociated for a whole week

[silver solar]

Little cup was the outlier

[ruby valve]

i found out there was a contest today, was a rush job

[plush vale]

what would you have entered teddy

[balmy ibex]

at least my fusion made it in

[slow gyro]

I didn’t knew the polls needed to be made at the exact moment the contest entries time was over, they should have taken their time to be made, there was no hurry

[plush vale]

oh nvm

[scarlet shoal]

I made mine a week ago or something

[torn dawn]

Oh no, I meant it honestly

[silver solar]

They probably dont have to be made immediately, but people are impatient

[balmy ibex]

nah I made a fusion, just didn't pay attention to the entry time
wasn't planning on making more anyway

[plush vale]

then they get barraged with poll when

[slow gyro]

Well then stop

[plush vale]

wasn't by me, I'ver never asked

[slow gyro]

I usually ask it for the LC as a joke

But I literally add the

[grand tusk]

even as a joke aren't you still doing it

[slow gyro]

Yea but not pining anyone

[silver solar]

I wonder how many entries werw in the drive and how many of those were valid

[hollow gull]

Hey guys when are polls going up

[dawn ivy]

im confused how mine wouldnt be valid lol, i did what i always do

[cloud pulsar]

when is the next contest while we wait for the polls?

[silver merlin]

yeah it just really doesnt make sense, if you give the "mod" role to a person you trust them to you know, manage and moderate the server

[scarlet shoal]

Love it when i just see the sentence. Multiple people are typing

[silver merlin]

i mean at this point sprite manager has more perms than mod

[torn dawn]

Camiska contest draw me a new pfp

[balmy ibex]

wait katten then, sorry to ask, what can mods do?

[silver solar]

Eh, maybe frog has seen shit turn bad

[balmy ibex]

othe than mute

[silver merlin]

thats another discussion though and i am tired of it all

[slow gyro]

Lol

[scarlet shoal]

Bug contest

[silver merlin]

honestly

[hollow gull]

Frog doesn't like having staff from what I've heard

[silver merlin]

closing this channel until i come back

sorry guys i just cant with this shit lmao

[normal oyster]

First

[cloud pulsar]

fuck

[balmy ibex]

sorry katten, I was trying to say "it's ok, take ur time" but the reaction limit blocked me

[plucky arch]

ok so clearly something happened while i was gone

[normal oyster]

Unfortunately

[slow gyro]

I was spelling “Katten, please go to sleep, you deserve it” and then the chat got muted lol

[slow gyro]

||Cock||

[balmy ibex]

yea mango's dead

[ruby valve]

next contest: magikarp

[slow gyro]

Men, I do feel bad

Do you think there’s something we could do to make Katten feel better?

[storm grotto]

Who would say such a thing

[cloud pulsar]

you wish
the next contest is gonna be klinklang

[balmy ibex]

sprite oshawott/deoxys rn

[slow gyro]

Lol

[plucky arch]

just let them take their time and not bug em prolly

[normal oyster]

Conquering France

[storm grotto]

I meant to point up and I accidentally laughed 😔

[torn dawn]

Camiska contest

[storm grotto]

That would make anyone happy, even French people would like to invade France

[scarlet shoal]

Joltik contest?

[cloud pulsar]

yo camiska contest?!

[stiff valley]

am probably the 9864165146th person to ask but where are the polls

[cloud pulsar]

that sounds fun

[normal oyster]

Only advantages

[stiff valley]

pretty sure i saw them

[torn dawn]

Make me a cool new pfp

[hollow gull]

Cami hi

[limber venture]

Stuff was messed up so they were deleted

[cloud pulsar]

they got taken down

[torn dawn]

Hi :3

[stiff valley]

rip polls

[scarlet shoal]

They were messed up and confusing

[torn dawn]

Im making holidays in France over the weekends for the first time making holidays since 2018, so I am very happy

And very sorry to see the shitstorm the mods got for the stupid polls to go awry

So my solution: Camiska pfp contest

[stiff valley]

diexois

[cloud pulsar]

lmao

[balmy ibex]

if u spot the other spelling error u win a cookie

[pulsar kite]

here is my application for the camiska pfp contest

[stiff valley]

do i apply

[torpid jolt]

If someone else finds it first can I get a cookie to?

[hollow gull]

Holy shit

[torn dawn]

Omg

[grand tusk]

We're having a fake pfp contest in the middle of all the chaos lmao

[balmy ibex]

@limber venture send this in #event-announcements

[limber venture]

no

[torn dawn]

Oh wow, this is incredible

Thank you so much!!

[silver merlin]

based lemon man

[pulsar kite]

[torn dawn]

@balmy ibex I have bad news for you

[pulsar kite]

[cloud pulsar]

[torn dawn]

Cookie, delivered by a baby

[twin otter]

Can i have a lime instead

[limber venture]

im figuring out how the contest sheet maker works rn

so crazy

[torn dawn]

Wait I’ll look for him

[thin dove]

maybe we could extend the contest since we're looking for sprite managers (you don't have to take this seriously)

[limber venture]

it doesnt need extending, i can do it perfectly fine

[grand tusk]

yeah cause thats what they need, more entries lol

[cloud pulsar]

can i apply and not do polls?
i just want the icon

[thin dove]

i should've put instead

[torn dawn]

[cloud pulsar]

[scarlet shoal]

I want bug mons

Bug theme

Silence.....

[pulsar kite]

heracross contest when

[zinc lion]

I've-a applied

[slow gyro]

I wish I could become a contest manager just to help, but I’ll be really busy from now on, so i would do more harm than good

[cloud pulsar]

i want to apply but they told me that i need to do polls 😒

[plucky arch]

i applied cause why not, ive thrown my hat in cause yknow

[cloud pulsar]

i just want the role to brag bout it

[plucky arch]

its prolly the only staff role id actually be able to do

[grand tusk]

I wonder if Google Forms would be really good for these contest entries

[slow gyro]

I just wanted to help cause I feel bad for the contest managers

[digital valley]

Every time I try to vote it tells me “interaction failed”

[grand tusk]

I might make a test one myself just to see, I would like to help managers have an easier time if possible

[cloud pulsar]

how tf are you voting?

[limber venture]

the polls arent even there

[stiff valley]

refresh discord

maybe they still see them

[digital valley]

Oh it gone

[grand tusk]

AgentMoo hacked the channels to vote early

[digital valley]

It was just there

[thick jolt]

should i apply for contest manager

[cloud pulsar]

no /j

[slow gyro]

Rezza do you know if there a way I could help without having like, a lot of responsibility? Cause I don’t want to fail you but I want to help

[digital valley]

Apparently not if everything failed

[plucky arch]

if you want ! its rly up to you

[limber venture]

[scarlet shoal]

I'm more of a idea person

[stiff valley]

get the feedback role wait you already have it

that's about the only way you can help without having responsibility lol

[balmy ibex]

I'd apply but yea I'm w hero

[slow gyro]

I love to help everyone :))

[silver merlin]

(mael i think they were reffering to contests in the contest chat

[scarlet shoal]

I would probably forgot about polls

[stiff valley]

ik

but like

[balmy ibex]

even that I gave up, I was pinged 24/7 when playing games

[stiff valley]

IKR

[limber venture]

You guys can help by bullying everyone out of this server so contests are smaller

[stiff valley]

LMAO

[balmy ibex]

aight I'm starting w u

[stiff valley]

getting banned in the process

[slow gyro]

Lol

[cloud pulsar]

ok brb

[scarlet shoal]

I had the role for 1 day and woke up with 10 pings in #1050404143807873157

[silver merlin]

honestly, contests might not be for this place anymore as its too big

[grand tusk]

unironically in a way, since the large boon of members seems to be the core issue now lol

[silver merlin]

it might just be sponsored contests

[balmy ibex]

natural selection

[limber venture]

ok

i think i have the sheets

nothing LOOKS wrong with them

hero's sprite is on ther

meru's is too

[balmy ibex]

is mine there

[limber venture]

let me check if emisys' is there

[scarlet shoal]

Maybe more requirements?

[grand tusk]

No harm not applying right?

As long as you think you can do it

[scarlet shoal]

I'm not sure if i can do it

[knotty sphinx]

What does a contest manager even do?

[pulsar kite]

what other requirements could there be though, without making it either gatekeepy or really frustrating to join a contest

[scarlet shoal]

I mainly learn by doing

[knotty sphinx]

Be a spriter

[limber venture]

i think a good first requirement would be having the spriter role honestly

[placid robin]

is it normal i can't find my entry on the contest polls ?

[thin dove]

i want to help but i would 100% make it worse

[scarlet shoal]

Yeah

[limber venture]

not like we can check for that though

[pulsar kite]

are there entries from people without the spriter role?

[limber venture]

the polls aren't even up right now

[golden rapids]

Yo am I blind or is there no channel to vote for the contest

[limber venture]

yes

[pulsar kite]

huh

[placid robin]

but i saw them

[pulsar kite]

surprising honestly

[scarlet shoal]

Maybe if there was a secret chat that only spriters can see with contest links?

[limber venture]

Have you considered that, since you saw them, they have now been deleted?

[grand tusk]

I have suggestions, but I feel you guys are already overworked so I think i'll wait a bit

[pulsar kite]

that could work?

[placid robin]

how can i know they were deleted ?

[limber venture]

Because you can't see them

[scarlet shoal]

It could be called contest links that only the spriter role can see

[stiff valley]

I don't know what to write

[balmy ibex]

give this man the whole server

[scarlet shoal]

I write that im creative

[placid robin]

oh right i can't see them anymore lol, sorry for the disturbance

[stiff valley]

99% of being a contest manager is just
making polls and sorting sprites

only 1% is actually making the contest

it's basically sprite manager but less ??? i guess

[grand tusk]

that 99% is horrible too from what i've seen

[thick jolt]

i applied

[grand tusk]

Every contest manager taking breaks now

[stiff valley]

it's sprite manager but you only work on certain period of time but on that precise time you have a lot of work

[grand tusk]

this chat filled to the brim with constant questions and everything

[scarlet shoal]

I want to help... But.....

[limber venture]

My whole windows explorer just restarted while I'm tryign to figure this out

That helps

[stiff valley]

[dull mortar]

its helping

[scarlet shoal]

Rip

[dull mortar]

asterisk

[stiff valley]

man we really need a laughing emote

[thick jolt]

likely wont be accepted since people have been here longer and are more qualified

[teal grove]

Ive got a solution for that

Use firefox

[grand tusk]

[limber venture]

Mate

[dull mortar]

do use firefox

[limber venture]

Windows explorer

[stiff valley]

rezza gonna back you up

[limber venture]

Your file viewer

[stiff valley]

100%

[limber venture]

Not fucking internet explorer

[teal grove]

Still use firefox

[dull mortar]

it wants to be internet explorer

[stiff valley]

no but like 🤣 or 😂

[scarlet shoal]

I've had that happen it's very annoying

[stiff valley]

like really laughing

not looking at you weirdly

[teal grove]

All the homies check their files through Anaconda python navigator's JupyterLab

[grand tusk]

is called heehee

[scarlet shoal]

I use rotom

[stiff valley]

i now have ptsd

[grand tusk]

cut and dry i say

[stiff valley]

thanks

[teal grove]

Weakling

[thick jolt]

if i do get sprite manager it means i have to use my laptop more for drives and things

[teal grove]

Why'd you get ptsd from jupyter

[thick jolt]

maybe ill start spriting on that instead of mobile

[balmy ibex]

aight I submitted my form

[scarlet shoal]

I mainly use my phone for everything

All my fusions were made on my phone

[limber venture]

Its not sprite manager its contest manager

[thick jolt]

yeah wrong word i wasnt really paying attention

[balmy ibex]

would contest managers be the watchogs to sprite manager's mods

[thick jolt]

i was watching the flash

[ruby valve]

if i were the contest manager i'd just let people check the gdrive for themselves, then input the case sensitive name through my custom bot to vote, then the bot would output the name with most votes through an admin command. Then i would run the finalists through fusion bot, and if they're not disqualified they win, otherwise the next entry wins. The laziest system i can devise

[dire panther]

I’d apply, but I don’t think 3 months on the server is enough experience

[scarlet shoal]

I've been here since March 6 2022

[limber venture]

I got sprite manager with not really that much time in the server

[silver merlin]

rezza wouldve gotten mod with like 2 days on this server if he didnt get CM

[dire panther]

How long?

[dire panther]

Oh wow

[limber venture]

Just look at my join date

[thick jolt]

~5 months

[limber venture]

I got sprite manager like a month ago now

[stiff valley]

rezza with all the staff roles smh

[dire panther]

Damn

[grand tusk]

Rezza collecting all staff roles like infinity stones

[dire panther]

I might apply then

[scarlet shoal]

I'm surprised I've been here since March 2022

[dire panther]

Rezzos

No

That’s just Jeff bezos rezza

[stiff valley]

Ok but really idk what to write here
Katten can I just write nothing ?

[grand tusk]

Thanos but yellow and with a giant m on the chest

[silver merlin]

sure

[balmy ibex]

I applied for cm even doe I've been here for 4 months

[stiff valley]

lmaoo

[silver merlin]

honestly idc i just need two people willing to sacrifice their soul

i mean

[thick jolt]

same

[silver merlin]

be really good contest managers!!

[balmy ibex]

does that mean I'm dying

[grand tusk]

no I think they know they're walking into the slaughterhouse tbh

thats on them

[scarlet shoal]

I don't know if i should apply or not

[silver merlin]

youre in IF, so youre basically already dead

[grand tusk]

truuue

[scarlet shoal]

I want to....

[plucky arch]

im already compiling all he mergemay info, my soul is long gone lmao

[stiff valley]

Applied

[grand tusk]

i've been Discord staff as a paid job, I've had enough fill of moderating a community

[stiff valley]

(i actually wrote something in that category)

[grand tusk]

or anything really

[stiff valley]

discord staff as a paid job ? sounds painful

[scarlet shoal]

Imagine the 100 applications that they are receiving

[slow gyro]

I just uploaded my attempt, but tbh, if there was something like a “Contest Helper” that helps the contest managers, that would be pretty neat

[silver merlin]

100 is the new 7 boys

[scarlet shoal]

Lol

[stiff valley]

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/svbrIdqh8Xv0g2eVHdg195d25cbF3abzfK5aO73nYt6Zk2PwfbIpkno7xAqlF5HVOdwPu6R0IxCyahj5ZCL21ATDtJUlGw7adtdP4NefOsKOtlj_oSeRSel_RS7R8T7Z3g=w239

[grand tusk]

eh, more like general community manager, so I could delegate work to others, but yes it wasn't fun

[stiff valley]

it's not animated

[slow gyro]

Katten please go to sleep, you really deserve it

[molten vector]

I want to as well, I feel it would be fun. But that may be massive naivety

[stiff valley]

"fun"

ah yes, making 100 polls is fun

[grand tusk]

me when I haven't seen the server in the past 3 months

[molten vector]

That actually sounds fun to me lol, clearly I'm clueless as to what actually goes into it

[grand tusk]

you have to deal with us in the chat

and we suck

[buoyant bough]

please give me more stuff to manage i crave

[molten vector]

Dang you're right

[scarlet shoal]

When is poll

[slow gyro]

Then stop sucking ||I never thought I would say that ever in my life||

[stiff valley]

taking all sprites from that vote
putting them together into a small chart for the vote
making the command to create the vote
