event-general

[cloud pulsar]

and lopunny is at

[balmy ibex]

I've said it a thousand times n I'll say it again, gardevoir is literally just a woman

[hollow gull]

I'm like demi? But different I guess

[balmy ibex]

nothing overly sexual about it

like lopunny? ofc
tsareena? no question
gardevoir? literally just a woman

[cloud pulsar]

both gardevoir and lopunny are at 200 and something lmao

[hollow gull]

Haha you expect people to treat women like people and not objects for hatred or sexual objectification?

[cloud pulsar]

almost hitting 300

[hollow gull]

Tbf there is a team Gardevoir

[cloud pulsar]

and thats is only body

[slow gyro]

Yea but I’m asexual until proven opposite, so I don’t like those Pokémon cause are just sexualiced and I’m not into that in general lol

[hollow gull]

@wispy moon @wary canopy love you besties keep doing what you're doing

[balmy ibex]

it's so fucking weird doe
lopunny is literally a playboy bunny, tsareena is literally a dominatrix

why tf did they make pokemon based on that

[wispy moon]

https://tenor.com/view/neo-rwby-nod-yes-smile-gif-14602789

[slow gyro]

Ik and that’s why I don’t like them

[hollow gull]

Women are great 👍

[slow gyro]

I completely agree, but that doesn’t mean I would like an anthropomorphic creature, most likely an animal, to look and act like a women

[balmy ibex]

pokemon: we don't want overly adult themed pokemon, nothing too graphic, etc etc
also pokemon: yknow what this plant needs? to give ppl dominatrix kinks

[hollow gull]

I'm not against sexual things I'm genuinely completely apathetic to them. Tsareena and Lopunny have other aspects for me to like

[slow gyro]

Those are just weird design choices based completely on someone’s kink

[hollow gull]

I like how gogo boots look, so that's points for tsareena

and Lopunny is fluffy

[wispy moon]

I feel like the mentality of "this is an animal" is dumb in some cases, and should be "this is a friend" instead

[balmy ibex]

I love how mega lopunny is just one of those 80's aerobics girls

[slow gyro]

Animals are friends, but are still animals

[plucky arch]

disagree, all pokemon are but animals to me

[hollow gull]

Humans are animals

[plucky arch]

even Machoke

[balmy ibex]

the problem is that that's a very grey line

[wispy moon]

And I'm gonna tiptoe on both sides

[balmy ibex]

like alazakam is an animal, it's a goat thing but it also has a bajilion iq

[slow gyro]

Yea but we’re smart enough to not want to procreate with something that isn’t as smart, or at least most of us

[hollow gull]

If a sandile is as sentient as your average human, or as sentient as a dog, then we're all somewhere on the dog-human intelligence scale (some are considered smarter than people tho)

[wispy moon]

Are we really that smart?

People eat soap and kill each other. What makes us smarter?

[slow gyro]

Well, we should

[hollow gull]

My problem with relationships with pokemon are the power dynamics

[balmy ibex]

hero gamefreak straight up stated that in the pokemon world humans n pokemon used to uh

[hollow gull]

I don't think they can consent because they can go in pokeballs, and humans can't

[slow gyro]

Ik and I hate that

[cloud pulsar]

i hope that this doesn't get out of control

[hollow gull]

Be one and the same?

[balmy ibex]

leaving before it does

[hollow gull]

They never said they fucked dawg

[slow gyro]

This

[hollow gull]

No more conversing rule 2 obama

Pokemon are friends

Not food

[wispy moon]

And food

[hollow gull]

Except slowpoke

and shellder

[slow gyro]

Lol

[cloud pulsar]

im gonna eat a wooloo

[hollow gull]

and magikarp

and lots of other pokemon

[hollow gull]

Mareanie definitely isn't food though

[slow gyro]

Pokémon aren’t breedable with people

Not even vaporeon

[sinful olive]

OK, I will play devil's advocate and say that we do see in the anime that pokemon do consent to going into pokeballs. Ash's Greninja comes to mind as he physically gives him the pokeball

[hollow gull]

This is not necessary to say

[timid shore]

sv literally says some pokemon parts fall off naturally and are harvested for food

[hollow gull]

Yes but there's nothing stopping someone from throwing a ball at a random Gardevoir and then oh no oh fuck

[sinful olive]

True

[hollow gull]

I'm p sure that's just the psychic fish

Damn I never forget a pokemon name

What fuck

Who

[wispy moon]

Veluza

[hollow gull]

Thank crumb

[hollow gull]

Therefore it's amoral

[timid shore]

crabominable has a dex entry like that too

[sinful olive]

Ya the claws

[wary canopy]

seeing i got tagged here vs seeing the conversation going on. huh

[hollow gull]

Well that's in reference to actual crabs

[sinful olive]

Pokemon is a very morally screwed world

[hollow gull]

There's a species of crab that farmers just pull the claws off of

[timid shore]

and then petilil has a thing where it says their leaves are harvested for tea

[hollow gull]

Was just saying I like the work you do with Gardevoir

[timid shore]

and summer form sawsbuck talks about the aromatic tea their leaves make

[hollow gull]

Don't like people who objectify Gardevoir though

[hollow gull]

Yes but I doubt every pokemon can grow back limbs

[timid shore]

oh wow first time my phone auto corrected aromatic to aromantic lmao

[hollow gull]

I wonder what Wo-Chien Tea tastes like

[wary canopy]

thank you ! i do my best

[dull mortar]

spite

[wispy moon]

Probably tastes like chiet

[vale jolt]

poopy but hole

[hollow gull]

Can the beasts of ruin feel love?

[timid shore]

escargot flavor

[dull mortar]

I hope so I want to feed them cupcakes

[sinful olive]

The thing is we are trying to thing Intelligence when we should be talking sentience

[vale jolt]

What a philosphical question to see open opening this chat

[hollow gull]

They seem oblivious of their evil and destructive ways

I think they just want to live like any other pokemon but the world crumbles around them

Very sad

I will subdue them by having them in my party and I will give them the life they deserve

[vale jolt]

oh were talking about pokemon

[sinful olive]

Some pokemon act like standard animals like growlith while others are very much at the level of people

[hollow gull]

Is it even moral to control a Gardevoir at all?

Gardevoir emancipation time

I mean I guess it's something something bond between Mon and trainer but somewhere in the back of my mind it feels the same as "well the slaves liked it"

Although I guess there's clear evidence that pokemon can and do like the trainer and mon relationship

[sinful olive]

It is very questionable, especially when you see them in the wild. I remember the episode where the gardevoir was looking after max. She was basically a mother

[hollow gull]

So it's not 1-1

It's just, it's fictional media

[slow gyro]

@plucky arch contest winner when?
/jk

[hollow gull]

and I wouldn't like to see a fictional world where an enslaved person likes being enslaved

Oh wait I'm fucking stupid

Pokemon can just leave if they don't like what's going on

[sinful olive]

We are trying to implement our world morals into a completely different world. May what they are doing is morally correct

[hollow gull]

Yea but fictional stories reflect things about the real world, and teach lessons

[cloud pulsar]

can we discuss about contests or something?

[hollow gull]

So there's an ethical responsibility to teach the correct lesson

[slow gyro]

Ah yes, let’s make the Non IF contest and the winner gets to replace the Klinklang line

[hollow gull]

Will there even be any entries left for the next little cup?

[vale jolt]

"One of the first things established in the Pokemon anime/game series is that Pokemon want to be captured and trained by a worthy human. Humans are capable of creating deep bonds with Pokemon and help them reach their full potential. Wild Pokemon attack because they're jealous of trained Pokemon."

[hollow gull]

Oh wow

That last line feels... Gross

[sinful olive]

Arguably it's not morally correct to capture any pokemon. It would be like taking a wolf out of the forest and expecting it to act like a dog. And also you are ripping the pokemon from its family. What if the pokemon you captured was the provider for its young

[hollow gull]

I guess all pokemon you encounter in tall grass are already implicitly consenting to being captured? They just need you to prove you're worthy?

"Implied consent" isn't a thing though

[vale jolt]

Im guessing most pokemon want to be caught

[hollow gull]

Ok

[vale jolt]

thats why they attack the trainer

to see if their worthy

[hollow gull]

Humans and pokemon are a mutual symbiotic relationship

[vale jolt]

thats why more gym badges = more pokemon respect

and legendaries are harder to catch

[hollow gull]

Rare pokemon must be

Ones that just don't like people muc

Much

Ok cool

[vale jolt]

and your right

pokemon can release themselves

unless some unethical stuff happens like in the anime

(team rocket)

[sinful olive]

Another thing we also have the think about is how much influence legendary pokemon have had on general pokemon

[hollow gull]

(wait that doesn't apply to Arceus and SV though right?)

[vale jolt]

?

[hollow gull]

They're not coming at you from tall grass

You sneak up behind pokemon in Arceus

Is that just considered unethical? But necessary for research?

The backstrike is taught by volo anyway

[vale jolt]

its mean

but

they can just release themselves

right

[hollow gull]

Maybe it's meant to be evil in universe?

[hollow gull]

I suppose

[sinful olive]

At the same time in arceus we know that pokemon are constantly attacking people. It would be like if bears were constantly strolling into town and attacking people

[vale jolt]

but

doesnt the safari mention how they dont like the way pokemon are caught in the wild bla bla

no fighting

[hollow gull]

There's no "torture and abuse your pokemon" mechanic so we've never been bad enough to warrant a release

[vale jolt]

😭

"Do not feed pokemon" "Battle"
"Release "Stab pokemon"

[hollow gull]

I would like to clarify I would not like a "torture and abuse your pokemon" mechanic in any current or future pokemon game

Being good is good

[sinful olive]

Pokemon morality is weird and conflicting

[hollow gull]

Be good

[hollow gull]

About as weird as real world morality

[sinful olive]

Another I could also like to bring up is that we have seen pokemon run away from trainers, even if captured in pokeballs. Again I bring up ash's greninja

[hollow gull]

Indeed

[vale jolt]

?

[sinful olive]

True

[vale jolt]

what about it

[hollow gull]

Moral philosophy is cool but yes I think this conversation has gone on long enough

I guess we could continue in DMs

But for now

[vale jolt]

nah ngl

[sinful olive]

Ya, it's getting depressing

[vale jolt]

i dont think pokemon ethics are that relevant for us to continue

[hollow gull]

Will there be enough potential little cup entries for a future little cup?

Or did we do too many just now

[vale jolt]

Im pretty sure we can do it again since theres like 26^26

[cloud pulsar]

i think that we still have a few to do

[vale jolt]

but mods might not want to

[hollow gull]

Also if I have a badass fucking way past cool idea and design that I think could 100% win a contest, should I hold onto it for a contest?

[cloud pulsar]

we need more larvesta

[hollow gull]

I wanna make it now

Plus I feel like there is something somewhat noble about starting from scratch when given a contest prompt

[vale jolt]

wyag whats the furthest youve made it in a contest?

youve participated in like 2/3 right

[hollow gull]

and something equally noble about posting badass fusions regardless of whether there is a contest

[hollow gull]

Semi finals

[vale jolt]

same

what sprite

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infinitefusion/sprites/main/CustomBattlers/251.244.png

[vale jolt]

fair

[hollow gull]

The funny

Hoping to do the rest of the Celebi/beast trio

No one steal that idea and do that I want ZERO competition on that front

[vale jolt]

time to do glow for mergemay

cause a wheel told me to

[hollow gull]

Oh btw for anyone left upset by the earlier conversation

[cloud pulsar]

feeling like doing some celebi fusions

[hollow gull]

It's probably completely ethical to be a pokemon trainer go love your mons and be the very best like no one ever was

[vale jolt]

what pokemon emit light

[cloud pulsar]

lanturn

[hollow gull]

Lanturn

[vale jolt]

dex lanturn

[opal wadi]

Lanturn's IF Pokédex number is 171!

[hollow gull]

Fun thing from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet

[cloud pulsar]

and some fire mons i guess

[hollow gull]

Every Meowth form's eyes glow in the dark

Maybe there's something you can do with that

[vale jolt]

HOW DARE SOMEONE HAVE AN IDEA BEFORE ME?

my brother just gave me a heart attack

[thin dove]

i peek in here for 1 second and there's another weird argument

[cloud pulsar]

i forgot to tag rule4 my bad

[hollow gull]

?tag rule4

[urban knot]

Make sure to follow the #rules!

4. Read the channel descriptions. Stay on topic and don't spam channels, be it with messages, gifs, or reactions.

[hollow gull]

Huh

[hollow gull]

You're weird

That was a very civil discussion bestie

Maybe how I read tone online is completely different from how other people read tone online

Mayhaps I am the drama or something

[cloud pulsar]

we need stay on topic about what this channel is about so
when is the next contest?

[vale jolt]

GRRR POKEMON AND THEIR ETHICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😠

[hollow gull]

GRAAAAAA

[vale jolt]

Ahah! Pokemon and their ethics 🧐

[hollow gull]

Right now

I challenge you to a sprite duel

?tag duel

[urban knot]

Sprite duels are informal, smaller versions of contests that are usually 1v1, and people will make sprites based on a specific theme, which the participants can either decide themselves or ask a third party to come up with one. You can challenge someone to a duel in #spriter-general.

When you've both completed your sprites, you can send them into #is-my-sprite-ready as a joint image and ask members to vote on which one they prefer. You can get feedback on them before finishing in #spriting-discussion as well.

Here is a link with all of the relevant information about duels, including theme suggestions. 😃

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F3_O2wM1upD-pnVHF7mIw1WsXRn25TZZ5WAYzbX_zbU/edit?usp=sharing

[vale jolt]

yall im winning the next contest

fr fr guaranteed

[cloud pulsar]

im doing homework 😔

[vale jolt]

going to spend all my time on a custom sprite

[cloud pulsar]

i cant duel rn

[hollow gull]

Bleon wanna join the duel

[vale jolt]

no

[hollow gull]

Me too 😔

[vale jolt]

omg i should be revising

[misty acorn]

Sprite duels were fun

[cloud pulsar]

"were"

[hollow gull]

According to my slay Jynx, a custom sprite alone is not a guarantee

[misty acorn]

They became cringe when I stopped organizing them

[vale jolt]

it was custom??

[misty acorn]

[vale jolt]

Wyag next time you gotta do a more dynamic pose

shouldve done a marilyn monroe

[misty acorn]

Also kherx why are you no conest champion yet, you gotta get on that 🔫

[cloud pulsar]

i am weak
i lose in the first round every time

i need to get more creative or something

[vale jolt]

AYY

new snorlax/torterra sprite

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infinitefusion/sprites/main/CustomBattlers/143.318.png

[hollow gull]

I did the most dynamic pose possible dawg every combination of arms was a different expression AND she was strutting

[vale jolt]

I always had this idea in mind but was too late to execute

[vale jolt]

yeah but was it marilyn monroe dress in the wind

(i just like marilyn monroe)

[hollow gull]

Was there something particularly wrong with this or could it not stand up to the competition

[hollow gull]

This doesn't make sense

[vale jolt]

ig some people cant appreciate differnt forms of art

[cloud pulsar]

i just thought that a dress made of deoxys tentacles could have been cool

or maybe a space dress

made of galaxy clouds

[thick harness]

I think it was just the competition, your sprite looks great! it's just so did everyone elses 😅

[stiff valley]

Wouldn't it be FUNNY if the bot was online but decided to not work anyway ?

[cloud pulsar]

it would be funny

[vale jolt]

my sprite looked so out of place with the rest

[hollow gull]

So I didn't live up to the potential?

It is a starry dress

Anything else felt distracting

I don't know how to imagine it made out of deoxys tentacles, and I changed the color so it didn't look like it was naked

[cloud pulsar]

the colours being a brilliant red was the only thing that i thought it was kinda weird
and when i tried to tell you pride told me to stop

[hollow gull]

So I guess it didn't have that potential in the first place?

[hollow gull]

Hmmm

Besides green and yellow, what do you think it could be?

[cloud pulsar]

purple

[hollow gull]

Cause the green and yellow both looked quite off

[vale jolt]

purple

deep dark blue

with purple higlights

like space

[cloud pulsar]

yeah

[hollow gull]

I'll try to put together an expanded purple palette out of the several different Deoxys

[vale jolt]

doesnt have to be eccentric with a nebula at the bottom

just simple

little nod

[hollow gull]

Or ask cami if I can borrow their old galaxy palette from shedinja/mew

[cloud pulsar]

i was imagining the dress like how falu drew arcanine fluff
but i guess it could look kinda naked yeah

[hollow gull]

Next time be as adamant about your feedback as possible (not that I blame you)

I don't understand people who tell people to stop giving feedback or advice like?

[vale jolt]

feeling like they are being pestering

[hollow gull]

What do you think the point of the thread is

[vale jolt]

i love feedback

it makes me a better person

unless i dont like it

then i just ignore it

but thats rare

[hollow gull]

I still think your Deoxys could benefit from multiple tones of wod

Wood

It's not in finals yea?

[vale jolt]

yeah

[stiff valley]

The bot beat me, I give up

[thick harness]

I think all feedback, no matter how minor is appreciated for contest entries in particular

[stiff valley]

for now

[hollow gull]

Ok then I can give the feedback

Before you post it try out another wood tone

[vale jolt]

too late

it was posted a while ago

[hollow gull]

take the post down ok

[vale jolt]

i would

but

its sprite paacking time

which means there is a likelyhood its been accepted

[vale jolt]

kiwi herself said

[hollow gull]

They'll fix it next time around?

I'm p sure every one of my sprites have been through revisions

That said I should revisit Whimsicott/Lileep

[vale jolt]

oh that

[hollow gull]

You don't have to work the same way as me tho

[hollow gull]

Not Lileep/Whimsicott

[vale jolt]

oh nevermind

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/infinitefusion/sprites/main/CustomBattlers/360.301.png

[vale jolt]

that seems fine to me

[cloud pulsar]

wrong one

[hollow gull]

It's fine yea

Something's bugging me about the neck pillow though

[vale jolt]

whats your favourite sprites

[hollow gull]

It's not very clear

[hollow gull]

That I've made?

It's usually my most recent one

[vale jolt]

yes

[vale jolt]

relatable

[hollow gull]

Deoxys/Jynx I adore

[cloud pulsar]

i got too many probably between these too

[vale jolt]

i got humbled so bad on a tiktok video once

[hollow gull]

This Lugia/Quagsire that I haven't yet posted also

[hollow gull]

Joltik

[cloud pulsar]

not the first one to call it a joltik but is a galvantula/volcarona

[vale jolt]

My abra/torterra is probably mine

despite 60% of it not being done by me

[hollow gull]

Awww so fabulous

[vale jolt]

😛

[hollow gull]

Which part wasn't done by you?

[vale jolt]

the icecream (main bit)

[hollow gull]

Who did it?

[vale jolt]

the guy i creduted

blissey enthusiast

[hollow gull]

Ah that explains a lot

[torn dawn]

yeah that guy is insanely talented

[vale jolt]

f

[torn dawn]

but I never saw a sprite by him

[vale jolt]

/feedbackpls made our paths cross

[torn dawn]

or recognized his sprites

[hollow gull]

They're all blisseys

[torn dawn]

but his feedback is always top quality stuff

[vale jolt]

he taught be how to do icecream though

[hollow gull]

They're all amazing

[vale jolt]

me

[opal wadi]

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Aegide/autogen-fusion-sprites/master/Battlers/242/242.6.png

This fusion doesn't appear to have a custom sprite! You can search for it in the #sprite-gallery to make sure.

[vale jolt]

LOL

[hollow gull]

Oh hasn't been packed yet

[vale jolt]

perfect as is

im gonna do magnezone/torterra

any ideas

[torn dawn]

ohh I am currently looking at them

[hollow gull]

This shit is insane

[vale jolt]

real

love the fire

[hollow gull]

I need them to teach me how to make adorable critters

It's so likeable

[molten vector]

Holy shit

[torn dawn]

how to make blastoise look so friendly and wholesome

[vale jolt]

these are amazing

[torn dawn]

HOW

[hollow gull]

Spoiler that for needles

[vale jolt]

i do think it should be flipped though

to face left

but its alright

its eyes are closed

[torn dawn]

TW: needles/syringes

[hollow gull]

It's weapons are facing left

[vale jolt]

they are facing both directions

anyways

[hollow gull]

Thanks cami

[torn dawn]

sure!

[vale jolt]

im going to do gengar/torterra

for

and im gonna add

a haunted house?

[torn dawn]

to this day I don't know what the proper English word for them is

needle or syringe

[hollow gull]

Also forget what you read before I reposted that, they didn't want me to share

[torn dawn]

I guess both

[vale jolt]

needle is the thing on the end of the syringe

[hollow gull]

A needle is not necessarily a needle syringe and a syringe is also not necessary a needle syringe

[torn dawn]

I dont know their name anyways that youve written out, so whoever it is I dont know who you are lol

[vale jolt]

nevermind

Definition. Syringes and needles are sterile devices used to inject solutions into or withdraw secretions from the body. A syringe is a calibrated glass or plastic cylinder with a plunger at one and an opening that attaches to a needle. The needle is a hollow metal tube with a pointed tip.

i dont like the word or images of syringe

like i dont mind them

they dont scary

[hollow gull]

A syringe is just a pressurized chamber with a plunger that forces a voluminous substance through a small orifice

[vale jolt]

but they feel irky

[hollow gull]

and a needle is just a sharp thing

[torn dawn]

ksksksk thank you for expanding my English vocab

[hollow gull]

Combined, they form a needle syringe but that combined thing is often referred to as a needle or a syringe, and most people will accept either

[torn dawn]

nice

[hollow gull]

I just realized this is not like a normal sentence

[torn dawn]

thank you both^^

[thick jolt]

omg one time i was at the dentist and (needle tw) ||they had this big ass needle and used it for the numbing (it was a root canal) and like it didn’t feel that big going in but when he was pulling it out it felt like it went on forever it was horrible||

[vale jolt]

cant wait for my sprites to go into the game

so i can see the shinies lol

[hollow gull]

Well technically it's a syringe with a needle cap

[vale jolt]

damn

[hollow gull]

Yeah I fucking hate those

[vale jolt]

i always choose gas over needles

[torn dawn]

ahhhh when I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed I also had some lasting experiences at the dentist

[thick jolt]

it was fun tho

i love dentists

woh the sky looks so pretty

[torn dawn]

||but this was just my dentist using his whole body weight and strength for cracking up and levering out the cracked wisdom tooth that didnt want to come out||

that was... wild

[vale jolt]

Ok there are 1, 2, 3, 4

[hollow gull]

||my mom heard me screaming in pain/terror after I had been anesthetized when I got my wisdom teeth removed||

[vale jolt]

4 custom torterras

[hollow gull]

Generally pretty normal

[torn dawn]

it didnt hurt or anything

just seeing this was horrible

borderline traumatising

[slow gyro]

I didn’t need my wisdom teeth to be removed

[torn dawn]

show-off

[hollow gull]

Appreciate the hugs but I feel much worse for my mom, I remember nothing I have no I'll feelings regarding that

It's vaguely funny

Like hearing a story that happened to someone else but it was you

[slow gyro]

In fact, my dentist said that it’s actually rare for people to truly need them to be removed

[hollow gull]

Weird

[slow gyro]

Just in cases when they are moving other teeth

[hollow gull]

Glad I didn't do local anesthetic

[vale jolt]

||nothing that bad happened to me, once i had to go through a surgery where i had no anaestheshia, similar to wyag I was screaming and crying the whole time, whilst I was being cut||

hello hero!

[slow gyro]

Hi!

When I was young, I hit my head really hard, that i literally got my skull exposed

[vale jolt]

😭

Hi!
I got hit by a double decker bus

just seemed like a very quick jump

[slow gyro]

But the impact actually killed some nerves of my forehead, so i didn’t felt anything

[thick jolt]

what a convo

pfthahaha

[vale jolt]

anaesthesia is crazy

isnt it named after the greek god of sleep

[torn dawn]

||when I woke up from getting my tonsils removed (at 19 years old) from the anesthesia I cried/screamed for my mom and pulled out the thing in my hand (the venous access thing) with all my force because I was in such a stage of terror||

[vale jolt]

oh my gosh

when it happened to me i was young

like 10

[slow gyro]

So when i got to surgery, it wasn’t even necessary to anaesthesed me

[vale jolt]

so i dont remember much

[torn dawn]

I was like a fresh adult

and the only one making a drama scene lol

this was so embarrassing seconds later

[slow gyro]

God

[torn dawn]

this sounds really spooky too

[slow gyro]

But I didn’t felt anything

Like, at all

[torn dawn]

doesnt that make it even more spooky?

[vale jolt]

my surgery was like some netting one

[upper cloud]

I like how I see the poll bot is "supposedly fixed" and I still can't vote.

[vale jolt]

basically a skkin transplant

[slow gyro]

Now I do feel my forehead, but for some years I got a part of the forehead where I was just unable to feel anything

[vale jolt]

🤷‍♂️

[thin dove]

to be fair i didnt' look over the entire thing, because i've been off and on being online today

[upper cloud]

The poll bot must hate me

[torn dawn]

but regarding wyag, I feel you - seeing other people you love or my cat getting surgeries and stuff makes me feel so much incredibly worse than having such things to experience myself

[thin dove]

but it's been pretty consistent when i pop in somewhere there's always some discussion going on that came right out of left field lmao

[vale jolt]

I had an idea for a torterra fusion

[torn dawn]

lol

[vale jolt]

sometimes youve got to remember it was good that you were there

[cloud pulsar]

the poll bot hates whitenames

[vale jolt]

imagine going through a surgery alone

[torn dawn]

yes, that's right

but I'd rather have 10 surgeries/spooky doctor appointments than seeing my cat going through a risky vet appointment again

[vale jolt]

I think the reason why its better when people are there

[torn dawn]

I swear if this mf doesnt stay healthy now

[vale jolt]

is cause it removes the fear factor

If i was going to a surgery alone

[upper cloud]

Pfft I mean I got it to somewhat work so maybe it's grumpy with me for some reason the last few days?

[vale jolt]

I feel like id be more scared about the result than worried about the pain

even if they are medically trained proffesionals

you dont trust them

ANYWAYS

next LC poll when!?!

[cloud pulsar]

oh no the bot sucks and it takes a few tries to work

[slow gyro]

Just remembered

[hollow gull]

To be equally fair: you are not actually weird

[slow gyro]

Two years ago I got a nose job cause I was literally unable to breathe from the left side of my nose

And the surgery went well

Until my body decided to say “Surgeryn’t”

[hollow gull]

It's funny cause when I got out I was just adamant that I was completely normal

[slow gyro]

And worked it in reverse

So now I can’t breath again

Lol

[hollow gull]

Like the effects of the anesthesia didn't exist

[upper cloud]

Oh I know...but I also tried probably 50 times to vote so idk lol.

[hollow gull]

My mom recorded me saying (very impaired I might add) "I can't walk as good as I usually can but my mind is completely good and normal"

I came out and just called everyone I cared about and was like "I love you man"

Is that what being drunk is like?

[vale jolt]

Same thing happened to me

Well not really

After my anaesthesia

I felt as if everything was moving ungodly slow

And you know in movies when something is mocing so fast it leaves images of itself in former places

That too

But it wore off

[hollow gull]

I was scared of going under because ||I thought I was secretly some evil person who had to be controlled to be good and work against evil instincts|| so the fact that I came out and was just very nice to everyone did a lot for my mental health

[vale jolt]

And when i left the hospital

I greeted everyone i saw

Literally every stranger

[hollow gull]

I may never know what really happened while I was completely under, but when my judgement was still impaired I was a good person

[vale jolt]

im scared that I might reveal my darkest secrets

and the fact that im scared about that

[hollow gull]

I think that implies that I'm not good because I'm forcing myself to be

[vale jolt]

increases its odds

[hollow gull]

No it don't

[vale jolt]

I mean

its like asking a dumb person to keep a secret

[hollow gull]

Also I doubt your secrets are something worth ACTUALLY caring about to the point that your dentist would reveal them

Unless you're a murderer

[vale jolt]

I mean

like to my family

[hollow gull]

Or committed a felony

[vale jolt]

pretty sure even then it doesnt matter

I had an idea for pory/torterra

the one that exists is fine

[hollow gull]

Your family usually isn't in the room when you're being surgered

[vale jolt]

Yeah I know, but after

what if the side effects last?

But its like a pokemon battle field

with sprites

and the fighting menu

[hollow gull]

and considering I didn't tell my mom about the things I would rather not tell her, I think we're fine

The sprites should ofc be nidorino and gengar

[vale jolt]

YESSSS

FROM THE IFRST EP

OMGGG

[hollow gull]

They're also from the opening, where they're shown battling in the game

Like exactly like you're describing

[pastel hollow]

What an incredibly rich contest discourse weve been having

[vale jolt]

real

its like lounge but no mind corroding cool down

[stiff valley]

New best streak unlocked

[pastel hollow]

Incresible

[cloud pulsar]

good thing that i listened to rezza and didn't apply to contest manager

[stiff valley]

I have like

2 poll left to close

it will take me half an hour

[teal grove]

Maybe google forms or smth is a better approach

[vale jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/snapcube-eggman-gif-23877695

[stiff valley]

FI NISHED

DAMMIT

Now to create the NEXT polls

[dull mortar]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/854138539141496885/1091944711494848682/transparent-cat.gif

[hollow gull]

Nah polls just need automated

We've got people on it

As of right now mael's 30 minutes of suffering is a necessary evil to avoid Jeremy botspam

Has been discussed

Plus if there were Google forms they'd be spending like 9 hours verifying if a vote came from an actual person

[surreal yarrow]

up to 237 votes!! that's about as much ppl as voted on day 2! phew 😄 (main contest)

[feral maple]

the previous bot was easier to use no ?

[teal grove]

There’s no point in automation when the bot dies 70% of the time

[hollow gull]

Not true

Clearly whatever is going on with mael is time worth cutting down

There are big bots that can handle big loads that we could theoretically upgrade to

Let's cross that bridge at it's allotted time though

[stiff valley]

I can't avoid it anymore

[limber venture]

Mael just accidentally pinged the spriter role

Thank God he hid the channel

[cloud pulsar]

what

[limber venture]

He just accidentally would've pinged 2000 people

[cloud pulsar]

we are only 2000 spriters?

thats sad

[slow gyro]

XD

[stiff valley]

Quick go vote #special-contest-polls

before i make the announcement and it becomes laggy

[cloud pulsar]

i voted for myself

and thats it

[stiff valley]

chad move

[cloud pulsar]

too many polls

[stiff valley]

52

for 40 users

[cloud pulsar]

and i looked at the 7 polls of hero

[stiff valley]

of course

[slow gyro]

Vote in mine

[stiff valley]

gonna make the announcement at 11pm cest

<t:1683666000:R>

[slow gyro]

Im not at my home, so I’ll vote latter

[stiff valley]

wtf

[cloud pulsar]

i am a time traveler

[stiff valley]

your pc isn't at the correct time

[cloud pulsar]

maybe

[thick harness]

I have finished voting for them all 👀

[torn dawn]

I came through as well

[stiff valley]

imagine voting

could not be me

[meager pond]

it not even there for me

[stiff valley]

refresh

[meager pond]

bet

[molten crater]

how many spriters were entrants for the LC contest?

[stiff valley]

230

[thick harness]

Well we've almost reached the end of the 'M' names so hopefully we're over halfway done

[molten crater]

geez, probz 3 more batches then

[stiff valley]

if only

oh well we are

81 people left

that should be 2 more batch of polls

then a final batch to break ties for people who had multiple polls

And this is how the bot died

(it didn't, but imagine)

[thick harness]

I shall prepare a eulogy

[molten crater]

wait, 57 + 52 + 81 < 230

[stiff valley]

some people only had 1 sprite

so no poll for them

[molten crater]

oh that makes sense yeah

[stiff valley]

there was like 50 or 60 of them

[molten crater]

I thought 2 sprites would get past the self-eliminations tho

[stiff valley]

nop because we need one to the winner bracket and one to the loser

[wide knoll]

someone will be ultimate winner and someone will be ultimate loser

[molten crater]

imagine putting in enough work for having 8 polls and people choose the one sprite that you don't really care for

[feral maple]

wow great job, I think it takes quite a time to do this amount of polls.... Will be sadistically happy to see how much time it will take to make the polls for the next stage ( with the 400 sprites in 2 brackets)

[limber venture]

less time probably

he just has to copy paste the same command over and over

[meager pond]

when do the people who submited only one get voted on

[wide knoll]

never

[inland pollen]

If only spriters can vote, why don't just tagging spriters?

[wide knoll]

jk they just go to winning bracket

automatically

[limber venture]

because that pings 2000 people

[meager pond]

[inland pollen]

But i think is a bit useless to ping the other ppl that can't vote

[limber venture]

and what other option do you propose

[inland pollen]

Tag just spriters

[limber venture]

no

because that pings 2000 people

2000 people who are not interested in the contest

[thin dove]

how many people did this ping ...ping?

[feral maple]

to create a LC role and add it manually to the 230 spriters in the comp

[stiff valley]

1301

[thin dove]

so either way we're still pinging over 1,000 people

[limber venture]

1300 people who want to be pinged for this

[inland pollen]

But they are the only allowed to vote in #special-contest-polls, i mean

[limber venture]

vs pinging maybe over a 1000 people who do not want to be pinged

[stiff valley]

next time i'll hide the channel to everyone but spriters, and then ping contest participants, so it'll only ping spriters with the role

[lunar comet]

is this a different bot? i don't see the dropdown menu

[inland pollen]

That's a really good idea lul

[stiff valley]

yes

vote with the reactions

the other bot is dead, I killed it

[lunar comet]

gotcha, thank you

[lunar comet]

you monster

[stiff valley]

it deserved it

[feral maple]

totally agree was a pain to vote

[stiff valley]

was even more of a pain to create the votes and end them

[inland pollen]

Oof

[stiff valley]

look at that pin

[feral maple]

so why did it replace the previous one if it was worse ?

[stiff valley]

because it was using a dropdown menu

but the bot is just hyper unstable

so yeet

[feral maple]

stability is better than technology, always right when it comes to big things

[thin dove]

what if i just vote all the sprites every time

[stiff valley]

you'll probably end voting either for the last one, or the last one you clicked

[thick harness]

If you try and vote again on a poll; it just replaces your last vote you made

I know because I accidentally clicked the wrong emote and it told me when I corrected my vote

[plucky arch]

i was wondering what that was

[stiff valley]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-wanna-see-me-do-it-again-gif-14496504

[unkempt bane]

i think the a option for this one is missing on my screen?

[stiff valley]

Wait

where's A

[sharp mountain]

anonymous poll????

[stiff valley]

OF COURSE IT'S HERO DRAWING

OF COURSE

[sharp mountain]

are we sure.

[stiff valley]

why

[slow gyro]

XD

[unkempt bane]

its anonymous its just lagging i think on the later ones

[feral maple]

there it is, the a isn't missing

[slow gyro]

I literally just opened discord

[feral maple]

stop doing so much sprites you are flooding the contest and fusion bots

[cloud pulsar]

i remember this bot its always fucking up the reactions

[slow gyro]

Wait, is Deoxys poll closed?

Im exited to see who wins

[cloud pulsar]

me

[unkempt bane]

[cloud pulsar]

GG

[livid tulip]

Well, congrats

[cloud pulsar]

terraria won

[wide knoll]

i dont remember which one i voted for but it wasnt any of those

[balmy ibex]

AYY CONGRATS

[unkempt bane]

NICE

[cloud pulsar]

@ashen sapphire CONGRATS!!

[mortal storm]

okay I have mistaken the onix with a steelix the whole time... but it still was my favourite xD

congrats

[cloud pulsar]

@crude cedar CONGRATS!

[zinc lion]

i'm proud to have lost to gods such as these

[livid stratus]

Yooo congrats @ashen sapphire on winning

[cloud pulsar]

@slow gyro BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME BUT ALSO CONGRATS!

[molten crater]

why Golurk/Pinsir got 2nd place in a deoxys contest?

[slow gyro]

@crude cedar gg

[cloud pulsar]

i find funny that people couldnt recognize the deoxys/onix

[livid tulip]

Where is Pinsir in 2nd place sprite?

[stiff valley]

... That's an onix ?

[slow gyro]

I though it was a steelix lol

[cloud pulsar]

myself included

[stiff valley]

Thought it was a steelix

[near horizon]

I wanted the golurk to win

[wide knoll]

its a golurk/deoxys using deoxys defense form

[mortal storm]

I mean Steelix is its evolution and it looked more...steel type than rocky, but yeah the head is actually relatively clear an Onix...WHATEVER

[molten crater]

the body shape and the face cmon

[inland pollen]

Same xD
I thought it was Steelix

[molten crater]

i know, i know

[mortal storm]

but I am happy I wasn't the only one who made the mistake xD

[wide knoll]

not a pinsir in the slightest

especially not the face, pinsir has a big ol sharp mouth

[cloud pulsar]

thats it the fusion is unclear lets get it down

[livid tulip]

Onix/Deoxys looks more like Pinsir than the Golurk/Deoxys

[floral vessel]

Iiiiiiii think all of these entries ruled

[wide knoll]

🐊

[inland pollen]

0h yeah they did

[floral vessel]

I'm very happy the one I voted for at least placed fffffffff

[mortal storm]

think the the golurk was my third fav, the dusclops my second fav

[molten crater]

beta-pinsir with the round face

[cloud pulsar]

i hope the new icon looks good

[molten crater]

not the mouth

[molten crater]

thats a steelix

[mortal storm]

at least from the finalists

[cloud pulsar]

wtf?

[torn dawn]

congrats for two of my best friends on this server to reach the top 3

[cloud pulsar]

you sure?

[molten crater]

I'm sure

[mortal storm]

its definitely the best Onix have looked ever

[livid tulip]

My favourite was Deoxys/Golurk (was the one on the finals that felt more Pokémon to me and one of the sprites that had the least vfx), shame it isn't one of the winners

[misty acorn]

Soreile congratz on doing the thing!

[inland pollen]

Yeah congrats~

[mortal storm]

vfx?

[livid tulip]

visual effects

[plucky arch]

yoooo congrats to Soriele!!!

[torn dawn]

visual special fects

[mortal storm]

ah okay, thank you

[torn dawn]

*fexxx

[cloud pulsar]

fects

[torn dawn]

x

[thin dove]

i did my part

[rough kindle]

Congrats @ashen sapphire I hereby give my title to you. you will be slightly more blue soon 💙

[thin dove]

man everybody's sprites are fantastic, great job everybody (not me) ~

[mortal storm]

hm I can see that ... I don't know with certain mons it feels like there is always some kind of the whole universe added to it from... I don't know where haha

[torn dawn]

you too!

[misty acorn]

And goodbye Parasect/Banette, you've stayed with us for quite a while

[inland pollen]

Visual fects xspecial

[cloud pulsar]

parasect/banette best icon fr

[plucky arch]

were a Terraria server now

[cloud pulsar]

it fits perfectly

[livid tulip]

I'll miss the Parasect/Banette yeah

[thin dove]

I'M GETTING PINGED FOR EVERY SINGLE POLL RESULT AAAAAAAAAAA

[torpid jolt]

Hey at least I got kicked out round 1 to first place. That's how it worked, right guys?

[stiff valley]

Soreile gonna wake up to a hundred pings

[stiff valley]

mute the bot

[rough kindle]

for sure

[livid tulip]

Wait, it's a Terraria reference?

[cloud pulsar]

lets ping him again @ashen sapphire

[stiff valley]

calamity mod i believe

[mortal storm]

the Parasect/Banette was definitely dope

[torpid jolt]

Seriously though I feel like Deoxys fans were the winners here. Fantastic sprites overall.

[stiff valley]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjOj_6cMGEY&pp=ygUSZG0gZG9rdXJvIGNhbGFtaXR5

Look at the thumbnail

(and listen to it or consequences )

[cloud pulsar]

thats the one

[mortal storm]

(and probably fitted better into the round small shape in comparison that big dna space snake will do haha)

[rough kindle]

ooooh

[stiff valley]

be me
never played terraria
probably never will
music slaps
added to playlist

[cloud pulsar]

they are going to rework again the devourer of gods i think

[livid tulip]

So it's not a Deoxys/Steelix, not even a Deoxys/Onix... It's Deoxys/Terraria Calamity Mod

[rough kindle]

try to sing a teraria song

[mortal storm]

definitely looking forward to the next normal contest already ^-^

[stiff valley]

Dialga

how to have 0 participant in 1 step

[cloud pulsar]

so true

but i want the theme contest those are more fun

[mortal storm]

well fair, theme leads to more mon diversity (obv)

[rough kindle]

I know more entries are more work but I think 3 entries was pretty dope. gives enough space for some variety

[torn dawn]

The trick is to use Dialga body and make it cute

[cloud pulsar]

gasmask wants another LC incident with over 1000 sprites

[ashen sapphire]

~

[stiff valley]

the trick is to just make a recolor

[torn dawn]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543958354377179176/1103213680964948018/149.343.png

[rough kindle]

not like that. that's anarchy haha

[torn dawn]

Or barely Dialga

[mortal storm]

is Dialga that hated or ... do I not get sth?

[cloud pulsar]

is hard to sprite

[misty acorn]

Worst mon is Zekrom tho

[cloud pulsar]

i hate the feet

[misty acorn]

by a lot

[normal oyster]

Dialga is fun

[rough kindle]

next theme: space&time and see how many dialga and palkia fusions we get

[normal oyster]

Zekroms colors are suffering

[torn dawn]

Dialga was nice for the one fusion I did with it but I didn’t bring to much Dialga into it because it had such a non-wholesome vibe lol

[livid tulip]

I see worse Pokémon to make fusions tbh. Dialga has a lot of features to work with

[mortal storm]

I mean TOo detailed Legendaries probably always difficult, especially if you are not allowed to change the shape that much... but I think with a little bit of creativity there are ways to make really cool things

[ashen sapphire]

so I originally sprited Devourer of Rocks in Devourer of Gods's palette and submitted this as an alt for the game, posting it to celebrate the more standard-colored one winning c:

[icy vessel]

wow DoG won the contest

[ashen sapphire]

yeap

[misty acorn]

Didn't even know this was a reference

[stiff valley]

Ok but how is it onix and not steelix

[icy vessel]

Will def use it in a playthrough

[mortal storm]

the head, its onix shaped

[normal oyster]

Yea make evo

[ashen sapphire]

look at the shape of the head inside of the mandibles, and the head spike

[cloud pulsar]

oh i see it

[stiff valley]

steelix is the one with a spiky body tho 😛

[mortal storm]

but yeah, evolution of that thing sound good (D

*8D

[ashen sapphire]

they're eldritch space virus protrusions dw about it

if I ever make a matching steelix it'll be bordering on excessively detailed

[icy vessel]

for the evo make the second phase :v

[rough kindle]

works on space logic

[vestal silo]

@slow gyro 7 polls worth of mons!? Damn

[agile tangle]

Yes, astrum deus colors with devourer of gods design

[cloud pulsar]

so... when is the next contest?

[stiff valley]

banned

[valid nacelle]

My boy Onix for the win! 😍
(True, I didn't make the sprite, but Onix IS one of my favorite Pokemon from gen 1, so I see this as a absolute win.)

[crude cedar]

Yooo thanks guys ! Congrats to the winner @ashen sapphire and all the other spriters Who did Amazing sprites! 🤩 And my bro @slow gyro with which I share the podium!

[thick jolt]

gotta say contest didnt go how i expected, congrats everyone!! the golurk was awesome

[fading lodge]

We are almost to my polls in the Little Cup contest! I'm so excited!

[plucky arch]

rn #special-contest-polls

[stiff valley]

you're literally the next one

[crude cedar]

Which One? 😆

[thick jolt]

uhh

yours

oh congrats on second coram

[crude cedar]

Both 😁

Thanks i am very Happy!

[thick jolt]

ohhh

the one that came second

[unreal siren]

Liked all of the sprites! Congratulations!

[crude cedar]

The gap between the First three was of a few votes It means they all got a some love ❤️

Next time no special effects 👀

[fading lodge]

Those three got more votes than I think the contest I won had votes total. this server certainly has grown, and man, the quality is so good!

[ashen sapphire]

Technically Devourer of Gods didn't have any floaty fancy stuff around it and it got first uwu

[crude cedar]

I am talking about mine lol

[late sequoia]

Congrats to the top 3! But frankly good job to everyone who made a Deoxsys sprite, they all came out great

[plucky arch]

proud of #1 for winning without SFX

[cloud pulsar]

the golurk didnt had special effects

[plucky arch]

the meta is in shambles

[crude cedar]

Mine had that ball of Light

[cloud pulsar]

thats not a special effect

[crude cedar]

No?

[thin dove]

congrats to all the deoxys!

well, 99% of the deoxys

[plucky arch]

since ive been here,,, lemme see, weve had
Animation Meta
Waifu Meta
Horse Meta
Kaiju Meta
SFX Meta

[cloud pulsar]

not really is more a part of the design. a special effect be adding the little miniors or galaxy clouds and something like that

[thin dove]

horse meta?

[plucky arch]

Fantasy Contest was wild dude

[fading lodge]

Wait... I think my win was before your time? Was it really that long ago that I produced a winning sprite?

[plucky arch]

i joined very recently

[crude cedar]

Idk this was my First Time following a contest i guess

I am not sure I was here for the roserade one

[livid tulip]

Maybe polemical question but, how many people voted for the Terraria reference and not for being a fusion? I saw an Evangelion reference in semis too

[crude cedar]

Why 99?

[torpid jolt]

This was my first contest because I've only been active here for like 2 weeks

[plucky arch]

that is something i cant answer but im sure most people voted because the design was cool

[torpid jolt]

Legit didn't know it was a reference.

[mortal storm]

ngl I usually don't get any references if you don't tell me them haha

[crude cedar]

I thought that dusknoir Deoxys would have reached the finals for sure

[livid tulip]

Fair. It's just that I read someone today saying "Please Terraria win" until someone mentioned the Rule 7.
I didn't know what they mean until now

[mortal storm]

in this case I haven't known the game it was referenced too at all, so even then it wouldn't "helped"

[late sequoia]

I joined during the Rescaled fantasy contest. Also interesting to see my top 2 for LC, I didn't expect my number 2 at all.

[mortal storm]

it was just my fav design from the beginning ^-^

[thin dove]

the 1% is mine lmao

[mortal storm]

but I was - like usual - in love with many sprites honestly

[crude cedar]

Oh sure congrats to you too so we reach 100% 🤩

[mortal storm]

since semi finals it felt like impossible to vote ... kind of a least.
I mean there was always one I liked the most, but still it felt so bad not voting for the other ones simultaneously haha

[slow gyro]

It wasn’t a reference lol

[late sequoia]

We all win in the end with all these amazing sprites being added in to the game

[mortal storm]

indeed

[stiff valley]

Imagine winning a contest

could not be me

[mortal storm]

(I mean I'll never play the game, cause I have no devices where the game would work BUT hypothetically ... it for me its alright to see them all here on the server, in let's plays or different tools ^-^)

[thin dove]

i sincerely doubt i deserve that, but thank you

[plucky arch]

fairly certain we lost the contests in the worst way possible

[cloud pulsar]

you sure about that hero?

[stiff valley]

At least YOU didn't have to use the TERRIBLE bot

[livid tulip]

I mean, everyone, including the winner, told that it was literally Devourer of Gods from Terraria

[thin dove]

i thought it was inspired by terraria, i didn't think it was a 1 to 1 reference

[plucky arch]

i am the 1 percent

[cloud pulsar]

its from a terraria mod

[crude cedar]

I would have added some black outline tho

[thin dove]

i'm curious about horse meta

[crude cedar]

[torpid jolt]

Horse? Or gear?

[livid tulip]

It was fun that Golurk/Deoxys and Deoxys/Golurk were in the finals (and both were my faves in finals actually)

[plucky arch]

i was rooting for the Probo

[slow gyro]

Sorry I missread, I thought you were talking about my Torterra

[plucky arch]

i refuse to explain Horse MEta

[late sequoia]

I'm happy Golurk is getting love in this game. One of my favorite Pokemon

[plush vale]

I thought the seaking one was really good

[slow gyro]

Tbh this is the first time one of my fusions passed quarters, and I got two fusions on semis and one on third place, so I’m happy with the results

[plucky arch]

Mope7's so ofc it was

[torpid jolt]

I'm just sitting here taking notes on sprite skills so I can be ready for the next contest. (NO RUSH, get ya rest and finish up LC poll ya beautiful mods!)

[livid tulip]

Maybe next time. At least it was an excuse to keep completing my Probodex

[plush vale]

probo bug fusion for the proboscis

[livid tulip]

What

Oh

[stiff valley]

fuck it
next contest is probopass
/j i can't choose like that

[livid tulip]

Imagine a Voltorb contest

[stiff valley]

i would not win

nor tee

kek

someone would pull out a stupid crazy idea and destroy us

[plucky arch]

voltorb contest except its unlimited entries and you cant make sprites of already done mons, but you can submit old ones

[stiff valley]

OMG

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[plucky arch]

((i am rigging the contest))

[fading lodge]

You can submit old sprites only if they were submitted on a Thursday with an odd numbered hour mark.

[livid tulip]

Next contest: fuse a Pokémon that is in IF with one that is not

[crude cedar]

I wanted to win just to put Venonat in the possible future contest

And I Will keep trying

[fading lodge]

I think they've done this before. Can't remember how well it worked.

[stiff valley]

bet

[stiff valley]

even more useless than a voltorb contest lol

[plucky arch]

Moopsten contest:

[livid tulip]

Oh. Welp. To make it different there's a second rule:
You must do it thinking about a possible combo to make it an Alt

[fading lodge]

Oooh, and it has to receive a recognition from the three main Staff Groups (Mods, Sprite Managers, and whatever Kiwi and Frogman fall into) in order to be submitted as a legit contest entry.

[stiff valley]

bet

technically kiwi's just a sprite manager and frogman just a megamod

[fading lodge]

Admins! That's the group they get!

[inland pollen]

Why discord brokes my replies

[fading lodge]

And, it must be submitted during an hour with an even time stamp (seconds included).

[inland pollen]

I was replying to this xD

[plucky arch]

id actually have some i could submit

[stiff valley]

bet

(you can't check seconds )

[plucky arch]

i posted voltorbs almost every day for a month man

[stiff valley]

true

[plucky arch]

Latios and Latias babyyyyy

[fading lodge]

I wonder how many you submitted that would qualify?

[plucky arch]

no more rules youve made your case i win

[fading lodge]

And they can't be made by TeeOhEss /j, That's just an objectively mean rule to get around.

But, it would be interesting to do a "Best sprite submitted on random time frame". That'd be a pretty funny contest.

"Next contest, we are selecting sprites that were made on Odd Numbered days submitted between 8 AM GMT and 8 PM GMT. Starting... Yesterday!"

[plucky arch]

Latios, Latias, Empoleon, and Prinplup

[fading lodge]

That's a lot considering the random criteria.

[plucky arch]

i made over 100 over 3 months and posted (almost) every day

and in batches

[stiff valley]

On a thursday, odd hour, even time

[plucky arch]

[stiff valley]

Joltik, Ariados, Banette, Shinx, Lampent, Shedinja
All of these qualify for thursday, odd hours, even time

[crude cedar]

Wait but I can submit GiF in contests?

[stiff valley]

[crude cedar]

Ok ok i was looking the gallery and saw the gifs

And was like... Wait 🤯

[plucky arch]

nah animation has been banned

[crude cedar]

Why if I can ask?

[limber venture]

They were an instant win button

[crude cedar]

Oh I see yeah, of people love some flames around a Pokémon an animation would be too much to handle

How often we do contest? Once a month?

[plucky arch]

it got to the point where people were doing super low effort animations just to have one and that was the moment they said "ok maybe we stop"

[crude cedar]

Got it

[loud scaffold]

No way calamity reference

Infernum is kicking my ass rn, love to see representation

[loud scaffold]

Animation subsides actual talented spriters for “oh my god it moved that’s so cool” and it got on peoples nerves
