event-general

[grand tusk]

anyway what this all means is use latias features and see if Blaq even notices

[dense jackal]

and yet their megas are identical... WE WERE ROBBED

(And it's probably all because you need to fly on them and gamefreak didn't want to make two different models -.-)

[grand tusk]

its ok their eye color is different

[heady moat]

It's funny how so many of their visual differences aren't even visible on the sprites because of how they're posed

[lunar comet]

what if they did the sprites first and then realized they needed to be more different so they added differences that weren't visible on the sprite

[heady moat]

This is canon to me now

[thick jolt]

they remind me of like paradox forms

the red one is a little more future and the blue a little more past

[grand tusk]

depends on how long it took for them to appear in movies/tv show to the game 🤔

[amber sluice]

Latias is round happy friend shaped for hugging and playing in the sun, Latios is serious streamlined spikey missile shaped man for tactically obliterating threats to his friend shaped family

Also latios has his ears coming out of his jaw like some kind of nerd

[cedar quest]

I know it's been a couple days without LC polls, but there's good reason behind it

Not even personal busy stuff, just a whole lot of prep

I'm minimizing the work I gotta do for the rest of Winner's Round 2, Winner's Round 3, and am also working on slowly preparing Loser's Round 2

[late sequoia]

Nice! And thanks for keeping us in the loop!

[cedar quest]

Basically I'm gettin' a whole lot of prep work done, to make things easier

Of course

[lunar comet]

sounds good, take all the time you need

next comp will have even more entries

[heady moat]

Next LC has unlimited entries PLUS you can submit sprites made before the contest

[cloud solstice]

we'll get the results in 3 years

[plush vale]

you can also submit sprites made after judging finishes to recommence it 😛

[winter sparrow]

you can submit sprites that you have inside your head by telepathically sending them to the judges

[cedar quest]

Speaking of LC polls

I could theoretically have the rest of LC Winner's Round 2 up today

And cut back a bit into Loser's Round 2's work.

In case y'all want something to vote on

[misty acorn]

No, I think the LC polls should be an anual thing imo

[cedar quest]

I mean, it's almost been a week since the last set of polls

Trust me, I do NOT plan on doing polls every single day, not at this stage of LC atleast

But I think you almost might be overestimating how much of WR2 there is left

I have 56 polls left of WR2

[cyan gull]

What are these?

[late sequoia]

The Little Cup polls that are bracket style with loser bracket. The contest was done... many months ago, but, due to a bot issue, the voting was basically on hold indefinitely until the bot responded and a contest manager took up the mantle to do all the polls (GamR is a champion for this).

[cedar quest]

ty

[rough talon]

hiii can i ask someone for advice on which one to submit to the contest in this channel (then to dms) or would that be CHEATING

the then to dms bit is like. showing them the designs after they offer help. hard to epxlain

[plucky arch]

not at all cheating, esp since staff is voting

[slow gyro]

Me every time someone mentions LC

[limpid sphinx]

any staff online? i want to ask one thing 🤓

[plush vale]

sometimes she's a brown ball

[grim ether]

finally got my entry into spritework good lord im exhausted

[quartz locust]

Which one? 😮

[livid tulip]

Latios

[quartz locust]

What about it? 🙂

[livid tulip]

In Latios bodies, using Latios' predominant color for specific details is a yay or a nay for you?

I mean this because it's the most noticeable/identificable difference between Latios and Latias ofc

(I know there are more differences but they are more subtle)

[sick herald]

thats a good question

[misty acorn]

I do like using red and blue in body fusions to make the exact mon clearer

[limpid sphinx]

yea tbh its a fair use for the body color there

[quartz locust]

I'm not huge on it, but don't hate it. 😅

This is still clearly Latios (yes I am using my collab with Skel as an example). 😂

At least to me, anyway.

[sick herald]

do the lati's have any defining traits (aside from colours)

[quartz locust]

Yes, but they're really slight. 😅

[sick herald]

bc the chest triangle is the same, the only thing i can think of the forehead thing

and the eyes, kinda

[livid tulip]

The ears, number of spikes in some parts, "fin legs", eyes...

[quartz locust]

Not kinda, they're different. 😅

Latios is an angry boy. 😛

[dense jackal]

Personality is v different

[sick herald]

i meant kinda bc latios could just be squinting a lot while latias can actually see things

[livid tulip]

But I asked because I was curious, in case someone wanted to make a Latios body or something

[quartz locust]

Latios' ears also curl up most of the time, whereas Latias' curl down. 🙂

[sick herald]

i mean it would just take a longer look to figure out which is which

[limpid sphinx]

blaq, do you know 100% how the contest rules are applied? i have a doubt

[wind matrix]

now make a latias version

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/no-bugs-bunny-nope-gif-14359850

[limpid sphinx]

hi thorns

[wind matrix]

Hello

[quartz locust]

If someone else did that, we'd have a three-person collab.

[quartz locust]

What? 😮

[limpid sphinx]

can i dm you?

[quartz locust]

Ask here. 🙂

[limpid sphinx]

ok so, the fusion for the contest needs to be made after the annoucement, right? but for example a concept for the fusion can be posted before the annoucement? like a real art/sketch?

not my case, just a doubt

[quartz locust]

Hm, I actually don't know. 😅

<@&641801785618726956>

[limpid sphinx]

dw, ty for the attention anyway! 🙂

and thanks for the ping too 😄

[stiff valley]

yes

[hazy tapir]

Phew, finally managed to get my entrance in for the birthday contest!

Was scared I wouldnt have time with all the work Ive got lmao

[arctic garnet]

Well dammit, one day left. I tried, but I've just not been able to come up with a good sprite for this contest. Happy birthday to you three!

[thick harness]

Well i've finished my potential birthday entries; now I just need to choose one...

[quartz locust]

You still have time! 🙂

[arctic garnet]

Alright, I did have something in the works, just have been totally unsatisfied with it. I'll finish it and let you decide if it's worthy. 🙂

[gleaming sand]

For the birthday event, can i remake a fusion i made for the froslass contest?

What i mean is, same fusion and concept, but a new and better sprite

Better shading and more dynamic

[livid tulip]

I think you can, but maybe judges will notice and give you less points for that

[limpid sphinx]

i think its allowed since a revamp its technically a new sprite

[gleaming sand]

"Notice" i literally said it

But yeah fair enough

I'll see what i can do

I know i want to make a yo kai using froslass

And the rokurokubi is so cool (the one i based my contest sprite on)

So i wanted to make something similar

Again, it won't be just a recolor or an edit

It's just the same fusion and inspiration

I'll make a whole new design

[livid tulip]

You can try

[gleaming sand]

Fair

[plucky arch]

as long as you start from scratch, instead of editing the sprite, itll be all good

[steady pasture]

Need some clarification on rule 7, so i can't post my completed sprite anywhere? Not even in teams until it's knocked out of voting? What about sprite-gallery?
First time participating in a contest with votes

[primal iron]

No you can, rule 7 is meant as a way to prevent people from swaying votes, like you can't talk about someone else's entry in positive or negative ways until the contest is over so you don't influence other people. You can still post your own sprite to the gallery/team for technical feedback if you want

it's less relvant atm since only the staff is voting tho

[steady pasture]

Ah

[limpid sphinx]

xenellia is maybe the best teacher that we can have

[primal iron]

[tawdry grove]

just submitted my sprite wehehehe

i might end up deleting and resubmitting at some point if i notice a glaring error but i think its fine??

its not my best work but.

[rotund thorn]

How do I submit my sprite to the Google Drive? ,:^

[quartz locust]

In judged contests, it's pretty much fine. 🙂

[cloud solstice]

you log in your account then drag and drop it in

[rotund thorn]

Same for mobile?

[cloud solstice]

Uuuuhh idk I never submitted on mobile

[rotund thorn]

Ah well, I'll figure it out

Thank you ;p

[rotund thorn]

Got it [big nod]

[wind matrix]

Submitted my sprite. First time I entered a contest in a bit

[primal iron]

who did you make it for?

[wind matrix]

Katten

[lusty crystal]

I would have done Katten but I decided to betray Breloom

[wind matrix]

KAREN

[lusty crystal]

I love autocorrect

[wind matrix]

😂

I wish I could do one for each person, but I don't think I'd have the time for it anyways

[lusty crystal]

Knowing me I would have time for 1 of each Pokemon except I spend 10 minutes on all but one

[wind matrix]

lol

[primal iron]

I've been stupid busy so I'll need to work fast tomorrow

[wind matrix]

gl

I submitted mine today cause I was sure I would miss the deadline tomorrow

[lusty crystal]

I submitted one when it started, then removed it a couple days ago and uploaded a new one

[cedar quest]

Will be doing polls today

Probably ~8 EST???

Keep an eye out for the ping

[west canopy]

What is the time deadline for the contest?

[lunar comet]

Go to #event-announcements and click on where it says "in a day"

Should give you an exact time

[west canopy]

Ty

[agile venture]

Is there a special place where event sprites are submitted? Or do I need to give the sprite a special tag when I put it into Gallery?

[dawn prairie]

The drive linked in the contest announcement

Make sure to change the image name so it has ur username too

[agile venture]

Thanks!

[west canopy]

How do I add to the drive? I can't figure it out

[worthy shuttle]

just added my sprite to the contest, feeling confident

not sure if i can show it cause of rule 7 tho

[west canopy]

I also just added mine

[grim ether]

i was really confident about mine but tbh i took one peek at the submission folder and theres no way im winning anything cause everything in there is fucking amazing

[worthy shuttle]

Yeah

I’m still confident I’ll get like top 50 hopefully

If not that then top 100

Anything higher than I’m gonna eat my door

[cyan gull]

I hope I win mine out of haha funny

[plush vale]

feels more likely to get ya an honorable mention though that's assuming it's also solid technically

[limpid sphinx]

yes you can

[worthy shuttle]

Well alr then

[rapid knot]

There should be a button that says "New +"

[worthy shuttle]

heres my entry

[rapid knot]

Click that, then click "File upload"

[worthy shuttle]

why am i immediately seeing problems

[dense jackal]

Facing directly into camera, bold choice

[worthy shuttle]

lilep

[errant yarrow]

that is just how it goes haha

[worthy shuttle]

You trade a little bit of happiness in exchange for the spriter role

[west canopy]

Can I share my fusion now?

Its not as good as some of yalls but I think he is very cute

[charred zodiac]

its not like anyone's stopping you

[worthy shuttle]

Show

[west canopy]

His name is Crystal

He is not done yet

[surreal folio]

this is bob. bob is a fish. bob is a happy fish. be like bob.

[west canopy]

Hi Bob!

[vestal token]

I wonder if I can get a sprite done for this in a few hours lol

[surreal folio]

i sure can't

👍

[charred zodiac]

i forgot about the contest lol

[vestal token]

I've been trying to get trevenant fusions done and its taken all of my creative brainpower

[surreal folio]

i've been trying to come up with trevenant fusions and it has taken all my brainpower

i still haven't sprited one

[worthy shuttle]

blu tre

[vestal token]

Bob believes in you

[limpid sphinx]

i believe in your potential

go for it if you want 🙂

[quartz locust]

Someone's cocky. 😛

[winter sparrow]

im confident in uhhhh having a sprite in the drive

[quartz locust]

I can change that pretty sharpish.

[livid tulip]

Do it

[vestal token]

procrastination might have ruined it for me

[limpid sphinx]

[limpid sphinx]

lmao can happens x)

[quartz locust]

It hasn't closed yet! 😉

[limpid sphinx]

yea its like 14h left

a lot of time tbh

[vestal token]

yeah but I still have to sleep lol

I'll try my best

[winter sparrow]

i would recommend not doing that because for some reason my gdrive now says this

this isn't a company account or anything either its just my regular account

[quartz locust]

I wouldn't do it anyway, even for a meme. 😅

[sick herald]

blaq what would happen if i say uploaded a blaziken sprite, with 1 changed pixel

but its the colour of a latios head

it therefore meets all spriting requirements

[winter sparrow]

ah nevermind it does still let me upload files into my own Drive. what a weird notification

[quartz locust]

You'd get a 0. 😉

[winter sparrow]

negative one billion points

[quartz locust]

Maybe even disqualified. 😮

im excited to see that bro

i believe in your potential to do that too

[sick herald]

what are blaquaza's peeves again?

[limpid sphinx]

but maybe i can surpass you in this dispute

[misty acorn]

When I tried to get the lowest score once I placed suprisingly high

[limpid sphinx]

and i not even trying

:)

[sick herald]

https://tenor.com/view/obi-wan-oh-i-dont-think-so-star-wars-ewan-mc-gregor-gif-11062544

[vestal token]

make sure to have it too large, with a lot of staircasing and use the wrong colors

[sick herald]

i'll also include lots of sfx

[misty acorn]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/702626820876533851/1022594531188801558/SlowPet.gif

[sick herald]

every single asset possible including sfx

[limpid sphinx]

dont do that to poor blaq, he might have a heart attack!

😢

[sick herald]

non transparent background

[limpid sphinx]

youre goat

[thick harness]

I was tempted to make a "Blaquaza alt" for my entry featuring as many SFX and dithering as I could as a loving joke, but I ultimately decided that was too mean... and also I don't have time for that

[sick herald]

how's it looking so far

[limpid sphinx]

needs more dithering

[vestal token]

Do i see half pixels

[sick herald]

on it

[sick herald]

yes indeed

[vestal token]

[sick herald]

there is no chance im submitting this to anything but the contest

i should also make it rayquaza's dex number

instead of latios

[vestal token]

[limpid sphinx]

savageracoon in a "so much free time" moment

[limpid sphinx]

[vestal token]

I hope it gets a 5 from someone

[sick herald]

i have finished all of my assignments for school

im in a goofy mood

[limpid sphinx]

i cant judge you bro

[sick herald]

but blaq can

[limpid sphinx]

im literally watching a movie trying to found a flygon scene to try to use that as a ref to improve the wings on my sceptile/flygon

how i can judge you

nah i cant

lmao

[sick herald]

two different types of dedication

[limpid sphinx]

free time 🥲

[vestal token]

send me

pls <3

I'm gonna do flygon/giratina

[limpid sphinx]

#1151663706443358258

any feedback appreciated btw

[limpid sphinx]

||this includes yours, @quartz locust ||

[misty acorn]

You chose the right base, let me tell you that...

[quartz locust]

We just won't judge this one if you're trying to make a joke sprite. 😛

[sick herald]

well there goes my 'next 10 minutes' plan

Why is jonkler reacting like that? Is he stupid?

[limpid sphinx]

he just saw me

irl

[vestal token]

Jonkler's sprite got the worst score in the contest

[deep coral]

Hmm

[vestal token]

Is it okay to keep Giratina's gold for its ornaments if I use Giratina as a body?

[silk plank]

probably

[arctic garnet]

It is done! Thanks to fantastic feedback I actually have a submission worthy of Blaquaza's time!

[plucky arch]

10 hours remain

[limpid sphinx]

hey tee

[worthy shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/no-nope-cat-cute-gif-4544032

[vestal token]

submission done

[slow gyro]

I totally forgot about the contest

I made ||Wooper Torterra||

But I was thinking on having another option

Idk if it’ll be ready on time, I’m at work

[heady moat]

Now that is one ||Radical Wooper||

[dense jackal]

I think i just blew all my potential contest spriting time on pointlessly editing someone else's sprite 💀

[limpid sphinx]

i liked that

[cloud solstice]

post the torterra one and replace it by the squirtle if you finish it on time

it was great imo

there's only a little more than 100 entries for now, ig that would make around 33 entries per contest

I wonder if there will be the same amount of entries for each contest, at a glance I think blaq will have a lot of work

[thick harness]

I haven't counted today; but I did a quick count yesterday for how many entries each judge had before I submitted for curiosity; The numbers were actually surprisingly even - two of the judges had the same amount of entries, and the other didn't have too big a lead

[gleaming sand]

let's see if i can actually sprite it

[fading lodge]

I still need to make two birthday sproots for the other two. Not to be judged, just as a birthday gift.

[grand tusk]

I can draw them as stick figures for their birthday gift if they want

[fading lodge]

I was tempted to make one sprite for them both, but that seemed lazy and mean.

[gleaming sand]

holy shit only one hour

definitely not done but almost

it needs some refining

[civic mauve]

Currently torn between two entries. Tho I think I might go with the one I like a bit less since I think it looks like there's less submissions for that judge. Keep going back and forth tho ^^;

[plush vale]

may I see em?

[slow gyro]

I finished my entry but now I’m undecided if I should use main or alt for the contest

And haven’t uploaded it cause I want to see if I get more feedback before the contest ends

[civic mauve]

We're allowed to post here for judged contests right?

[plush vale]

🤷 I think so, but ask a staff member to be sure 😛

[civic mauve]

I usually upload one to the drive early just in case I lose track of time

[civic mauve]

But I am staff

[heady moat]

I have had almost no time to sprite this week, so I'm just happy I was able to finish one entry lol

[slow gyro]

Should I use main? Or the one with the explosion?

[plush vale]

woosh

main prob for entry

[heady moat]

Definitely main

[slow gyro]

Lmao alright

I just think the explosion one is funnier

Well Hero did it first, so at least we'll both get in trouble if we screw up :'P

[plush vale]

tis silly in its own right

[plush vale]

forced to ban each other 😛

[heady moat]

I LOVE the alt, but main feels like a safer bet

[civic mauve]

Here they are

[slow gyro]

https://tenor.com/view/kick-buttowski-gif-18730087

[slow gyro]

Lmao

[plush vale]

first is solid but wouldn't expect an ||unown|| to win any contests

[slow gyro]

Lmao I love the second one

[civic mauve]

Chose it because I wanted something ||small|| to reduce the odds of overshading since it's for Blaq. I'd also just approved a spriter who was a big ||Unown|| fan so I was thinking about them. It was only after I started that I realized I was literally ||giving Blaq an L for his birthday|| tho ^^;

[thin dove]

hooray, i was able to finish off my sprite in time. i hope they like it i'll understand if they don't though

[civic mauve]

Which do folks think I should submit?

[plush vale]

yeah but it's also very little space to show off technical skill

[arctic garnet]

I'd argue pulling off a detailed and good looking sprite so small is itself a show of technical skill

And honestly it does look good

[plush vale]

🤷 might do better in a staff judged contest, idk

clealy we're seeing how it'd do in a non staff one

[thick harness]

It's okay; my Blaquaza birthday sprite (not submitted) was a Garbodor head, so... good birthday wishes all around

[civic mauve]

I think I'm going to go against the voters. I figure the first one'll be funny so I won't regret it even if it loses. Whereas if I choose the second and it does bad I'll wonder if I made the wrong choice

[fading lodge]

I know one thing Blaq really likes in sprites, but I don't want to publicly say it until after the contest ends. But, I know Blaq will appreciate everyone's efforts. He may not grade them high, but he'll appreciate the efforts.

[heady moat]

I'm just hoping to do better than last contest. As long as my work improves, I'm pleased

[fading lodge]

I'm hoping to win, planning to lose.

[limpid sphinx]

definitely torterra

[civic mauve]

I know what he doesn't like. Which is more than I know for the others; so I think that's another reason why I'm leaning towards that entry. I also just like how it came out, while the other one was made today so I can't help but worry that I might be missing something ^^;

[limpid sphinx]

oh i missread the options lmao

[fading lodge]

I will tell you this, based on what I know, you picked the correct sprite of the two of them.

[civic mauve]

Another advantage of using my first choice is I don't expect it to do well (tho I think it could)

[limpid sphinx]

first one looks really cool fr

[wind matrix]

submit that exact image

[slow gyro]

I already finished the sprite and uploaded it to the drive

This time I’m not using sfx

Can you believe it? I made a sprite with sfx and used the no sfx version for the contest

[wind matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-star-spongebob-squarepants-wow-mindblown-gif-13169052

[fading lodge]

Here is the (start of the) sproot I made for Katten. I entered the Blaq contest, but I'm making a sprite (without the time constraints) for both Katten and Skel'n.

[heady moat]

It's so small and happy

[limpid sphinx]

btw if anyone could take a look at my entry to help me see if everything is going well, i would appreciate it 🥲
#1151663706443358258

trying to make the best possible

[rough talon]

god i cant draw rn lmfao

unfortunately might have to sit out next contest

[wind matrix]

submit that

[cloud solstice]

@spring osprey I think you got the wrong numbers, you should use the IF dex number not the officials ones

[gleaming sand]

this is shit

[civic mauve]

I like it! It’s a fun design and I like how you rendered the ice

It does have too many straight diagonal lines tho. See if you can curve the upper part of the arm on the right maybe?

[rough talon]

IT WASNT MEANT TO BE AFUSION. THAT IS MY SONA,

but now that you say it

wtf would my sona be a fusion of

[subtle moss]

that's for IF2 where bill perfected his research and you can fuse Pokémon with your trainer

Where every Pokémon type gives you a different way to traverse the world

[civic mauve]

Ledian/Ralts?

[worthy shuttle]

Plupa/computer idk

[gleaming sand]

hmmmmm

[misty acorn]

not much froslass left without the arms imo

[wind matrix]

1 hour remaining

[fading lodge]

One hour too much. I wanna just be told I wins. I also want to actually have a winning sprite, it'd be nice.

[fading lodge]

The bubbles don't scream Trev of Froslass to me. Sorry.

[gleaming sand]

why are you apologizing

[main hare]

submitting 30 minutes before contest end

[winter sparrow]

submit .05 seconds before contest end

[fading lodge]

Because conditioning over a lifetime has told me to apologize when I make potentially disappointing comments?

[fading lodge]

Be a chad, submit after contest end before they close the folder.

[main hare]

spriters hate him, with this one weird trick

[fading lodge]

Granted, I decided two days ago I was going to try, then made a sprite in less than 24 hours (I went to bed during part of that feedback time).

[rough talon]

im still worried i didnt get enough feedback on my sprite

[fading lodge]

Maybe... an hour or two worth of spriting time? Being practiced in my personal style helps. And awesome spriters helping me know how to shade (especially when I'm blind to how my sprite is misshaded).

[main hare]

mine is objectively not good, but I gave it my all given the amount of work. and I do loike the sprite i made

[fading lodge]

That's what's ultimately important, doing your best and liking your results.

Tomate, no!

[misty acorn]

I'm not entering, its unfair that Blaq gets a 2nd birthday comp and I only got 1 anyway 😤

[gleaming sand]

auuurgghh

[fading lodge]

Oh, phew, that's fine Tomate.

[heady moat]

Same, got no feedback on mine after a couple of attempts

[wind matrix]

I got none, and there's no more

[gleaming sand]

please tell me it's fine

PLEASE

[misty acorn]

What did you expect me to type?

[misty acorn]

I liked the version with the normal forslass arms more tbh

[rough talon]

ireallythinkthefroslasssleeveswerebetter

[fading lodge]

Something disparaging about loving sprites? IDK, I saw you typing right after I had a feel good moment, and I was worried you'd sarcasm it away.

[gleaming sand]

i am going to kill

someone

[misty acorn]

[rough talon]

did someone tell you the froslass arms were bad or something?

[wind matrix]

loving sprites is lame. no one likes sprites here

[misty acorn]

only rick told them, but they went with it

[fading lodge]

Thorns!

[gleaming sand]

yes, my brain did

i'm tired as fuck

[misty acorn]

I can upload the forslass arm version under my name if you want to submitt both, nobody will notice trust me

[rough talon]

i was going to say

or, rather ask, in regards to this image. Can you spot all the design inspirations

From this horrible doodle i did in 3 minutes

(most of that was because i using weird pen posture)

[heady moat]

Gives me home movies vibes

[fading lodge]

Is it a fusion of Penny, Nurse Joy, and a fly (for flying wings)?

[rough talon]

no but that's because its not pokemon inspired at all

[misty acorn]

he's working at the crusty crab for sure

[rough talon]

HAH yes

that's one of them

there's two more

[misty acorn]

wait I was joking

[rough talon]

LOL

my sona does look like this...dam

[cloud solstice]

50 minutes left

[rough talon]

my list of inspirations is really weird because its technically a list of characters i """kin"""

but i feel like the other 2 might be obvious if you. uhhhh. Um

[fading lodge]

Not obvious to me. But I also know very few pop culture references. Or indie references. Or references in general.

[rough talon]

i was gonna say

if you look at my profile on discord the other two might be obivous but it felt too on the nose as far as "hints" go

[gleaming sand]

THERE IS NO TIME LEFT BASICALLY

HELP

HOW'S THIS

[rough talon]

I THOUGHT THEY WRE GOINT TO CONNECT TOT HE GREEN

[fading lodge]

I think it's good.

[rough talon]

idk man you might as well submit this LFMAOFOA

[fading lodge]

No, connect to the head.

[rough talon]

thats fair

[gleaming sand]

i am so sleepy i swear

[fading lodge]

That's where Froslass's arms connect.

[rough talon]

W

Wait

😨

HOW DID I NOT NOTICE

[gleaming sand]

WHAT ARE THEIR DEX NUMS

HELP

[quartz locust]

What on earth is happening? 😮

[rough talon]

we're dying over here

wait

blaq close your eyes

[gleaming sand]

THE DEX NUMS BLAQ

WHAT ARE THEY

[rough talon]

nevermind its not your contest

[quartz locust]

Hasn't the deadline passed by almost 12 hours? 😅

[gleaming sand]

no?

[rough talon]

Nuh uh

[quartz locust]

Hm, the 1-day announcement gave a different time. 😮

[cloud solstice]

439.429

[quartz locust]

We're not at 439 yet, are we? 😅

[fading lodge]

Blaq, I made you a birthday sproot. Happy birthday!

[fading lodge]

We are, because 436 and 437 were not revealed yet.

[quartz locust]

Thanks, Naka! I think you were the one that I highlighted last year. ❤️

[quartz locust]

[cloud solstice]

we are #announcements message

[fading lodge]

Part of why I re-entered this contest. Tried to mimic the results of what you liked, hopefully I did you proud.

[cloud solstice]

but it is wierd

[misty acorn]

Blaq just don't scroll up too far please

[quartz locust]

Honestly, everyone participating in the contest was just a really nice thing. 🙂

[gleaming sand]

CAN SOMEONE CHECK IF MY SPRITE IS IN THE DRIVE

I CAN'T TELL IF IT WAS UPLOADED

im going insane

ok i think it was

god what a bad sprite

[gleaming sand]

at least i finished it

[winter sparrow]

👍

[fading lodge]

Poor Rick. F in the chat for them, they have lost their mind. May they rest in peace now.

[winter sparrow]

man i cant believe someone else did the same fusion as me at the last second. i think that's illegal (/joke)

[misty acorn]

True, now I'm glad that I'm not getting another birthday comp because I would have hated to see this sprite in my drive

[fading lodge]

Is that how you young'ns would have said that?

[gleaming sand]

You're so kind

❤️

You know what

Being tired distorts the mind

At least mine

It's not bad

I mean, it's not good either

[cloud solstice]

I feel so old now thx

[plush vale]

ancient suicune

[cloud solstice]

almost 10 years ago

[fading lodge]

Hmmm... Interesting... So that's how we do it... Hmmmm....

[gleaming sand]

Damn i was 7 when it was created

[lusty crystal]

You’re almost 10 years old

[misty acorn]

Damn i was 7 when you were created

[fading lodge]

I had been married three years when it was created.

[gleaming sand]

Old

[cloud solstice]

a tomate teaching an egg on how to talk like young peoples from 10 years ago

[gleaming sand]

I'm still a youngling

[winter sparrow]

i was still happy when it was created

[misty acorn]

I mean F is still common internet slang today

It has just been abreviated to only "f" lmao

[cloud solstice]

I was in middle school/hight school or whatever the american equivalent is of collège

[misty acorn]

I'm rather old but have grown up with gen 4 than whatever gen you had to grow up with

[indigo ice]

caught the sickness so alas I was not able to do a good sprite for this contest

[fading lodge]

I still remember the day my parents bought Pokemon Blue and Red.

[cloud solstice]

this reminds me I really need to go to bed

getting old and all that stuff

[plush vale]

dis you?

[fading lodge]

If I may offer a PSA, stay young, getting old sucks.

[misty acorn]

I think it's save to say that I've hit the sweet stop of growing up in the 3 or 4 gen long span of actually good pokemon games

[plush vale]

so like eat healthy excercise get enough sleep etc?

[fading lodge]

More or less. Except less gray, my grandfather had gray/black hair up until the day he died (he was in his 90's).

[cloud solstice]

don't get older, don't celebrate you birthdays to stay young

[steel vortex]

30 minutes

[quartz locust]

Are we the same age? 😮

I mean that doesn't shock me, but I always imagined you were a sagely, older fellow. 😂

[misty acorn]

I never get why people anticipate contest entries closing, like, its not like anything is actually going to happen, where is this dopamine coming from?

[misty acorn]

I think we knew that? Not sure xD

[fading lodge]

That's accurate, I'll be the guy walking in and being concerned I offended my pokemon 2000 years ago.

[plush vale]

careful you'll undo teh very driving forces of this server

[cloud solstice]

watching people rushing to get their entries in at the last second

[plush vale]

3,000*

[misty acorn]

wait this guy is older than jesus?

[fading lodge]

If I saw your ages correctly, you both feel way young to me. Which is crazy to me.

[gleaming sand]

What about me

[wind matrix]

everyone's panicking because of the deadline

[gleaming sand]

I'm not even an adult yet

[fading lodge]

You are a wee babby.

[gleaming sand]

I wouldn't want it any other way

[quartz locust]

Probably, I just forget things a lot. 😂

[misty acorn]

but actually, what was the gen you grew up with then? gen 6?

[quartz locust]

I turned 24 4 days ago. 😛

[cloud solstice]

I think I'm the same age as blaq, which is crazy bc I see I him as much older

[gleaming sand]

None. I didn't have a console when i was very young

[misty acorn]

I still have a few months

[plush vale]

oh yeesh it was far back

[gleaming sand]

But my forst one was gen 7

[cloud solstice]

I have a few days

[misty acorn]

Okay you actually hit the only good 3d pokemon game

[gleaming sand]

Lmao

[fading lodge]

So young. When I was 24, I had been married two years.

BTW, for those concerned, I'm still happily married to my sweetheart. Our marriage is still going strong.

[gleaming sand]

I still dont know how old you are

[misty acorn]

Marying with 22 is insane to me

but nice to hear that everything is going well

[quartz locust]

Oh look at Mr Has a Stable and Supportive Relationship over here. 😂

[cloud solstice]

married??

[fading lodge]

I got married less than a week after my 22nd birthday. When you find the one, you find the one.

[quartz locust]

I've been to one wedding this year, and will be going to another one next year. 😅

[wind matrix]

I'm 32 and I've only dated a guy once

[gleaming sand]

I'm Mr never had and probably never will have any type of romantic relationship

[crisp cargo]

what the hell you're way younger than I thought you were

[wind matrix]

Blaq is babi

[lusty crystal]

Love is something I hope to just skip

[cloud solstice]

I thought blaq was like in his 30's

[crisp cargo]

i legit thought blaq was like, in his late 20s/early 30s

[gleaming sand]

I need it but i don't deserve it

[heady moat]

Not with that attitude

[misty acorn]

Look blaq, this is what happens when you use 😄 and 🙂 all the time

[gleaming sand]

I'm always negative about stuff like this

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/savingprivateryan-ww2-old-soldier-matt-damon-gif-4203998

[gleaming sand]

Because i don't want to come off as pretentious

[lusty crystal]

😅

[winter sparrow]

yeah i aint winning this good luck though

[wind matrix]

you can make yourself look older by using :-)

[winter sparrow]

:^)

[cloud solstice]

not true he uses 😅 and 😛 too

[wind matrix]

:-o

[slow gyro]

Lmao same

[gleaming sand]

I don't say I'll find someone one day because i think someone would go "with how you look?"

[misty acorn]

😅 is one of the few generic emotes I also use a lot, because I don't think there really isn any good alternative

[crystal basalt]

22 minutes lads

[gleaming sand]

Of course it never happened and probably never will

[crystal basalt]

the time approaches

[gleaming sand]

It's an irrational fear

But it stops me from being positive about almost everything

[fading lodge]

Stay positive folks. Don't rush love. But when you find it, do your best to be involved and the partner that your partner deserves. And that includes being healthy and independent. Learn to be both with someone and by yourself.

Anyways, life is just strange. You never know how it will go.

[lusty crystal]

I will focus on finding love the day I die in order to troll them

[slow gyro]

Im 22 and I’ve only have been in a relationship once, during highschool, during one month

[cloud solstice]

I'm not looking for a relationship for now, maybe later when it doesn't feel exhausting

[graceful plank]

I'm 32 and I'm in a 10+ year relationship

[undone crag]

Don't figure it's even close to a win but I do like my entry to a reasonable degree.

[fading lodge]

I ended up marrying my best friend. We had been friends for years, and then one day, I realized that she was the one for me. Like everyone, we've had our ups and downs, but I can honestly say I'm happier than I could be if I weren't married to the love of my life.

[slow gyro]

I just want someone to hug me and tell me they love me and ask me if I would still love her if she was a worm, an apple, a sofa, a pie or any other random things

[fading lodge]

This feels a bit like my situation, but different.

[lusty crystal]

Hearing how old people are makes me realise just how young I am compared to most people on this server

[quartz locust]

Ooh la di da. 😛

[gleaming sand]

God yes
Except for the last part

[fading lodge]

I don't get the "would you love me if I was a worm" thing. My wife is not that type of girl. She does ask "do you still love me", but never, "would you love me in these weird and unrealistic expectations".

[gleaming sand]

I don't wanna hear that bullshit

[lusty crystal]

Hug an apple and have it explode all over you

[fading lodge]

Hearing some of these ages makes me feel less old. But, I have an old soul and act old, so... I'm still basically the server grandpa.

[slow gyro]

One day I’ll be loved, i can assure you

[fading lodge]

I believe in you!

[misty acorn]

Trust me, the average age of users on this server is like 14

[slow gyro]

Im an old man that doesn’t know how to use discord ||Im 22||

[cloud solstice]

I think people ask it more to mean "would you still love me if something terrible happened to me like an accident or a disease that would change fundamentally how I look or act?"

[fading lodge]

Coincidentally, the average maturity of the server is 12.

[lusty crystal]

Nice so I’m average

[graceful plank]

we are the outliers, most people in most discord are like max 25

[gleaming sand]

I would take that seriously

[graceful plank]

and yes there are many much younger people

[gleaming sand]

But not "what if i was a worm"

No, no i wouldn't still love you

You'd be a worm

[slow gyro]

Lmao

[wind matrix]

accurate

[heady moat]

Worms are rad tho

[cloud solstice]

what would you do tho? if you loved one was turned in a worm?

[fading lodge]

This may be getting a bit personal, but I call my wife my "one in a million girl" , because those one-in-a-million medical things seem to happen to her a lot.

[lusty crystal]

That’s also me depending on the day of the week

[slow gyro]

Get turned into a worm too

[gleaming sand]

Realize that something supernatural is trolling me

I would probably treat it as a breakup

[misty acorn]

Worms can survive being split in two, so you could double your loved one

[gleaming sand]

We can't be together in any way

It would hurt for very little time

[errant yarrow]

what would you do with the worm? release it?

keep it?\

[gleaming sand]

Because I'd realize it's

It's a worm

So i have no regrets

[lusty crystal]

Eat it

[fading lodge]

Hang on, brb, I just got a funny idea.

[wind matrix]

eat the worm

[summer nebula]

didn't realize the deadline, had to rush a partially done sprite to completion in a couple hours

[gleaming sand]

It would die shortly

Release it probably

[misty acorn]

And then just wait for them to grow out again, and split them again and again, repeating the process until you have enough worm to fill up an entire diving suit with them, so that you can finally hug your loved one again

[gleaming sand]

I don't want worms in my house

[gleaming sand]

Wrong

[heady moat]

Better those than silverfish

[errant yarrow]

no silverfish are badass

[gleaming sand]

That's flat worms

Not earthworms

[heady moat]

They're cool as hell but I don't want an infestation in my house

I have books

[gleaming sand]

Flat worms can indeed regrow any part of their body forever

[lusty crystal]

I’d rather a goldfish

[gleaming sand]

Killing them is insanely hard

It involves fire, Thats for sure

[sick herald]

they never specified what worm

[gleaming sand]

Ok but seriously, would i love my partner if they lost a leg?

Why wouldn't i

[gleaming sand]

The question is about earth worms

[young plover]

uh oh 8 minutes

[gleaming sand]

That's what most people know as worm

[sick herald]

https://tenor.com/view/reignald-monsterhouse-eat-hungry-munch-gif-19913088

[cloud solstice]

if it's a flatworm you're in for a surprise

[limpid sphinx]

i submit my sprite just now

[crisp cargo]

i won't be seeing you later

[lusty crystal]

I hope this wins

[limpid sphinx]

[sick herald]

yippee

[sick herald]

are u a worm?

[crisp cargo]

no like, that's the thing he says before that gif

[sick herald]

oh, i havent seen monster house in a while

[gleaming sand]

Can't wait to not win

(My sprite was rushed as fuck)

[fading lodge]

I spoke to the wife, and it's decided, she really doesn't get or understand the "what if I was a worm" thing. My sister and I had to explain it to her.

[quartz locust]

I can't wait to judge you all. 🙂

Especially Tomate, even though I don't think he entered. 😛

[misty acorn]

I can cook something up in 5 minutes 🏃‍♂️

[lusty crystal]

Im just hoping for a rating of 3 or over 🙏🙏🙏

[sick herald]

voltorb sprite with ALL the dithering

[heady moat]

I made a joke about the worm thing and my wife was like "What the HELL are you talking about" since she had apparently never heard of it

[quartz locust]

https://tenor.com/view/trash-adventure-time-garbage-lemongrab-dumpster-fire-gif-20383813

https://tenor.com/view/goat-jumping-into-trash-im-done-over-it-goodbye-trash-gif-14154032

[fading lodge]

My wife is the same. She doesn't usually follow the "trends", goes her own flow. Doesn't mean she doesn't get into what is popular, but she does what she wants at her own pace.

[misty acorn]

Oh she watches One Pace? thats nice

[fading lodge]

When the contest is over, tell me what you think of my sprite. I didn't want to ping you in the sprite thread since I was making it for your birthday contest, but I'd love to know your thoughts on it later.

[cloud solstice]

annnnnd it's over

[young plover]

I got them in. They're absolutely unpolished but they're in, unlike last time

[sick herald]

darn

i didnt make the voltorb/voltorb in time

[fading lodge]

No, she watches Gray's Anatomy. A lot.

[misty acorn]

my mom watches that too

[cloud solstice]

gn people

[young plover]

life really chose to kept me busy so i couldn't make that sprite better in time for the contest lol
will make better later for implementation into the actual game of course
i don't think it technically breaks any rules, just lacking some polish

[misty acorn]

I've never seen anyone type in discord like this

either its

like this

or just a new message every line

[young plover]

lol

[thin dove]

i don't think worms can survive being split in half

i'm pretty sure that's a myth and the worm just dies

a starfish, on the other hand, can survive being split in half, and doing that to your partner would just recreate that one plotline in Animorphs

[misty acorn]

Now we're asking the real questions

[raven pulsar]

both sides die

[misty acorn]

not necessarily

what if you cut it unevenly and have a 95% side and a 5% side

then the 95% side might live

[sick herald]

wouldn't that be like cutting off its toe or smth

[misty acorn]

if the toe was the lenght of its entire body

you could say... from toe to toe

[undone crag]

Oh by the way not like it will matter for me but do the winners of these contests get an entry in the bonus mon raffle?

[fading lodge]

That is a good question. I don't know.

[plush vale]

I was assuming not as unrelated

[fading lodge]

I was under the impression the only raffle was for the "winner" of the Trevenant Rush, but I would not be surprised if there was another raffle I missed the memo on.

[winter sparrow]

before then there was talk of something involving the contest winners

[vestal token]

I submitted a worm

[fading lodge]

Okay, Skel'n's mons were Lileep, Jirachi, Flygon, Sceptile, and Cofagrigus. All of them have already been fused with Giratina.

So the question is, which one do I fuse with Giratina?

[lusty crystal]

All of them

[undone crag]

Lileep could be fun

[vestal token]

Giratina gang

All of them

[fading lodge]

I figured since I did Dialga for Blaq and Palkia for Katten, Skel'n gets Giratina.

May have to be Lileep. It seems like the one I can make a design without just copying someone else's idea.

[worthy shuttle]

hu

[slow gyro]

This just reminds me of one meme in specific, there’s no context

Mental agility

[vestal token]

Is that his brain dodging a bullet

[broken robin]

Some worms can. I cut a flatworm cleanly in half in a bio lab and the bottom half regrew a head. Won’t work with garden variety worms

[slow gyro]

Yes

Idk if it’s from Baki or jojos

[errant yarrow]

looks like baki

[slow gyro]

But tbf i can see either a Baki character or a jojos character doing that

[steel vortex]

That is not Jojo
But omg the brain mastering

[steel vortex]

That is true lol

[sick herald]

if they're moving their brain, def baki

[silk plank]

jojos stopped having the super buff gigantic fridge characters after part 3

theyre kinda slim but defined now

[silk plank]

god baki is so stupid wtf is happening here lmao

i need to watch it

[slow gyro]

Yes

[silk plank]

everything ive seen from baki is like a borderline shitpost especially

[rapid knot]

For some reason, I didn't think 'How is he moving his brain?', 'There's not enough room for that,' or other sensible thoughts. I thought, 'That's going to give him a concussion in the left hemisphere.'

[limpid sphinx]

i watched the first season

[slow gyro]

Lol

[silk plank]

jojos is complicated but compared to this its like wtf

[slow gyro]

Of Baki?

[limpid sphinx]

yea

entirely

[slow gyro]

Baki is actually a cool show

I like it a lot

[limpid sphinx]

the ali ref is so cool

[slow gyro]

Im pretty sure u can beat pickle in a fight ||Not really||

[limpid sphinx]

bro is a giant lol

[slow gyro]

And I’m small, everyone is a giant for me

That never stopped me before

[limpid sphinx]

well

im 175

not that bad for a football player so im happy with that

[sick herald]

baki's my second favourite anime

i just love how dogshit stupid it is

[fading lodge]

Anyone here wanna help me brainstorm Giratina/Lileep ideas for my birthday sprite for Skel'n? I'm having trouble figuring out how to make it unique.

[sick herald]

shadow tentacles

[fading lodge]

#1152034143673253919 is the thread, but shadow tentacles were done by the existing sprite.

[sick herald]

hmmm

idk then

[plucky arch]

who uh,, whos gonna tell em

[fading lodge]

I entered Blaq's contest, but I'm making sprites for Katten and Skel'n anyways.

[plucky arch]

ohhhh okay

speaking of im sorting out the sprites rn

some go for multiple so ill gather all those afterwarss

[fading lodge]

I'll admit, I'm theming my sprites, because I did a Dialga fusion for Blaq, a Palkia fusion for Katten, so I'm trying Giratina for Skel'n, but it's proving challenging.

[dense jackal]

If giratina doesn't work out, you could always do arceus or bidoof

[wind matrix]

ah yes, the trio: dialga, palkia, and bidoof

[late sequoia]

I had planned to enter the b-day contest but got distracted by the dlc and other things. I had even started a custom base. Will still make the sprite (lileep/snorunt) but gonna take my time.

Bidoof, the true God if Pokémon.

[outer valve]

im pretty excited for the contest results

[west canopy]

Same

[plucky arch]

just finished sorting them, other then outliers which i am going to dm folks about

[limpid sphinx]

how many entries this time?

[plucky arch]

im counting rn

[sick herald]

im calling around 200

[midnight pumice]

Common bidoof W

[plucky arch]

129 entries

[limpid sphinx]

oooh

[sick herald]

i was way-off

[limpid sphinx]

so its like +/- 43 per birthday person

well

if i hit a top 50 im happy

[plucky arch]

it is fairly split

ill reveal the numbers when i get responses from the 2 unknowns

[limpid sphinx]

oh and

have a froslass/jirachi that dont mean on the file name which birthday person they choose

you need to dm they too? idk

[plucky arch]

yep already have

theres a Froslass/Jirachi and a PorygonZ/Cofagrigas

who prolly just forgot lmao theyre not in trouble or anything

[limpid sphinx]

oh i just noticed a froslass/porygon-z too

that is using the national dex numbers

oh both are from katten

sorry i forgot lol

[steady pasture]

Quite curious how i'll do this time around

[rough talon]

im not staff nor have i done anything useful for this server but there should be a birthday contest for me .

Totally

[amber sluice]

I mostly entered because I had a concept I'd been sitting on and the contest served as a motivation to actually get to work on it, but I'm interested to see how well I managed to read Blaz and produce something to that taste. I typically tend to lean a bit more on Gen 3 styles than 5, so I'm hoping I managed it pretty well.

[rough talon]

wait i lied i was the catalyst to tee getting their color

Nvm

im not staff and i've only done one useful thing for this server but there should be a birthday contest for me .

[rough talon]

was going to ask what your entry is then i realized that voting isnt over lmfao

im sure you did fine

oh yeah i saw it and it looks great

[amber sluice]

Thank you, I kind of want to slap all kind of birds on Bastiodon and make a wider variety of ceratopsians with feathers but it is such a challenge making him recognizable without the big square chasmosaurus type frill.

[plucky arch]

you were?

[rough talon]

yeah lmao i put the suggestion in the channel

kind of weird how in every community im in i never really do anything super involved but rather just chill on the sidelines and give an affirming thumbs up

i guess it fits my personality pretty well as i like talking to people but being the center of attention leaves me feeling weird

sometimes its nice if people are supportive but

Not for me

my most popular creations are these in the tboi community but honestly i rarely ever really dwell on like. Many people using them

scares me yet amuses me when someone thinks of me as "the plumg guy" or "the lok guy"

[limpid sphinx]

rule 7 dont changing nothing here ig, since is a staff vote

btw i really liked your sprite kaegro, one of my favs for blaq tbh

[rough talon]

i just found it anyways teehee

[amber sluice]

I do a similar thing, I just kind of hang out and lurk in things and if/when I feel like I've got something to say or contribute. I've been a bit more active in general lately cause I'm out of work so frequently

And thankye I tried real hard

[plush vale]

bol

[steady pasture]

lmao, someone submitted a Nihilego sprite as a joke

[thin dove]

outliers...?

[thin dove]

how's the feedback on those last 2 spriters comin'

[plucky arch]

got a response from one, other one still not yet

if they dont respond for a while (itll prolly just be thrown into the one with the least entries)

[worthy turtle]

@quartz locust I think I speak for eveyone when I say thank you for all the hard work you've done for the community, whether it be making sprites, giving advice, or reviewing spriter applications. Without you, i dont know about the others, but i certainly wouldnt be where i am now without your hard work. So thank you, and enjoy your birthday contest

speaking of which what is this actually celebrating?

[late sequoia]

Blaquaza, Katten, and Skel'ns Birthday and Skel'ns retirement

[broken robin]

This was a fun format for a contest, shame it’s the last

[slow gyro]

||That we know of||

||I’ll do everything in my power to have a birthday contest next year||

||Even if I need to organize it myself ||

[eager raven]

Had a dream about this birthday contest that someone named "Epic Johnson" won all three...somehow, and instead of a second or third place for them around 16 other participants just got "cool awards"

New Mon when?

[limpid sphinx]

its tropius

frog told me

on the blaqs birthday party

[slow gyro]

:D

[plucky arch]

okay now hero help me convince frog to let the new staff add a mon

[grand tusk]

Frogman should let the new staff pick a mon that can never be added ever instead

[slow gyro]

YES YES YES YES

[plucky arch]

Froakie

perfect, cause horrid chaos

[grand tusk]

killing only greninja would cause so much hate, I agree with that choice

I'd love to have a birthday contest, but that requires me to know what my favorite Pokemon are, and that's hard.

[misty acorn]

When in doubt, say Skiploom

[limpid sphinx]

i can bet that pikachu is gonna be on the 5

[fading lodge]

But then, why would I have a contest where I already made all the sprites?

[limpid sphinx]

XD

put raichu on the slot

[cloud solstice]

eggs

[limpid sphinx]

oh no

togepi, chansey, exeggcute contest

[fading lodge]

Same problem. I did all the eggs.

[fading lodge]

Now there's an idea...

[limpid sphinx]

[cloud solstice]

a themed contest would be great, there has been some before right?

[grim ether]

im still saying we should host a contest for middle evos

[cloud solstice]

sfx contest when?

[limpid sphinx]

yea

[limpid sphinx]

i thinked about that too fr

[grand tusk]

Me having a favorite pokemon contest (most of them aren't in the game)

[limpid sphinx]

can be neat

LC4 but now using middles too lmao

100k entries

[thin dove]

oh jesus

given how many entries were in LC3 alone i don't think that's gonna happen. it broke the bots so bad

[grim ether]

literally just middle evos/anything

[heady moat]

I will do so many Seadra

[grand tusk]

I will sponsor LC4 myself and allow unlimited entries with a bigger prize pool

winner gets a meta quest 2

[steady pasture]

I agree middle evos has a much larger shortage than LCs

[thin dove]

winners get a what?

[steady pasture]

Actually is it possible to add a rule that only fusions without a main sprite are allowed at the time of the announcement?
Given Kiwi now only releases spritepacks at the end of the month, it is possible to host a contest early in a month and have that rule
Would also serve to fill up the missing main sprites mons

[dense jackal]

And the winner gets a rolex!!! *smashes hand on the table*

(this reference is so niche it was not worth the effort to type it 😆 )

[limpid sphinx]

no

better

just middle evos/middle evos

[steady pasture]

^

[steel vortex]

MC contest when?

[grim ether]

middle evos/middle evos would be nice too but i think middle evos/anything would deal better with the issue of "no one wants to do middle evo fusions ever"

[half rapids]

I was considering doing a bunch of them, but I only really have time for the contest and maybe one more sprite.

So I agree, middle evos need some love.

And an event is a great way to do that!

[rough talon]

not even in isaac discord

[grand tusk]

I use the barf SUBREDDIT.

[rough talon]

wait

is that

on the subreddit

you lied to me.

[thin dove]

[grand tusk]

I was just making a joke on what you had said about being the plumg guy

[rough talon]

💥

[cedar quest]

Dw, I can def work something up in the future

((See: GamR's Birthday Blow0ut ))

....which there was never a podium for, huh?

Or well, one that was posted into #contest-gallery.

Lemme do that rq

[grand tusk]

when next event?

[cedar quest]

If I'm correct

Saturday

[fading lodge]

That was my guess, and I wasn't an Event Manager!

[cedar quest]

SMH you waste your question on when and not what

[limpid sphinx]

mini contest >:)

[limpid sphinx]

well, whats the next event?

[cedar quest]

Too late

[fading lodge]

SMH, I'm probably going to miss the announcement of the new mon because I'll be busy running around a park.

I'm doing a thing where it's like an escape room, but it's a bunch of geotagged areas around a city park. It's pretty awesome.

My siblings and I did this last year, and we're doing it again tomorrow. We won fastest time last year, and we're going to go for fastest time this year.

[cedar quest]

that sounds sick

I wanted to make a playing PoGo joke, but then that'd allude to Meltan...which I wish LMAO

Anyways

[limpid sphinx]

[cedar quest]

Sheets are finished

Be ready to vote soon

[grand tusk]
