Tbh no. None of you have any chill. You've spent the last two weeks being excited about being cruel to people who didn't draw little pictures on the internet.

The managers are doing their punishment and nobody else should be allowed to say anything

bright crow
#

yeah last we want is people to leave the server because of a scarlet letter

#

i make jokes about public stoning but only bc it is impossible for me to find these people and throw rocks at them

#

not that i would, but its funny.

sick herald
dense jackal
#

Ever since the person left the server people have been making it pretty clear how they'd treat the ones who are dubbed as "punishable"

versed ridge
#

I hope the person doing my request follows through with my "specific notes"

#

It's the main reason I requested it in the first place

dense jackal
#

How would I know, they left the server 😆

#

(And GamR was smart enough to censor their name in the spreadsheet before releasing it)

sick herald
#

oh were they the blacked out person?

dense jackal
#

Yeah, probably 😛

sick herald
#

i didnt see anyone being mean, it was all jokes from what i saw

lusty pewter

they could've sent messages in their dms

#

What happens is I forget what request I made? Like, I did the request I was given, I just forgot what request I asked...

lusty pewter
#

maybe they'll send you the sprite your secret spriter made

#

or they'll released another google sheet list of who got who's request

Easy fix, just check each and every of the secret spriter posts until you see the mon combination you asked for 9head

lusty pewter
#

they don't remember what they requested tho lol

proven heart
#

Is there a list of secret spriter sprites that need replacements

#

Might be able to crank one out after work

lusty pewter
#

wdym "need replacement"? as in list of request that didn't get completed?

#

if so then the manager will sent out those request at (probably) the end of the deadline to volunteers and those volunteers will complete those leftover request

#

if you want to join you can dm a contest manager like gamr and they'll put you in the volunteer list

cursive brook
#

So they could be expemted

lusty pewter
#

oh you mean tell them that you can't do the sprite... right?

idk i just viewed that as a running joke and didnt actually think itll get in (at least anytime soon)

#

I think most people (at least the people who don't hate bruxish) just thought it was others being funny or being couter culture. I, for one, didn't really expect it to happen although I thought it might be likely

Just wanna say, my request was Noivern/Growlithe, and not only did I get pinged in my request thread, they used my base too @deep gyro heehee Icri it was hilarious ahaha, and the result is SO cute omg, the Noibat/Growlithe family square is complete ohyes

I gave out a doozy knowing I'd never ever touch it

Forretress/Articuno was my doing

open folio

I requested a sprite I thought about making myself for about five minutes before deciding nah, now I’m thinking it was a little cruel. (I also got pinged in the thread, but avoided the picture until I saw it in the gallery)

#

It was ||Heracross/Sharpedo|| and it looks great!

Next contest I'm gonna try

My request was Typhlosion/Aurorus and it looks great Fancy great work

i hope the guy making my request is fine i can change it if its too hard i dont want his name on red

@bleak flint Thanks for the cute Bibarel/Gible ❤️

I made the request before I learned that due to changes to the naming of fusions, the combo is no longer called "Bible", but you still turned that joke request into something super cute smilemeowth

I haven't even looked for my request yet. Waiting for the deadline

elder venture
#

I can now confirm, the fusion that I saw which was not tagged as secret spriter was my request. Silly goose. They're in the green though (and they did great!).

#

That also means I will not be getting two sprites 😔

But one is good.

I'm able to help with the replacement ones o/

hollow gull
#

if there are any replacement ones that seem simple/up my alley I will gladly do that, most of my trouble with my current request was due to rust+spriting from scratch

#

I feel less rusty and will probably avoid spriting from scratch

I am gonna wait to see who requested the one I made

We got 21 red names, which sounds like a lot...but out of 279 of yas...that's under 10%, and who knows I may have missed some still

I'm still pretty down to do one.

civic mauve
cedar quest
#

Nope

#

The contest is just more of a bonus anyways

#

Ik it may seem like the same yearly Secret Spriter minus the punishment scare tactic, but I tried a lot of different things this year, and have good ways to improve a lot of things for next year.

#

Like last year, the big problem was incomplete requests, with that problem solved I'm able to focus on the likes and dislikes

sinful pendant
cedar quest
#

For example: Our 2022 SS and before never really had prompts like these "Ledyba/Any Pokémon (165.???)" because before we just didn't really have a good way to keep track of that and we figured it may lead to a "Too Many Options" type of mindset when receiving these types of requests from the S.Spriter.

#

Turns out....People actually really liked the open-ended parts of these requests

civic mauve
zealous pendant
#

What even is the contest phase? I just checked the announcements and couldn't find an explanation

cedar quest
#

I never typed it up because I was still deciding how we're gonna do it this year

#

((Kinda still am)

sinful pendant
#

If you are taking suggestions tho it might be nice to have a NFE category for some spriters who might not be comfortable tackling more challenging fusions

cedar quest
#

But I can sum it up rn

#

Contest Phase is as it sounds: The contest part of the event, where voting will occur, and a """winner"" happens becoming the server icon and winning the Contest Santa role

#

2022 and before we did this via polls n' such, this year??? I'm not sure

#

And as said, I still don't know, there's pros and cons to both

Oh, okay lol. I guess I could have thought it through a bit more😅

Agreed, I feel like catagories of some form or another might be good. So simpler sprites get paired with simpler sprites and the same for harder ones

cedar quest
#

That already exists...somewhat

smoky fable
#

I like to imagine you all look at our sprite output and go "Oh, this person is terrible, give them Voltorb / Oddish" while giggling.

#

Or, maybe the opposite.

"This person is a newbie spriter? Give them Dialga and Necrozma, that'll learn them."

#

Either is very funny.

Most of it is randomized, but I am not hitting some brand new spriter with a hard reference fusion or overcomplicated BS

#

Or vice versa where I didn't let some overly experienced spriter get by with simplicities

tulip drum
#

Im just glad i didnt get a necrozma body

cedar quest
#

The request that was originally randomized to me was a double baby mon request

#

And while I'm still not no Kiwi or mammuth level...I can def say I'm more experienced than I was 3....almost 4 (holy hell) years ago

frigid summit
#

I was tempted to request something with Necrozma, but I thought I'd keep it low key for my first time entry lol

cedar quest
#

So, I switched it with someone newer with a harder request

smoky fable
# cursive brook This sounds heated

Lmao no it's not heated, it's just funny as hell to me.

"Yes... GIVE THE 12 YEAR OLD THE MONA LISA CREATION AND GIVE THE PROFESSIONAL ARTIST THE STICK FIGURE."

Preferably followed by maniacal laughter.

cedar quest
#

I can't account for every easy & hard case though, there's a point where it becomes less of a randomization on more of caterizing shit...which goes against the nature of randomizing the shit in the first place heehee

cedar quest
#

Which is also why we encouraged people to tell us if they thought their request was too hard, so we could try and switch it

frigid summit
#

Would it have been acceptable if someone came to you and said their request was too easy and wanted a different one

smoky fable
# cursive brook Ban the 12 year old

Listen if a 12 year old is able to pass off well enough as a spriter and writer to fool a large crowd I say let them stay. That's how I learned most of the skills I have today, you try explaining you knew what inverse kinematics were at age 12 to a room full of virtual professional animators, it's not going to go down well they will either call you a liar or have an immediate existential crisis.

You're the kind of person who doesn't rip the tag of a mattress. I respect that quality however when I say I could care less about the guidelines of a company that was caught selling user data without disclosing it for years on end I mean it with every fiber of my being, let the 12 year old on. Better yet, let the 12 year old on and then report Discord for allowing it to happen while actively encouraging the 12 year old! heehee

oh ok he can do it latter if 31/12 its not enought time

i dont want someones else name red for a sprite

cedar quest
#

Nah it’s not like that. the original spriter had some complications, so we marked them down as “Need Replacement”

cedar quest
#

Like the person who originally had ur request had issues, so I passed back out the request to someone who volunteered to help

#

And it would not be fair to punish those who volunteer to give some extra help

looking at the google sheet I counted 12 reds (not counting black and other colors)

i'm still working on some backups, but my main ...is done...

debating whether i want to peer through everyone's awesome work right now or wait for GamR's extensive, exhaustive critiques that'll show me all of them heehee

I'm excited for the event to end, when it ends I'll finally look into what they made 4 me :3

tulip tusk
#

I wonder if whoever's request I got has seen the sprite I made

lusty pewter
#

same same

tulip tusk
#

also were you a backup spriter?

lusty pewter
#

I volunteered but didn't get any dm so likely I'm not the one who becomes replacement spriter

#

which is unfortunate but I'm fine with it

#

well... either I didn't get any dm or didn't get any dm yet

#

we still have 24 hours left after all so maybe only when it ends the rest will be sent

I think there were very few sprites that needed to be done and it was chosen by who's volunteer message was seen

maybe... who knows

it's all a mystery, you could say it's a secret spriter

Im still not sure if this is going to be a community vote or staff vote

it's completely-unrelated-people vote, they gonna ask random people on the street on which fusion look best heehee

So, community vote heehee

#

I swear it said it ended on the 2nd? Or am I misremembering?

#

My friend is almost done with theirs, I am really hoping they get it in today.

#

Sorry if that's your request, it'll be worth the wait though.

lusty pewter
#

deadline is 1st january, tho due to time difference it prob closer to early 2nd where I am

elder venture
#

Mysterious. I have in my mind the date on the anncounement was the 2nd (which means I am probably forgetting something else happening) but looking at it now, it's the 1st.

lusty pewter
#

mandela effect do be a bitch heehee

#

actually thinking again idk if it well end early 2nd jan for me, idk my braincells ain't braincell-ing today

elder venture

Yeah I thought it was early 2nd. I don't think there is a timezone it will end on the 2nd, since it ends 2am where I am.

#

Do i have to put the spoiler mark on my SS volunteer sprite?

#

I will not finish it in time so technically its not a SS submittion

lusty pewter
#

even if you finish it on time you're not allowed to submit a 2nd time to the drive

#

I'd say keep spoiler tag jic it's before deadline but screw it if it's past deadline

do it challenge run but instead of a playthrough the game you're doing challenge sprite

I think I can make it to quarter finals batch 22

*batch 2

limpid sphinx
#

but i can see people complaining about receiving a 0 or a 1 from staff in a sprite that was made just to be a christmas gift

uncut shadow
#

Yeah i totally get it

limpid sphinx
#

not like that being a biiiig problem, but i can see it being a bit stressful to deal

limpid sphinx
# uncut shadow Yeah i totally get it

yeaa like, i already saw a good amount of spriters complaining about the event having a comtest, can u imagine if is a staff votes that is gonna have always some harshy stuff ☠️

uncut shadow
#

Tbh i love it when the staff votes, even if my sprite gets harsh scores, i dont take criticism negatively, i see that as a way to find the problem and take it as a way to improve my work

limpid sphinx
#

a bad % only means that people liked another one in the batch more, a bad vote is a individual judge

limpid sphinx
#

buuuut i can feel people being sad receiving a 0 for a sprite that was made for fun

lusty pewter
#

I mean, that sucks but I don't really care much about it. if they don't want to be judge they could just not enter the contest. posting it in spritework already counts as them completing the request so the contest is just a bonus. but I can understand where they're coming from

limpid sphinx
lusty pewter
#

yeah that's fair

#

for me idc if I get bad score as long as I have fun with the sprite

limpid sphinx
#

and since some of the requests are like reference requests too, a staff judge can be a bit unfair since most of staff dont like refs that much ig

limpid sphinx
lusty pewter
#

ah yeah, the request I got asked for a reference pose

#

and im so curious to know about the requester opinion 😭

just didnt know what i was signing up for

yeah it's for contest if you want to join

#

you'll get scored compared to other spriter and if you win your sprite get to be the server's icon until the next contest winner is announce

#

you also get a neat little role :)

#

you could prob cancel your entry if you delete your sprite from the drive before deadline

#

jic you don't want to join in fsr

cursive brook

I am proud of my ss so I hope I get a good score 🤞

lusty pewter

I'm kinda just "eh" on my sprite. I think it's pretty decent but it doesn't really have any "wow" factor in it

urban tulip
#

I'd prefer scoring and feedback tbh

#

First time I tried totally drawing a custom pose

lusty pewter

custom pose is def a gamble if you're not used to it, it could either look very cool or completely off XD

I have yet to see my request show up in any channel

But I want to know who I disappointed now!

Not that mine is bad, just the concept could have allowed for something much cooler

oh don't worry about that, you disappoint everyone so it doesn't matter who requested heehee

is it too late to upload my sprite in the drive

volcarona/gardevoir animated with some fire sfx

#

the most meta fusion ever

cloud solstice
#

Next poll of the little cup Trollgar

lusty pewter
#

a meta that sprite that are animated or have heavy use of sfx wins every contest

lusty pewter
#

if you look through past contest gallery you can see there's quite a lot of animated sprite being winners in the past

#

same thing with sfx sprites

lusty pewter
#

yes unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective)

#

animated sprite is always cool but it does take a lot of effort and also bloat up the already bloated game file
