who is that harold running around in the gallery btw
dont send me to the shadow realm
That's where harold comes from
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
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.
two weeks? the announcement wasn't made since 2 days ago
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"
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
who is 'the person'
How would I know, they left the server 😆
(And GamR was smart enough to censor their name in the spreadsheet before releasing it)
oh were they the blacked out person?
Yeah, probably 😛
i didnt see anyone being mean, it was all jokes from what i saw
they could've sent messages in their dms
true
What happens is I forget what request I made? Like, I did the request I was given, I just forgot what request I asked...
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
oh
It doesn't really matter if you forgot what request you gave
oh ok

(from what I recall)
Easy fix, just check each and every of the secret spriter posts until you see the mon combination you asked for 
they don't remember what they requested tho lol
Is there a list of secret spriter sprites that need replacements
Might be able to crank one out after work
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
Need replacement are people who talked to the mods and actually told them shit
So they could be expemted
oh you mean tell them that you can't do the sprite... right?
remember it costs 0 dollars to dm an EM if you’re in the red!
gamr you smug bastard
you think i wouldn't catch the secret in your secret spriter sheet
can't wait for the inevitable banger though
||also hmu if any of those that need a replacement are flareon bodies because i'm down to making those||
34 people abt need to do shit
The Public Stoning is coming...
And mine still hasn't been done 
i didnt finished my sprite yet 
U don’t need to finish to be safe tho
hm i wonder what happens when you take the first letter of each of these words
If 4 more finish then we’re about 90% done overall 
iknow but i need to finish my gift in time 😭
Not that bad but I am also sick yeah
just a cold but ig that's winter for us
at this point i would not be suprised if they just put bruxish in the game because of the trolling that happened
ah, i am blind
eh im cool with it. not gonna lie i never hated Bruxish as a pokemon. like it is suppose to be ugly
im already done
Not to you specifically 
haha okay
I am expecting a 1 day bruxish event to spawn
I hope not. I still need to finish my secret spriter ^^;
There’s already 34 Bruxish fusions in the gallery counting those poorly hidden fusions
has anyone made a rolling stones reference yet?
Same number of unsafe people smh
you crazy people actually did it! we got bruxish!!!
i thought we already knew since forever
thought it would be something bigger thou
guess it just stop with the fish
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
H i w w h w y t t f l o e t w
*those 
Don't me mind testing something
I truly mean it when I say I'm giving every reasonable chance available.
Prioritize your holiday, all we're asking is for the bare minimum of either starting ur request or letting one of us know
I'll start passing out the current "Need Replacements" tomorrow
⏰
oh i already opted out 😭😭
Can people who opted out prior to that announcement opt back in?
you cheeky bugger!
I’m listening 
They edited it. It said Brueish earlier 
Ah, gotcha ^^
oh wow extended to 1st jan noice
we should simultaneously do new year contest for the fun of it 
Bruxish New Year’s Contest 
Just make a Bruxish head fusion 
need bruxish emote
Brux/wailord when
it not done yet? 
@tepid seal has a WIP for one iirc
Are there any azu fusions :3
@plucky arch you interested?
azu lane?
Azumarill

so Rill
Ye
:0 u r president Joe Biden, my honor to meet you sir 🙏
wait I forgot tomorrow is Xmas
...tuesday probably
HAPPY CHRISTMAS MY SCRUMPTIOUS KUTIESS
CHIRMAS!!!1!1!!
Also Gordo
But Gamr will also punish the reds :>
Naughty or nice?
?
yes
Wait I just read the announcement, bruxish gonna be in the game? And it's dex 469? Where did 468 go?
we gonna know soon, dw 👀
When? 👀
no idea, just trying to make the anxiety being a bit less 😂

Bruxish's design is so garish. I can't wait to turn it into a horse 
how hungry...?
absolutely starved. for flesh 
You have 6 days now…
Noooo, I wanted to see the sprites so bad. Now I got to wait more 
I feel the same way
lol truee
Bless the christmas miracle 
And Gamr's heart grew three times today

When are the replacemnts gonna be passed
Something about GamR scares me 
Gordo’s heart is still 3 sizes too small
....what heart???
Pfffffffffth
Can you see me? 
byes :)
doesn't this happen to corpses
good night, day or whatever depending on your time zone
just kill the sun
Unfortunately our sun is not a Red Sun....yet...
Just move the sun further away
Wash away the rain
Idk what's going on but as someone with chronic migraines I can relate
About 30 people left to do the ss
black hole sun
black hole sun
won't you coome
(black hole sun, black hole sun)
Literally same
oh won't you cooooomee
i should be on the nice list now, finished my request 
29 unsafe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ikr It's gonna be fun to use for a carousel pony in my case.
that's more or less what I was thinking
the more the merrier
@cedar quest just letting you know that I dm'd you the current state of my secret spriter sprote
I don't think you can mention your request yet
should at least clear it with gamr just in case 
well, like, secret santa end date got extended
@cedar quest can people talk about what their sprites were yet? out of curiosity
oh, well sorry then
oh ok then
public stoning?
I appreciate GamR for messaging me, I didn't catch the announcement on the 18th, not too active here anymore.
Realized I should submit the sprite to the spritework discussion thread, I'll get on that
talk about the sprites?
I'm willing to do anyone's secret santa who hasn't gotten theres yet, just message me
nah u good bro
Glad I managed to tho, I think it turned out good
same
I need like extreme help
I was overconfident and rusty and my sprite is being stupid as a result
it's for secret spriter
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
it was hilarious ahaha, and the result is SO cute omg, the Noibat/Growlithe family square is complete 
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
And do it
And probably won't and let my future self let myself down
But I'm motivated
Ngl I asked for mine so someone would start the line so I could get somewhere to start for the rest
I asked for a Swampert fusion and got a Swampert request in return
Which is pretty cool since Swampert is my favorite starter ever
hey where do we submit our sprite for secret spriter?
AH thank you!

I'm still waiting on my request
was it ||yanmega/dusknoir|| by any chance? :>
👀

No. 
no it wasn't
yr not Cats 
lol
It's even funnier when you remember that I purposefully pinged you like three more times for progress updates
I kind of had a feeling when you thanked me for using your base, since I've never had anyone else do that before, so it seems we were both pretending we didn't know 
I'm glad you like it though 
My request was Typhlosion/Aurorus and it looks great
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
it was ||banette/lycanrock||
I have seen my request in the spriteworks (which is very nice), but that person is still in the red despite my request being there
the admin just upload the list at the end of the day i think
I see
The request that i made is hard to do but that person pulled it off
Can i look at my request already or should i wait?
nowhere near the craziest thing of the ones I've seen lol
could be they legitimately haven't been able to
@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 
Are we just saying what our requests are
I guess
I haven't even looked for my request yet. Waiting for the deadline
Mee toooiooooo
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 am guessing that it is part whimsicott, but I hope it it literal and the fusion is literally the Pringles man
||
It’s up to you 
Lmao great! 
Is the request a pringle?
no, its not a whimsicott either, but i love the sprite and i came up with something epic for it
The request that i made for the Secret Spriter was Stunfisk / Necrozma 
Mods, arrest this fellow
Finally getting around to posting the entry now that I've moved my files over. 😄
Do we need to specify that it's a Secret Santa entry in the gallery post? 😮
I think people have been, I don't think it's required but it might be good to?
Can anyone else help with the needs replacement ones?
Oh my God I missed the extension
a Christmas miracle
I found out who did my request but haven't looked at it yet
@slow gyro it really did have your name all over it
oops
Lmao
🫡
you should DM me what you requested I am curious
It’s one of the most random things I’ve done ngl
Lmao sure 
I’ve seen multiple sprites which could be mine which is neat ^^
I'm able to help with the replacement ones o/
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
same here
I'm pretty sure mine was completed but it wasn't submitted to gallery or the event drive file
oh same
Can't tell if mine is with one of the reds or if I'm just bad at spotting it 😭
I remember there being more than 2 Bruxish in the Secret Spriter drive before, were the others just fakes to hint at the reveal?
@open folio , you could change the name on your SS file since Bruxish has a number now
I dun wanna go find the drive again tho 
we probably have one more reveal this year since bruxish jumped a number
a evoluntionless mon
Is it a pringle fusion?
I wish it was
||i will make one eventually||
I actually don’t know how to change the filename in the drive from my phone…
Hold the file and it should give you a drop-down list
Ribombee, yes. 🙂
Turns a two stage into a one stage. Just Golisopod
it will be ribombee
I only learned this channel existed today, which is hilarious, because I am a part of secret spriter, how, how did I do that?
object permanence momence
usually people ignore announcements and come straight here. you did the opposite 
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'll pass out a few more of the need replacement requests, but I'll be honest...they're def a bit hard 
I'll take the hardest one pls
I'm still pretty down to do one.
I’m guessing you don’t get multiple contest entries if you do multiple sprites, but realized I never actually asked
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
Like banning necrozma from requests? 
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
I kinda wish I got a Necrozma ngl. I actually like spriting it xD
What even is the contest phase? I just checked the announcements and couldn't find an explanation
I never typed it up because I was still deciding how we're gonna do it this year
((Kinda still am)
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
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😅
What else would you do?
Nah no worries, there's no dumb questions in #event-general
why is the sky blue
🙋♀️ Where is the bathroom?
I love being able to be transparent about what, how, and why I do things.
Where do I download the game?
Anywhere you make it 
Not the first link on google
Atmosphere likes to be a Artmosphere
What's the other option if not polls? Mod voting?
Byeah Staff voting
My original suggestion was just "Do something that makes you happy" or something like that and I was asked to change it lol so I'm glad to hear that next year that's maybe gonna be a possibility.
Oh, god, absolutely this. I got lucky-ish, because Sharpedo is... well no actually Sharpedo SUCKED but some people got like Ultra Necrozma and if I'd gotten that I'd have honestly probably slid into the DMs and gone "Okay look you can just shoot me now I'm sorry this isn't gonna end well you can just kill me and get it over with."
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
That already exists...somewhat
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.
It’s because our atmosphere happens to like scattering blue light over other wavelengths
I think?
Terrible explanation 
I will accept this reasoning. If x-rays from the moon can bring Grimer and Muk to life then anything is possible.
he was bored and feeling a bit cheeky
The sky is actually just a very large azurill.
It rains when it cries
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
Im just glad i didnt get a necrozma body
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
I was tempted to request something with Necrozma, but I thought I'd keep it low key for my first time entry lol
So, I switched it with someone newer with a harder request
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.
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 
Ban the 12 year old
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
Would it have been acceptable if someone came to you and said their request was too easy and wanted a different one
Would love to see professional artist going hyper tryhard on a baby-baby fusion
New contest idea: baby pokemon only but you must use the entire 96x96 canvas

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.
I plan to type up a lil' "End of Year" sum-up of what I learned this year, what we liked, what we didn't like, etc.
It’s against discord guidelines
Honestly I would've said yes to that lol. There's some crazy difficult ones that still need doing.
yeah, that also would have been fine
I will remember this for next year lmao
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! 
But hey, to each their own!
/lh
((I think what y'all are goin' into is a bit off-topic n' such
))
Yeah lol
Would uhhh....not continue in this direction pls ty
Erases my addition to the conversation to help stop the train
Can only see things going badly probably maybe idk
Speaking of secret santa that still need doing I was gonna peek at what's left and see if any catch my eye
Been feeling like spriting lately but struggling for concepts n inspiration
Go for it, I've passed out a few more
Only 5 as of rn that we know needs replacement
I'll take one if there are any left for volunteers
Check ur DMs Grey, I DM'd u like, a while ago 
Honestly you’re right, however I do rip the tag off mattresses
Oh what. Sorry discord hates me lmao
Can I take one 
Sure
I can get one out as well. As long as it's not like Giritina/Ultra Necrozma or smth crazy 

May I perhaps do one
@cedar quest
Not yet, I'll keep y'all in mind tho
I wanna keep a back up or 2 in case a last minute "Need to Switch"
so whats the dead line before gift distribution?
31st I think?
@cedar quest did you randomize the sprites or did you pick the people you thought would be best for the sprites
like for the secret spriter
yes
Mix of both.
it's great that there are more volunteers than sprites tbh. with 200+ people it could have been way worse 
@cedar quest there is a chance i cant finish my sprite until the deadline, is it ok for me to post it after?
secret spriter actively made me start spriting again
I'll probably reretire when my break is over but still
the replacement stuff has no deadline, ur good
So do i still need to mark as spoiler in Spritework?
byeag
byeag
Thank god-
byeag
byeag
sorry for the delay, have a lot of stuff to finish 
are any of them ||flareons|| 
Doubt you need any more helpers but I can take whatever y’all need!
279, of which currently a little under 20 aren’t done currently, and of that smaller margin only 4 we know already need replacement spriters
actually real question - are any replacement-needed requests ||flareon, ampharos, or a fossil||
I might have time to concept a replacement for someone else to sprite! My concepts are shrinkable to make into sprites, here’s some examples:
If anyone who is spriting a replacement would like a concept, let me know, they don’t take me very long and while I don’t have time to do cleanup on a full Sprite probably I’m more than happy to help do a full custom drawing to make something special for secret spriter!
Is there going to be or is there a volunteer sign up sheet for people that are available to take over an unsubmitted request?
Oh fuck I did a reply, sorry for the ping Christmas, must’ve misclicked!
what's the consensus on volunteer spriters posting the second sprite in the drive? like is that cool or unfair or what?
I CHANGE MY NAME TO CHRISTMAS FOR A 1 WEEK JOKE and NOW I’m CHRISTMAS!? 
I should probs formally put this in announcements huh…, never really crossed my mind as a thing people could do.
Anyways, please don’t put the volunteer ones in the drive, leads to a weird balance of people doing requests for the entry rather than the volunteer
What do you mean? You've always have gone by Christmas 
Was you're name not originally christmas
yeah i think he was always christmas
I am hungover lmao my bad bruv
hey Christmas, feel free to toss one at me if you need me 🫡
mr. tree, would love to do any smeargle, hypno or jumpluff fusions if necessary
Isnt christmas their middle name?
if one of them is mine you can cancel i do it myself
Its “The Christmas Tree”
i have done mine but my request wasnt posted yet
I’ll look into it rq
….unfortunately so for this current moment but I did recently find a replacement for your request like yesterday
So just be a lil more patient and you’ll get something great from a cool spriter 
@gusty frost
oh ok he can do it latter if 31/12 its not enought time
i dont want someones else name red for a sprite
Nah it’s not like that. the original spriter had some complications, so we marked them down as “Need Replacement”
Volunteer request will never be name red
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
if you guys need another one im here
yeah im good to volunteer to
can't help but notice the name changed back 
nuh uh 

SO I CANT SUBMIT THE VOLUNTEER REQUEST?
If any more replacements are needed I'd be happy to work on another
Wait, I may have forgotten that there's a drive for the secret spriter
where is the link?
Still RED 🟥 🛑 📮 
Cabine planning to be the first staff banned from events 
This is the post with the link to the drive for the secret spriter contest if that's the one you mean
#event-announcements message
yo i'd be happy to help out with anymore replacement thingymajiggies
If I wasn't heading on holiday soon, I'd have been super up to help out with the missing ones. 🙂
Hm, I could maybe try and cover one or more over the weekend.
usually don't have anything going on at that point
Where exactly do you sing up as available to help?
@median shore #sprite-gallery message
Don’t upload your sprite as spoiler as that’ll mess up the file name and GamR said no even for Secret Santa right here: #event-announcements message
Fixed it, sorry!
I do wanna fill y'all in on one thing
I'm not gonna be on a "official" hiatus, but I am spending this weekend with out-of-state friends, so expect a lil' less of me this weekend
Have fun!
And so Christmas leaves us until next year 😪
my SS Sprite is almost finished, only lefting some minor details and i can post to spritework 
Can i be the substitute Event Manager while you're not here?

I kinda wanna look at my secret request, to give feedback, but i would get disappointed if they ignored my feedback

#1190310022677278801 any feedback appreciated!!
Wrong chanel to ask for it.
im p sure that im in the right channel, but thank you for try to warn me x)
@cedar quest can i submit my volunteer sprite if i make it in time?
nah
Well. but whos gonna stop me? 
Me.
It seems we have a winner,
oh no, not that one
oh god u made it back just in time
i like to do some last moment entries XD
"can i has extra unfulfilled request"
Goblin
holy smokes, smol
It's almost time and I still have yet to see my requested sprite show up in #1050404143807873157
🥹
I dunno if there r any more 
There were only 5
I’m taking my sweet time on this one
i'm working on a secondary fella while i can, hopefully
I am in so much goddamn pain
I'm gonna make a judgement call tomorrow morning based on how I feel but just ahead of time if someone wants to take my request please let me know
I want a unfulfilled request too 
R shinies real
i have a request
requested petting
I accept the request

It's okay it's okay 
Cambine about to be assasinated

I loved doing secret spriter so much, I feel like I should open requests so I can do more unexpected sprites
I might troll until the very end 
If you liked it that much that's a good idea 
<t:1704074417:D>.
I also love doing request but I'm really picky cuz I feel like I wouldn't be able to make a good sprite if I'm not properly motivated so hard for me to get the request open role XD
<t:1704074417:R>.
Since I'm an early bird compared to my frens, I can do a bit more name marking n' such

Friendship ended with red ❌
Now green is my best friend ✅
About 15 people need to finish
i gotta submit mine to the drive
@plucky arch bestie LC when? 
What drive?
secret spriter contest
Yeah but what drive I never saw a drive
exactly 
In 3 hours that will come true 
For me 1st of January is in 24h
But I know the exact time of the due date 
Here it would be at 9pm tomorrow and it’s currently 6:30pm
I am just a goofy nerf 
I needed to akshally that
i wouldn't mind getting more practice in, tbh, but only if you're ok with it, also get well soon mate
i might submit mine soon
i always forget where the drive file is among all the announcements
i'm glad for the experience. the fella was a journey.
HELLO??? what are these gators 👀
i always look for more gators 👀
for sprite royale, are you only allowed to submit 1
i do not mind. i was only going to submit my secret santa, that does not mean i don't want to do more gators always
wrong place to ask
but yes
every time I hear about the deadline I hear a loud bell gong in my head
how many ppl are left?
looking at the google sheet I counted 12 reds (not counting black and other colors)
although prob around 10 cuz iirc there's 2 secret spriter post in spritework that haven't been accounted for
i'm still working on some backups, but my main ...is done...
i think.
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 
...so one of them by someone who left the server is marked as punished, but that's the only one
i see
a baker's dozen
I've seen mine but they are yet to post it in gallery or in the event drive-
I've seen mine in spritework but haven't look into it any further than that since I wanna keep it a surprise :)
I saw mine from a distance when I tried to see if there was a thread for it
I just caught a glimps of the title of the post lol
while I was scrolling through my phone XD
I'm excited for the event to end, when it ends I'll finally look into what they made 4 me :3
I wonder if whoever's request I got has seen the sprite I made
yee
same same
also were you a backup spriter?
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
vbghnjmkio
I think there were very few sprites that needed to be done and it was chosen by who's volunteer message was seen
death.

is there any slot for un claimed SS yet
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 
So, community vote 
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.
deadline is 1st january, tho due to time difference it prob closer to early 2nd where I am
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.
mandela effect do be a bitch 
actually thinking again idk if it well end early 2nd jan for me, idk my braincells ain't braincell-ing today
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.
<t:1704074417:R>.
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
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
Ok, thanks, there's no way im finishing it before the deadline tho, im only half way done with the sprite
do it challenge run but instead of a playthrough the game you're doing challenge sprite
i think that its gonna be a community vote, its the only option that can avoid some problems 👀
Really? In terms of problems i thought community votes are far worse like can you imagine going through all the match-ups like:
starting phase
quarter finals
quarter finals batch 2
quarter finals batch 3
semi finals
semi finals v2
semi finals v3 (bot didnt work correctly)
semi finals v4 somehow
3/4 of the ranking cus theres too many submissions
finale 10
finale 5
finale 3
End results 🥳
I think my little guy'll do alright
I think I can make it to quarter finals batch 22
*batch 2
at the end of the day, that is not a real problem
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
Oh i see the issue now
Yeah i totally get it
not like that being a biiiig problem, but i can see it being a bit stressful to deal
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 ☠️
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
a bad % only means that people liked another one in the batch more, a bad vote is a individual judge
me too, i think that staff votes in the most of time its the most fair way to host a contest
buuuut i can feel people being sad receiving a 0 for a sprite that was made for fun
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
yeah i can agree with that and im not talking about mslf tbh but idk if i can judge if someone be sad for receive a bad vote in a sprite that was made for fun yknow
yeah that's fair
for me idc if I get bad score as long as I have fun with the sprite
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
i want to place well ngl >:) but at the end i only care if the requester liked it or not
ah yeah, the request I got asked for a reference pose
and im so curious to know about the requester opinion 😭
same same, since this is secret spriter the most important part is def the person who requested it and how they like the sprite :)
I wonder who requested my sprite, it was a very unique suggestion
whoever requested mine is both simple and interesting at the same time
<t:1704074417:R>.
Do we get to know eventually who the requester is?
wait so whats the google drive for again with ss?
FUCK
oh its a contest
You don't have to participate in the contest though if you don't wanna.
oh i already submitted my thing lmao
like ages ago
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
I am proud of my ss so I hope I get a good score 🤞
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
I'd prefer scoring and feedback tbh
First time I tried totally drawing a custom pose
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
When do we find out who requested our fusion?
as in you look for it? or you haven't see it while leisurely scrolling through and not actively looking for your request?
prob after deadline
Hm
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 
is it too late to upload my sprite in the drive
not yet, go for it
i think that its the deadline
they should've announced when it ends so you should be good to upload it to drive
I can't find the drive 
it's in event announcement make sure to check thoroughly
WAIT wrong one smhhhh
I feel stupid
I opened it
I looked
But here is list only
this one #event-announcements message
no, it is I who am stupid 
Oh! I wonder if I can upload it properly from the phone
I am actively looking for it
bruh either you missed your's somehow or you're the very unfortunate one that haven't been made yet/need replacement XD
It involves a box art legendary and I haven't seen it show up in spritework, discussion or gallery
if you dm it to me I can upload it. just make sure it has the right file name tho 
<t:1704074417:R>.
combing through and seeing everyone's sprites is so nice! Everyone did an amazing job!
ayy it's finally new years here :D
oof it'll be awhile for you then
yayyyy happy new year!
2024 gang!
12 pm here, still 2023. what's the future like guys?
its 2pm here yet 

there's a return of animation sfx meta in contest 
Next poll of the little cup 
Wtf is that
a meta that sprite that are animated or have heavy use of sfx wins every contest

Ntm always wins then
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
No more animations 
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
Yeah it evens the playing field
Is it safe if my secret Spriter isn’t finished as long as the wip is posted in spritework? I’ve been busier than I thought I would’ve this week 😵💫
Yes
no, we're removing your knees /j
<t:1704074417:R>.
*heart
Yeah as long as a WIP is in #1050404143807873157 by the deadline, you are safe
It's done. Please do not murder me now "The Christmas Tree" also known as GordoGamR.
please have mercy on this poor soul, Christmas 😔
I’m spared 🙏😇
so do you guys remember when i said i will definetly not finish the volunteer secret spriter sprite cus im only like half way there?
well
i was wrong
lol but good job
oh man too bad i cant submit it
<t:1704074417:R>.
i'm still working on mine
it likely won't be done in time for the deadline, but it will be done soon, i hope
As long as you show any kind of progress on your SS request then youre good
so it doesn't need to be in sprite gallery by the deadline?
oh that's been said above
neat
i don't need to worry so much about my funky talonflame then
Only 7 people left
only 4 hrs left
I’ll say there are still 7 people left after the countdown
Who would procrastinate like that? Only to submit it in the last second. On New Year’s Eve
psychopaths 
I’m glad the person who got my request managed to do it in time
down to the wire
||#1189371149709221888|| just incase anyone wants to stop me before I post this
it's not the SS, technically, it's a volunteer sprite
<t:1704074417:R>.
oh really? I thought it ended at 5
Ohhh, well then everything is fine
SS volunteer sprites dont have deadlines
You can make it whenever you want and post it whenever you feel like it
wait what
Who passed you out a volunteer one? certainly wasn't me and it's not marked down
??? i thought you dm'd me a sprite to do?
I dm'd you to try to sort it out just in case it gets into spoiler territory
He would give u a list of requests you can choose
When can we reveal?
Doing last minute edits on mine. I even added a minigame xD
mine has custom dex entries :)
I made the prevo haha
i accidentally saw the one that was meant for me 
I saw mine because my sprite was right to my request on the drive lmfao
someone made like a different version of the one that was meant for me and I saw their version? either that or both people got my request
either way I've seen one version
was upsetting I'm crying all over
Multiple sprites could by mine since my request was a bit vague ^^
oh cool
I should've done that
I've just always had this image of a perfect sprite in my mind but I can't make it
so I requested something similar to my dream sprite
but not exactly the same
I will make my dream a reality
no one else can see in my mind
The request I got was a reference but I couldn't make it work w/ the mons they asked for. So I made two sprites :'P
DM me I'm curious
Still have to finish the other one, but hopefully at least one'll make them happy ^^
Wait same can i see
Exciting
45 mins
Yours might be one of the replacements

🥹
If urs is mine ur gonna have to wait
When time is up, do we get to reveal which request we did?
Did you request a reference?
Hm may have seen sprite on the list
Might be mine. It included a box legend and said it'd be really cool if it was a reference to a character. Mine's in both spritework and the drive tho
Last second server leave 
PUNISH
PUNISH
PHNISH

I just checked and my request isn't in the drive or spritework
So I don't think u have mine
Already got their user ID
Insane power move

You cant stop me from getting Justice
I'm still wondering if we post what sprite(s) we did and what request we sent?
what was your request
Are we allowed to say it now
but I can make sure you get absolutely hammered
i think that we can
@fallen scroll Thanks for the Noivern/Kangaskhan I absolutely loved them! #sprite-gallery message

||(basically the inverse of a sprite i made)||
awwww sleepy baby
Im seething rn
I need to go look at the sprite I think was made for me ||Toxapex/Azumarill||
hell I could make that
(I also requested it to include a reference)
do I @ the person who did my sprite and just go "hell yeah"
What do i do if my requested sprite isn't existing
cry
you get nothing willy Wonka quote
Maybe someone who wanted to pick up extras will
also I really want to know who requested the first ss sprite I did
same here
Same
I want to know who I filled with Christmas Joy
that sounds wrong

Ew
I was filled with joy 
anyways I'm @ ing the person who did my sprite I'm too impatient for an answer if we're allowed to do that
no way wyag i did your request lmao
Im killing you

Yes indeed
@crude cedar I LOVE THE LITTLE GUY YOU MADE HEHE
Yeah go for it
