event-general

[cloud solstice]

But can you see with that?

[sick herald]

maybe idk

never tried

[random girder]

whens the vileplume thing done?

[random girder]

@cedar quest sorry for bothering you but how exactly does the pokemon of the week system work?

does a bot check for every gallery entry with vileplumes dex or do you guys do it manually?

[plucky arch]

thatd be a kiwi question ngl they did most of it

[limpid sphinx]

its probably a bot

[limpid sphinx]

and its every friday if im right

[sly shuttle]

The bot does it all. POTW requires no staff input

[acoustic saddle]

Friday night fukin'

[acoustic saddle]

so we dont need staff anymore right

[limpid sphinx]

we never needed

[sly shuttle]

We should at least see if @opal wadi can complete one POTW cycle

[lusty pewter]

yanmega just choose a completely random fusion that isn't even vileplume related

[sly shuttle]

I hope it doesn’t make Voltorb the next POTW

[lusty pewter]

oof, it is it's def unfortunate (for me) cuz I'm pretty sure both melo form got body and head fusion of voltorb

[slender thunder]

60%?

I thought it was 75%

[spice umbra]

Let's get to 100

[lofty skiff]

As someone who's been doing solely cresselia bodes - I am wounded

[spice umbra]

Woooo

[hybrid oracle]

where can i claim the weezing Creselia fusion?

[slender thunder]

As someone who doesn't like banana duck, I still had to make one for my spriter chart

[tulip tusk]

i need to do one but im lazy

[slender thunder]

i still haven't done ultra necrozma

anyways

I thought flags are when a team reaches 75%?

Uhm actually lunala is our favourite lunar legendary

[bright crow]

is the 60% the new bar for flags? or is it just for cress?

@naive summit ?

[naive summit]

just for the cress event

[slender thunder]

i hope so because sandshrew bodies still hasn't hit 75% :(

[naive summit]

sandshrews sound fun

might make a couple later

[slender thunder]

(75 makes sense for a regular team though, I don't think it should be changed)

[quartz locust]

Funny dessert friends. 🙂

[crude cedar]

the way everyone started posting cress fusions like the start of the rush for the role/flag

[thin dove]

oh my god

so people get a completionist role except then at the end of the month it becomes...something else that's super vague?

do people that had completionst for other pokemon before the removal get this role retroactively?

[woven kettle]

I think it's just a general completionist role for anything

[tacit lintel]

(working on a resolution, ty!)

[sinful pendant]

That is odd, maybe shoot them a ping and ask them to add their name in addition to yours next time instead of just removing it altogether

[tacit lintel]

Sounds good! Is there any particular channel I should ping them in to chat?

[sinful pendant]

Probs just in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1191504881471733872

[tacit lintel]

ty!

[sinful pendant]

Hopefully they were just new or not paying attention when they edited the sheet

[sick herald]

hi blaq

how was ur holiday?

[torpid bough]

Well

Guys

We all know who is going to be the winner, the first place of the Trash Contest Entry

But what about second and third place, who could they be?

[wicked perch]

first place:
second place:
third place:

#georgesweep

[acoustic saddle]

winner winner chicken Dinner

[torpid bough]

KAJAJAJ

[tulip tusk]

is kabuto/cresselia free?

[bright crow]

check the pinned chart in #1191504881471733872

[tulip tusk]

do I just set this to claimed and add my name?

[sly shuttle]

Yes

[tranquil fable]

Do you just need to do a Cresselia fusion for the role or do you need to do a Cresselia head to get it?

[acoustic saddle]

i think we are finishing cressy head rn

[limpid sphinx]

good question

yea we are finishing cressy heads so i think that only head fusions counts rn, but im not sure, better ask howls mm

@naive summit sorry for the ping

[naive summit]

A cress head yeah

[tranquil fable]

Oh well, time to do one then

[acoustic saddle]

hey funny role for cressy event, wish we have funny role for trevenant too

[limpid sphinx]

i think that is gonna be commun on future rush events, its a cool thing fr

[cloud solstice]

the trev rush had the winner add a pokemon to the contest raffle pick

[limpid sphinx]

better than a role ngl

[slender thunder]

not if you lose the raffle

[wispy grove]

Mantine?? Good idea!!

[tulip tusk]

I kinda want to do crobat/mantine

[olive sentinel]

I can make a mantine
Much prefer it to vileplume (which I already had one scrapped sprite of before the week of it)

[rigid bobcat]

i love rattata

i'm gonna do mantatta

[wispy grove]

I might do one of the mantine fire fusions

[tulip tusk]

it doesn't look like it's doing a )-( face tbh, it looks like it has a little smile with fangs and I personally prefer it that way

[thick harness]

Mantines a nice pick, it doesn't get a lot of love so hopefully this gives it a nice sprite boost

[broken robin]

Yeah

[trail axle]

It's mantine time

[plucky arch]

cant believe kiwi is crowding the #event-announcements channel smhsmh

[placid briar]

Lets go mantine woo

[slender thunder]

wait is the winner just random

lame!

[dull mortar]

ye

means they can focus on other things :v

[crisp cargo]

participate in raffle
look inside
random winner

[slender thunder]

me

(except i didnt make a vileplume)

[plucky arch]

we told you it was soulless

[tall moss]

[slender thunder]

Time to make the worst Mantine sprite ever and win ||/j, obviously||

[tall moss]

one day the winner will be a joke sprite i just know it

[slender thunder]

too bad I didn't make this now

[tall moss]

youre a boundless fountain of positivity arent you

[plucky arch]

#event-announcements message

gamr's words not mine

[steady pasture]

Yay ben

Mantine huh?

[misty acorn]

Would be cool if the winner message also mentioned how many "entries" there were in the raffle

[tall moss]

yis someone suggested it in #1197974573644255343 message

[sick herald]

oh cool mantine

[fierce flume]

Mantine Moment

[timid ruin]

Does the rotw role only last for a week?

[lusty pewter]

they didn't say anything about that so prob not(?)

[steady pasture]

If it did, it's a pretty stupid role

[lusty pewter]

well... it's a role that you get by pretty much relying on luck so it's not that bad if it changes every week

[wind matrix]

Just write up an ai so advanced, it can judge sprites

[faint gorge]

Count the number of reactions a sprite has in the gallery to judge if it's good or not, that's all I'm sayin

That said, I do think it being random encourages everybody to give the contest a shot, which makes for more custom fusions for mons which don't have enough, and that's cool

[lusty pewter]

I don't think that's a perfect idea since from my experience depending on when you post you could get more or less reactions

[faint gorge]

Yea it def isn't, would guess it would still be better than random if we're looking for raw quality, though you'd probably have to add some parameters for it to be fair

But ye again this contest being random as a way to fill up pokedex entries for mons which are missing a lot of custom sprites faster already seems like a great idea to me

[lusty pewter]

yeah I think it's enough, tho having some sort of way to gauge how well you made the sprite does sound good to incentivize people to make better looking sprite instead of just a spruced up auto-gen-like sprite

[faint gorge]

Yea true

Though improved auto-gen sprites are still better than straight up auto-gen sprites as a player who's going in blind fs

[lusty pewter]

agreed

[tulip tusk]

plus I've had sprites get like 40 emojis just to spell out a word

[cedar quest]

today is my birthday :)

[tulip tusk]

YAAAAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! we're going to steal your knees now

[cedar quest]

yippee

[bright crow]

[lusty pewter]

[acoustic saddle]

happy older day

[limpid sphinx]

[cedar quest]

I mean I could've, but I don't like doing repeats

also ty :D

[elder topaz]

Happy date of birthing

[cedar quest]

ty :D

[lusty pewter]

woo voting time, lets see how far I'll go this time :)

I wonder if there's gonna be anything special for the people who were able to do the 12 color challenge

[bright crow]

Polls arent counting votes for me?

The reacts are just sitting there

[steady pasture]

Did the bot fuck up? Why did it pick up a Mantine POTW sprite?

[bright crow]

Nm its better now

[acoustic saddle]

bc it not actually POTW

[steady pasture]

??

[rapid knot]

It's got a recycle symbol on it

[cedar quest]

He made that for Junkyard before Mantine POTW was even picked by the bot

[acoustic saddle]

i made it before POTW

[cedar quest]

Psychic

clairvoyant NTM 👁️

[acoustic saddle]

so i dont have to make any POTW tis time

[little cypress]

Yay! Glad you were born and congrats on another year!

[steady pasture]

Oh

[cedar quest]

tyty :D

[little cypress]

||Also HOLY SHIT thanks for all the work on contests lord it’s so much. Impressed ||

[acoustic saddle]

im the prophecy

[little cypress]

We’re all doomed

[cedar quest]

There were only 3 I removed, all for not formatting their stuff correctly. (Missing person names, something that was waaaaaaay outside of Gen 5's style (a 1x1 on a 288x288 canvas)

[little cypress]

[cedar quest]

Basically things that didn't format their submissions correctly, nor read #spriting-guidelines

None for an interpretation of theme

[acoustic saddle]

what about those used more than 12 color

[frigid summit]

Do you have to check if the contest entries in the drive have even been posted to spritework?

[cedar quest]

oh shoot ur so right I must make that one person correct 🤯

[random girder]

bruh my sprite got on the prelim board with ntm's

[cedar quest]

Not required. That was only for Secret Spriter

[random girder]

https://tenor.com/bUJDj.gif

[frigid summit]

Oh that's interesting.

[cedar quest]

Which that part was to make sure they were actually doing their requests

AKA not freeloading

[frigid summit]

So a sprite could still win the contest and not even be put into the game? lol

[ashen sapphire]

yeah lol

[acoustic saddle]

no disqualiffy for SFX?

[acoustic saddle]

they gonna get harvested

[bright crow]

No bonus points for low colors?

[sly gorge]

you get a participation medal for that

[random girder]

suffer

like i have- random videogame character

[bright crow]

Ok rammatra

[acoustic saddle]

well as i said, it was just a handicap

[random girder]

that one

[cedar quest]

you're pushing it on the Trub/Machoke, but other than that no

[acoustic saddle]

machoke?

[cedar quest]

oh it's a machamp

I didn't even see the other arms

Maybe I should've disqualified it

too late now

[sly gorge]

wait hold on

so you're telling me I limited myself to 12 colors

FOOORRRR NOOOOTTHHIIIINGGGG??!?!?!!?

[bright crow]

I wish the ones who did the low colors got mentioned that they did so since it was an additional challenge

[cedar quest]

For fun.

[sly gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/yakuza-kazuma-kiryu-pissed-off-gif-14586175

[acoustic saddle]

well if tinkaton can has a hammer, then why machamp ccant have a trashbin rocket

[random girder]

that damm mimikyu sprite was gonna kill me

[sly gorge]

well next time imma take a dump on "fun" and just make the sparkliest (without sfx) thing alive

[cedar quest]

🤯 checkmate

[sly gorge]

I'll create the BEST Gengar fusion anyone's ever seen

and Blaq won't be able to give me a score of 1...

because classic contests are out now..

heheh....

[cedar quest]

||unironically plays into the theme of what I got next so sure buddy||

[bright crow]

32 colors next time i find out an optional challenge is just for a community poll

[sly gorge]

that sure buddy shut me down 😭

[cedar quest]

Classics are mons that focus on a single pokemon and that's it.

Never said staff voting was gone

[bright crow]

I'll have 8 different black outline colors

[sly gorge]

well technically you didn't

wait so

that cress contest's gonna be a classic?

when we inevitably get to that?

[cedar quest]

Wait...

fuck

Howls noooooOOOOO

he's so right

[acoustic saddle]

be pround that u could follow the challenge

[cedar quest]

ig that's the exception?? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ?

[random girder]

hood gengar

[sly gorge]

yuh

[bright crow]

I just wanted to be special and noticed

[sly gorge]

best pif team of all time

[cedar quest]

but that one is super different compared to other contests anyways where you literally submit a sprite you already made

So...

IDK 🫠

[tulip tusk]

im here did anyone die yet

[acoustic saddle]

cress contest so people would make more cress sprite for a failed rush event

[sly gorge]

5 head

[cedar quest]

pretty much that's what it is

[acoustic saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/hug-gif-22590965

[bright crow]

Im tired of the moon duck grandpa

[cedar quest]

we wanted to get more participation in the rush, so we convinced frog to let us have the completionist role back with slightly different function

and now we can do milestones for our rushes

[sly gorge]

also speaking of the cress contest, we're allowed to submit any cress fusion we've made since cress was announced as an entry, correct?

[cedar quest]

I

uhhh

uhm

erm

hm

I

uhg

[sly gorge]

just tell me it's right fucking there and call me stupid

that's also fine

[bright crow]

We broke them

[cedar quest]

???? ?? ? ? ? ?

[acoustic saddle]

auto gen contest , peope have to sptite using an auto gen as base

[cedar quest]

IDK ? ?

[tulip tusk]

i think that would unironically kill me

[cedar quest]

@naive summit when u get online you answer this

because I have no clue how you wanna do the Cres thing

[acoustic saddle]

:^) there r manny good autogen

l ike Jynx/reshiram

[bright crow]

I always think the trolley emoji is a troll face in a hospital bed

[cedar quest]

HAHAhAHAHA

[frigid summit]

Lead by example and make an autogen based sprite lol

[acoustic saddle]

that will be his next destination

[cedar quest]

"Trollface wha happen"

"LC ❗ ❗ "

[acoustic saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/thanos-gif-25117042

well auto gen is what how most people do machoke body

[sly gorge]

sure

[acoustic saddle]

must be new one, else peope gonna make less new sprite ]

[sly gorge]

aite

I'm not making Cress head though

I fucking hated making Cresselia/Gengar

so much

[limpid sphinx]

that is not what literally all the contest represents at the end? ppl rushing more sprites to the game with the fake reward of competing on something

[crude cedar]

well, im dead
all the sprites r so good

[limpid sphinx]

trubbish reaching their deserved respect

[sweet pollen]

hi

[lofty skiff]

Honestly, I like this

[cloud solstice]

U imply my sprote isn't good?

[cloud solstice]

NGL I just want the flag, and maybe the role

If there's a Cressy contest idk which of mine to enter

[astral niche]

I loved all sprite it was hard to vote

I didn’t saw my sprite in the prelim vote so I might have screwed up my file . It’s not like a master piece anyway. I can’t wait to see the winner

[olive sentinel]

best garbage reward goes to...

[cedar quest]

yeah urs did get screwed up unfortunately :(

[naive summit]

correct yes

[cyan gull]

https://tenor.com/view/rock-lee-weights-naruto-chunin-exams-flex-gif-26433140

Me with the Autogen contest

I've been training for this

[sweet pollen]

whats up

[cyan gull]

[astral niche]

Could I know what screwed up in the sprite so that I can remedy it next time

[cedar quest]

yeye ill dm

I no longer have a need for

For now I can

[ornate junco]

like grah

[bright crow]

hacking human brains to win contests

[cyan gull]

Hurr durr censorship

[bright crow]

Shh you cant mention specific sprites to influence votes

[slender thunder]

A. Damn these sprites are cool
B. Damn there's alot of trub & garb head fusions

[cyan gull]

Better?

[bright crow]

idk ask gamr

[cedar quest]

I do agree with this, but I am also going to delete this message.

[bright crow]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

i knew i was pushing some lines saying that but glad to hear im agreed with

[ashen sapphire]

augh now I'm curious

[bright crow]

i can dm it if wished

[still steeple]

GL to everyone who entered the Junkyard contest!

wait I didn't wanna hafta choose between some of these so soon

why, o cruel fate...

[ashen sapphire]

Loving the current polls and their mix of "this sprite is really cool" and "look at this goofy little weirdo" and sprites that are both of those, good luck to everyone :D

[ashen sapphire]

also sure--I am unfortunately cursed with 'I have... to know'

[quartz locust]

Some really solid entries there, as always! 😄

I love seeing how people interpreted the theme. 🙂

[sly gorge]

Me forcing myself to make another Cresselia sprite:

when that Cress contest comes around I am 100% not using this sprite as an entry

[rich girder]

Hello we need fire type contest pls

[cedar quest]

fire type contest is kil

[red bramble]

"no"

[tulip tusk]

sorry, we're removing fire types from the game :(

[red bramble]

also please say this was a reference to club penguin is kil

[cedar quest]

[still steeple]

today is YOUR day, gordo? wait,,, but today is MY day...

[still steeple]

extinguished.......

[acoustic saddle]

i was talking about the autogen

[rapid knot]

Team Croissant :P

That's the actual name of the emoji

[random girder]

hamborger

[acoustic saddle]

bananar

[bright crow]

magcargo nooooo

me when magcargo is removed for the sin of being a fire type

[cedar quest]

so so so wrong.

it is mine.

jk, happy bday to u as well @still steeple

[cedar quest]

or atleast I think it is?? ? ? ?

[still steeple]

happy birthfday to ME...

...and to you!!

🎂

[cedar quest]

So true

[frigid summit]

twins

[acoustic saddle]

no trevenant flag?

[lofty skiff]

[lofty skiff]

Happy birthday to you both

[olive sentinel]

Happy birthday to you neither
Its already past your birthday now get back to work

[wispy grove]

https://tenor.com/view/frozen2-crying-moved-touched-tears-gif-15993044

[haughty haven]

sobbing I missed contest voting by half an hour 💀

[olive sentinel]

its a real shock to me how some of these won with more than 30%
some of them I didnt even consider to be that good...

actually im not sure if Im supposed to even say that

allowed to*

[wispy grove]

Dumpster fire sweep imo it's so good but then again all of them are good

[wispy grove]

I dunno if I'm shocked exactly but there are sprites I thought would get a lot more votes

Garbodor/Whimsicott went so hard it's such a cool idea and cute sprite

Mimikyu/Vileplume too I really liked

It's gonna be fun to see these in-game regardless of this server contest

[lunar comet]

There was one with 37% and one with 38%, which is crazy for a poll with this many options

[sly gorge]

oh damn my lil guy (B2) got 7% of the votes

that's new

Unfortunately big boy (C3) didn't do so well :(

[lyric hill]

I guess bigger is often better when it comes to voting

[olive sentinel]

no no people just voted the last mons on every single one of these to prove that middle one doesnt always win

[empty thunder]

I got a surprisingly good placement!

[wispy grove]

My sprites did pretty well too
The feedback people gave me in the spritework posts boosted the sprite's quality a lot so it got better reception than I imagined it could

[empty thunder]

Same with me! My sprite origially didn't have the dripping at all

[sly hatch]

aw :( I thought I had at least some potential this time

I know small sprites don't tend to win but I wasn't expecting such a low rate

[steady pasture]

Neither of my sprites performed even remotely well lol

[crude cedar]

i got a WHOPPING 6 votes!!

whoever those were ty!!

[wispy grove]

it did in my heart
garbodor/banette is great

[steady pasture]

Lol, thanks

[wispy grove]

ssunday yours too I just realized

[steady pasture]

I wonder if my sprite could've gotten just a little more attention if it wasn't placed side by side with NTM's monster of a sprite, which btw also only has 12 colors shocking and impressive enough

[crisp cargo]

my sprites never seem to perform well in contests so i stopped participating in them lol

doesn't matter if it's votes or judges

[bright crow]

wow i got past prelims Trying not to get hope but very surprised.

especially considering mine isn't super dynamic or anything- just has pretty colors.

[wispy grove]

You gave me color advice on mine too :D

[bright crow]

it turned out rly cool! i love the way you went with it :)

[rich girder]

I have to admit idkhiw to vote on a contest

[gleaming goblet]

do top 2 per bracket go through or only the victors?

[summer nebula]

I always get confused at how my worst sprites seem to do better than my good sprites in contests

[zealous pendant]

Contests are less about quality and more about "cool factor" in my experience. Although contest winners are usually both

[limpid sphinx]

the point is that sometimes quality can be subjective, a taste question

not that easy to be sure about how ppl thinks when voting

[cloud pulsar]

first time i get first in a bracket
is this what being a good spriter feels like

[limpid sphinx]

really like your entry!

[cloud pulsar]

ty datorre

[cyan gull]

is it top 5 or top 2?

either way, 1 of my sprites might've made it

[cloud pulsar]

i think its pinned

[cedar quest]

oh boy

I have some...real exciting news

No. More. HARD. LABOR

GREY MADE ME A SCRIPTTTTTT

LOOK AT IT GO

[plucky arch]

WOOOOO

[cedar quest]

look at this thing

that's all of Losers Round 2, no errors, and I barely had to do anything ||for the perfect take ||

[limpid sphinx]

IA is dominating IF

[sinful pendant]

The bot takeover 🔜

[cedar quest]

So here's the plan. it's already pretty late here so no polls today.

Tomorrow, I do LC Loser Round 2 polls after work, and maybe Junkyard Semis after work if Tee hasn't done 'em yet.

Or in fact.

I'll just do Junkyard Semis now

oh wait it's Quarters

I'll just do Quarters now

[limpid sphinx]

what if no junkyard quartes so i can have more time on pfp

[cedar quest]

Too late

[lunar comet]

line to first poll

[cedar quest]

Oh Ik what I typed

[acoustic saddle]

rip trolley 😔

it think u might want to add the #contest-polls to every of ur announcement bc new people dont know about them yet

[sly hatch]

the ones that get through are pretty much always large detailed ones but I try with my lil guys anyways

sock shuppet was done dirty that one is great

like don't get me wrong the big ones are impressive but it's a bit discouraging ngl

[grizzled yew]

i was also rooting for sock shuppet

[frigid summit]

wait what happened to your guy

[blissful kindle]

Maybe because your sprite is awesome (Still didn't vote for it because it didn't fit the theme in my eyes )

[mortal void]

winners of the first rounds go straight to semis, this is quarters that are being voted on now

also I am amazed I even made it to quarters better than I expected considering the entries, I thought I'd get next to no votes and be out first round so that's a win for me

[frigid summit]

ohhh didn't know it worked that way

that's neat! also very surprised mine made it through to the next round lmao

doubt it will get any further than this though

[random girder]

ay

8 people voted for one of my guys

[acoustic saddle]

its gamr’s

[sturdy mulch]

isn't this kingdra and klingkang? 🤔

[acoustic saddle]

its a pizzas cutter

[cloud pulsar]

thats what i was thinking when making it
the original concept was more scrap like but didnt looked much like a klinklang fusion aka lacking gears and such

[blissful kindle]

So you knew

[acoustic saddle]

mod corruption

[cloud pulsar]

my head was hurting already
couldnt bother to try to come up with a better design

[acoustic saddle]

your was the steel volcarona?

[cloud pulsar]

ye the iron moth

[acoustic saddle]

oh then i think if u add more scrap part like from cars or machine , make it more asymmetrical then i would look like a scarp yard sculpture

i think i missed ur thread thou

[cloud pulsar]

that could be fun

[pallid belfry]

Confused as to why one of my entries isn’t in the quarters despite winning its poll in the prelims? B1 in this poll #contest-polls message

[acoustic saddle]

the winner goes straight into the last poll

[pallid belfry]

Oh, alright :) was worried there for a second lol

[bright crow]

sorry where are the quarters?

[acoustic saddle]

the clock?

[cedar quest]

#contest-polls

[bright crow]

i just see the prelims still?

[cedar quest]

Scroll down

or hold on

[limpid sphinx]

lol

good edit

XD

[cedar quest]

you never know

[bright crow]

i was gonna say i couldn't find any polls that were'nt finished

[acoustic saddle]

seem like u won already

[cloud pulsar]

ye first time going into semis i believe

[bright crow]

[acoustic saddle]

[cloud pulsar]

[pallid belfry]

No, the trash bag parasect

[cedar quest]

that's in semis

[pallid belfry]

I know that now, thanks for the help anyways

[near horizon]

wow, i just realised one of my sprites is in quarter ! i think that's the furthest one of my sprites have gone in a contest

[acoustic saddle]

make beeg sprotes

[mellow wagon]

Make it fill the entire canvas

[olive sentinel]

I paid for the entire canvas and Im going to use all of it

with the mons I like to sprite that would be rather hard to do

[frigid summit]

was the canvas expensive

[olive sentinel]

It was free
Can you believe it? Such a scam

[acoustic saddle]

they should pay me for using them

[olive sentinel]

Yeah Ikr?

[frigid summit]

you should sue

[slate ginkgo]

ask for a refund

[olive sentinel]

[acoustic saddle]

irl cat tail

[slate ginkgo]

[olive sentinel]

I checked my biggest sprite is a necrozma body
Im never winning these contests 😔

[olive sentinel]

[acoustic saddle]

check profile

[olive sentinel]

i see

[near horizon]

i often sprite krabbys, it's also hard to fill the whole canvas with them x)

[acoustic saddle]

ur Utral nerc krab

[near horizon]

this one ?

[olive sentinel]

Speaking of crabs I think this one is one of the biggest I made too
(Its still in spritework though)

[near horizon]

oh yeah, it reminds me that i have to do my versions of these x)

[olive sentinel]

[acoustic saddle]

beeg krabs

[misty acorn]

Man this contest was so much fun

[dense jackal]

4 colour limit? 😮

[misty acorn]

gen 2 style

so yeah, 4 colors and smaller canvas

[lusty pewter]

next challenge: 1 color limit :)

[misty acorn]

Kecleon/Kecleon can win with 0 colors

[lusty pewter]

hm... guess it's not hard enough huh, alr, lets go with -10 color limit >:)

[olive sentinel]

negative colors? so I need to reverse it after spriting with 10

[spare breach]

gsc style my beloved

[cedar quest]

(shh don’t remind people of that one so it’s surprising when we do it again this year ))

[wary canopy]

gen 2 style contest would go so hard it looks so good

[slender thunder]

Should I also vote on how much they fit the theme because for one of them I think it's the best sprite out of the six but it doesn't really look like a trash/junkyard theme

Nevermind apparently one of the Pokémon it is fused with was mentioned in the announcement even (which I personally don't really see a connection with trash to but oh well)

[lusty pewter]

you vote for which sprite look the best (like how good is their outline, how well do they shade, did they have any technical problem like too much dithering or jaggies, etc) but most people (at least afaik) vote for just which one they like the most

[dense jackal]

I think it's totally fair to factor in theming to your vote if you want to

[limpid sphinx]

you vote for which sprite you want

lol

ppl can just vote for the one they like the most

[bright crow]

you are the one who deems what your judgement is based on

[limpid sphinx]

exactly

its not like we have rules to vote lol

i feel like the only ones that are a bit more ruled on votes are the staff judges ones, cuz they prefer the sprites that arent unecessary big or have unecessary sfx, things like that, they look for a more technicall stuff, but that is not the only thing about art, your taste can be a thing too lol

[cloud solstice]

If they got on the poll, it's fine to vote for them

[limpid sphinx]

since its not like all ppl here are "profesional spriters"

[limpid sphinx]

exactly lol

[cloud solstice]

There are professionals here?

[olive sentinel]

some people do make money

[limpid sphinx]

that sentence "you vote for which sprite look the best (like how good is their outlines, etc)", just effort that white names shouldnt vote, cuz well, even actually spriters dont know what is jaggies can u imagine white names lol

[limpid sphinx]

yeah i mean, if u make money u can consider yourself a profesional imo XD

[olive sentinel]

" a big dino"
white names all voting any tyruntrum sprite

[cloud solstice]

Can't blame them, dinos are cool

[olive sentinel]

fair point

[cloud solstice]

It's not just about sprite quality, there's also just the general appeal, dinos appeal to more people than a crab for example, even if crabs are cool

[random girder]

https://tenor.com/bbxJK.gif

[limpid sphinx]

tbf, aurorus sprites making a good run on community votes too

[limpid sphinx]

i think that at the end, both things are connected

[cloud solstice]

Yes but betweens a cool dino and a cool crab, most people would choose the dino

[limpid sphinx]

to make a good dino, u have to put more effort and the sprite usually gonna looks better than a little crab, its more space to work with it in a dino, obviously, for that reason usually big sprites win things here, its not just the "kaiju meta" its cuz, obviously, big sprites have a bigger space to make things works, and when working with pixel art, every space can make the difference

[limpid sphinx]

i was explaining my sentence XD

[cloud solstice]

Too slow

[limpid sphinx]

go read

[cloud solstice]

Big sprite are more work too imo

[limpid sphinx]

when not using a base, it obviously is more work lol

[cloud solstice]

[olive sentinel]

alright Im making a tyruntrum sprite next event

tyruntrum head

[cloud solstice]

We have our next winner

[limpid sphinx]

i won contests with a tyrantrum head and a tyrantrum body

https://media.tenor.com/OHdCF9GjALwAAAAM/pelezera-wiping-mouth.gif

[cloud solstice]

Wait next contest is probably Cressy

[limpid sphinx]

im training for that 👀

[olive sentinel]

yeah
lets skip the voting the results are obvious

[cloud solstice]

Tyrantrum meta, join the volcarona meta

[olive sentinel]

Im definitely not making a tyruntrum for that

[limpid sphinx]

btw a thing that bothers me about that meta complaining thing its cuz

[olive sentinel]

let me check if its been made yet

I can make it if I want to but I dont

[cloud solstice]

I don't care much about meta, it's for fun
As long as it doesn't break the rules

I do find it funny to see trend tho

[olive sentinel]

?

[cloud solstice]

DaTorre suspense

[limpid sphinx]

i won the secret spriter with a tyrantrum body, its literally a dinosaur and im not touching all the canvas limits with that, tbh i tried to keep it in a pretty decent size

ppl did a hell about it, complaining all the shit for that when the results was announced

saying things like "usually not the better wins"

or "kaiju and sfx meta wins everything"

[cloud solstice]

It was a request anyway, they did request a mech irrc

There was no rule against SFX, and the design is good without anyway
The pose is interesting too with the mouth cannon

[limpid sphinx]

but for trash contest, im gonna use the ntm's machamp as example, it touch all the canvas limits, the sprite is literally bigger than my TYRANTRUM BODY, but i didnt saw anyone complaining about meta stuff with that, at the end, is about big sprites, sfx. or just take shit on ppl that u dont like to see winning? i have nothing against that sprite, its amazing, i just didnt saw any people complaining about that like they did with mine, and that makes me feel kinda weird about competing here

[olive sentinel]

Im probably joining the cress contest with this one if I join at all
I dont think this is even my best cress sprite (according to reactions) but I like bellossom so I must

[cloud solstice]

It's cute 🥺

It looks annoyed

[limpid sphinx]

at the end, i just think that ppl have their favorites "spriters" and if them dont won, ppl take shit on the winner

[olive sentinel]

Im pretty sure people talked about making big sprites too

[olive sentinel]

I dont have a fav cus I dont even know who made what

[olive sentinel]

yeah

better than no emotion I guess

[cloud solstice]

Btw you aren't supposed to talk about specific sprites that are still in the competition

[olive sentinel]

btw
#spriting-guidelines message

[placid briar]

5 people voted for my fusion, now thats not much, but its 5 votes where you can only vote once

[olive sentinel]

we made an oopsie

[olive sentinel]

which one is yours?

[cedar quest]

another reason why we moved to Staff voting for a bit. People get mad at how we voted rather than the sprite maker

[placid briar]

Froslass/Garboder

[cloud solstice]

What was your entry? 👀

Ha I'm too slow

[placid briar]

Froslass/Garboder

[limpid sphinx]

i saw staff ppl talking about kherx sprite and the trash bag parasect here before, so i dont think that its a real problem at the end XD

[olive sentinel]

its froslass trubbish...

not garbodor

I checked galery for it

[placid briar]

I saw the announcement for what fusion to make, saw it was Trubbish and didn't read the rest

[placid briar]

i made both

since the contest said you could submit 2 entries

[limpid sphinx]

i mean, that means that 5 ppl have yours as favorite on that bracket, that means a lot ❤️

[olive sentinel]

I guess other one isnt in galery then?

[limpid sphinx]

spriters fan clubs, i can see that happening

[placid briar]

did i not really submit it to the gallery?

[cloud solstice]

Make an event where people join spriter clans and make them compete with each other

[placid briar]

add a /

no space

[olive sentinel]

ah yes lets split people into groups and make them fight

[olive sentinel]

it doesnt matter the result here has it too

[cloud solstice]

The SFX clan vs the Kaiju clan

[olive sentinel]

..you misstyped its name

its garbodor

[placid briar]

ooh

[cloud solstice]

It's garbodor

[placid briar]

lmao

[olive sentinel]

garbage+odor

[cedar quest]

Basically the real rule is to not let discussion influence your own voting, which trickles down to us minimizing discussion of sprites still in. It’s not even an official rule anymore or if it still is I got no clue what # it is now, clearly not 7

[olive sentinel]

not in the #rules

[cedar quest]

It used to be.

[olive sentinel]

they removed that rule so its fine now

[cedar quest]

guess it was removed with the rules overhaul a couple weeks ago

[cloud pulsar]

influencing votes its now legal guys

[cedar quest]

[steady pasture]

Damn... neither of which i'm good at

[bright crow]

vote for my sprite during quarters (its not in the quarters)

[olive sentinel]

vote my sprite I made it with love (I didnt even make one)

[bright crow]

no love to make sprites with

[olive sentinel]

[slate ginkgo]

vote for my sprite because I always wanted to win a contest (I found out about them today)

[ashen sapphire]

also: I'm not surprised this didn't make it past round 1 but I do not even care, I laugh every time I look at it and regret nothing

[olive sentinel]

enjoying it is the important thing

[stiff viper]

It's such a funny sprite. I'm very happy we have a hydrolic press

[lusty pewter]

is that with 12 color? it looks really good

[limpid sphinx]

i like it a lot

[bright crow]

https://tenor.com/view/hydraulic-press-hydrauilc-press-gif-26546673

[ashen sapphire]

Yeah!

[dull mortar]

Is this a Danganronpa V3 reference or am I going crazy

[wispy grove]

I see wym

[cloud pulsar]

oooh a hydraulic press i didnt notice what it was at first

[ashen sapphire]

no kokichi oumas were harmed in the making of that sprite :)

[tranquil fable]

Please no spoilers :(

[cedar quest]

gonna take a quick power nap then make the sheets

[woven kettle]

Hmm

I think 6 minutes is good enough

[dense jackal]

- time a spritework post has to be up before you post to gallery

[woven kettle]

True

[thin dove]

whoa! 5 people voted for my little guy again

i'm happy i'm somehow consistently getting ~3 to 5 people voting

[cyan gull]

transparency gang lost out this time

[crude cedar]

i actually wonder who the 6 people who voted for my sprite were

[cedar quest]

nap? done
dinner? done

time to get started

[cloud pulsar]

your fingers? broken.

no sheet making for you

[cedar quest]

While I got some of you in the chat, I'll ask a quick question

Would you rather vote on 128 polls on 1 day? or 2 sets of 64 a day apart?

Or in fact...

[proven heart]

omg I remember having a bunch of those toys

[sick herald]

the first option is funnier

[proven heart]

they used to come in the gashpon machines

[cedar quest]

Either or works for me, since making the sheets is nowhere near as time-consuming as moving files (of which I no longer gotta do)

It's moreso I don't know how long it takes for people to vote in one of these large batches since...I usually host the sponsoreds' pot therefore I can't vote ((although this one isn't mine, so ))

[crude cedar]

number uno

random question
r we gonna have a mergemay this year
looked fun

[thin dove]

special contest voting broke anonymity again

pov lc news:

[frigid summit]

This is well before me joining the server, I have no idea what a Little Cup is lmao

[cloud pulsar]

thats how you know this shit has been going on for way too long

[hollow gull]

I hope I win little cup loser's cup

[slow gyro]

LC now?

[hollow gull]

I wanna be king of the losers

my little guy is there

what a little fella

no one remembers it's mine but me though:)

6 million years

[slow gyro]

I do

[hollow gull]

[slow gyro]

||Pantless Robin ||

[hollow gull]

don't let that knowledge affect how you vote

[hollow gull]

I stg he has pants

in the metaphorical sense

[slow gyro]

Idk what stg means

[frigid summit]

Maybe the real pants is the friends we made along the way.

[hollow gull]

swear to gob

[lofty skiff]

Okay but like what actually is the little cup

[mortal void]

I may be dumb but I have no idea how this bracket website works

[slow gyro]

It’s a contest that’s one year old

[broken robin]

Can’t get over how absolutely ancient my lc entry is

[slow gyro]

Money prize and infinite entries

[floral vessel]

Contest that closed submissions ages ago
Fuse 2 lc pokemon together
Infinite entries
Infinite pain

[broken robin]

That thing was my second ever sprite. I think

[plucky arch]

little cup is BACK

[cloud pulsar]

a scam to get more sprites in the game

[slow gyro]

Specially me

[cloud pulsar]

specially you

[frigid summit]

What is an "lc pokemon".

[floral vessel]

First stage

[slow gyro]

First stages

[broken robin]

Little cup, technically

[floral vessel]

Lc stands for little cup yeah

Like
Base stage pokemon

[slow gyro]

As long as it can evolve and it’s not an evolution

[floral vessel]

Pokemon fresh out of egg .

[slow gyro]

So no single stage mons

I made 126 sprites in a month just for that contest

[floral vessel]

Jesus lmao

[slow gyro]

• the other sprites I made that month

[cloud pulsar]

i made 15

[slow gyro]

So like 150 if irc

[cloud pulsar]

really grinding it fr fr

[floral vessel]

I made 1 and then realized it didn't count because it was a. kangaskhan head

[cloud pulsar]

tf

[floral vessel]

In my defense

It was the baby riding a mech

And as I was spriting I completely forgot that kangaskhan is. single stage and the baby does not in fact evolve into kangaskhan

[cloud pulsar]

lmao

thats so funny

[floral vessel]

I know and understand pokemon I promise 👍

[lofty skiff]

I've seen one of those lc sprites In game which is pretty cool

[hollow gull]

medium cup when

Pikachu meta

[slow gyro]

@tall moss
MidCup when?

[slow gyro]

/jk

[cloud pulsar]

our sacrifice wanst in vain guys

[hollow gull]

I wonder if Primeape and Bisharp would count, the way Girafarig counted for LC

[cloud pulsar]

the lc sprites were for something

[slow gyro]

Gira didn’t count

[hollow gull]

well guess I know what must happen for LC4

[slow gyro]

Only mons that can evolve in IF

[hollow gull]

I think Kiwi and Gamr just start compulsively sobbing upon hearing "LC4"

[cloud pulsar]

i doubt kiwi

tee and gamr tho

[hollow gull]

gamr for sure yea

[slow gyro]

Yea they need another contest manager

[hollow gull]

I'll do it.

(I'm constantly struggling to turn in my homework and I'm pretty useless)

[acoustic saddle]

wait, those LC entries look old, so this is just a continuing of what left unfinished?

[broken robin]

its a loser's bracket

[dusk wigeon]

There are so many polls

And I can't event vote on some of ghem cause I'm on mobile
Ahdhshs

[cloud pulsar]

hmm wasnt lc spriters only?
or was that other contest

[slow gyro]

No idea

[slow gyro]

Same old LC

[tulip tusk]

time to get spammed with messages

[cloud pulsar]

just mute the bot

[tulip tusk]

forgot I can do that

[copper niche]

Is the Tympoll working? I can see number of responses and who voted for what even though it says it should be anonymous voting

In #special-contest-polls

I also didn’t get any DMs when I voted like normal

[cloud pulsar]

das normal, the bot freaks out when theres a lot of votes going at once, should be fine an a couple of minutes

and again i think lc polls are spriter only

[copper niche]

Oh oop

Uhhhhhh

Guess I’ll remove my votes lol

I figured since I can access the channel I can vote

[cloud pulsar]

well im not entirely sure if its spriter only
is this the case?@cedar quest

[silver solar]

Pretty sure i was able to vote on everything. Despite knowing the Pokemon are valid for the contest some of the entries still feel weird because of one of the components.

[cedar quest]

Seemingly not? None of the others have been Spriter Only for LC3

[cloud pulsar]

das weird

[tall moss]

you can sponsor it

collab?

[lusty pewter]

the full image

[acoustic saddle]

insert sprite work critique here

[lusty pewter]

I have never done a collab before so not really sure how the process goes, but if you're fine with me then sure maybe it'll be fun

[acoustic saddle]

u draw all the sprite, and then u added my name in 💅

[lusty pewter]

I see(?) I'm still not completely sure but it could be fun. so I just ping you in spritework of the sprite we want to collab on?

actually what do we even plan to collab on

[acoustic saddle]

buff

[lusty pewter]

why am I even surprised

[acoustic saddle]

🗿it can be anything u want

[lusty pewter]

I think it's more fun if it's smth we're both excited about doing. I remembered someone made aria/machamp before so what if we do piro/machamp?

[cloud pulsar]

damn i should have collabed with someone sooner if i knew it was that easy!

here i am doing all of the hard work

[acoustic saddle]

[acoustic saddle]

Meloette face is kind of weird on a buff body

[lusty pewter]

she be a buff body builder what you complaining about, she can dance people to death

[limpid sphinx]

amazing

[acoustic saddle]

omewamou shinderu

[limpid sphinx]

collab with me

[limpid sphinx]

NA

[cloud pulsar]

i wish i could, but my laptop broke yesterday

[acoustic saddle]

its kinda hard ngl , buff ballerina?

[lusty pewter]

could be, or it could also be in a body builder pose using the 4 arms to strike two different poses at the same time, ngl both idea sounds really interesting XD

[limpid sphinx]

i do all the work and put your name

jk

[limpid sphinx]

one of the hands holding a mic, other 2 holding a guitar and the one left making a 🤘

[acoustic saddle]

machoke is easier, thou it dont have to be, it can be other mon,

[limpid sphinx]

buff piro can goes hard, excited to see what u both can cook

https://tenor.com/view/dance-baby-yoda-baile-gif-19964686

[acoustic saddle]

isnt it just sadfrog lycanroc

[lusty pewter]

XD

singing is more of an aria thing but that sounds pretty cool too, could even give her one of those double guitar thing

[limpid sphinx]

i didnt saw it

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-greninga-collpase-defeated-gif-7715052

[limpid sphinx]

double guitar is cool

ohhh a pose like broken the guitar in the ground can be fun too

since both mons have the fight type i can imagine that type of persona

[acoustic saddle]

u two should collab then

[limpid sphinx]

triple collab

[acoustic saddle]

[limpid sphinx]

XD

i just liked the idea of yours fusion and that made me have a brainstorm

excited to see the results

^^

[lusty pewter]

well we got some ideas now so gotta make some sketches first. we could decide what to make of it later :)

[lofty skiff]

Curses for a moment I thought I was popular
Then I remembered the poll bot 😭

[shrewd dirge]

Oof I forgot to vote.

[lusty pewter]

your only friend are bots and they spite you by sending you 1 less message from 69

[lofty skiff]

Real though

[elder venture]

The LC continues...

There must be a better way to do these polls man, that's a lot of polls for one bracket.

Why are they in pairs, rather than the larger groups usually done for contest voting?

[lusty pewter]

because it's more painful which makes it more fun watching people suffer voting so many polls :)

[elder venture]

I am guessing it is some sort of voting meta thing. But hm..

Ah you know those vote sorters? I can't remember what the site is called, but it gives you two choices and you pick one, and then you do than some and it sorts them into an ordered list based on your choices? I dunno if it's possible to compile statistics from that, but that would be useful here I feel.

(that could be a fun programming challenge actually)

[acoustic saddle]

its a fighting to the dead

[elder venture]

Noo you can't pit these wee babies against each other 😭

Wait I just remembered that's what pokemon is.

[elder topaz]

Is that mobile discord

If so I'm glad I didn't update

[cloud solstice]

When I was voting the LC it felt never ending
I can't imagine doing all the 128 polls at once
It was probably even worse to create all the polls

[acoustic saddle]

let make it RNG

[cloud solstice]

That's just the weekly raffle then

[thick harness]

I believe originally the polls were meant to be spriter only; the first few LC polls were limited to only spriters and I remember that being stated in one of the original LC announcements (wherever that is lol). Not really fussed either way but

[pastel hollow]

yes, it's supposed to be spriter only

but given how much effort it is to get these polls happening I think it's best we just accept the change 💀

[thick harness]

Ah no I wasn't trying to start any drama, apologies! Like I said, i'm also just happy LC is happening. That's what's important here

[cedar quest]

well Ill fix it for the next batch

[cloud pulsar]

ha i wasnt crazy

[thick harness]

Nah, that parts still true

[cloud pulsar]

[cedar quest]

feeling sick today, hope y'all don't mind waitin till tomorrow

[lusty pewter]

oof, get well soon gamr!

[lunar comet]

some tough calls this batch jfc

[cedar quest]

im still not doing too hot

but how's bout i give ya junkard semis instead?

[cedar quest]

hm

this hasn't happened before

a tie in a poll for 3rd.

see this is why I don't vote, I get to break the ties :D

[limpid sphinx]

both passing to semis then?

[cedar quest]

nope :D

[limpid sphinx]

[stiff viper]

Mischief

[limpid sphinx]

[acoustic saddle]

bruh, two of mine entry are in the same poll

[lusty pewter]

they shall fight to the death >:)

[acoustic saddle]

same to u too lol @cloud solstice

[pastel hollow]

they all gotta fight eventually hehe

[opal canopy]

Its unfair

One got a gun

[cyan gull]

I saw that lmao

[limpid sphinx]

bro is using a cannon in the junkyard

bro is the n1 enemy of the pollution

[cloud solstice]

We have already

[limpid sphinx]

XD

[sinful pendant]

@naive summit The drive is request access only

[slow gyro]

Cress contest, huh?

[naive summit]

shit

how do I change that LMAO

[slow gyro]

Guess it’s time to do another sprite like my Giratina/Jirachi

[sinful pendant]

[limpid sphinx]

1 entry feels like just a few

[gaunt lava]

Share > Anyone with the link can [view/edit]

[naive summit]

okay I fixed it lmao

sorry

[gaunt lava]

Can confirm it works

[limpid sphinx]

oh

i saw the new goals now

[naive summit]

get cress bods to 50% so you can enter two then 👀

[limpid sphinx]

yeaaaaaaa

[limpid sphinx]

u did a amazing job >:)

the double podium is a p good idea

if we hit 70%

[naive summit]

I wanted to ping spriters again but I feel like I've done that enough lmao

[limpid sphinx]

so we can celebrate both

[sinful pendant]

@naive summit Oh no

[naive summit]

refresh or click the link from the post again? idk it says anyone with link can access

OH

I set it to view

LOL

[limpid sphinx]

XD

[naive summit]

ok try now

I'm not new at google I wear

[limpid sphinx]

howls n1 enemy of the drive

[slow gyro]

Mid Cup when?

[zinc lion]

first entry lesgooo

[limpid sphinx]

what if u turn yourself into a event manager and host the mid cup for us?

[slow gyro]

If only it’s wasn’t for school

Being an event manager sounds so fun ||except for the polls ||

Also I love orange and I want an orange name

Im redoing my Step On The Box homework for the third time

[limpid sphinx]

sad that dont exists a event helper thing, i would like to try with ideas or help with polls idk

[naive summit]

poll mines may be a thing of the past now that Grey's doing bot stuff 👀

[sinful pendant]

Orange is the best 😎

[limpid sphinx]

btw talking about polls

[sinful pendant]

They should be easier to set up at least 🙂

[naive summit]

I don't like orange or yellow tbh

[slow gyro]

It’ll be even easier if contest managers had minions

[naive summit]

tell that to Frog, we've been fighting that battle for weeks maybe months at this point

[slow gyro]

They would be the Falinks

[limpid sphinx]

i feel like the contest polls could be better, i mean, i feel like if u do a dark sprite its impossible that it stand out against a light one, cuz discord background being usually dark grey for most of the users

[naive summit]

feel free to petition for us

😭

[slow gyro]

I’ve always been on your side

[naive summit]

the uphill battle for help with events is

[limpid sphinx]

event managers consider in some way do a background for the polls images? i feel like that could be good

maybe using a mid-tone grey or a in-game background

[slow gyro]

Thats actually a good idea

[limpid sphinx]

i feel like that could help

[slow gyro]

Using a grey bg similar to discord’s grey

[limpid sphinx]

a bit lighter

[slow gyro]

Yea

[buoyant ore]

Does this sprite have excess special effects? Asking for the contest.

[limpid sphinx]

i feel like that can be good

[naive summit]

hmm maybe a translucent background with a grey tone that'd lighten it a bit against dark bg's, but also darken a bit against light mode bg

[slow gyro]

Imo it’s good, but what would ik, I’m the sfx maniac

[limpid sphinx]

ohhh amazing idea

[limpid sphinx]

not imo

[slow gyro]

For me there’s no such thing as too much sfx

[buoyant ore]

Mood

[limpid sphinx]

its just a glow effect, i dont feel it being excessive

[buoyant ore]

Ok cool

[limpid sphinx]

oh and about that, please think about it howls, i feel like something like that can improve a lot the community votes, if u need help to figuring anything feel free to dm's! ^^

[naive summit]

I'll see what can be done, it might not be as simple as it sounds with the program we use to make the brackets

[limpid sphinx]

oh

if u guys need any help i can try to do something

[lofty skiff]

Tryna think what I should submit to gallery because my favourite of my Cresselia sprites is different to the one which got the best reaction when I put it in spritework and gallery...

[buoyant ore]

If we get bodies to 50 you wont have to choose

[limpid sphinx]

that is considered "excessive sfx"? btw any feedback appreciated:

[cedar quest]

Ehh maybe no red moon?????? But the red moon also isn't like massive turbo flashy "OMG LOOK! (3am red moon 👻)" SFX so....

[cedar quest]

There isn't a setting that lets us add a BG to it, but we can always ask Tene if they're around or just load the sheet up on to a BG and save it as a new img.

also good and sadge news

[limpid sphinx]

so its okay? XD

[cedar quest]

which first :) :(

[limpid sphinx]

both at once

[cedar quest]

I'd say so???

Good news we should finally possibly maybe getting new EMs soon! Yay!
Why?

Because of the sadge news....we lost another :(

[limpid sphinx]

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[cedar quest]

We've uhhhh

Went from 5 (2 inactive)

to 3 (1 inactive).

[limpid sphinx]

oh god

tee left ☠️

[cedar quest]

and uhhh....we've already got a lot scheduled for these next few months, so to be down more people is....yikes

[limpid sphinx]

nothing about a event helpers role? 😭

[cedar quest]

((it's been a hard battle ⚡ ))

[naive summit]

public petition to get more event managers and event helpers when

how many signatures can we raise before we convince Frog to let us hire more help

[limpid sphinx]

i know at least about others 2 persons that would like being helpers too

and i would love to do that

do the public petition now >:)

i mean, event is like one of the things that most motivate ppl to make more sprites for the game, idk why should be so hard agreed with more help to that

since after the boom we have A LOT of sprites on every contest and A LOT of people to deal with

not like what im saying rn u guys probably said miles of times to frog in dms but well

we definitely need more ev managers and ev helpers

[crude cedar]

if you became an event manager you’d just help out with server events and ideas or is there more behind the scenes?

[cedar quest]

more to it than that

[naive summit]

We're basically the Perry to Frog's Phineas.

They're just Event Managers, they don't do much.
He doesn't know about our secret agent life

[sinful pendant]

||polls and spreadsheets ||

[cedar quest]

tons and tons of spreadsheets. Google Drive is ur best friend :D

[naive summit]

I do love me my spreadsheets

[lusty pewter]

Oh cool, a fun Lil cresselia contest. Might as well join and see how far I'll get :)

[acoustic saddle]

hmm so every sprite during the rush can be qualify for the contest, now u just give me reason to be lazy

[lusty pewter]

Well, I would just submit a meloetta fusion regardless anyway so might as well submit my cresselia/Aira that I've already made

[naive summit]

they can be submitted, they don't automatically get included

[lusty pewter]

No need to make a 2nd version of it XD

[acoustic saddle]

thats rough

[limpid sphinx]

nooo

do more

so we can hit more goals

[acoustic saddle]

damm i hate english wording

[cedar quest]

Finals still happening today, just...may be a little bit later than originally expected

[inland widget]

what makes a good contest sprite?

[acoustic saddle]

it depend on what contest,

[limpid sphinx]

a good spriter

[acoustic saddle]

so just make what u like

[limpid sphinx]

agreed

that is like the main thing

[cedar quest]

so true

[acoustic saddle]

no extra point for only 12 color sprite? smh

[limpid sphinx]

i feel like we should at least have a "12 color spotlight"

XD

[limpid sphinx]

one secret about my most recent contest entries its cuz im trying to do it following my personal chart, so basically if i submit something its cuz i didnt worked before with at least one of the mons on the fusion XD

[inland widget]

hmm. Gotcha. I just haven't gotten a banger like ... one in top 50%

Ideally yeah it what I like, like spiders. 90% spiders

[acoustic saddle]

whats ur entry in this contes? :0

[inland widget]

for the cresselia

[acoustic saddle]

i think for mobs vote, people like big, flashy sprite, for mods vote they like sprite that show more technical skill

[inland widget]

I cant do flashyyy

I dont think I'm a bad spriter I'm just not a hero drawing and can make the most flashy thing

especially with posing, posing difficult

[acoustic saddle]

hero still utilized a lot of customs base in his entry, maybe u could try em

[inland widget]

I dont like custom bases pfft. I've been trying to like make my own yknow cuz of personal self worth (also if I post my art ever it's fully my own)

I have used them b4 and I like the results but I feel like. wow you didn't make this basil. you can't be proud of this sprite. yknow

[frigid summit]

I've never used a custom base myself but I'm curious about trying it sometime lmao
