I live close to the campus, fortunately

[plucky crest]

not as bad then

[slow gyro]

I have friends that live 40 mins on the skytrain, so they usually stay the night at school when we have lots of hw

And also I already befriended like half the campus

[plucky crest]

baseddd

I'm only just starting college next year, so glad to be doing something that actually makes me determined

that isnt like

algebra, poems and rocks

[slow gyro]

Lol

[plucky crest]

rn getting some stuff for apps done like portfolios and all that

[limpid sphinx]

its funny how we just had a event annoucement that never gonna be finished

deleting my ultra nec/cresselia ultra worm hole from my pc*

[hollow gull]

you can keep the sprite

[cyan gull]

My UN/Necrozma

[plucky crest]

I mean if u were in the lounge a few days ago I already have had all of my sprites removed from the game

[hollow gull]

just don't post it

[plucky crest]

not really the point

[hollow gull]

I thought we were withholding our content until demands were met?

[wind matrix]

what am I backing up?

[hollow gull]

wish we had any popular support

[hollow gull]

that there were stupid arguments here before I guess

[cyan gull]

Back me up

[plucky crest]

only sprite that appears under my name is the one bee made that I helped with fire then posted

[woven kettle]

I am a man of peace

[plucky crest]

that say is a man of peace or some bllshit like that

[hollow gull]

Um... Where do I need to go to read context on *gestures wildly* all this?

[woven kettle]

Nowhere

[upper raptor]

Couldn’t tell you if I tried

[woven kettle]

You don’t need context

Don’t ask

[plucky crest]

long story short from my understanding
EMs are being treated like shit
we're backing them up and striking

no mo sprite

[void sluice]

anarchy?

[wind matrix]

nah

[plucky crest]

against frog, kinda

striking

[wind matrix]

[plucky crest]

no sprite

[woven kettle]

You have no proof smh

[cloud pulsar]

spriting is cringe

[woven kettle]

No proof Thorns

[void sluice]

Onarchy.

[dense jackal]

Well I was having a hard time working out if it was dramatic language or legitimate because nearly every "what's going on" was met with "RIOT!"
So yes actually I did need context (thanks Porter)

[wind matrix]

I have an animation of you trying to shoot Vivi

[upper raptor]

I thought we were trying to get more hands on deck since there were only like 2 EMs I leave for like 15 minutes now I’m lost

[woven kettle]

Heh,

I don’t make animations

Smh

[plucky crest]

kinda both, but frog wont let us have more EMs from the looks of things

[cyan gull]

[upper raptor]

Aight that makes more sense

[plucky crest]

this is how I'm understanding the situation, but I do know for absolute certain that frog is being a dick

and that in response we no sprite

main bits to take away

[woven kettle]

Oh yes we are so smart

Not spriting

[upper raptor]

Everyone just kept saying strike but also saying don’t be an EM and I got confused cause if you don’t want EM help then what are you striking for but that makes more sense 👍

[woven kettle]

That will definitely work

[plucky crest]

yeah

[void sluice]

we no sprite
we forks some rich people and take their treasure for ourselves

[plucky crest]

have you ever seen a strike

[void sluice]

then we take down their big wall and cause a big bam

[woven kettle]

I don’t mean to be rude, but do you really think that that’ll work

[plucky crest]

YES

[subtle moss]

I typically just get spares

[woven kettle]

You got like what, at most 25 people agreeing?

You’re not even 1% of the server

[plucky crest]

thats why we're spreading the news

[woven kettle]

But not everyone will agree

[plucky crest]

plus most of this server isnt a spriter

[limber venture]

dude youre so right. we should never try anything ever because theres a chance it might not work

gg

[plucky crest]

god you dont get it do you

so what

should we just let frog get his way

[limpid sphinx]

say are u being serious?

[paper trench]

what about

you all

calm down

[severe dust]

[limpid sphinx]

millian u gonna be ev manager?

[paper trench]

What's happening

[limpid sphinx]

[paper trench]

[mellow wagon]

Hi mods

[paper trench]

my royale is different

[woven kettle]

Don’t ask

Stupid drama

[plucky crest]

nah

they should ask

[limpid sphinx]

u are stupid

thats the truth

😉

[plucky crest]

we're striking because event managers are being treated like shit from my understanding

[tranquil fable]

Guys what's even the drama about ;-;

[woven kettle]

Alright no need to be rude

[tranquil fable]

Ah I see?

[slow gyro]

DaTorre calm down

[plucky crest]

drama isnt really the word

[void sluice]

actually isn't stupid when the truth that someone is being mistreated and they're not giving a fuck

[woven kettle]

No not that part

[void sluice]

anarchy

[paper trench]

if stuff could be solved in a minute

[plucky crest]

again, not really the work

[paper trench]

it already would've

[plucky crest]

*word

[mellow wagon]

Nah its a joke so you legally can't get offended

[rapid knot]

I think the word here, ironically, is discord

[paper trench]

Schrodinger's joke

it's a joke if people get offended

it's not if not

[mellow wagon]

Rule 17 CODE OF CONDUCT: Be nice. Not just in this server, either, this is a good rule for life in general. Assume the best intentions of those you speak to, apologise if you hurt them, and allow them to apologise if they hurt you. Politeness and patience can stop a lot of unnecessary aggression.

[hollow gull]

what a useless word, "drama"

[woven kettle]

I didn’t take it as a joke

[slow gyro]

I don’t think being rude it’s considered a joke

[hollow gull]

instantly delegitimizes everything

[void sluice]

we all wish that it could be true, mil 😔

[woven kettle]

You know what I’m gonna be smart about this

See you later guys

[plucky crest]

can you all just calm down for a second, and trust me I'm saying this

[slow gyro]

See ya Say! Take care

[woven kettle]

You too man

[still steeple]

Only if people want it to be, and it sounds like upper management having no interest in attaining such solutions is itself part of the grievance.

[red vigil]

it is just me or the riot spirit kinda fly away ?

[cedar quest]

good

[plucky crest]

it seems to be becoming more of a strike now

[paper trench]

Police came

[void sluice]

sup Freeman

[paper trench]

riots stopped

[plucky crest]

HIIII

[tranquil fable]

Ok, so, what happened to the event managers?

[void sluice]

so I need to turn off my torch?

[paper trench]

Tee left the server

I don't know how much Katten does

as it's not my jurisdiction

but from what i've heard

it's basically only Howls and Gamr (don't kill me katten, I dont know)

[plucky crest]

thats what it seems like

[void sluice]

sup Freeman

[naive summit]

(correct, and yeah that's no offense to Katten, she's got more important stuff goin on)

[mellow wagon]

Eep

[plucky crest]

u earnt it queen

[slow gyro]

Yea rest well bestie, we’ll take it from here

[limpid sphinx]

nice. u muted me for that right?

[naive summit]

I have a comfy sweater and my cat rn

[limpid sphinx]

why u dont muted say?

[paper trench]

I didnt see say say anthing bad

[still steeple]

oough... confor.ble....

[paper trench]

whilst you called them stupid

[hollow gull]

so let's say the reason the EMs are ridden so hard is because they're understaffed. The clear answer to this is to increase staffing, no? I understand that's easier said than done but it appears that frog has blocked both new EM forms going out and the potential for Event Helper roles.

[slow gyro]

Drama is not a person

[paper trench]

unblock dyno if you don't know your mute reasons

smh

[limpid sphinx]

but its a case

more than one person talking about that

if u say that a case is a stupid drama

[paper trench]

you got muted for insulting say

not for the drama

[limpid sphinx]

u are offending all these persons that agreed with it

u can read?

damn

[void sluice]

rest well, have a nice nap

[mellow wagon]

Kid named drama:

[limpid sphinx]

im talking about what say said

[slow gyro]

Bestie just chill about it, you’re definitely not right

[dusk schooner]

Loving the energy here right now

[limpid sphinx]

ok

good bye

bye

[paper trench]

lovely

[tranquil fable]

;-;

[red vigil]

ok, how the good and bad cope ?

[slate ginkgo]

damn the server icon really fits the state of the server

[cedar quest]

Well then, this is not how I thought my Saturday would be going

[still steeple]

yeah step down friend, pick your battles

[hollow gull]

this is why you wait to strike until you have information

[dusk schooner]

If you wanna garner support, what good does being an ass to random people do

[hollow gull]

organized labor, not disorganized chaos

[paper trench]

You can strike without being asses

[naive summit]

Man yall need to dial it back a little, you can strike or whatnot without directly insulting other random people

[paper trench]

there is better things to do than to just be mean to everyone

[hollow gull]

I'm doing a good job of it I'd think

[paper trench]

for once, I agree with you Wyag

[slow gyro]

That’s not nice of you
Remember that Say is still a child

[hollow gull]

I've matured a bit in the last year

[cedar quest]

Thought I'd just be making my announcements, getting the Junkyard podium ready, and doing LC polls.

Not making a statement about the conditions n' whatnot to try and get some people to support the cause for more EMs, and then watching it all unfold into an angry mess.

[tulip jungle]

"I wonder how event general is doing, let me just go give it a look and see what people are talking ab-"

[naive summit]

The mob mentality hast reared it's head

[still steeple]

Grafai has entered the chat
Grafai has left the chat

[slow gyro]

Lmao

[hollow gull]

tragic occurrence

[paper trench]

oi

it's Milian Royale o'clock

[hollow gull]

those of you left alive

support the cause?

[sick herald]

yippee

[tranquil fable]

So essentially the event managers are trying to get more event managers and it somehow ended in a strike?

[naive summit]

Appreciate the support for em's though, just please don't attack other random spriters and server members while doing it

[hollow gull]

I'm still going to strike meself

[paper trench]

those that have, have been struck by

[hollow gull]

keep up the word, look for announcements from strike managers

[paper trench]

you want to make a change, there are better ways to do it

as for now, you've just shown how great you are at handling "strikes"

[cyan gull]

a smooth criminal

[tulip jungle]

Goodness this is confusing to walk into. Guess I need to go read.

https://tenor.com/view/ratatouille-disney-disney-ratatouille-disney’s-ratatouille-gif-6885947684231525203

[slate ginkgo]

I think DaTorre was the only angry one

[plucky crest]

ok this has been confusing me the entire time I was timed out

[cedar quest]

Byeah don't do that. It's why all I did was make a statement, and then provide proof I wasn't making stuff up. Honestly a strike don't do much since....that just means not participating in the stuff I make???? ? ? ? ? Oh no, you sure showed them that we need more EMs by not entering the stuff I worked hard on, and thefore Events aren't worth it

[woven kettle]

You know just a tip you can just not read it and do something else

[slate ginkgo]

But idk maybe I missed someone

[plucky crest]

because I am as well

[paper trench]

tl;dr

Event manager left
2 are doing things (out of 3)
We need more
Say comes in and tries to calm shit down
Say gets called names

[limber venture]

that was one guy

1

[plucky crest]

not at all what happened but aight

[paper trench]

2 actually

[plucky crest]

say was just as bad as us

[tranquil fable]

What happened then?

[slow gyro]

No

[void sluice]

support the cause, not cause a riot and don't cause trouble or offend other people, because that's not how it should be
that's it?

[tulip jungle]

Thank you made that much easier to follow.

[plucky crest]

but hey, seems like defending my pov got me muted last time so guess I should just stfu then

[hollow gull]

say came in to say that strikes don't work

[paper trench]

your POV included calling say names

[naive summit]

Other key context: we've been asking for help (either helper role or more em's) for almost two months now, it just got worse since Tee left us down to two, and it's still an uphill battle somehow

[paper trench]

obviously it's not the full thing

but that's what my 5 minutes are worth

[cyan gull]

Sorry to hear

[limber venture]

yeah but strikes dont work so like.. suck it up sweaty ig?

[plucky crest]

I call everyone bitches, I'd hardly consider that a name

[red vigil]

maybe closing sprite conteste until we got more event manager nah ?

[paper trench]

[naive summit]

Nah we didn't call for a strike

Idk who did lol

[paper trench]

Your "I call everyone" is someone elses wound getting dug in deeper and deeper

[tulip jungle]

Oh for sure, but it helps make skimming easier

[plucky crest]

does saying someone was being a bitch really deserve a mute under that

[paper trench]

5 minutes?

yes

if it was more than that? no

[plucky crest]

yeah I dont get ur logic

[stiff viper]

Not the time to congratulate the winners of junkyard jumble I see

[plucky crest]

but that happened already who cares

[hollow gull]

porter bestie I know it's gonna suck but you might have to do some civility politics if you want to be listened to

[tranquil fable]

Isn't that against a rule?

[tulip jungle]

Oh it's a jumble in here 🙂

[paper trench]

I call person bad name
I get muted for breaking a rule
I don't get the logic of that

[plucky crest]

can we maybe just move on

[cedar quest]

Honestly Mil, just close this chat down for a bit. I promise you it's better this way

[tranquil fable]

This is the true junkyard jumble

[mortal void]

this is literally been confusing me the entire time I've been reading through this trainwreck....logically how does a strike help with the problem..? if anything it re-enforces it. Oh look, people not doing events because they're on strike. Guess you don't need EMs anymore anyways? Problem solved.
Feels like being getting angry and lashing out in the easiest way possible they can think, wanting to lead a charge and be important...not actually solve anything. Why hasn't anyone asked what the reason for no additional EMs is? I'm curious about that, if there's no reason given by the frog that's pretty shitty, but seems weird to me. Nonsensical. Sorry for long ramble.

[woven kettle]

I owe an apology if I came out in anyway rude or insulted anyone by saying my view on the whole situation. At the moment I was overwhelmed and I just didn’t want anything to lead to any other events in a negative way. I’m sorry that I started more drama and I hope we can just move on from it.

[sinful pendant]

Well GamR,

[paper trench]

actually I guess I do

[woven kettle]

There’s one you can fix

This one

[paper trench]

Milian royale is now an actual contest

that was the secret announcement

[tulip jungle]

will I be shot on sight if I send a wip of a contest entry?

[paper trench]

isn't that what #spriting-discussion is for?

[woven kettle]

Yes

No wip allowed smh

Only in #1050404143807873157 and #spriting-discussion

[paper trench]

Regardless

I need a judge for my royale

[sly gorge]

well you've got a strong true but I also wanted to know if the entry would be shot on sight for referencing Great Tusk

[hollow gull]

I think some (albeit righteous) indignation from living in a world where labor rights are ignored, if not outright spat on, is spilling over into this dispute

[paper trench]

17 entries

[sly gorge]

in a Donphan fusion sprite?

[merry mica]

*only in #spriter-general and #spriter-general-lounge

[naive summit]

We're two people, ultimately, and I'll be honest, Gamr is the only one between the two of us with any experience hosting actual contests (I'm mostly "the rush person" lol, but I'm learning 😭)

Getting more people on the event team is ultimately down to convincing Frog that we actually do need more event people, and that we haven't been begging for the last two months just for the fun of it.

Regardless, until then, just be patient with the few we have until we get more on deck. And of course, any support for doing such would be great (please be civil though lol). That might include having to wait until one of us is online for any questions to be answered and such (which might be a few hours, gotta sleep sometime lol)

[mellow wagon]

Nuh uh that's not a real channel

[hollow gull]

people are desperate to feel like they are doing something

[sinful pendant]

Can I judge and give everyone a 5?

[stiff viper]

On a different note, I'm very excited for the newest contest. Sounds super creative

[hollow gull]

I will go back to doing my sprite if things are somewhat resolved

[limber venture]

have you tried not sleeping? youd have plenty of time to host contests then

seems like an easy solution

[paper trench]

you can most certainly judge, yes

[hollow gull]

hence, what a strike is

[paper trench]

I'd love for you to be objective tho

[tulip jungle]

In the event that more people are deemed necessary, any clue how that might be decided?

[paper trench]

let me get the thing ready

[limber venture]

idk why ems dont just work 24/7... lazy

[mortal void]

can I ask why your requests for more EMs were denied? were you given any reasoning at all? it just seems so unjustified to a simple problem with a simple solution I'm finding it hard to understand

[hollow gull]

tbh

[paper trench]

how dare they

[stiff viper]

Thank you to both Howls and Gamr for all your hard work. It means a lot to the server, and as a relatively new person in it it's been super fun participating in events you guys have hosted

[sinful pendant]

I think I can do that

[paper trench]

getting my thing ready, I'll explain the details in dms

[hollow gull]

I wonder if gamr has a 40 hour work week 9-5

[naive summit]

Most likely we'd open applications for it and select from those who apply.

[hollow gull]

objectively vote for my entry the best

[tulip jungle]

Understood. Just curious, for absolutely no reason at all

[sinful pendant]

I will now be taking any and all bribes as part of my judging duty

[hollow gull]

shhhh asking questions is dangerous

[hollow gull]

I'll make you a red panda sprite

[cyan gull]

I'll tell you all future prompts

[sinful pendant]

Make them compete in a contest and the winners get to be EVs

[sick herald]

if i perhaps make an arcanine, would that get extra points?

[woven kettle]

NO TELL ME I NEED TO PROCRASTINATE

[mortal void]

asking questions is the only way to understand or solve anything though makes too much sense for this chat maybe? I don't want to join in shouting though

[naive summit]

You'd have to ask Frog and Kiwi why, exactly, they don't think we need more people, as far as I'm aware we've never received an actual reason (other than "what would helpers even do? What would managers do if helpers did the smaller tasks?")

The impression I've gathered though, is that we don't actively do enough to warrant it.

[hollow gull]

always time to join the strike

[tranquil fable]

I will actually work as a zigzagoon

[limber venture]

not enough contest managers to do anything meaningful
ask for more contest managers to help do stuff
"you dont do anything meaningful so you dont need more contest managers"
gg

[sick herald]

i believe we've established that a strike doesn't rlly do anything

[sinful pendant]

You’re already one of the best miners out there bribe denied

[hollow gull]

idk doesn't sound like that's the case to me

[naive summit]

That's the impression I've gathered from interactions over the last few months involving asking for help.

[hollow gull]

https://tenor.com/view/i-find-your-lack-of-faith-disturbing-gif-13250152

[mortal void]

yeah that's very weird. I guess they seem to think it's unjustified. It's annoying that the only way to convince someone otherwise would be even more work, like showing a full breakdown of duties vs time etc....what a pain for something voluntary, you'd think you've be taken at your word for being overworked but then again I don't know them personally so 🤷 from an outside observer it does seem unfair though

[naive summit]

I can grab direct quotes if you want?

[hollow gull]

[mortal void]

I guess? I'm just curious/trying to understand the reasoning to something that seems so....doable? open and shut? it's such a shame it's causing issues like this

[thin dove]

is Tee ok?

[hollow gull]

dead in ditch

[still steeple]

if they were being paid the unwarranted thing would make sense; we've just established that there is no pay, thus it really doesn't

[thin dove]

[hollow gull]

too many LC polls

[naive summit]

Tee is okay yes

[hollow gull]

smh I'm gonna make a union so next time there's a strike it actually matters

well I'll start it, too much on my hands to actually run one

speaking of it's time I do more chemistry homework

[mellow wagon]

So you're trying to cover it up /j

[cloud pulsar]

old stew with the conspiracy theories

[still steeple]

I'm gonna start my own Pokémon Infinite Fusion! With Blastoise, aaand Hoothoot! And forget the game!

[woven kettle]

I think we should all join my Pokémon fan game

Fokemon: Pinfinite Iusions

[naive summit]

But so far, every time we've asked, we've been met with excuses or requests in return. We literally have to convince them we need help (because, from what it seems like, they've decided that we don't.)

Every request is met with "well, we'll need your event schedule for the next few months before we decide if you need more" or "well, what would helpers do? What would you guys even do if they did those things?" etc.

So the impression I've gotten from it all, is they're of the opinion we don't need help or have enough work to warrant more people (regardless of the fact that we've been asking for it)

[mellow wagon]

Almost forgot that I changed my nick

man I love sprite contests

[naive summit]

[proven heart]

[mellow wagon]

Where are my sprite contes?

[naive summit]

For the record we had at least 4 contests, finishing the rush, and finishing LC lined up for this month alone, I'm not sure if we'll be able to tackle all that with 2 managers

[mortal void]

seems like it. You could press the issue with evidence, like I said lists and data showing you need the help but...I agree that you shouldn't need to do that, not being taken at your word on this seems quite harsh for, again, an unpaid position

[naive summit]

But we'll see

[proven heart]

[tulip jungle]

If I may, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a team behind it. The klefkis have more folks and we deail with far less people.

[proven heart]

well if you guys need another event manager just hire Say

VoteSay2024

[woven kettle]

Nah

[naive summit]

I guess the klefki's have one dedicated task where as event helpers wouldn't

[woven kettle]

I appreciate that but I don’t know

[thick harness]

I mean, surely the fact little cup has taken this long in the first place is indication that contest managers need more help

[naive summit]

Idk like I said it doesn't seem fair but

Maybe things will change

[slow gyro]

Make the polls for you to host

[naive summit]

Ball is in their court

[hollow gull]

do they forget you have to do polls and shit? you still haven't finished LC because it's a goddamn beast

if anything you need an EM just for LC

[tulip jungle]

Surprised people opted for the riot route as well, instead of say...a petition. It just means we have more events, so it's a big win for us

[naive summit]

I was thinking of a petition but idk if it'd do anything lol

[hollow gull]

Jesus Christ

[thin dove]

i mean, frog can look at it this way:
little cup promised people actual tangible rewards like money
it's been a little under half a year since LC3 started

[tulip jungle]

Got my signature.

[hollow gull]

you could always... strike

I was playing DnD and got dragged into the drama

Why does it matter if your assistants are 90% idle anyway? If they're fully required at the busy event times then surely there's no harm having them around in between?

It’s okay bestie, we’ll tell you what happen

[thin dove]

oh damn you're in the same game together?

[hollow gull]

literally discredited my point within seconds

made us instantly look irrational

[red vigil]

Natural 1

[cedar quest]

yeah sorry I wasn't around today either...you can probs tell why

[hollow gull]

but like I said, in today's world people -especially young people -want to feel like they're doing something

[sick herald]

is there a manager dnd session lmao

[thin dove]

anyway @cedar quest can i have locations that "exist" in pokemon that shouldn't

[mellow wagon]

Yeah, again its not like they have to pay them

[cedar quest]

like????

[slow gyro]

We went to the house of a rich guy to get the quest, and I befriended the guard, the lady and rich guy, then we played I need a hero, while my rats sang (and actually performed well), and we’ll play at a kid’s party in a month

[cyan gull]

I made a joke about a stike and things went down

[sick herald]

r u a bard?

[tulip tusk]

what's going on?

[slow gyro]

Im a monk

[cyan gull]

so your party are murderous clowns for hire

[sick herald]

ahh i see, the bonking class

[woven kettle]

Nothing just the usual IF drama

[slow gyro]

With 18 charisma and 14 hp

[mellow wagon]

Witch hunt pory now for stirring chaos

[hollow gull]

no don't you see? an extra event manager will cause everyone here to die because 2's company and 3's a crowd

that's why they finished off Tee

[woven kettle]

Congrats on winning by the way it’s a huge accomplishment to win an IF contest

[tulip tusk]

the new blue in my name scared me ngl

[sick herald]

charisma monk is smth i've never seen before lmao

[hollow gull]

sorry this happened on the day of your win

[cyan gull]

new promotion: banned user

[naive summit]

Poll Grunts were the first thing we considered and asked for; Frog is of the opinion that it's not "something someone can just pitch in with when needed" and "it requires so much organization already that they might as well be managers"

(but still didn't get managers lol)

[cyan gull]

[hollow gull]

[naive summit]

Anyways we're working with Grey on potentially automating polls somehow, or at least making it easier

[hollow gull]

hype shit

[cedar quest]

I think we've come to an agreement.

[sick herald]

lets go

[hollow gull]

yay strike over

[slow gyro]

Then we went to a tavern, when kiwi and paya tried to seduce/intimidate some students there to get free drinks for the party (and succeeded), I tried to flirt with a rich muscle mommy and failed, and then the party got into a fight, I just backed up

[cedar quest]

I'll catch ya up Howls.

[tulip tusk]

y'all getting staff for managing polls?

[hollow gull]

I can post again hype

this is literally all thanks to me withholding my invaluable labor

[naive summit]

Okie

[tulip jungle]

I'm unsure if this was a good or bad thing.

[red vigil]

What was conclude in a nutshell ?

[tulip jungle]

Let's let them figure that out I think. We'll find out in time I'm sure.

[mellow wagon]

[slow gyro]

Im also a tiefling with dragon features and can set myself on fire

[woven kettle]

New contest when?

[sick herald]

lmao

[slow gyro]

And I have a small swarm of friendly rats

[cyan gull]

[cedar quest]

There's already the Cres one goin' on and I literally announced a new one today

[woven kettle]

No

New one

[tulip tusk]

Ok I read up a bit did somebody get banned???

Wait Milian Royale counts as a contest!

[sick herald]

datorre's pfp reverted to the default one so idk if he left or smth

[woven kettle]

I can do that maybe

[cedar quest]

hm, let's see can I use /purge

[worthy shuttle]

Why winner not fusion

[cedar quest]

would be the easiest way to get rid of all the riot stuff

Y'all crazy I was not gonna go that far with a riot

[slow gyro]

Yea he probably left :(

[hollow gull]

I forgot how much of my time stupid discord stuff devours

[sick herald]

big sad that he left over this

[cyan gull]

I made a joke and it blew out of proportion, sorry

[woven kettle]

If you won a contest you’re actually gonna turn into a Pokémon fusion from the game, fortunately you get a choice

[paper trench]

I just need to ping people

[woven kettle]

No you don’t need to apologize

[paper trench]

the placements are ready

[woven kettle]

It’s not your fault that people took it too far

hello folk

[cloud pulsar]

again i cameback and now the stuff is over
discord sure is magical

[cedar quest]

Howdy ho

Y'all ready for some LC pols

[dense jackal]

That's a high output spriter to just dip out over what looked like a light disagreement o.O

[cyan gull]

Hey, the winning sprite!

[bright crow]

strike?

wha habba

[cyan gull]

Can we riot over them?

[sick herald]

rlly big shame

[cedar quest]

Not again!

Also yeah we good.

[meager pond]

it was him and one other person arguing from what i saw

[dense jackal]

*and nothing was learned that day* 😆

[cedar quest]

It's just better to not mention what happened on 2/3/2024 @ 4:02pm EST

[slow gyro]

I don’t want the money at the expense of your suffering
Stop suffering so I can get my money

[bright crow]

not to mention mention

Im chaotic good lol

And Xillo is my brother, my besto frendo

[slow gyro]

Xillo and me

We’re both monks

[tulip tusk]

im kinda mad I didn't center my sprite because now it's not centered on the discord thumbnail

I don't know if not centering my sprites is an issue since I place them as if they were on the battle map without considering much else?

[cedar quest]

Hm, what should I eat?

[cedar quest]

Oh I can fix that

[tulip tusk]

it didn't happen, no more drama ty

NO WAY THATS A KIRBY REFERENCE

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-superstar-kirby-super-fun-pack-kirby-super-deluxe-dedede-king-dedede-gif-25599211

[thin dove]

so i'm guessing the location has to be on the sprite to count?

[hollow gull]

nice to see a newcomer win a contest

[slow gyro]

As long as you’re referencing them

[cedar quest]

((trying to find it))

[cedar quest]

oh god no, as long as you're referrencing a location.

For example, Voltorb Flip thing

That'd referrence the Game Corner

[sick herald]

im guessing that most of them are gonna be torterra's and pallossands

[hollow gull]

wasn't this literally your 4th if sprite? @tulip tusk

[tulip tusk]

no xdcfvgbhnj

46th submitted sprite and 49th fusion pokemon sprite in general

[hollow gull]

[tulip tusk]

[slow gyro]

Bro I’m still trying to win one

[hollow gull]

I feel foolish

[sick herald]

im trying to submit one lmao

[hollow gull]

you've literally been here since 2017 I feel foolish

[thin dove]

i don't give myself the hubris to believe i'll win one of these contests. I'm just happy i see people voting for a sprite i made every now and then

[tulip tusk]

na I've been here since Oct 2023, been on discord since 2017

[wind matrix]

skill issue

[slow gyro]

Toto I want you yo go there and win the contest
I even give you permission to beat me, but do your best

[thin dove]

HA! we'll see

[woven kettle]

I’ve been a regular in IF for a year already

[thin dove]

and by that i mean wow that'd take a miracle and a half

[civic mauve]

Same ^^; Someday we’ll do it ^_^

[thin dove]

but i can't say i won't try

[woven kettle]

I’ve also learned from IF I procrastinate too much

[slow gyro]

You just need to try hard enough

I have no idea what I’ll do but I’m definitely doing Torterra cause it’s my boy

[hollow gull]

I just need to actually get the sprite in my head onto a canvas and I can win

[limber venture]

guyana fusion...

[tulip tusk]

I think mine was voted for since it was funny but I think that the reshiram fusion had far better shading and more creative design elements to make the mimikyu gimmick work

[civic mauve]

Probably going to try for Palossand myself ^^

[cyan gull]

Based sand

[little cypress]

First is hardly comparable in a SINGLE contest to regularly placing or getting a special mention

[naive summit]

I wonder if I could somehow make a Cleffa body sprite reference a location lol

[slow gyro]

That’s a great idea!

[naive summit]

@tulip jungle what do you think

[slow gyro]

Is the moon a location?

[sick herald]

does the sun count?

bc its technically in every pokemon game

[little cypress]

Anywhere or anything with a pentagram or star would do it

[civic mauve]

Cleffa is a star. Kalos is a star. Do an entire region in that tiny sprite

[tulip jungle]

I have been pondering this question all day.

[naive summit]

Hahaha

[hollow gull]

does pokemon have like an astronomically accurate sun? or is it just a fucking pokemon up there

[tulip jungle]

And I do not know. This prompt messes with my head.

I have to throw out everything I know about traditional fusions and...mountain?

[thin dove]

.....oh!

i could do that thing i've meant to do for half a year now

that's a location!

[hollow gull]

do it

[naive summit]

Waiting for someone to just do a Diglett fusion and say it's a ref to Diglett Cave

[little cypress]

Can someone do a Battle Pyramid reference maybe?

[sick herald]

this contest prompt has made me realise just how little i know about pokemon locations

[little cypress]

And like make a pyramid?

[naive summit]

Wait no

[mellow wagon]

my sprite will be a reference to the planet earth since the fusion lives there

[tulip jungle]

Even the ones I do know I'm just wondering..."how"

[naive summit]

Someone do a Mew and reference South America

It was in the anime

And a dex entry

[sick herald]

i forgor

[cedar quest]

Both were really good

[sick herald]

could i do girafarig and call it africa bc africa is mentioned in a pokemon card?

[cedar quest]

Oh shoot Howls we still gotta do the spotlight stuff...right?

[naive summit]

https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Guyana

Legit real

[tulip jungle]

The one I won't do but really want to see is a PorygonZ/Hypno that's just the Dream World website with an "error 404 website not found"

[cedar quest]

I had one in mind

[tulip jungle]

It is a location.

[naive summit]

Oh yeah

[mellow wagon]

india is cannon becaused indian elephants are mentioned in a raichu dex

[little cypress]

Aren’t Cufant and Copperajah from there too?

[naive summit]

Nah they're just mentioned to be from a different region

[slow gyro]

Lmao imagine putting a gym on the back of Torterra and just changing the head for the one of the ace of that gym leader

[sick herald]

who would do that

[cloud pulsar]

omg

[sick herald]

i might just submit a chansey and call it a pokemon centre ref

[little cypress]

BTW @cedar quest, the event announcements right now just seem like you’re some rando talking to no one on the street at night 🤣

[slow gyro]

I would

[slate ginkgo]

I want to see a porygon fusion that references the cyberspace from Electric Soldier Porygon

[cedar quest]

When am I not?

[sick herald]

could i make a porygon/pikachu that references the whole porygon ordeal

[naive summit]

https://tenor.com/view/talking-to-self-talking-to-air-subway-bus-lady-gif-23497665

[still steeple]

The Tree of Beginning from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is a tempting inspiration, but it may be a lil niche

[mild crescent]

[cyan gull]

Brazew 🇧🇷

[mild crescent]

Thats a lot of work to sprite

[still steeple]

Not if yer smart about it!

[little cypress]

Someone could make the top thing from Ranger right?

[naive summit]

Nah Guyana is an actual place. With its own flag too.

[little cypress]

That draws the lines to capture?

[slow gyro]

My favorite region is sinnoh but I already referenced the most important place on there

[cyan gull]

Did you know that France shares more border with Brazil than any of the other countries?

[naive summit]

You mean that thing that made me nearly break my ds when I was a child?

[tulip tusk]

crystal crossing from mystery dungeon

[mellow wagon]

I should make a zubat fusion and you guys have to guess which cave it is a reference to

[slow gyro]

[cedar quest]

niche is good usually.

[naive summit]

We love niche

[tulip tusk]

https://i.redd.it/3la93mfotjr51.gif

also the beach from mystery dungeon

wait palkia has a dungeon in explorers of sky

[little cypress]

Yep, that exactly

[little cypress]

All of them

[little cypress]

Until you make a Sinnoh Temple from Hisui before it was destroyed, Mt. Sinnoh is only partially done

[slow gyro]

I could do the champion’s chamber and literally put Cynthia on the back of Garchomp/Torterra

[little cypress]

What about using something for the Dragon Lair near Claire?

That’s a throwback for sure

[slow gyro]

Maybe

I’ve been wanting to do Zoroark/Torterra with N’s castle on the back of it but that thing is huge and no idea how to make it fit

[sharp mountain]

I wish I had the time to really participate, so instead I will post ideas! Use them.

An Articuno/Digglett or Groudon or Kyogre to represent the Seafoam Islands. Part of the pokemon would represent the land, the ice, and sea.

A Voltorb/Magneton to be the Ferris Wheel for Black and White. Or Amoongus, I guess.

If you really want to be cursed, do Weepinbell/Digglet for Diglett's tunnel or something

There's a few Pokémon you could use this, but I think Cofagrigus and another Pokémon could represent the little golden pedastal you get Z-Stones at.

Arceus/Pallosand for the Temple of Sinnoh.

Electrode and Cresselia fusing to represent the Moonview arena.

Hoenn Fossil/Pallosand, or maybe Trapinch, that'll be the Mirage Tower!

Klefki, Jynx, or plenty of other mons could represent Ice Path. Have those little ice stones!

Primape/Gyarados for Lake of Rage? You could also do Electrode/Magikarp for the Rocket Hideout's effects.

Trevenant and Reshiram or Zekrom could represent Parfum Palace. Lucario/Trevenant might work for a shaggy Lucario, like Furfrou? Hmm.

[slow gyro]

Just look at that

[little cypress]

Somebody could also do a Trevenant self-fusion for the Black exclusive Forest place, name escapes me right now

[slow gyro]

White Forest?

Holdup

Exclusive to white tho

[little cypress]

Oh was it white? Oops

I didn’t finish that Gen haha

[little cypress]

Yes, that’s the one

I suppose Black City could be Necrozma and something else?

[cedar quest]

I could not find the pfp

:(

[subtle moss]

okay I've not been paying attention

[naive summit]

OK but Diglett/Wailord with its mouth wide open and the inside is Diglett Cave lol

[subtle moss]

what the heck is up with what you wrote in the announcements

[little cypress]

If you just did the little bit in the front it’s doable. ||Actually I looks like a sandcastle in the back of a turtle ||

[naive summit]

Old news

[subtle moss]

Oh

[little cypress]

@subtle moss

[naive summit]

Dw about it, things are being solved

[bleak flint]

funny you mention that. i was thinking white forest could be Reshiram/torterra

[subtle moss]

Well okay

[timid echo]

Silly

[little cypress]

I suggested a Trevenent self fusion but that works too

OH MY GOD can someone PLEASE do the insane stadium from Coliseum?!

Realgam Tower

[thin dove]

!!! ohhhhh my god

[subtle moss]

I'm doing fakegam tower

[still steeple]

lmao your handle is exactly the same as my good friend's handle, joyousfrog

this is super cute!!

[thin dove]

oh?

Fake Legs Tower?

....!!!!
ohhh my god
THE UNDER

[bleak flint]

not sure what fusion this would be but this would be cool

[sick herald]

rayquaza and absol maybe?

[subtle moss]

well

[bleak flint]

also im probably not going to make any sprite so any ideas i am suggesting are free to take

[subtle moss]

it's a white and black dragon

[timid echo]

Wait fr
Or is this a joke? I cant tell lol

[still steeple]

no! you're both joyousfrog! I had to check that you weren't him haha

took me aback

[timid echo]

I changed it for a joke lol
Neat coincidence tho :0

[bleak flint]

also can not forget Ballonlea Town

[subtle moss]

Sadly we're not getting morellul

or wherever the l's are in that word

[proven heart]

People of #event-general i promise there will be more events and better ones if you vote for me VoteChimbly2024

[bleak flint]

maybe a Parasect fusion?

OMG how did i forget about chargestone cave????

[ashen sapphire]

literally did a mirage tower and did not see this post lol--

[cyan gull]

Prime Probopass territory

[cyan gull]

I was working on Ultra Space (and I almost pulled hairs figuring it out)

[bleak flint]

legit this could be fire!

[dense jackal]

Pretty sure it's crystals

[ashen sapphire]

I picked Mirage Tower and Laverre City (specifically the gym)

[cyan gull]

The bug gym from gen 5 goes hand in hand with webs

[bleak flint]

gen 5 really went hard with enviornments huh...

[ashen sapphire]

As much shit as Kalos gets, the autumny forest town with the fairy gym is in my top 5 cities in the Pokeworld I'd choose to live in

[cyan gull]

To me gen 5, 3 and 2 have some of the best minute yet impactful scenarios

Gen 4's big city and traditional clash never got me, and gen 6 and beyond are pretty bombastic

Gen 8 and 9 are mostly unremarkable in my opinion

Gen 1 is the standard of measurement

[proven heart]

Oooh that would be a really cool torterra fusion

[cyan gull]

I think this is also going to introduce a few folk to Torterra and Palossand

[ashen sapphire]

free thought: Venusaur can be a solid body for this too

like torterra but less optimal

well, maybe more optimal depending on what you're doing

[cyan gull]

Towers are better on Venu imo

Blastoise isn't half bad either

Lapras

Wailord

Trevenant

[bleak flint]

yeah Kalos has some cool places!

[cyan gull]

I love the Lumiose tower

[subtle moss]

I considered using that

then realized I don't hate myself

[bleak flint]

lol

would the ultimate weapon count as a location??? idk could work for a venusaur fusion

[subtle moss]

if a building counts, that probably counts.

[bleak flint]

Venusaur destroyer of worlds

[cyan gull]

Who's making Sprout Tower?

Or Lavender Town's tower

[next geyser]

Hi yall, so this'll be the first contest like this I've joined in on, couple of quick questions- are we only allowed one entry? and are using someone's custom base allowed or no?

[cedar quest]

yes

[bleak flint]

cool

[cedar quest]

it's a big part of Geosenge Town

[subtle moss]

I mean, it says two entries

[next geyser]

Ah yes sorry I skipped that part, thanks!

[cedar quest]

You are allowed to use other's base, unless it explicity states Do not use for Contest

[next geyser]

okay cool, many thanks

[sick herald]

soreile the speed demon

[bleak flint]

Oh i didnt even consider Palasand but that could also be a good one for this contest

[sick herald]

one thing with the cradily/palossand is that it kind of just has cradily's on a building

[subtle moss]

I have a really dumb idea for one entry

the other one I'll probably do something more like these

[bleak flint]

just gonna put this here

[steady pasture]

I... don't think i can actually do this contest. It's a huge skill issue for me since i can't do non-humanoids (including structures). Major skill issue on my part lol

[bleak flint]

im not doing the contest either. im just looking for ideas incase other people are struggling

here is an obscure location from one of the spinoff games i played as a kid

[devout hare]

shoulda saved my kangaskhan warehouse for this event

[bleak flint]

awwwww so cute!

[lusty pewter]

Hey wait, this time there isn't a rule about sfx. Does this mean you can have a bit more freedom in using sfx on this contest?

[cloud pulsar]

yea

[lusty pewter]

Oh cool

[cloud pulsar]

but who would do that, sfx are cringe!!

[lusty pewter]

~~I would cuz sfx looks cool ~~

[cloud pulsar]

sounded like a classic contest voter right there

[sick herald]

who's faster you or hero

[ancient palm]

i’m either gonna have so much fun drawing my entry or be in actual hell 😁

foliage my… deeply ambiguous relationship idk it’s not my beloved or my despised

[ashen sapphire]

me obviously
you can argue over who is better, certainly, I am not the BEST artist here, but I'm the fastest in my quality bracket for sure

[cyan gull]

I got around that

[steady pasture]

I doubt i can, unless there's a kind of humanoid home representation outside of Kangaskhan

[cyan gull]

Want an idea?

The pokemon doesn't have to be a place, it just has to represent it

Snorlax is a good body, but if you want something more abstract, why not do the Ride Machamp for SuMo? They have an agency

[random girder]

well its not going well

[cyan gull]

What is this supposed to be?

[cyan gull]

Necrozma?

Ah

Yeah, I originally was going to do the Ultra Megalopolis tower until I realized how hard it was to fit in

[acoustic saddle]

no sprite spotlight?

[random girder]

bro shiny ntm????

[acoustic saddle]

im orag

[random girder]

idk if im going in the right direction or the wrong one

[cedar quest]

We're still deciding

[acoustic saddle]

tortetta contest

[acoustic saddle]

ah oki

[cloud pulsar]

spotlight my other sprite

(i only made one)

[cedar quest]

I think we got it all down for what we wanna do, but just gotta format

[timid echo]

Ornge

[proven heart]

Bean Land Mentioned

[subtle moss]

I know this is what the contests are for, but is this the best sprite to have represent the server

[raven glade]

manifesting that we see some pokemon conquest representation (assuming spinoffs are valid) for the contest

[subtle moss]

I mean the current one

[cedar quest]

It won, and it's cool 😤

[ashen sapphire]

yes

[proven heart]

we should have like "themed contexts" like "Fairy Village" Have a group of pokemon you have to fuse with

[lofty skiff]

In a way
Deep down
Are we not all dog-based dumpster fires

🙏

[still steeple]

someone made that joke earlier and things sound like they've cooled off

it is indeed a goodass sprite

[subtle moss]

Well, fox

[lofty skiff]

🙏

[tranquil fable]

Ah I see, you weren't here during the strike

[sick herald]

crazy idea

#1197396047434088518

[lusty pewter]

wait, could we use extremely common location like pokecenters? or is that place too common to be valid?

[little cypress]

Those islands made EV training SO EASY

[bleak flint]

yeah i miss poke pelago

[little cypress]

I just loved Alola entirely

[bleak flint]

same!

[little cypress]

They had a town where it always rained to easily evolve Sliggoo

That botanical garden was awesome

[bleak flint]

also just the idea of Pelago was nice. because i feel bad boxing my pokemon

[little cypress]

The creepy warehouse with Mimikyu

[little cypress]

They seemed to have so much fun too

[bleak flint]

i knowwwwww

[little cypress]

||Although (please don’t hate me) was never a Bruxish fan sorry||

[bleak flint]

thats okie. its not for everyone

[little cypress]

The colors can be cool on fusions with it as the head though

[bleak flint]

ye

[little cypress]

I loved so many of the Pokémon that generation

[little cypress]

What other mons did you like from that Gen?

[bleak flint]

big fan of Decidueye. Ghost type, owl, and an archer? umm yes!

[little cypress]

Yeah, all the starters were pretty awesome. I just wish Primarina’s Hidden Ability boosted the damage of the sound moves it changed like the other -ate Abilities

[bleak flint]

anyway imma probably go to bed good talking to ya

[little cypress]

Gosh DANGIT I already did the Distortion world with Giratina/Roserade aaksksskksksksks

Ah well

Giratina/Roselia then

[sharp ice]

The Going Somewhere Contest really has me thinkin' about cool fusions with Pokémon that aren't even in IF rn.

[sick herald]

it got me thinking about what places/landmarks do i actually know

[sharp ice]

That too, honestly.

what places could i even do with rampardos

[broken robin]

[sick herald]

true

[broken robin]

Maybe theres a way to play with the coal thing?

[sick herald]

maybe

[worthy turtle]

So how did ninetales/garbodor win?

[broken robin]

I wonder if a minecart bastiodon would be a fun idea

[worthy turtle]

It's a literal dumpster fire

[sick herald]

ppl voted for it

[broken robin]

Its fun and creative

[worthy turtle]

So should I just stop trying to make elaborate sprites, and just make ones that make people laugh?

[broken robin]

If you really wanted to 'game' the contest you could look at past winners

In my observation its usually bigger sprites with a dynamic pose that win

[worthy turtle]

Yeah, that's what I noticed as well

But I always get out done by much more technically skilled people

Anyway, I'm trying to make something based on route 113 from Helen

Hoenn

[broken robin]

I mean. Well. Thats what practice and learning is for

[worthy turtle]

I'm not sure what to fuse though

I'm thinking magcargo would make sense, because of the ash

But I'm not sure what Pokemon to fuse it with

I kind of want to include the flutes you can make with the soot

Any suggestions?

[broken robin]

Meloetta?

[worthy turtle]

I suppose that could work

But I was also sort of thinking a grass type

That way I could actually show the ash covered grass

But I guess meloetta would make sense

[raven glade]

camerupt isn't in the game right?

[worthy turtle]

Problem is, I don't think that would really make people think of hoenn

[sick herald]

nope

[worthy turtle]

No

That's what I originally thought of

[raven glade]

dang cause it'd be good for that

[worthy turtle]

I know, right?

Also, for my other one I was thinking Pacifidlog

But I'm also not sure what to fuse

I feel like Lapras would make sense as the body

But I can't figure out what the head should be

[raven glade]

what location? what is Pacifidlog?

[worthy turtle]

Maybe Wailmer would also work for the body

[worthy turtle]

It's the town floating on the water in hoenn

[broken robin]

exeggutor? maybe

[worthy turtle]

Perhaps

[broken robin]

you could have like palm tree huts

[worthy turtle]

I guess that would make sense

Thank you

When I saw the title was going somewhere, I was just hoping to make a migrating Pidgeot fusion

Then I read the rest of the description

Anyway, thanks for all your help

[raven glade]

could Entei maybe work for the route 113? it's kinda volcanic

[quick tapir]

Hi

What you doing guys?

[broken robin]

Discussing the newest spriting contest

[quick tapir]

-_- ok

[worthy turtle]

I did consider that as well

But we've got a problem

None of the listed Pokemon are from hoenn

And I feel like people won't really get it unless at least one of them is a hoenn Pokemon

[broken robin]

Honestly..... when voting I dont think the actual location will be much of a factor. More like OOO cool sprite

Thats my hunch in any case

Since its a community vote

if this was a staff vote it would probably be a little more important

[sick herald]

there will be some ppl who take into account how accurate the sprite is location wise

but its called a meta for a reason

[broken robin]

ye

[opal canopy]

Dont midn me

No fusion bot checker

Bidterra

[slate otter]

I like it

[opal canopy]

Its a heavy wip

[acoustic saddle]

how heavy :-3

[lusty pewter]

so heavy that the number is higher than any number divided by 0

[worthy turtle]

i did it

#1203637235887505408

[red vigil]

ready for step 2 ?

[cloud pulsar]

is that a bra

[red vigil]

small arms

[sharp mountain]

boop

[opal canopy]

400 kilograms id say

[dense jackal]

On a roserade? Aren't the arms where the flowers go?

[red vigil]

wanna be original, the flower is attatch to the kyurem amrs

[dense jackal]

Oh neat. (I know nothing about kyurem so I didn't realise that was an option 🙂 )

[red vigil]

this is my first roserade and kyurem sprite XD

[sick herald]

hopefully u can clear it up so that those do look like kyurem's spikes and not arms, but this is a wip so that'll probs be clearer in a final version (and less bra looking too lmao)

[dense jackal]

Yeah the black section is very... Battle bunny Riven... At the moment

[red vigil]

(pls mod, do not ban me )

[lusty pewter]

the more you say to not do smth the more people tend to do it

[red vigil]

gonna do a break

[crisp cargo]

what the hell happened here

[sick herald]

dw about it

[crisp cargo]

[sick herald]

wise words

[opal canopy]

That announcement shouldnt be there

It only creates more drama

[acoustic saddle]

my name was mentioned

[molten crater]

it took me like, 2 hours of thinking and googling before I had a decent idea for this contest that was not an existing fusion

one idea that crossed my mind was a mimikyu/lapras or a mimikyu/wailmer that looks like the surf sprite (with a cardboard player on top), but both those fusions have been done before and I don't wanna make an alt, so I'll leave the idea here

[dense jackal]

If it's a valid main yours will be a main too. It's only an alt if it doesn't work as a main sprite

[steady pasture]

Read, it says "to not mention"

They dodged a bullet

[proven heart]

what's the current event thing

contest theme

[cedar quest]

We got 2 going on:

#event-announcements message

#event-announcements message

[proven heart]

ooh i like the first one

Poke Pelago could be cute

great excuse for cameos

maybe Lapras/Torterra

but also Altar of the Sunne/Moonne

Alola needs some love

[rotund gate]

What if we did a year of the dragon event? I think that could be cool

[cloud solstice]

we already had the triple dragons contest last year

[rotund gate]

Oh I wasnt here lol. But a difference is that they could look more like Chinese dragons?

[cloud solstice]

so like only gyarados, milotic, dratini, dragonair and rayquaza?

[rotund gate]

Yeah I think that would work

[opal canopy]

Dont forget charizard foe the colors

[crude cedar]

wait what happened at 4:02

[cloud pulsar]

nothing
