[grim bane]

Fossil contest

[bold barn]

unbalanced in both ways, design and battle usage

[mild furnace]

Dracovish is OP

ugly, but OP

[bold barn]

tyrantrum is fuckin sick

[bright elk]

I hope you guys are putting your suggestions into the thing isaac pinned

[bold barn]

armaldo is cool but shit in its home generation lol

[mild furnace]

I prefer Tyrunt because it's simpler than Tyrantrum

[bold barn]

in ruby i was gonna use armaldo but it's learnset was so bad i settled for aggron

[mild furnace]

i didn't see that what did you say

[crude cedar]

Armaldo and cradily are so ugly

[mild furnace]

yup

totally agree

[crude cedar]

The 6 gen fossils are the best for me

[bold barn]

aurorus got scammed on its typing lol

[bright elk]

what about a non fusion contest, where people redesign normal sprites

[umbral rune]

cradily ugly

[mild furnace]

Yeah

[crude cedar]

I like design

Of aurorus

[bold barn]

i think cradily and armaldo look fine

i wouldn't expect a prehistoric creature to look very normal

[crude cedar]

Are fine but ugly

[mild furnace]

I mean

[shadow holly]

Idea

[mild furnace]

Cradily = Sea Anemone

Armaldo = Ugly Mutant Snail

[shadow holly]

Resize Mayhem = People Make fusions which arent resized properly

[mild furnace]

Half-Pixel Competition -- HELL

[lean obsidian]

lmao

[compact saddle]

that is my sprite quality

[crude cedar]

I don’t see the half pixels

[umbral rune]

Half-Pixel Competition -- HELL
@mild furnace we need more people aboard the half pixel competition, make this a thing

[bold barn]

half pixel comp would be funny

people would make sprites in 288x288 but 1x1 pixels so their fucking HUGE

[mild furnace]

resize it to 300x300 instead lol

[shadow holly]

Ben 10 Contest

[mild furnace]

Step One. Import Pokemon sprite

Step Two. Add Ben 10 Watch

Boom. Done

[lean obsidian]

[shadow holly]

We cant do the Half Pixel contest

[umbral rune]

Im workin on my half pixel sprites

[shadow holly]

Because I've Already won

[misty acorn]

[umbral rune]

that is cursed

[misty acorn]

pathetic

[crude cedar]

KILL HIM WITH FIREE

[lean obsidian]

[crude cedar]

True

[nova nebula]

hi roblox decal

[misty acorn]

this is my entry

[compact saddle]

how is this

[umbral rune]

lmao

[crude cedar]

Ammm this is so random

[bright elk]

Contest general has turned into a meme channel

[umbral rune]

wide gengar/poliwrath

yessir

[bright elk]

you will anger your messiah

[crude cedar]

That looks good

[umbral rune]

technically #off-topic could be used as a meme channel, but we should have a dedicated meme channel

[bright elk]

I thought thats what #other-pokemon-games was

[umbral rune]

#other-pokemon-games is just dead

[crude cedar]

All channels are meme

[mild furnace]

my entry:

[crude cedar]

I don’t see copypaste

On that piplugre

[nova nebula]

anti-half pixel squad retaliates with stupidly big sprite

[mild furnace]

it's super effective!

[quartz locust]

I have all of the non-artwork, contest-related or suggestions channels muted and I don't want to lose casual discussions with you guys. 😦

[mild furnace]

??

[bright elk]

you guys realize you can make your own discord server right.. and just invite people you want to talk to... to it...

[nova nebula]

but that's cringe, michigan

[compact saddle]

most channels here are unused but if you delete a single one the people will whine

[nova nebula]

and an unorganic source of conversations

[bright elk]

I have a server I post all my sprites to

[umbral rune]

there is no point to make a discord server just for talking, it would just be dead

[shadow holly]

Aipom Contest When

[bright elk]

never

[quartz locust]

Ooh, an Ambipom or Girafarig contest could be cool! 😄

[shadow holly]

Only Aipom

[nova nebula]

uh

[crude cedar]

Girafarig will be good

[shadow holly]

No Ambipom

[quartz locust]

Playing with the idea of multiple heads/hands? 🙂

[nova nebula]

didn't we already do both of those

[quartz locust]

Oh, I wasn't around if they happened. 😂

[nova nebula]

like, i know i have a murkrow/girafarig around here somewhere from the last one

[compact saddle]

my smeargle/ambipom would win lets be honest

[mild furnace]

Girafarig Contest: Copy/Flip/Paste face onto tail and make name palindrome

[crude cedar]

Girafarig contest?

[quartz locust]

I still really like this fusion of mine. 🙂

And I love the way Waderboots drew it. 😄

[compact saddle]

i miss wader

[crude cedar]

Idk who is waderboots 😩

[quartz locust]

Me too, such a wholesome and talented person. 😦

[mild furnace]

wait what happened to wader?

[ashen star]

anti-half pixel squad retaliates with stupidly big sprite
@nova nebula STUPIDLY BIG ???

[nova nebula]

pff

[crude cedar]

Is not that big

[quartz locust]

wait what happened to wader?
@mild furnace They've just not been around for a while, I hope to God that nothing's happened, maybe they're just taking a break. 🙂

[mild furnace]

yeah I hope so too

[nova nebula]

oh sorry, are we talking big sprites?

must have missed it.

[compact saddle]

big?

[nova nebula]

big.

[misty acorn]

big

[quartz locust]

I'm so shocked that never won. 😮

[misty acorn]

smol

[quartz locust]

I can't actually remember what did win that one. 😅

[misty acorn]

believe it or not, but mammuth won that one xD

[compact saddle]

mammuth, of fucking course

[misty acorn]

with his darkrai zekrom

[bright elk]

yall are gonna get this chat taken away

[quartz locust]

Ah that's right, that was a cool sprite too. 😄

[misty acorn]

~~ he beat me in the first round, cant say it didnt hurt ~~

[compact saddle]

yall are gonna get this chat taken away
does it really matter

[quartz locust]

The entries in that contest were the highest standard I've seen so far, I think. 🙂

[misty acorn]

true

[quartz locust]

And this is kinda relevant to contests still, isn't it? 😄

[compact saddle]

lmao except to mine

lol

[bright elk]

yeah, this chat had the potential to be actually helpful

[umbral rune]

it is helpful

[misty acorn]

does anyone have a question right now?

[compact saddle]

when will this chat be deleted

[umbral rune]

when isaac gets back on

[nova nebula]

that was the god contest, right? [blaquaza pls give me heart]

[misty acorn]

we can move to #other-pokemon-games because we all love those games

[umbral rune]

sword and shield is dead

[nova nebula]

swear and shill

[umbral rune]

lets revive it

[nova nebula]

new spriter gen-

[crude cedar]

Eevee contest

[quartz locust]

I'll be making 36 submissions for that one. 😂

[crude cedar]

(Blaquaza give me heart)

[quartz locust]

Fun fact, I made that Yamper sprite you used in the fusion (it did get edited to make it smaller, though). 😉

[crude cedar]

I can die in peace

I take the yamper sprite from showdown

[ashen star]

cool

[quartz locust]

These are all the ones I had a hand in (with only Rolycoly, Hatenna and Milcery going mostly unedited). 😅

[mild furnace]

woah

[ashen star]

very cool

[mild furnace]

Are you the guy who made this too?

Credit: KingOfThe-X-Roads

[quartz locust]

No, they're not mine. They were part of the same group though, we all worked together to make these sprites. 🙂

[mild furnace]

gotcha.

[bold barn]

that inteleon sprite is shit compared to blaquazas

[mild furnace]

ok

[quartz locust]

Mine got edited loads to be fair. 😅

[ashen star]

thats urs

who edited them?

[quartz locust]

leParagon, he's like THE guy when it comes to spriting for Smogon. The one I applied to. 😄

[fallow bough]

I have no idea how you got onto this topic, but it doesn't seem to be about contests. 👀

[quartz locust]

Sorry... 😦

[fallow bough]

It's alright. I had no idea you had part in those sprites.

[quartz locust]

I'm really proud of them, I loved that sprite project. 😄

Ooh, here's a relevant point; if new Pokémon are added, they should definitely be the first to get classic contests. 🙂

[bold barn]

we don't really have a spriter general to go to so i guess we just ended up using this channel for off topic purposes? idk

[fallow bough]

we don't really have a spriter general to go to so i guess we just ended up using this channel for off topic purposes? idk
@bold barn There is a literal #general channel though. 👀

Ooh, here's a relevant point; if new Pokémon are added, they should definitely be the first to get classic contests. 🙂
Yeah, I'll give any of those priority. It sounds like Frogman is considering it, anyway.

[bold barn]

not the same vibe as spriter general had imo

[fallow bough]

I don't really care. 👀

[quartz locust]

Yeah, I'll give any of those priority. It sounds like Frogman is considering it, anyway.
Yeah I just remembered that and didn't want any of them to end up like poor Gligar or Mantyke, forgotten in the sands of time. 😢

[fallow bough]

Next mention of spriter general in here gets a <@&616085163209654284>.

Yeah I just remembered that and didn't want any of them to end up like poor Gligar or Mantyke, forgotten in the sands of time. 😢
At least Mantyke got a couple of fusions as a by-product of people remembering it existed due to the Mantine competition.

[bold barn]

Isaac can i ask why the channel got deleted anyways

[crude cedar]

Poor mantyke

[quartz locust]

That's true, including my monstrous Moltres / Mantyke which is my worst sprite in this game. 😦

[nova nebula]

man tykeson

[crude cedar]

Pip you can’t

Ask

[bold barn]

then can i know why

[crude cedar]

If you do, the worst will happen

[fallow bough]

That's true, including my monstrous Moltres / Mantyke which is my worst sprite in this game. 😦
@quartz locust There's definitely worse ones. It's at least cute.

Like I don't think it's particularly bad at all.

[bold barn]

considering how shit mantyke is its a fine sprite

[crude cedar]

The worst sprites are mine

[quartz locust]

Yeah I suppose it's competent, but compared to the Moltres / Mantine... 😂

The worst sprites are mine
@crude cedar No they're not, don't sell yourself short! 🙂

[bold barn]

sprite is sprite

[umbral rune]

@crude cedar definitely not true

[fallow bough]

You're all doing it again smh

[crude cedar]

I also do sprites every 3 months because I have no ideas

Let’s do a recolor contest

[misty acorn]

[quartz locust]

The more I think about it, the more I really think a Smeargle contest could lead to some outstanding creativity. 😄

[misty acorn]

wasnt there one already?

[nova nebula]

oh, i love these ones! here's my arcanine/ninetales fusion

[crude cedar]

#sprite-gallery message

I win

[quartz locust]

wasnt there one already?
@misty acorn I hope not, I've not seen it. 😢

[misty acorn]

no, it was the spiritomb one I thought of

[fallow bough]

No, there's never been a Smeargle Competition.

[shadow holly]

so did isaac ever respond to Pass the Parcel?

[misty acorn]

my bad

[shadow holly]

What do you think of it Mr Messiah

[mild furnace]

Well it's not really a competition at that point, unless we have teams or smth

[nova nebula]

contest to see whose part hurt most

[shadow holly]

Maybe that

[mild furnace]

ye

[fallow bough]

That'd be a contest for BTA, since he was going to do ones that were "different".

[shadow holly]

I'd just thought it would be a cool idea

[mild furnace]

BTA?

Wus dat?

[shadow holly]

Bug Time

[misty acorn]

BigTimeRush

[shadow holly]

God Dammit

Big Time

[umbral rune]

uh uh ohohohoho

[nova nebula]

bug time rush

[shadow holly]

Ruh Roh

[mild furnace]

Big Time Aush?

[nova nebula]

big time asshat?

[mild furnace]

what's the A for?

[fallow bough]

Ang.

As in, the only person with an orange name in the server who sits 24/7 between mods and spriters. 👀

I think it says a lot for his level of activity that nobody knows who he is

[mild furnace]

oh ok

if you ping him, will he respond within a month?

[fallow bough]

He sometimes responds when pinged.

[shadow holly]

I called BigTime BugTime once

And then he got Sad

:(

[fallow bough]

I should just make someone else a contest manager to replace him

I mean what

[mild furnace]

Maybe

they fixed it

😦

[fallow bough]

Fixed what?

[compact saddle]

[quartz locust]

That past link's definitely gonna be helpful. Now I won't feel like a dingus by suggesting things you did months ago. 😅

[nova nebula]

is isaac a dog now

[fallow bough]

That past link's definitely gonna be helpful. Now I won't feel like a dingus by suggesting things you did months ago. 😅
I didn't do all of them. Bizmythe ran competitions up until Spiritomb, which was my first.

[quartz locust]

I see Swampert had a contest, but Blaziken and Sceptile are yet to. 👀

[misty acorn]

you just want to submit your digimon, dont ya? 😏

[fallow bough]

I don't think Sceptile should get one any time soon. I'm a bit done with lizards for now.

[quartz locust]

Genuinely didn't even cross my mind, I was thinking of Sceptile / Dodrio. 😅

[nova nebula]

dodrio comp :VVV

[misty acorn]

No Lizard August anyone?

[shadow holly]

I don't think Sceptile should get one any time soon. I'm a bit done with lizards for now.
How many times must I tell you

[nova nebula]

laugust

[mild furnace]

Sceptile

[nova nebula]

(lizrd aaugust)

[shadow holly]

Sceptile is not a Reptile

[nova nebula]

it's a geck?

[mild furnace]

SURE.

[nova nebula]

so a reptile?

[misty acorn]

it has reptile in its name

[compact saddle]

just sent my request to the contest docs

[shadow holly]

Sceptile is a combination of Scepter and Floor Tile

[fallow bough]

it'S a fLoOr tIlE

It's weird seeing there were so many contest before I joined, I think the Empoleon was going on when I first came here. 😮

that was the first one I participated in. Then I took a long break because I realized I had no chance of winning xD

[mild furnace]

Reptilian was the first one I participated in

[compact saddle]

kek

[fallow bough]

that was the first one I participated in. Then I took a long break because I realized I had no chance of winning xD
A lot's clearly changed since then. You've got a very good chance of winning them now.

[shadow holly]

I was here before Contestx were a Thing

[nova nebula]

ah yes, brown empoleon

[shadow holly]

You could say I'm a Boomer

[compact saddle]

brown empoleon moment

[nova nebula]

bwown empoweon uwu

[misty acorn]

A lot's clearly changed since then. You've got a very good chance of winning them now.
if you cant win a contest, just change all the rules around until you have a chance, am I right boys?

[nova nebula]

;)

[mild furnace]

😉

[fallow bough]

tfw I only properly joined the server during the Milotic competition and was running the competitions only two later

[umbral rune]

I have a great idea

[shadow holly]

Theoretically, Isaac could just rig the contest to make him win

[nova nebula]

tfw

[misty acorn]

Isaac god powers activated

[quartz locust]

I thought that was a wholesome comment about your skills getting better Tomate, boy am I a fool. 😂

[nova nebula]

isaac too hot, instant comp runner

[fallow bough]

Theoretically, Isaac could just rig the contest to make him win
How? 👀

[nova nebula]

by saying he wins?

obv

wait shit you're isaac

[mild furnace]

replace all other entries with bidoof

boom

[fallow bough]

"Yeah no other entries fit the theme so..."

[misty acorn]

nobody will notice

[compact saddle]

just get all my sprites between his

then tomate wins

[umbral rune]

no mammuth competition

[shadow holly]

You can change your Vote's weight

[fallow bough]

just get all my sprites between his
<@&737376430702329965> literally the only person with this role.

[compact saddle]

kek

[mild furnace]

no mammuth competition
but then everyone has a chance of winning

[misty acorn]

I thought that was a wholesome comment about your skills getting better Tomate, boy am I a fool. 😂
Not sure what comment you mean, because every single one seems to have an ironic undertone right now and now I'm confused xD

[shadow holly]

Mammoth Contest When

[fallow bough]

Mamoswine's on the list.

[compact saddle]

im sorry if my self confidence and self esteem are as low as my eye bags

[quartz locust]

Not sure what comment you mean, because every single one seems to have an ironic undertone right now and now I'm confused xD
@misty acorn It's my inability to understand irony because I'm a fool, even though I'm British and it's meant to be our thing. I just need to hear it. 😅

[mild furnace]

very funny, Isaac.

[misty acorn]

im sorry if my self confidence and self esteem are as low as my eye bags
you sure did cry around a lot the day before you got 2nd place xD

[compact saddle]

mhm

i actually did cry lol

Can we have a Golf Contest

[nova nebula]

                         🏌️

[compact saddle]

idk why to me this isnt sad but its disappointed, idk what it could resemble

[shadow holly]

Where your aim is to get as little votes as Possible

[fallow bough]

You may not have a golf contest.

[shadow holly]

[bold barn]

has empoleon contest happened yet

[compact saddle]

yes

[nova nebula]

PAR!

[bold barn]

can we do it again because empoleon needs better sprites lol

[compact saddle]

no

[fallow bough]

I have no intention of ever running any Classic Competition twice.

[nova nebula]

gotta do every pokemon at least once before we can loop back

[misty acorn]

we can start repeating pokemon after we have gone through every single one

so in 15 years

[patent lance]

we can secretly repeat a pokemon by setting the theme to "manta ray" fusion

so we have mantine again

[nova nebula]

[fallow bough]

I'd do the same thing with something like that as with the Egyptian theme.

When Egyptian Theme rolls around, Yamask and Cofagrigus are banned. 👀

[misty acorn]

Because we all want to do more mantine fusions

[compact saddle]

When Egyptian Theme rolls around, Yamask and Cofagrigus are banned. 👀
too bad ill be banned

[fallow bough]

I want you to do more Mantine fusions

[quartz locust]

Beta Regigigas only contest. 😂

[compact saddle]

yep

[bold barn]

yes

[nova nebula]

yeah

[shadow holly]

Can we have a House Hold Appliances themed Contest Isaac?

One where we make a bunch of Fridges?

[fallow bough]

I was here for Regigigas for a second.

[nova nebula]

rotom contest is boring, trubbish

[bold barn]

hey why not a beta sprite contest for fusions themed around beta sprites

[compact saddle]

can we all suggest Beta Regigigas as themed contest and Regigigas as classic

like at the same time

[nova nebula]

no lol

[fallow bough]

Beta Regigigas is not a theme.

[misty acorn]

hey why not a beta sprite contest for fusions themed around beta sprites
I think Blaquaza has done most beta sprites already : D

[compact saddle]

a theme is relative

[patent lance]

When Egyptian Theme rolls around, Yamask and Cofagrigus are banned. 👀
@fallow bough

[nova nebula]

theme: beta Continent Pokemon

[quartz locust]

I think Blaquaza has done most beta sprites already : D
@misty acorn Is that a challenge? 😂

[shadow holly]

Pair Contest

You make Pokemon in Pairs

[compact saddle]

blaquaza just wants contests that he doesnt need to make sprites for
change my mind

[umbral rune]

beta sprite theme

[misty acorn]

nah, I'm not touching those, they are all yours xD

i agree

wise words

[nova nebula]

😳

[quartz locust]

I do actually think a beta contest could be really cool now that I'm looking at all the old beta sprites I saved when they were circulated ages ago. 🙂

[crude cedar]

HUH

whats this channeL ?

[nova nebula]

ebin channel

[normal dock]

Read the description xD

[ashen star]

I was thinking a retro contest

[quartz locust]

How so? 🙂

[misty acorn]

like using gen 2 sprites? I think BitTimeRush already has that idea written down

[fallow bough]

Implying he'll ever do anything.

[quartz locust]

Using them as in making an 8-bit sprite or enhancing them to DS standards? 😅

I remember some old Grimer sprites were retro but remade. 🙂

[misty acorn]

~~just ask someone else to do them then 👀 ~~

yeah, I saw them on the chart too. Kinda weird to have them thrown in there though : D

[quartz locust]

That's what I thought, having some random 8-bit sprites (even if they're fantastic) is a bit jarring. 😅

[misty acorn]

yeah, that would be more of a contest for the sake of it instead of for making sprites for the game I guess

would be fine by me though

[ashen star]

@fallow bough I wil do something

By retro I mean

[fallow bough]

~~just ask someone else to do them then 👀 ~~
Tempted

[crude cedar]

Donphan contest next pls B)

[fallow bough]

I wasn't saying you wouldn't do anything, I was talking about BTA.

Donphan contest next pls B)
It's on the list. 👀

[ashen star]

maybe amphibian contest?

[crude cedar]

Maybe eevee contest

[fallow bough]

Can't wait to get turtles in the amphibian contest.

[nova nebula]

they live in water... and on land

immense

[quartz locust]

It's the circle of life. 😅

[crude cedar]

I’m gonna do with quagsire

[misty acorn]

I will confuse you with 3 mew sprites that barely fit the theme

[ashen star]

i think a circle of life contest would be really interesting

[nova nebula]

minus comedy though, how do none of you know what a turtle is

[ashen star]

or an Aztec Mythology contest?

[crude cedar]

Slaking contest B) after i saw the slaking fusions in the custom battlers there are HIGH potentials and allready some rad sprites huehue

[nova nebula]

olike, should i call your schools?

[fallow bough]

Maybe eevee contest
We had an Eeveelution themed contest not long ago that basically devolved into an Eevee contest, from my recollection.

[misty acorn]

Alchemy

[ashen star]

that sounds cool

[nova nebula]

eeveelution contest but we ban eevee this time

[quartz locust]

I shall submit 32 entries, in that case. 😉

[normal dock]

xD

[fallow bough]

If you submit more than three then the software deletes all of them. 🥳

[normal dock]

better pick your best three xD

[nova nebula]

🥳

[misty acorn]

I can upload 3 for you Blaquaza

but then I get the win

[crude cedar]

Imagine a sprite contest made from scratch

[nova nebula]

99 bolltes of reused sprites on the wall

one falls down

98 bottles of reused sprites on the wall

[misty acorn]

it gets replaced by the same sprite

99 bolltes of reused sprites on the wall

[bright elk]

Luisito if a contest is limited to just scratch sprites. A lot less people will enter.

[umbral rune]

true

[misty acorn]

yeah, setting a theme is good, but saying how you have to work not

[quartz locust]

Most people scratch their entries to some degree as is, but it is daunting and really scary. 😦

[nova nebula]

"make only yellow pokemon with four limbs"

wait, no, that's pikachu contest

nevermind

[crude cedar]

Raikou

[ashen star]

And elekid

Electabuzz

Electivire

[crude cedar]

mammuth makes 2 sprites from 0 before contests

(If I think it was not the best example)

[ashen star]

He has two sprites from previous contests

[crude cedar]

On the mantine contest he have mantine/metagross and mantine/charizard

[ashen star]

He made mantine/charizard for the contest

[bright elk]

thats fine if he does that luisito. but youre basically excluding anyone who doesnt know how to scratch, or doesnt feel comfortable with it from the contest

[crude cedar]

I seriously did that if I did I apologize right now

[bright elk]

what no, its just what an all scratch contest would be like

you didnt do anything

[compact saddle]

Can't wait to get turtles in the amphibian contest.
two of my entries to the current contest are turtles

[fallow bough]

That's... Fine?

[compact saddle]

you too

[bold barn]

turtle contest y/y

[past osprey]

does the winner still get to pick a theme for the next contest?

[fallow bough]

They'll still get to add one to the list, yeah.

[past osprey]

ah cool

when you say they you mean mammuth

[fallow bough]

I'm not accepting everything that's put on the google forms page, but if something comes up a lot and with good justification, I'll add it.

I was actually considering letting the top three decide on one together, or perhaps letting two of them decide a theme and one of them picking one from the list to remove, or something interesting.

[bright elk]

were suppose to justify stuff? I've just been spamming my bad ideas whoops

[fallow bough]

👀

I'm just less likely to pick it without an explanation of why it would be cool.

[bright elk]

allow me to convince you 🔫

[ashen star]

Voting starts tomorrow right

[fallow bough]

Yeah. There's just under 18 hours left.

[ashen star]

Is there 17 hours left

[fallow bough]

17 hours, 36 minutes, 50 seconds.

[nova nebula]

49...

48...

47...

46...

[ashen star]

46..

[nova nebula]

etc.

[ashen star]

So tommorow at 12:00 pm central

Or

12:00

[fallow bough]

I get that it's 2PM CDT tomorrow.

There's a lot of central times.

[ashen star]

oh

wdt

[fallow bough]

[ashen star]

yep

thats about right

est maybe

are you in bst 👀?

[fallow bough]

[ashen star]

[fallow bough]

Yes, I'm in BST.

[ashen star]

bruh]

[crude cedar]

I get 17 hours for make a sprite

[ashen star]

lol

[grim bane]

Almost 14 more hour until votes. 👀

[ashen star]

yes

[thin gulch]

can i still submit?

[grim bane]

[will remain open...] until July 29th 8PM BST

[thorn robin]

Yes, I'm in BST.
OMG I'm on the same time zone as isaac

[silver merlin]

epic

[winged fiber]

Wait isn’t Germany same TimeZone as britain?

Yes I am nice. I don’t have to calculate around that much

[misty acorn]

nope, we are one hour ahead

[thin gulch]

+1

[silver merlin]

im also 1 hour ahead

[thin gulch]

nl?

[misty acorn]

thats mainland europe for you

[winged fiber]

But we do live in utc + 1 as germany and britain too

Oh wait. It’s bcs Summertime. Bullsh**

[misty acorn]

Not sure what utc means, but its called CET for central europe

[winged fiber]

Utc is for everyone. It’s the coordinated wt

[quartz locust]

I was actually considering letting the top three decide on one together, or perhaps letting two of them decide a theme and one of them picking one from the list to remove, or something interesting.
@fallow bough So like a counterpick in a Smash tournament? Definitely seems interesting. 😄

[winged fiber]

Could be interesting

[fallow bough]

Just not really sure which place should get to remove one, or if that's really a prize at all.

[stiff valley]

Wait there is a contest general now? :0

[fallow bough]

Just in case people need to ask questions about contests and such so they don't need to awkwardly ping me from other channels.

[winged fiber]

We only pinged from one channel I suppose but yeah. Contest General really is a good idea to have it all collected. But where to put mammuth memes nowv

?

[lime latch]

#general #off-topic

#server-meme-collection

[grim bane]

lol

I am really excited for the brackets.

[shadow holly]

()

[quartz locust]

I'm petrified. 😱

[winged fiber]

Me too

[silver merlin]

(i know im gonna lose so im actually not that hyped)

[quartz locust]

I think you stand a really solid chance, honestly. 🙂

[winged fiber]

I have lost before I entered so yeah

[grim bane]

I won before I joined

But srsly, I should do something...

[quartz locust]

You should! 😄

[grim bane]

but there are monster like mammuth

So I'll not join, and wait for other contests.

[quartz locust]

Mammuth's gonna be a part of every contest, he's inevitable. 😂

[grim bane]

I'll join a content once I'm done with more legendaries and cute stuff

😂

I've atleast a chance then, because the norm!

[shrewd field]

Mammuth's gonna be a part of every contest, he's inevitable. 😂
@quartz locust

[silver merlin]

lmao

[normal nebula]

Id like to see a tiny pokemon contest cause I feel like people would need to get really creative to win that

Almost every winning sprite is always something big

[silver merlin]

yeah,

agreed

[solar garden]

Yes

Smol

[silver merlin]

like its not the biggest sprite that wins. more like the best idea, wins.

[solar garden]

That was a option for a vote a while ago

[ashen star]

ACK

3 HOURS

[silver merlin]

yes?

[compact saddle]

my lugia aint big

[ashen star]

I NEED TO FINISHSHHAAHAH

[silver merlin]

jees

gl i guess

[ashen star]

Not good job

This is a CRISIS

[silver merlin]

okay..

i guess?

[compact saddle]

sure, kiddo

if you need to finish why are you complaining in chat instead of finishing

[nova nebula]

"teacher, i didn't finish the homework :("

"then do it"

"no"

[silver merlin]

u

[ashen star]

Idiots I am working on it

But I wanted to share my crisis for dramatic affect

[compact saddle]

isnt working

[ashen star]

But I forgot everyone here is to facetious ><

[grim bane]

You should work on your sprite instead of writing here.

[compact saddle]

youre the one looking like an idiot

[ashen star]

No u

[compact saddle]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ashen star]

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[silver merlin]

lmao

[acoustic hare]

It's not that serious. He can work on the sprite and complain a bit lol

[ashen star]

Yes

[silver merlin]

that is true : )

[crude cedar]

like its not the biggest sprite that wins. more like the best idea, wins.
My Sprite was FAR from the biggest and look what icon this server has atm B)

[grim bane]

It's a cutie. B)

[silver merlin]

correct.

[crude cedar]

❤️ no you

[lime latch]

contest is closed now right?

[nova nebula]

july 29th, 8pm isaac's time

[lime latch]

so it closed an hour ago. a yes would have been enough

[ashen star]

no

[quartz locust]

One hour left. 🙂

I too am a Brit, I know the timezone well. 😉

[lime latch]

i am always confused if i am an hour ahead or behind

[ashen star]

it closes in exactly an hour

I'm 8 behind

[quartz locust]

A lot of people seem to have left their entries to the last minute today. 😮

[ashen star]

i dont think so

most were from previous days 👀

[quartz locust]

Is Venusaur a lizard? I thought it was a toad-like monster. 😅

[ashen star]

its definietly a frog

[nova nebula]

to-day i [gave up and added feramega to the contest drive]

[quartz locust]

I think it stands a real good chance, honestly. It's a clean sprite that's not overdesigned. 🙂

[ashen star]

I think I should remove our fusion

[nova nebula]

i mean, a bug with a lizard face and lizard hands is still a lizard, right?

[ashen star]

yes

[nova nebula]

nah, you should stay in kj!

[ashen star]

I still have other fusion 👀

[nova nebula]

even if you don't even, it's nice to see new people in the contests

win*

[quartz locust]

Your fusion might be a bit too bird-like, but I think only amphibians are being discounted. 😄

[nova nebula]

bird: technically a reptile via evolution

[ashen star]

true

[nova nebula]

frog: absolutely NOT a reptile

[fallow bough]

Your fusion might be a bit too bird-like, but I think only amphibians are being discounted. 😄
No, all non-reptiles. 👀

[nova nebula]

simple

isaac it's a bird with lizard accoutrements

does it count?

[ashen star]

honestly

[fallow bough]

I dunno, I'm not looking at it right now.

[nova nebula]

kj

show

him

the

bird

i mean lizard

!

[ashen star]

ok

[nova nebula]

there we go

[ashen star]

I think we should rework the body/head

[quartz locust]

In the end it did turn out pretty nice! 🙂

[nova nebula]

i see you finally got outlines worked out :)

this seems complete to me

[lime latch]

Is Venusaur a lizard? I thought it was a toad-like monster. 😅
@quartz locust my fusion is basically a frogturtle

si it has a reptilian design

[nova nebula]

so what's the verdict, isaac-san?

[ashen star]

if its fused with a reptile it counts

[lime latch]

read the the rules KJ

[fallow bough]

That's some sort of bird-lizard hybrid, but it's not just a bird like the one the other day.

[crude cedar]

[nova nebula]

so it's a lizard then

[fallow bough]

Like it has lizard elements.

[nova nebula]

[quartz locust]

It'll be interesting to see where the cut-off point is. 😮

[fallow bough]

But like it's a bird

[nova nebula]

it has lizard elements

[crude cedar]

I'm not even participating in the contest

[nova nebula]

lizards have lizard elemts

thus....

[ashen star]

wait if the voting starts at 8pm bst

them doesnt that mean that you have to start putting everything in to brackets soon?

[fallow bough]

my fusion is basically a frogturtle
@lime latch I deemed your one to be reptilian enough, despite not having been made from an explicit reptile.

[nova nebula]

turtles are reptiles

thus

[fallow bough]

Entries close at 8PM BST, I take a few minutes to make the brackets.

[ashen star]

okay

[fallow bough]

turtles are reptiles
@nova nebula Right but I wouldn't have said it's all that turtle-y. 👀

[nova nebula]

's got turtle on him

[ashen star]

which is keks?

[nova nebula]

just like bird's got lizard on him

uh, the one labeled keks, probably?

[ashen star]

the names are a little cut off

[quartz locust]

The quality for this contest's fantastic too, I really don't know who I'm gonna be voting for. I do bloody love that Dugtrio fusion. 😄

And Mammuth's Archeops one is (as we'd all expect) phenomenal too. 🙂

[ashen star]

both of his are great

I feel like

mammuth should be limited to one sprite

[nova nebula]

but wait...

venusaur is a frog...

[ashen star]

cause we all know hes gonna win

[nova nebula]

and dugtrio is not a lizard...

[ashen star]

@fallow bough ^^ thats true

[fallow bough]

@nova nebula

[ashen star]

so a dog

is a lizard

[nova nebula]

what does this have to do with venusaur

venusaur is a frog

[fallow bough]

Nothing to do with Venusaur.

A lot to do with Yanmega.

[ashen star]

so basically

[quartz locust]

I mean Venusaur is kind of reptilian at least, with the 'saur'. 😅

[nova nebula]

it has a lizrd face

[ashen star]

no

its not

feraligatr is inspired by an alligator right

[nova nebula]

honestly feramega's not really my "true" entry

[fallow bough]

feraligatr is inspired by an alligator right
So?

[nova nebula]

it's just because i wanted to throw it in and see if it was legal

[ashen star]

alligator = reptile

[fallow bough]

This rule's been here from the start.

[ashen star]

reptile = reptilian

[nova nebula]

and all the dragons in here have six limbs

so...

[ashen star]

an eitehr way keks is not reptilian tho

[nova nebula]

keks definitely isnt a reptile doe

i agree with that at least

[ashen star]

feraligatr + bug is iffy

because its insectoid + reptilian

but diglett + frog =/=reptile

[nova nebula]

feramega is like 1/4 reptile

[fallow bough]

It's not "iffy" at all. It's pretty clearly stated in the rules. 👀

[nova nebula]

digfroge is 0/4

[ashen star]

maybe 1/2

where r rules

[nova nebula]

illimteramcy

[fallow bough]

In the same place they always are, in the same place I say they always are.

[ashen star]

thats not an answer though

[nova nebula]

no, you see

[ashen star]

i frog-ot

[fallow bough]

But it is.

[nova nebula]

it's in the channel #in-the-same-place-they-always-are

silly kj

[fallow bough]

Dragons are classed as reptiles, due to being a fictional creature and otherwise having no specific classification.

#event-announcements

[ashen star]

you say if its not correct size or quality it will not be included

[fallow bough]

Yes.

[ashen star]

qaulity

QUALITY*

[fallow bough]

Image quality.

[ashen star]

oh

[nova nebula]

quaility

like a bird

[ashen star]

quagility

our bird face look smol

smol face birb

@fallow bough so you can put anything non reptile in the contest

it doesnt say its against the rules 👀

[fallow bough]

What? That literally is the rule.

Now stop trying to annoy me for no reason.

[quartz locust]

Isaac is done with us all at this point. 😂

[fallow bough]

I am though

This competition has the most entries by far, damn.

Until I cull them

[nova nebula]

limzrd... good

so good... that people will make a sprite with no effort...

jsut to get in...

;)

[ashen star]

I’m sorry Isaac Chan ...

[fallow bough]

"chan"

[ashen star]

👉👈

[nova nebula]

be respectful, kj >:(

[ashen star]

I’m sorry

;(

[brazen pawn]

what are these so called "rules" (jk)

[grim bane]

3 minutes. 👀

[silver merlin]

👀

[quartz locust]

I'm going on a walk, why does it have to be so close to the polls opening? 😂

[pure oyster]

ask Isaac!

[grim bane]

1 minute

Isaac you're late.

(Take your time) ❤️

[fallow bough]

By my estimations I closed it on time. 👀

[grim bane]

But not open. 👀

[nova nebula]

👀

[fallow bough]

I never open the polls at 8pm.

Because I'd rather people had up until deadline to submit rather than me planning ahead.

[grim bane]

Take your time, ok? 👀

[ashen star]

OH HECK

OHDMAN

👀👀👀👀

[nova nebula]

👀

[fallow bough]

OK, I'm removed everything that I don't think could fit the definition of "Reptilian" by any stretch.

[bright elk]

How many were there?

[fallow bough]

I believe five over the course of the competition.

I just removed three there, and two previously.

[nova nebula]

where were you when feramega died
sorry for bad english
picked up phone
"feramega is kil"
"no"

[misty acorn]

😢

[fallow bough]

👀

[grim bane]

damn

too deatiled.

[fallow bough]

310x310. Just way too big, I suppose.

[misty acorn]

mammuth has become such a god that modern technology cant handle his sprites anymore

[nova nebula]

999x999 sprite

by mammuth89.png by mammuth89

[wheat socket]

wtf' lol

[nova nebula]

your sprites too FAT

[patent lance]

lmao

[fallow bough]

It's just that I set the software to a limitation of 300x300, so it can be slightly bigger, but not by too much.

[nova nebula]

;)

[wheat socket]

I know but a while ago I tried to insert the sprite into the game, and it was not invasive, it looked good

so i have to remove my sprite? 😦

[fallow bough]

Your other two are still there. Just that one was too big.

[wheat socket]

I understand that, so will I delete it from the drive?

[ashen star]

It is invasive for me

[grim bane]

Copy it and put on 288x288 hopefully it'll look good now.

[fallow bough]

It's up to you if you leave it there or not.

[wheat socket]

in the end this sprite will not be used in the IF game, it is only for the contest,

[fallow bough]

I have no issue with it remaining in the drive.

[wheat socket]

will be used in the future IF2 if all goes well

[fallow bough]

The only reason I removed the others is because the software directly pulls sprites from the drive.

[bold barn]

speaking of if2 has the game even started development yet

[ashen star]

Yes

Development has started

[wheat socket]

however I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my large lizard XD

[ashen star]

Wait did your sprites get removed

[zenith matrix]

just set the limit to 310x310 👀 i know that works

[ashen star]

No

That’s too big

[wheat socket]

The only reason I removed the others is because the software directly pulls sprites from the drive.
@fallow bough I did not understand, which sprites are you talking about?

[misty acorn]

about sprites from other people I think

[lofty aurora]

l0rge lizard

[fallow bough]

just set the limit to 310x310 👀 i know that works
@zenith matrix Way too big. It's 300x300 for a reason.

[wheat socket]

ok so i will delete this ok

poor lizard 😢

removed from the drive

[lofty aurora]

F

I liked the krookodile one too

So sad day

[wheat socket]

me to.. next time i have to draw smaller

[past osprey]

Which Sprite

Can you post it?

Here

[wheat socket]

this

[past osprey]

That one is pretty good

[wheat socket]

thanks..

[grim bane]

Too detailed.

[nova nebula]

too detailed...

[wheat socket]

lol

[past osprey]

Thay applies to like 75% of Mammuth's work

The archeops fusion was immaculate though

[lofty aurora]

That one I didn't see

Tbh if anything this krook one is one of the most in-style you've done which is kinda why I really like it

[ashen star]

Is contest voting starting soon

[fallow bough]

If you all could behave it would have started sooner. 👀

[brazen pawn]

naughty boys

[misty acorn]

those are some huge brackets indeed

[naive summit]

wow a lot of entries this contest

[wheat socket]

-1.. 😦

[grim bane]

Votes done. 👀

[solar garden]

When dinosaurs aren't reptiles so I dong vote for them 😎

[versed marsh]

A good amount of dinosaurs were reptiles

[solar garden]

If they're reptiles they weren't dinosaurs

Just big reptiles

[versed marsh]

.... A decent portion of dinosaurs during that era were, in fact, reptiles

[nova nebula]

dinosaur definition: a really big reptile

[misty acorn]

they can be both lol

[grim bane]

I can't find Blaquaza's Meganium, I am blind? 😂

[nova nebula]

smearnium is kil
no

[solar garden]

Name one Dino that was a reptile

[versed marsh]

Not all reptiles are dinosaurs, and not all dinosaurs are reptiles, but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t cases where both crossed over

[nova nebula]

jk jk

[grim bane]

I really want to know which sprites got removed.

[nova nebula]

it's bracket 3

[versed marsh]

Dilophosaurus

[quartz locust]

It's B4 in bracket 3. ❤️

[versed marsh]

Itchyovenator

[nova nebula]

kazi my feramega i threw in at the last second was kil

and uhhh

[grim bane]

Oh, I see. Hard times, Blaquaza.

[versed marsh]

Megalosaurus

[nova nebula]

mammuth fat [tm] fucking [tm] lizard [tm]

the krookodile tyrantrum lizard

[wheat socket]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-blackish-anthony-anderson-tears-upset-gif-4988274

[nova nebula]

not the fat [tm] fucking [tm] turtle [tm]

[quartz locust]

I think Mr Mime and Sceptile are gonna beat Meganium. 😢

[nova nebula]

the turt's just fine

[brazen pawn]

@fallow bough was my raquaza removed? i tried to go for a velociraptor look

[nova nebula]

retro what was the other half/

i will check

[brazen pawn]

pidgeot

[solar garden]

Dilophosaurus
Warm blooded

[brazen pawn]

maybe i was just blind

[versed marsh]

Yes. A warm blooded reptile. They existed during that time period.

[quartz locust]

I can't see it either, Retro. 😦

[nova nebula]

yeah retro, think it's kil

[brazen pawn]

rip

[quartz locust]

Which is a shame, I adored that sprite. 😢

[nova nebula]

warm blooded reptiles are a really small group now, but they are still a thing

just, uh, a rather tiny one

figuratively and literally

part of the issue with an active lifestyle

[brazen pawn]

well its still in debate if dinosaurs had some kind of feathers

some had really some

[versed marsh]

Yeah. A species doesn’t need to be cold blooded inherently to classify as a reptile.

[brazen pawn]

rip me

[solar garden]

Is the Noko a reptile?

[misty acorn]

retro is kill

no

[solar garden]

But there's a dunsparve

[versed marsh]

Tsuchinoko real??

Let’s see— it depends on whether it lays eggs or not 🤔

[brazen pawn]

they arent ^^ but yeah dunsparce is there

[lofty aurora]

Dunsparce is partially snake i think

[solar garden]

Well it's a spirit so idk

[fallow bough]

@fallow bough was my raquaza removed? i tried to go for a velociraptor look
@brazen pawn I deemed it as just too birdy. Like, I felt that if it would fit well in the Avian Competition, it probably didn't belong here. Apologies.

[versed marsh]

Darn. Current taxonomic classifications just aren’t fit for spirits.

[brazen pawn]

no its fine , it wasnt obvious enough then

[winged fiber]

I got a good bracket 2 times

[brazen pawn]

i was going for something like this

[crude cedar]

Time to vote for mammuth

[brazen pawn]

most of the time i vote mammuth but this time i liked some others more in the brackets

[lofty aurora]

Oof two of mine are against Spiritomb/Ray and Groudon/Blastoise

[wheat socket]

sjoba I feel honored, but it is better if the votes remain secret

[nova nebula]

voted for myself in the sceptile bracket lol

[naive summit]

I always wondered if people voted for themselves or not

[brazen pawn]

i never did, but i think most do

[misty acorn]

everyone does I think xD

[quartz locust]

Avian competition next as justice for Retro. ❤️

[fallow bough]

I guess it depends on how much confidence you have in your sprite and how much you want to win.

[naive summit]

I usually dont just bc there's usually a ton of nice entries better than mine lmao

[lofty aurora]

I just vote for what I like best

[nova nebula]

to be fair, my other choices were disappointing snake and jojo reference

so.

[lofty aurora]

Also props to whoever did the mr mime/treecko one, that's creative

[brazen pawn]

@quartz locust thats really nice of you but i was going for a dinosaur with feathers look so i am kinda sad but its fine

[grim bane]

Rip Retro July 29th, 2020. @brazen pawn

[misty acorn]

Also props to whoever did the mr mime/treecko one, that's creative
yeah, I love that one too. Respect to xoto

[wheat socket]

I am in mourning for my big lizard .. 😭

[brazen pawn]

yeah the mr. mime one is one of my favs

[crude cedar]

i know iwont even make it to second stage heh

[misty acorn]

definetly gonna be harder than last time

[quartz locust]

Which sprites did you do, Sjoba? 😮

[crude cedar]

Shedding sceptyle . lil snek and egg snek

[quartz locust]

Ah, that one was cool! 😄

I think you've got a decent chance. 🙂

[brazen pawn]

the shedding one . i like the idea but for the executions i would prefer something like shedinja more but thats just personal prefernce

[quartz locust]

There's so many good entries again here, it feels like everyone's growing together. 😃

[brazen pawn]

blaquaza you are just to wholesome for this world ^^

[crude cedar]

I just thought about the shedded skin being possessed and ghostly

[brazen pawn]

yeah i got the idea but it wasnt my cup of tea the the other 2 are really great tho

[normal dock]

I just thought about the shedded skin being possessed and ghostly
like shedninja but better lmao

[ashen star]

Gl everyone ❤️❤️
