We're not doing the staggered approach right now because of the sponsored contest also running.

silver merlin
thats too long >:(, we need contest now!! :0000

It appears I'm going to do a streak of only semi-finals placement
crude cedar
staggered?
silver merlin
lucky you 
crude cedar
yesh
sudden vector
Yes I'm staggered that I made it to semi-finals I thought I was not going to get any votes
crude cedar
WHAT IS STAGGERED MEANING
crude cedar
was that a "phew" noise
sudden vector
Staggered means to be astonish or deeply shocked
fallow bough
Staggered contests are when we open a new one during the voting phase of the previous one.
crude cedar
ok ill google trad that see ya later

@haughty laurel Congrats. not only are you the first and second place. alsoi think youre the "fastest" contest champion considering youre rather new
( @weary pagoda is that a way to reuse your mimikyu/gengar fusion)
sudden vector
Yes
crude cedar
ok
weary pagoda
@crude cedar It isn't. I was thinking about my fusion then I got a cool idea with Gengar

Can we do a sneasel or skarmory contest
I feel like most people me Dont even know they're in the game

Congrats scarecrow, sweeping first and second
haughty laurel
thanks its crazy
quartz locust
@haughty laurel Congrats on getting first and second, that might be a record! I had a really tough time picking between the two but went got Gyarados in the end, but that Rayquaza is amazing as well. 😄
I can't see the sprites in the Sponsored Contest section. 😦
misty acorn
You have to open the folders if that is what you mean
quartz locust
It is, thanks! 🙂

Ugh I kinda wanna join the sponsored contest
But seeing some of the sprites already there
It'd be a lost case

I was thinking about zoroark croagunk, but the poison dark type is already own by arbok darktai
Is that "legal" to take the same double type

crude cedar
Lmao
No I mean Ed is that okay for the requester
He probably just wanted his own team, and had lot of money
And he can't take two time the same double type
End in two days?
normal nebula
No rules against that. It'd be pretty restrictive if there were.
twilit ibex
2 days left but originally had 2 weeks
past adder
Someone's def done another steel/bug after I submitted one, so yeah, don't worry
naive summit
zoroark/croagunk would be dark/fighting anyways p sure
since croagunk's secondary typing is fighting, not poison
crude cedar
2 days left but originally had 2 weeks
@twilit ibex i only knew about it yesterday
im sad
crude cedar
i have a question
to have the contest champion role, do you have to actually be first or just to be on the podium
burnt bane
First
crude cedar
this probably mean that i cant get it
twilit ibex
Easy just win
crude cedar
can i release the icon?
normal nebula
you mean can you put it in the gallery? yeah, if the filename is correct
crude cedar
how to find icon name?
normal nebula
icon[#] but replace [#] with the pokedex number. Pokedex number can be determined via the formula head+body*420
normal nebula
also, everyone who used the old formula with 381 for your submissions should probably rename the ones in your folders to have the right numbers with 420.
lime latch
@fallen adder We dont need to update the icons i guess? would be unfair if someone forgets about it
fallen adder
What do you mean?
misty acorn
With the new mons being added the icon numbers of every fusion have changed
fallen adder
Some of the icons already submitted don't even have numbers. I only care that the non-icon fusions are correct, the icons shouldn't matter in terms of naming
So don't worry about it
fallow bough
For the most part it doesn't really matter how you name your contest submissions. So long as the fusion and you can be identified, that's what matters. But make sure anything posted to the gallery is right, obviously.
normal nebula
I only suggested changing them, never implied it was required
lime latch
no one said that
shrewd field
I had a number of good ideas. Sadly, I lacked the availability for putting effort toward it. Although I appreciate the extended period of time, I cannot participate. I later, though… I am not abandoning my ideas.

i wasnt able to redo the icon spritesheet, cuz i wasnt at my house (i did it the wrong way, i was horizontal and not vertical)
@fallen adder does the sprite wtill count?

If you are able to do it now then you can do it now. I'm figuring out a problem right now

how does the first/second thing work
probably self-explanatory but I just want to make sure
oh, nevermind, I see, it's voting for top or bottom, not voting for which one gets first or second place
man these brackets are gonna be tough

non-spriters cannot longer vote or it's only for this one?

only for this one
agile storm
I was gonna vote but the bot said me no-no 😢
normal nebula
also I recommend people open new tabs to look at them instead of looking at them in discord, cause the dark discord backgrounds can look bad on some of them
lime latch
What is the reason for this kind of bracket?
Just curious
@pastel fog @thorny saddle didnt both of you made an animated version?
Or just not for the contest?
thorny saddle
isaac messaged me and said it wasnt allowed
fallow bough
It's just not an alt if it contains the original sprite in it.
I am confused about why there's one and only one animated entry in the polls, but given BTA spent like five straight hours getting them to work, I'm pretty sure he's looked over that.
lime latch
I only Know about the other 2 i pinged
Also if changing colours is enough for an alt, adding lightning and movement should be fine too for an alt...
But thats just my opinion🙈
fallow bough
It's not the animation that isn't an alt. It's that the original is no longer an alt of the animation.
The original becomes just a frame of the animation and is thus not an alt.
lime latch
I can see your point.
fallen adder
The one animated one is milchicks
lime latch
So giratina deoxys doesnt has an alt in your opinion? I didnt check the frames, but it looks like one is the alt.
fallen adder
The full black shadow is the alt turned black. It's completely new
lime latch
Ok.
naive summit
there's definitely a frame of the 'alt' giratina/deoxys in the animated one
or maybe it simply looks like there is
hm
its a very cool animation regardless though
naive summit
ah

@lime latch I was about to make it but unfortunately I can't finish it in time

@fallen adder is it normal that ony spriter can vote?

I truly think that this contest has given us some of the best and highest quality sprites I've seen for contests
grim bane
@Idkwho but you've white pixels on the fins

I'm against the Deoxys and therefore very frightened. 😢
thorny saddle
@grim bane its not like that in the one i put in the gallery
But oof, best of luck, blaquaza
quartz locust
I like that one but it feels like too much Kyogre to me. 😅
thorny saddle
Eh yeeaah, zekrom is tricky to work with and i ran out of time to try and come up with anything else
quartz locust
Turbine tail would have been enough I reckon, the fins are done really well. 😄
thorny saddle
Thank you, and yeah, i basically had like 2 hours to try and change the alt yesterday. I havent been physically able to use my computer for most of the month, but its whatever at this point
quartz locust
For what it's worth you did a bloody good job regardless of the turbine tail. 🙂
quartz locust
I'm glad you think so! I won't even be too upset if I lose this one because the Giratina's great but I'm really proud of that sprite. 😄
burnt bane
I'm against the Deoxys and therefore very frightened. 😢
@quartz locust I mean yours is awesome as well
So deoxys got some tough competition as well
quartz locust
Aw thanks, that means a lot! 🙂
grim bane
@thorny saddle yeah I was suprised too, tho
normal nebula
@quartz locust I was frightened of yours lol
Also yeah, I specifically made sure none of the frames in the animation were the alt. Debated on whether to even have the fire in there at all, tbh, but figured it looked better with
I'm frightened of over half the sprites in the contest, really. There are way too many good ones

“Ah yes lemme make a contest where 85% of the server cannot participate/vote in”

It's all part of the program of transforming 100% of the server into our spriter slaves, so that we can actually complete making a sprite for every fusion
lime latch
I dont want to say vote for me, but...
“Ah yes lemme make a contest where 85% of the server cannot participate/vote in”

This way its harder for individuals to manipulate the voting system

exaggeration to get my point across
also you could use this situation as motivation to become a spriter yourself, its not that hard 😉

The stuff around the legs is different
misty acorn
Why?

Alt should have noticeable different
Until you pointed that out I didn’t even notice it

Depends on the person. Some people make a ton of alts with little differences, some only do a few but with huge differences.
Both ways are legit

That is just bruh and dumb

if you want an idea of what an "alt" is, just look at the average alt you see in the gallery
most of them are very small differences

It's far from a flaw, why? See the reasons listed above
north hawk
Ah yes great reason
thick atlas
why does it bother you anyway?
burnt bane
The only input for this is we need it more often, when people can get money for their sprites they make amazing sprites, which means we get more amazing sprites for the game
normal nebula
I'm worried about the potential salt though
burnt bane
I meant the reasonings in general renny, not mine

Basically the voting works this way:
There's a winner's bracket and a loser's bracket. The winners of both brackets go head-to-head to decide 1st and 2nd place.
The runner-ups from both brackets go head-to-head to decide 3rd place.
fallen adder
Nah. losers can end up with first second or third
quartz locust
I just realised I was against the only animated entry (or at least the only one that animated on my screen, I know some others are supposed to be animated). I'll take those 18 votes and run with them. 😂
I'd like the Nidoking / Zoroark a lot more if it was facing the other way. 😅
normal nebula
You’re still in the running as well
Also I dont think any others were supposed to be animated. The Kyogre Zekrom had one in the gallery but they didnt submit that version.

I thought Milchik's was supposed to be animated but I guess not. 😦

She didnt made it in time :(
past adder
I made mine with enough layers that I could animate it, at least as far as a bit of bobbing, but I didn't have the energy
besides mine's sort of drawn like it's spinning in a strike and it would be silly to have it hovering there like it's holding a really painful pose XD
solar garden
I gotta remember to use layers so I can animate easier
normal nebula
mine isnt really "animated" in the typical sense, anyway. It's basically just a transition between 4 different sprites. I would have just submitted them all as alts if that had been allowed. Will probably upload them to the gallery separately if the formes ever get added to the game

steam has a gift card feature so its not like they need to buy your games for you, they can just give a gift card in the amount

Thing about steam gift cards is that they are fixed (From what I briefly looked up)

How long are each poll open?

Well I actually traveled to the future to steal the synapse altering technology I need while imeadietly going to the past and using my intense detective skills to track down the winner(which I know) and made a sprite for them while connecting myself to their synapses and blocking the signals that would send this to their memory and while they recovered I returned here with no damage to the timeline. Now having just returned to the present I gain the ability to boast about winning it.
normal nebula
Then you wouldn't get the money though.
solar garden
It wasn't for the money
misty acorn
How long are each poll open?
@craggy galleon 24 hours per round. There are a lot of rounds though. 7 or 8 in total I think
fallen adder
How long are each poll open?
@craggy galleon kinda depends. since votes close at 8 and then it takes time for the next one to come up. a bit less than 24
solar garden
If I wanted the money I would just use my tech to find out who's sponsoring it take out 100 dollars from their account and give them 100 dollars and 1 cents
craggy galleon
Oh ok, then i can go sleep with fear of loosing one
fallen adder
Is that a time loop? Did you just give them infinite money?
solar garden
No you did by asking that question
But I just give them infinite money in infinite timelines, individually they only gain a cent

infinite money creates infinite inflation. There for is the same as No money

Well, that's kinda weird luck, I'm against the same person again
@past adder what sprite did you made
And it's because both of you losed but not at the same timz
Also if you won against him, you probably will do it again
past adder
I'm the aegislash fusion.
past adder
ty. my first completely scratched pokemon sprite
I went completely crazy trying to position that shield like the cannon
past adder
Aegislash is weird. If I'd made it even closer it would have had a freaky black sclera too
crude cedar
The thing with him is that he have a tiny head and it's covered by gold
past adder
yeah I suppose it could have been smaller
crude cedar
Also it's not really an eye in the sense that there's just a hole and a purple piece of gold on it
past adder
yeah but I tried to make mine look like a living creature with a personality. I used Genesect's grin and tried to give it a gengar-like, ghost pokemon trickster vibe
past adder
XD fair enough
crude cedar
when the sponsored contest end
misty acorn
4 or 5 more days I think
crude cedar
ok

The results for the last round of voting, in case they haven't come through for anyone yet.

if i would only understand what im actually voting for atm, like where are we even in the polling process? 😅 (ofc i could look up the votes and decypher it myself who has lost and what not)
pastel fog
Ang said we're here
fallen adder
Yes. 
zenith matrix
huh neat, thx 😅
fallen adder
Pretty much count the colours
.5 just means we are at the red dot bit of the loser bracket

judging by this sheet, losers can still get 1st place
fallen adder
craggy galleon
Great, Next round i'm against Milchic's Milotic. so RIP
crude cedar
you got unlucky
craggy galleon
If i had to say i got too lucky so far
crude cedar
lmao scrapi fighted against a fucking double legendary electrik whale while his only power is to floss
and add thing on the belly
craggy galleon
worst case, if i understand the chart, i'll had a second chance against the winner of L8? I dont know, its really confusing
lime latch
If you are still in the Winnerbracket, your sprite will have another go in the loser bracket (if you get knocked out)
crude cedar
im in the loser bracket now that i lost against natu golurk right (dont telle me i losed forever)
quartz locust
This contest was not a fun one, I'm almost glad to be out. 😂
crude cedar
cuz we re all stressed
quartz locust
It was a super stressful one. 😦
crude cedar
we all want the money and that mean not leting get ppl it*
quartz locust
Money being on the line is not good for the psyche. 😅
crude cedar
be honest, did anyone voted out onother one only cuz he dont like the man
quartz locust
I don't even know if I want to vote as it gets higher up because I don't want to be responsuble for someone getting/not getting money. 😦
crude cedar
i did (scrapi cant see cuz hes ban lol)
quartz locust
I didn't, there's a sprite I really don't like but it had nothing to do with the person. 😅
Scrapi submitted to this contest? 😮
quartz locust
He specifically wasn't allowed to submit to this contest because of the ban, so I was very confused. 😂
past adder
Milotic moving through like a wrecking ball
normal nebula
oof, I got demolished that round. Congrats to Milchik for being guaranteed at least third though. Same with whoever did the Xatu Golurk
sudden vector
Good thing I didn't participate in that
Speaking of which do we know what will the next contest be or it's still a mystery.
fallow bough
It's still a mystery. 👀
crude cedar
and you deserved it
@lime latch in general or just now?
silver merlin
It's still a mystery. 👀
always will be, until it isnt.

I'm glad Keks has returned. 🙂

@misty acorn ty i know i am ugly
quartz locust
I now have to vote between the two sprites that crushed my hope. At least I have a clear favourite of the two. 😂
crude cedar
Ok time for me to lose B)
spark ginkgo
I can comment about a sprite that has been eliminated from the running, right?
thorny saddle
spark ginkgo
Why? I just want to say that a certain sprite deserved better than to be eliminated in this most recent round of voting.
fallen adder
🤔
crude cedar
Believe me. We won't ever have results at 21 o' clock.
@weary pagoda with that information, I can you live in
France
Algeria
Any country under I don't know em
pastel fog
I don't understand one thing in this sheet 
if we have g14 both here and here
what happens if g14 wins in the poll below?
will it be g14 vs g14 or what?
pastel fog
oh lmao Im so stupit
pastel fog
but then, if g14 loser wins, will it be g14 winner vs g14 loser again or we'll just skip it cuz we had this poll already?
weary pagoda
@crude cedar France. I'm sure o' clock isn't the right word at all

Je savais pas moi alors j'ai accouru sans réfléchir

quartz locust
I can comment about a sprite that has been eliminated from the running, right?
@spark ginkgo Of course you can! 🙂
crude cedar
if he ask its probably thzt he will say smth bad
normal nebula
but then, if g14 loser wins, will it be g14 winner vs g14 loser again or we’ll just skip it cuz we had this poll already?
I think we should just do it again like normal, cause you never know what could happen
quartz locust
I don't think it's necessary considering it's a one-time thing. 😄
crude cedar
oh its not gonna be redone
im sad
i was not expecting from someone to give 200$ every week but...
dusk schooner
I hope there isn't someone out there spending $200 a week on pokemon sprites
fallow bough
I mean it might not be one time. It seems a good idea for determining winners in an incredibly accurate way, it's just quite slow. But for any sort of big competitions it could be used. Would have been better for the big yearly one than what we did do.
zenith matrix
u mean that one which got rigged and was never properly decided iirc?
normal nebula
Wouldnt it be 175 technically
agile storm
I mean if they have the money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
crude cedar
I hope there isn't someone out there spending $200 a week on pokemon sprites
@dusk schooner i mean at least its not fortnite
Wouldnt it be 175 technically
@normal nebula wait mods are taking commission

Here are the results from the last round in case they haven't come through for anyone.
craggy galleon
I had no chance against the milotik
crude cedar
I got 8 votes...
burnt bane
banette huh
craggy galleon
so my next oponent is L12? Looks greem
fallen adder
I mean. Guaranteed at least 3rd at this point 👀
lime latch
G15 will win
fallen adder
All out carnage as my surprise sprite rolls in and gets to use an uno reverse card and insta-win 😤 
umbral rune
pretty easy votes imo
wind topaz
@fallen adder Isn’t Zekrom/Kyogre supposed to be animated?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/543958354377179176/765843476087570452/350.340_alt_preview.gif
fallen adder
There was no animated sprite in the submission folder.
thorny saddle
yea i wasnt allowed to submit it since the kyogre is the same as the original entry
but eh its fine
crude cedar
I think I got a banette sprite, il send it in #spriter-general 2morow
thorny saddle
theyre really tedious to make
craggy galleon
is there a template or something?
thorny saddle
not that im aware of, though i usually dont mess w/ animated stuff
lime latch
Aseprite is good for animating pixelart
wind topaz
I have an idea for Banette/Bisharp
normal nebula
Why didn't you submit it as your default, but keep the green alt?
lime latch
thorny saddle
i didnt think to do that tbh, i submitted the new alt just before the submission period ended, and id woken up like 2 hours before then
fallen adder
If the poll hasn't updated for anyone
fallen adder
🤨
craggy galleon
A shame, the deoxys is cool but i really liked the wale
pastel fog
will the next poll happen considering that I battled both xatu and dyoxis? 
craggy galleon
rematch!
fallen adder
I'm going to say probable. Just in case more people vote because of the stage
craggy galleon
Nothing to fear there. Dont believe people will chance their minds
Wait, is a blattle for the third place or to see who goes to second?

loser will be 3rd, winner will rematch me

from yesterday
fallen adder
you linked to the header
craggy galleon
Naming the poll 3rd place is a bit confussing
lime latch
oh now it is
fallen adder
Naming the poll 3rd place is a bit confussing
@craggy galleon But it's for 3rd place
pastel fog
anyway, it's this part
pastel fog
lime latch
@craggy galleon But it's for 3rd place :Surprised_Pikachu:
@fallen adder it sounds like the winner will be 3rd, but its the looser who will be 3rd
in the post you made
craggy galleon
that exactly
fallen adder
It's the poll that will determine 3rd place
lime latch
into the big leagues now with 3rd place being determined
craggy galleon
but the important part isnt the third but who goes to finals
fallen adder
It's just a naming convention. It fits much better than naming it L or G
lime latch
For me it sounds like "4 and 3" are fighting for 3rd
fallen adder
Then look at the bracket 👀
lime latch
Syntax!
fallen adder
It doesn't change anything because you are still voting for the better one
burnt bane
Huh these were some unexpected finals tbh
misty acorn
Huge congrats to TimeAxis 🥳
And good luck to both sprites in the finals
fallen adder
In case the vote results didn't show for anyone
lime latch
Both are really well made, so i dont know why you act surprised
crude cedar
i mean the natu isnt bad, but it just look like an (amazingly made) recolor
umbral rune
bruh what how does that look like a recolor
crude cedar
i think we judged it cuz of spriting cuz only spriters could vote, i think the results would be different if everyone could
bruh what how does that look like a recolor
@umbral rune i mean mostly

Your Giroxys was trully amazing. I trully need to learn to make animated sprites like that.

@crude cedar said the one with a zoroark recolor lmao
umbral rune
lmao
zenith matrix
only spriters being able to vote certainly made a difference i think, at least i expected Sjobas sprite to score higher, cause it ticks the usual boxes to win a contest
quartz locust
I'll be honest, I really didn't like that one's design, even though on a technical level it was as great as Sjoba's usually are. Its face and pose irked me. 😅
Everyone really brought their A-game though, there's been some phenomenal sprites. 😄
I think I know who's won the Banette contest already and that's really demotivating. 😦
silver merlin
can you tell?
quartz locust
No because that can swing what way people vote. 😛
silver merlin
:P
lime latch
I dont know who will wim, only that it wont be me.
If you look at the new banette sprites they are all high quality
Also we need to ban kirby, his sprites are too good and too frequent.
silver merlin
hi she
tall moss
@quartz locust you should still participate if you wanted to do that before, tho, your sprites are really nice, id love to see what you come up with
quartz locust
Thanks Kiwi, I really appreciate that! ❤️ I promise I wasn't fishing for compliments.

fishing or not, you deserve em, you do great work 😄

I'm pretty happy about the results, though I do wish I hadn't gone up against Kyogre
it had everything mine lacked, a striking color scheme, and slick execution.
made my Genesect look very haphazard and messy in comparison

So whatchu gonna spend your money on? 👀

18-32
craggy galleon
fair enough
quartz locust
If you guys could make out the prize money to my personal bank account that'd be cool. 😉
fallow bough
Maybe then Blaquaza would learn all the channels in the server he moderates. 👀
lime latch
you could also sponsor some glasses for some moderators 👀 🤓
quartz locust
I have designer glasses (they're the one designer thing I have, I promise that's not a flex), but I want more. 😂
naive summit
Solid top 3 tbh
I'm mildly surprised the Xatu/Golurk got second over the giratina/deoxys, but it was really well executed
fallow bough
you could also sponsor some glasses for some moderators 👀 🤓
@lime latch what makes you think I don't wear glasses?
lime latch
What makes you think i am referring to you
fallen adder
get rekt
unreal radish
you don't have glasses on your profile pic
normal nebula
If I'm being honest, now that it's over, there were some other sprites in that contest I would have much rather have lost to, like Blaquaza's or Sjoba's, so how things turned out was a little surprising to me. But I'm just glad to have won something either way.
quartz locust
I wish you lost to me too so I'd make money.
Just kidding, your sprite was fantastic, and the forms were great as well. 😄
normal nebula
thank you
charred crescent
imagine only winning for the prize money
crude cedar
Wish I could have entered but I can't do sprites at all at the moment!
quartz locust
Hope everything's alright with you Wacky! 🙂
crude cedar
Yeah, I currently don't have a device to do pixel art on. My laptop's fan has stopped working and heats up super quickly even when I'm not doing anything and I don't have the money to fix it. So, it's a pain as I have a lot of fusion ideas currently but just can't do them without my laptop deciding to run slowly due to heat.
quartz locust
That must be really frustrating! I hope you're able to get something soon, your sprites are always a joy to see. 😄
crude cedar
Like, even for the banette fusion contest, I wanted to participate as I have an old fusion which I thought would look great with a good touch up to it!
I hope so too but with no money coming in and having more important things to spend money on, it might be a while before I'm actually able to do any spriting.
But enough about that! Congrats to the winners of the sponsored contest!

I don't think I'll have time to make one either, but I'll try my best since I have a simple idea that's probably been done already

Just remove Banette's head and put dirt around it and submit it as a Diglett fusion

thank you for your infinite wisdom Isaac

It's ok. I bulked out this contest by submitting

@fallow bough HOW MUCH TIME LEFT !??!?!?!??!
fallen adder
Imagine not just looking at the original post. you have 4 hours 16 minutes
silver merlin
imagine knowing math
icy latch
Didn't even realize there was a Banette contest. Thought there was just an odd amount of Banette fusions lately. Well, too late now. There's no way I can make anything decent in the amount of time that's left.
misty acorn
I regret not making anything.
I don't have a concrete idea, but now I would have liked to have made some type of puppetmaster sprite
icy latch
You can always make one just for fun if you want.
misty acorn
Yeah, but contests are a really good motivation
fallow bough
Then make one in two hours for me, that's your motivation. 👀

I would have loved making one with Gengar but Blaquaza already planned to do it when it was announced and I would not want to take it from him

I'm made a mistake I submitted in a 96/96 format and I don't have the time to fix it ;,C
How does that take more than 1 minute? And even if you aren't at your PC right now, you can ask someone to do it for you
silver merlin
ill do it if you want
naive summit
for the record, the program used to make the contest sprite voting sheets supposedly automatically resizes submissions that are in 96x96
at least, that's what Tene said last time I asked
fallow bough
I mean, it did last time, but God knows if it still does.
The guy changes so many things about it with each new version.
silver merlin
Tene's program changes everytime you go into it, its a very cool feature he added 😎
fallow bough
Honestly you aren't far off, BTA had to do everything by hand for the sponsored competition because the program kept squishing the sprites. 👀
