Maybe once he had to take down the polls for maintenance. Other than that... no?

What exactly are the criteria for a sprite to fit here
For example would any snorlax sprite be accpeted under gluttony?

fallen adder
For example would any snorlax sprite be accpeted under gluttony?
By all means you can submit just a snorlax sprite. But without that certain something added that increases it's affinity to the theme, you most likely won't get as many votes
misty acorn
Well, I think it has to fit the theme a bit more than just "I fused a fat mon with something, so thats clearly gluttony"
Just think of some creative way to express the theme in the design itself, not just in the mons used I'd say

Only when it's specified. Otherwise the entered sprite must only have one name on it.
It's fine to get help, but whoever did the majority of the work will be the only one recognised should the sprite win.

someone do a rainbow mon for "pride"
I'd love to do something with Sableye for Greed since diamonds and gems, but not in the game and prefer doing mons actually in it lmao

Seriously, what does this mean? 👀
shrewd field
Seriously, what does this mean? 👀
let's say people tend to vote for the sprite in slot A1 but everybody can plainly see that it's less quality than B1.
Swap it around and have a re-vote, there's a possibility that A1 still gets more votes even though it's assigned to a different sprite.
Looking at my voting history, there's an odd proclivity for the A-sector:
2 - 6
3 - 1
4 - 2
5 - 4
First - 9
Second - 14
A - 11
B - 15
A1 - 33
A2 - 29
A3 - 23
A4 - 7
A5 - 3
B1 - 16
B2 - 14
B3 - 16
B4 - 2
C1 - 1
C2 - 5
C3 - 3```Note: some of these are re-votes, some are cancelled. It doesn't message me when I un-vote something, so I can't track that. The point remains:
On grids, the A row somehow gets my vote more often than the B row.
Also, there's a lot more for "B" (not B#) than "A" (not A#) mostly because of the 'losers' poll.I think this sample size is way too small to see a trend like that
Also, you are basically saying: "What comes first gets more votes", and even if that were true, how would you fix it? And does it also apply to elections? :thisclown:

(there is a thing with psychology that stuff in the middle gets chosen the most often, like with team mystic in pokemon go, cuz like its the main thing getting attention when you start looking at somthing, you look at the middle first, so maybe something like that could also be of effect somewhat there, buuuuuuut yeah i think its all aight, i honestly vote B a lot ive noticed)

Let's hope for the famous Egyptian contest without Cofagrigus

because the votes are done counting and so people can see all the votes, not just the top 3

Oh, makes sense ig.

I don't have a colour that's any closer to that.

the channel closes while the votes are being counted... then reopens so people can see the total tallies

Here. Since this is as close to Discord grey as I can get with MSPaint colours, it's the only way to do the thing without just sending you a transparent image.

You didn’t even use the shiny colors, how rude
leaden cradle
That's funny, I thought the channel was taken because there's no more contests, turns out there are no more contests, but the channel was taken down for a completely different reason.
fallow bough
There are more contests. 👀

What do you mean there are more contests?

Then why did Woop and Howls say they are?!

nobody said contests are cancelled lol
the ones that were running
are over
new contests will come
give time
be patient

Woop did.
And I thought you were confirming that.
My exact words were, "Are we not having contests anymore?"
naive summit
you misunderstood
wind topaz
Contests are still going to happen, the current ones just ended, now be quiet about it
naive summit
they meant yes, we are still having contests, the channel will be back when it's needed
leaden cradle
That's the opposite of what I was asking though.

My personal ranking was Banette/Lopunny, Ninjask/Bisharp, Metagross/Golurk, and then Chandelure/Weavile.
brave kettle
I dunno. mine was Chandelure/Weavile and then Ninjask/Bisharp
spark ginkgo
Lampent/Weavile was my favourite of the winning line. I wasn't super keen on the other three.
spark ginkgo
I had an issue with the faces of the other three. The flames look pretty good.

My list was pretty similar to chives except with lucario/golurk at my number 1

Pretty good!
calm quail
i dont mind losing to the weavile one its pretty cool
i wish there was a bit more difference between stage 2 and 3
brave kettle
The question is then, how does one make a crested lamp?
naive summit
Honestly both of them are sick but I respect the hell out of taking two less popular mons and creating something so clean out of them
also I think the shuppet/buneary line had a little more consistency throughout in terms of sprite quality
calm quail
it was really fun to do the concept art for those
brave kettle
The Banette/Lopunny line looks really good, but it's just not my type of mon
calm quail
the weavile line was done by one person tho and we teamed so mad respect to that

But before I post it, I'd like to tell a story. The story is about how all art is not created equally.

Honchkrow/Persian was a much better sprite but IMO my sprite represented greed better (unless that was pride, in which case it still didn't deliver the theme very well).
brave kettle
You had Meowth/Gengar?
brave kettle
Only two sprites were a mystery to me
mild furnace
Maybe I suffer from Pride.
mild furnace
This was the first contest in a long time I thought I would win.
The Kabuto/Flareon was a reference to Twitch Plays Pokemon, apparently (don't worry, nobody else got the reference either), and the Vigoroth/Golduck I have no idea really.
brave kettle
Okay, but what sin is Kabuto/Flareon
mild furnace

It was something about the player picking omanyte instead of kabuto and the person hating flareon
brave kettle
I voted for Tauros/Primeape
brave kettle
Wrath

mild furnace
I don't know, I was picturing something more powerful if it was Wrath.
burnt bane
Sad it didn't get it, that was a perfect representation
brave kettle
More powerful? Did you see the seething anger present in the eyes of that sprite?
burnt bane
I mean both mons have really wrath-like features
Primeape is really aggressive, Tauros/bulls are really aggressive as well
GG perfect
Also the sprite looks amazing as well lol
mild furnace
I guess I'm just salty

And that mon did look like uncontrolled anger

Maybe I would've gotten 4th or something

Ok man

and I was very happy with how the sprite came out, esp the pile of treasure. It was fun thinking of things to add into the pile
quartz locust
Wow I'm shocked that's your first one considering I really like a lot of your sprites, but Honchkrow / Persian was definitely a worthy winner. 🙂
naive summit
There were some great sprites in general I think! Milotic/Hitmonchan was unexpected, but worked very well- now that I think about it, Hitmonchan does have that slender body and essentially a skirt lmao, and loved the pose it was in. And the Kabuto/Flareon was super cute, even if it was a little obscure in reference.
slightly sad TPP has faded from memory so quickly
I'm shocked I won at all though honestly-- I think the closest I've come in the past was the cuteness competition with my Shaymin/Eevee haha.
quartz locust
That sprite melted my heart, though so many of them did in that contest. 😂
naive summit
cuteness competition 2.0 when? 
was a fun change of pace and had some utterly adorable sprites ugh
quartz locust
I had a plan for something semi-related to that but Isaac said no. 😦
naive summit
why does isaac hate cuteness >:(
I think there's something to be said when (iirc) that contest broke the record for most entries
quartz locust
Although a lot of people (definitely not me) reused some older sprites. 😂

It's possible that it could be another member of the line, but some of your sprites are definitely in already. 😄

In short ninjask bisharp is really limited but has some good tools to work with

After all, no one has lost this contest. There's just people who win more than others.
