event-general

[outer prism]

'Nick R.'

[normal nebula]

I do like the one that won, but ultimately I voted for the other one since it was first, so I gave it points for originality

[tall moss]

the spiritomb one was made even before mine

[fallow bough]

Well no, when discussion first began for an Egyptian themed contest, the reason I said I would exclude Cofagrigus is because it wasn't in the game, and I didn't want Frogman to smite me. Then Cofagrigus was added, but I obviously didn't want to exclude something that was newly added, yet I also felt like it might take away from creativity if it was just all Cofagrigus (like, I could just run a Cofagrigus classic in that case).
In any case, with how the new format works, that Egyptian contest might not be too far off yet.

[wind topaz]

Also I think we already had a Cofagrigus contest

[fallow bough]

We have the new rules, but the new contest will open tomorrow most likely.

[naive summit]

I suppose, but If eel like creativity should be part of the consideration when voting (even if other people don't). Like I'm much more likely to vote for a unique and well-sprited fusion over one of the dozens of cofagrigus entries, however well sprited they might be. But ik a lot of voters just go "oh thats cool I clicky" so eh

[wind topaz]

Never mind, it was a Lucario contest and I just was remembering the Cofagrigus/Lucario entry as Anubis

[naive summit]

I feel like a cofagrigus classic would be fun too lmao

and probs achieve similar results to an egyptian contest anyways, if cofagrigus wasn't banned from it

[wind topaz]

Dusclops can be used to make a mummy

[naive summit]

I could see umbreon, dusclops, and lucario featuring somewhat popularly in an egyptian contest yeah

maybe some other dark types

possibly krookodile

[wind topaz]

Some bird for Ra

[naive summit]

ho-oh maybe?

[wind topaz]

A bird/Machoke

Unown for hieroglyphics

[leaden cradle]

New rules?

[polar pewter]

Egyptian theme means cat fusions

I am very down for this

Though I'd be remiss not to do one based off of Ra since I was named after it

[wind topaz]

Your name is Aurange

[polar pewter]

My handle is based off of my actual name

remove the ge and that's my name

my mom named me in an interesting way I'll say that

[wind topaz]

Auran
Aura

https://tenor.com/view/supersmashbros-brawl-lucario-gif-4907981

[polar pewter]

Yeah lol that's part of the naming actually

The au is from the periodic element of gold, the ra is for Ra, she wanted to name me based off of the word aura and the n is just to make it sound masculine

So she told me that my name meant "golden sun god" or "the aura of the golden sun god" idk something ridiculous like that

It's kind of embarrassing

[fallow bough]

Ew Golden Sun.

[burnt bane]

dont hate on his name damn

toxic isaac

shitsaac 🔫

[fallow bough]

I'm not hating on his name, I'm hating on Golden Sun.

[burnt bane]

like a famous german who plays with friends on saturdays but never has time for dnd sessions would say: excuses excuses

[misty acorn]

I never said that

[burnt bane]

[weary pagoda]

I ask for this no-cofagrigus Egyptian contest since a pretty long time now

We need that

[quartz locust]

That's the one I voted for too, but to be honest any of those entries were worthy of winning, and congratulations to those who placed! It was a really solid contest with great entries from the get-go. 😄

[quartz locust]

But you were named after the protagonist from Golden Sun. 😢

[outer prism]

Ah

that's why he hates it

he probably got insane ammounts of references to it growing up

Isaac, cheer up

Least you weren't the subject in middle school to the fact kids figured out Nick, rhymes with Dick

[fallow bough]

Who the hell do you think references Golden Sun? 😂

Nah it's just a bad game is all.

[quartz locust]

For the longest time I only knew Golden Sun existed because of Smash. 😅

[fallow bough]

bUt tHeY sHouLd tOTaLlY aDd iSaAc aS a FIgHteR tO sMaSh gUys
hE's VErY reLevAnt

[brazen pawn]

Huh you are the first in know about who dislikes this game

[compact saddle]

i only dislike it now cause all the brainless kids talk about it

also i can play bootleg platform fighters so i dont need that

[fallow bough]

What do you think Golden Sun is? 👀

[compact saddle]

well, i thought retro was talking about smash

and i dont have a single clue, nor want to

[fallow bough]

It's just so boring. The characters have less depth than a slice of cheese, and the game doesn't utilise most of its mechanics at all. It has this whole class system that's oddly intricate, yet actually ever using it is sub-optimal since you'll just do more damage matching people to their own elements. Also psynergy just does set damage and never gets stronger, so physical characters are just better.
It's a bad game with a weird plot and boring characters that never uses the few mechanics it has in its favour.
I replay it every few years.

[brazen pawn]

do you mean the gba or ds game?

[fallow bough]

GBA duology.

I have yet to insert the DS game into a DS.
I own it, but I have never gathered the willpower.

[brazen pawn]

i only heard that the ds game isnt that great

[fallow bough]

From the best of my understanding it's the exact same as the GBA ones but worse.

[misty acorn]

That's me with my copy of Bravely Default

[fallow bough]

I liked Bravely Default. It's my favourite idle game.

I have yet to beat it. I'll definitely get around to that. Definitely.

[misty acorn]

I hate the art style

Especially the face that they use the same ugly models for the switch one

[fallow bough]

So weird to me that no other 3DS games followed the innovative design of containing in-game purchases.

[compact saddle]

tf is golden sun lmao

[fallow bough]

You hate all art styles though.

[misty acorn]

Wrong

Octopath Traveler is made by the same studio I believe and that game visually is like a 100 out of 10

The gba fire emblem games look amazing as well and they have aged perfectly

Pokemon games from gen 3 to 5 looks really damn nice too

[fallow bough]

The GBA fire emblem games are 👌. Sexiest use of sprites I've ever seen, and I'm not sure why.

[compact saddle]

has the convo shifted to game art styles now?

[fallow bough]

Blaquaza dislikes it because it's not in the Gen V style.

[compact saddle]

if yes, i gotta stick with my childhood game, yoshi's island

i just love the animation, vibrant colors, its great

[quartz locust]

I actually don't like how Octopath looks, the lighting effects are too strong and makes everything look washed out. 😦

If they toned them down I'd probably really like it. 🙂

[compact saddle]

yeah game company, get into blaq's taste immediatly

[misty acorn]

Imagine if they remade all the gba FE games in the Octopath style tho

Would also be amazing for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remakes

[quartz locust]

I honestly quite liked how RTDX looked. 🙂

[misty acorn]

I don't. mystery dungeon lost all its magic to me when they jumped to 3D

[fallow bough]

I think we're more likely to see a remake of Path of Radiance than the GBA ones, which is a shame because I'd kinda like remakes of the ones that were never released over here, like Thracia 776.

[quartz locust]

Oh for sure some of the magic is gone, but I liked how they doubled down on the watercolour look from the artwork and didn't just use the same textures on the same models we've had since XY. 🙂

Although to be honest I really like the aesthetic of the PS1 Spyro games so I don't think I'm the best person to talk to about this sort of thing. 😂

[misty acorn]

I played the demo, got Treeko and saw how the walking animation didnt add up to the walking speed at all

I laught for a bit and deleted it :evil:

[quartz locust]

What really sold me on RTDX though was the music. It's really faithful but also updated and it's fantastic. 😄

[misty acorn]

I hope they remake FE4, as many say it is the best one

Only played it for a bit, and it was good I guess, but I'd rather play a remake

[quartz locust]

Remaking a Fire Emblem game gives them an excuse to add a new character to Smash. 😉

[fallow bough]

Horse Emblem?
Personally I'd hope they'd remake 4 and 5 as one game, given that 5 takes places in the middle of 4.

[fallow bough]

No, they never add older characters.
Only 500 more characters from Awakening.
Lon'qu for Smash when?

[quartz locust]

I want Virion.

[fallow bough]

He doesn't use a sword though. It doesn't represent Fire Emblem well enough.

It's not like 90% of my army don't end up with swords whenever I play a fire emblem game. 👀

[quartz locust]

Do you play with permadeath on? 😮

[fallow bough]

Yes. Of course I do, that's the standard Fire Emblem experience. 👀

[quartz locust]

[fallow bough]

Casual mode turns it more into meatbag chess than anything. Just casually fling your units into danger because whatever, they might survive, who cares.

[quartz locust]

You're not wrong, but when it's that tough I struggle to find it fun. 😂

[fallow bough]

Yet you complain about Pokémon games getting easier when they were clearly catering to you. 😔

[compact saddle]

i feel like a degenerate for not having any knowledge about fire emblem except its anime sword people

[misty acorn]

I like the permadeath mechanic, but it also always ruins the story because 99% of all characters are irrelevant

Kinda glad Triangle Strategy doesnt do it. And you could still technically nuzlocke it with permadeath, which seems like a really good way of doing it to me

[quartz locust]

I mean there's a balance I think. Because permadeath is nuzlockes, which I don't find fun either. 😅

[fallow bough]

I reset after a death. 👀

[quartz locust]

Digimon has the best difficulty.

[fallow bough]

But I still leave it on classic mode because it's what the game difficulties are balanced around.

If you put it in casual mode you care way less about your decisions. Yeah Gregor won't die forever if I mess up, but it'll be half an hour of my life wasted so I may as well not take the risk.

[quartz locust]

In fact, Digimon has the 'type advantage' system of Fire Emblem (the bow, lance and sword one) and a more Pokémon-like one too. 😄

[misty acorn]

I like the idea of playing optimal without any deaths, but usually it just results in tedious resetting or using save states. Which is why I sometimes go "eh, whatever" and let that unit stay dead xD

[fallow bough]

RIP the weapon triangle. Gone but not forgotten.

seriously three houses what the hell why did you drop the two great things fates brought to the table

[quartz locust]

Me to the weapon triangle:

https://tenor.com/view/tarzan-youll-be-in-my-heart-monkey-cute-baby-gif-15579768

[misty acorn]

I hate how they handle magic in 3H

You just get to spam heal every turn because you have like 20 of them and there is no downside to spamming

Anothee thing Triangle Strategy has a good solution for by using those Octopath boost points as a resource

[brazen pawn]

ocotpath looks stunning i love it, but i love the clean look of the gba sprites for fe aswell

[misty acorn]

They are the best looking gba games by far

[brazen pawn]

(thats why in my fe hack the death changes certain diologes)

[misty acorn]

Still look amazing today

[brazen pawn]

agree

crit animations awww my god love em

[fallow bough]

Yeah but Heal isn't exactly very powerful. I'm not sure if it's because they nerfed the spell itself compared to Awakening and Fates or if it's just that units have way higher HP in Three Houses, though.
Magic is oddly balanced by the weight mechanic though? And the fact they gave most of the high magic characters lower speed? Like if what balances magic is the fact you have to nerf the actual units, maybe you should look at the system again. 👀

Personally I balance it by putting everyone into weird classes.

[brazen pawn]

i had a magic users run only everyone was a mage that was quite fun ЧВ

[misty acorn]

I'm currently playing the last route I haven't finished and I'm going for super weird classes. Love the fact that you can do that, but I feel like they sacrificed too much for it. Especially when it comes to ballance and map design

My Lysithia is gonna be a wyvern Rider, my Lindhart is a brawler and Petra is my healer lol

[brazen pawn]

yeah it was fun, but the next game should have better maps again

(tellius remake pls)

[fallow bough]

Lysithia makes an interesting swordmaster. She can either make good use of the Levin Sword, or you can use soulblade to make literally any sword good provided it's on the player turn.

[compact saddle]

really cool but is it contest talk

[fallow bough]

Blaquaza started it.

[brazen pawn]

its about the contest

:3

we have mods here its legal XD

[compact saddle]

not when the mods are carried onto the wrong actions

[compact saddle]

fair enough, blaq is the second worst 👀

[zenith matrix]

@fallow bough 👏 i like what i see

any changes to roles in conjunction?

[fallow bough]

~~You? Like something? 👀 ~~

[fallow bough]

[zenith matrix]

dont question it, just be happy

[zenith matrix]

in like, would contest champion be assigned to anyone winning a contest or will there be changes, like another role for winners of Part 1 contests etc

[fallow bough]

The current roles will remain for all contests. I think Frogman would put a bolt in my head if I added another role.

[zenith matrix]

for whatever reason...

how many judges for Part 3?

[fallow bough]

That'll probably change each time it comes up. For the first one though, we have three.

Also imagine not calling the parts by their names.

[ivory vector]

It sounds like the "Dining for Two" contests do not have to be done with a partner?

[fallow bough]

You can do them alone, yes.

[ivory vector]

Ok, cool.

[vestal niche]

Having the contests split into multiple types is a great idea.

[zenith matrix]

u just have to eat for two on ur own

[tall moss]

you and your fetus make a sprite together

do you not know what "eating for two" means 😂

[zenith matrix]

oh, u ment that, for some "unkown" reason i thought of smth way worse as it came from ya

[fallow bough]

It's when you eat for two.

[wind topaz]

It’s when [insert joke here]

[thorny saddle]

Huh the contest stuff seems interesting, im excited to see whats done with them

[outer prism]

Oh boy, more to blindly complain about? Yay!

[tall moss]

whens the bot gonna be finished bta

[silver merlin]

when the bot is finished

[burnt bane]

Oh God these new contest ideas are amazing

[fallow bough]

Which bits? 👀

[burnt bane]

The uh, 3 things

Interglacial, dining for 2 and judge&jury things

Judge and jury is really interesting to be fair

Kinda like the duels with the judging

[fallow bough]

Which name is your favourite?

[burnt bane]

why do the names matter

[tall moss]

i keep reading interglacial as intergalactical, that wouldve been such a better name

im curious to see how that one will manage to not be all kaiju sprites tho, like, even the shroomish comp ended up beig all big mons dressed up as mushrooms

[vestal niche]

I feel like Dinner for Two is a slight misnomer, as it implies a need to partner up.

[burnt bane]

Time to make a cute kaiju when we get the next cute competition

[brazen pawn]

XD

[tall moss]

enters sylveon/regigigas

[burnt bane]

Now how will you make that cute

[tall moss]

its super cute ok

Oh

Uh

Yeh that's uh

Uhhh

https://tenor.com/view/runningaway-gif-8922379

[brazen pawn]

max hight 1 meter

easy fix

[fallow bough]

You'll see soon.

[burnt bane]

Also damn @fallow bough how long will those judge and jury ones be?

Cause the dining for 2 is already a week, and judge and jury is even longer

[misty acorn]

New contest be like

📖 👀

[burnt bane]

Bookeyes

[zenith matrix]

cant await all the question regarding the what and how and general confusion because some peeps are too dumb to read

[burnt bane]

It has already started with dining for 2

[zenith matrix]

denying for two

[burnt bane]

and will allow people to team up

CAN WE MAKE A TEAM?
CAN WE STILL SPRITE ALONE THO?

[brazen pawn]

someone pls pinn that

[wicked onyx]

Wait its not intergalactical

[silver merlin]

CAN WE EVEN SPRITE?

[misty acorn]

https://tenor.com/view/good-laugh-cackles-sith-gif-8407592

[fallow bough]

Five months each.

[burnt bane]

That's too short

Shit contest idea

🔫

[brazen pawn]

XD

be nice stan :p

[fallow bough]

Honestly they'll probably be about a week also.

[burnt bane]

Towards Isaac?

[tall moss]

will the judge and jury contest judges rate and rank all the sprites or just pick a top 3? 🤔 will it be like duels, where each sprite get some positive and negative feedback?

[misty acorn]

Only negative feedback will be given. The scale will be from -1 to -10

[brazen pawn]

that would be perfect

[fallow bough]

All of the sprites. But they'll have a day or two to do it, it won't be expected within like, five minutes.

[tall moss]

[leaden cradle]

Oh that's interesting.

And I just remembered I never took that survey.

[wicked onyx]

I forgot to too

I think

[naive summit]

new contest structure looks fun

[quartz locust]

New Age contests seem interesting for sure. 😄

I'm just wondering what 'specific techniques' means for the last one. My guess is things like leaves, fur, rocks, metal, the sort of things that are trickier to pull off due to texture, but the Gen II one would assumedly fall into this bracket too. 😅

[compact saddle]

welcome to the new age

[tall moss]

gen 3 style

[quartz locust]

Okay so Kiwi's banned. 🙂

[compact saddle]

3d modelling, no sprites

[burnt bane]

Thatd be hype tbh

[quartz locust]

It'd be really interesting, but how many of us know how to 3D model? 😂

[tall moss]

sculptris is free and easy to use

also blender but blender is hard to learn

sculprits you just click around and shape your blob of 3dness

[thorny saddle]

3d abomination time

https://i2.wp.com/nintendosoup.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/pokemon5minutemodel.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1

[burnt bane]

Time to make typhlosion fusions and NOT give them the fire

[tall moss]

heck yes

[burnt bane]

That chikorita is amazing

[burnt bane]

Nice

[weary pagoda]

Just give me a minute
And I'll show you a 3d abomination you will never forget

[leaden cradle]

So for the panel for judge and jury contests, will that be winners of previous judge and jury contests, or any past contests?

[burnt bane]

You gonna send a selfie?

https://tenor.com/view/obama-micdrop-boom-gif-10988845

[fallow bough]

Any past contest. But it depends on what they're judging. We'll ask specific people as opposed to a random selection.

[leaden cradle]

Ah, okay.

And I'm assuming the three contests in a series will be done one at a time?

[weary pagoda]

no u

[compact saddle]

if it was random selection, i'd be glad to not be CW 👀

[weary pagoda]

I really look forward to enter into the two new types of contest

[fallow bough]

Yeah, they'll be done in the order of the series. 👀

[tall moss]

so theres a contest starting in a few hours right? is that a normal old contest or a interglacial one?

[weary pagoda]

I saw you Isaac, you removed Pogduck. How dare you

[compact saddle]

pogduck is not contest, i assume

skel'n bad

[weary pagoda]

How. Dare. You.

[burnt bane]

[fallow bough]

Can't be sure if there'll be a contest or not until BTA wakes up, since I'm not sure what the ETA is on his bot. But any new contests from here on out will be New Age ones.

[weary pagoda]

sed

[tall moss]

just sayin 👀

[compact saddle]

[weary pagoda]

Oh yes, a Latias contest

[fallow bough]

RIP Bibarel.

[weary pagoda]

Please, no Bibarel

[tall moss]

bibarel is the best choice out all of these tho

[weary pagoda]

Bidoof is superior

[tall moss]

my best sprite

[weary pagoda]

Bibarel / Bidoof

[burnt bane]

Bibarel contest would be really neat tbh

[acoustic hare]

this contest thing is kinda hype

[silver merlin]

Isaac posted in #contest-gallery ? this is truly a special day.

[burnt bane]

The true special day will come when he posts it not way too long after the contest mmm

[weary pagoda]

Like when he will post the results of the Medieval Contest ?

[tall moss]

lets bet on it

i say 13 days

[burnt bane]

Generous bet kiwi

[weary pagoda]

I'd add an extra week

[tall moss]

👀

[burnt bane]

Kiwetus

[tall moss]

no contest today

let do out own unofficial contest

[compact saddle]

no kiwi massacre today 🙏

[tall moss]

Kiwi's very Cool and Epic Pog Competition
In our continued effort to be a pain in the ass of the contest managers, we are opening the very first unofficial sprite contest! The theme is POG, so make sure all your fusions have an expression similar to pogchamp To enter, simply DM your entries to Lottie, you have until whenever the next real contest starts. 😎

[compact saddle]

demoted

[tall moss]

im helping ok

[outer prism]

@tall moss so you made tthe other sword in the stone ;D

[weary pagoda]

I really want to do this actually 👀
Except to get a pog in a few time

[compact saddle]

[tall moss]

thats such a frenchy sentence

i gotchu skel 😂

[weary pagoda]

Oh, really ?

Sorry huehue

[tall moss]

dans quelques temps =/= in a few time 😝 "in a few moments"

[compact saddle]

what in god's name

[tall moss]

or "some time later"

[weary pagoda]

Or just "later"

[burnt bane]

can sprites you made before be entered?

or would it be unfrair cause pogduck would sweep the competition?

[weary pagoda]

Not much matters ! I was saying : You can except to receive a sprite soon

[weary pagoda]

Don't 🔫
Try something new

[tall moss]

make pogduck 2: electric boogaloo

[weary pagoda]

Question !

Are you going to manage this contest for real ?

[tall moss]

if i get more than 2 entries sure 😂

[weary pagoda]

Well, now I feel like I have to make one

So you'll get at least one

Spam everyone to enter a pog sprite

[fallen adder]

https://tenor.com/view/kittycass-peachcat-cute-waiting-gif-15951284

[weary pagoda]

I guess could be a good example ?

No wait

The best example is pogduck

[compact saddle]

here

[compact saddle]

[polar pewter]

I would consider pog contest

[brazen pawn]

@tall moss why is that not in the gallery thats great!

[tall moss]

it is tho 👀

[misty acorn]

It is. It's even used in modern mode

[brazen pawn]

Oh I misspelled magicarp

[misty acorn]

I even posted a picture of it being used by the trainer in the mm chat. Good to know that retro doesnt read that one

[brazen pawn]

Magikarp

Thats before I came I bet :p

[brazen pawn]

( I hope atleast)

[misty acorn]

Can't be. You joined before we got the first working version

🔫 👀

[outer prism]

Now we just need Magikarp/Tyranitar, Magikarp/Metagross, Magikarp/Salamance and Magikarp/Haxorus

[brazen pawn]

D:

[weary pagoda]

I except some Magikarp / Jynx / Weepinbell

[tall moss]

where search gives me nothign

[misty acorn]

Nonono, the mm planning chat

[tall moss]

oh

[tall moss]

oh yes

[outer prism]

@misty acorn we need a fisherman which just uses magikarp final pseudos

[naive summit]

magikarp contest when

[compact saddle]

im down to making metagross

favorite mon

[naive summit]

make each of the arms end in a fish tail lmao

[compact saddle]

yes

also making the fish mouth as wide as metagross'

[fallow bough]

That was the third ever contest.

[naive summit]

Magikarp contest: revisited

oh here's an idea

[naive summit]

the two year anniversary of spriting contests seems to be coming up (April 14, 2019 for the completion of the Porygon contest). Could be cool to do a celebratory contest- maybe have spriters have to fuse from previous classic compitions? just for an idea at some point

[tall moss]

porygon2

[naive summit]

haha that's also an idea

[quartz locust]

No it's not, it's Janu- oh... 😦

[crude cedar]

@tall moss collab for second part?

[wicked onyx]

f u c k

[crude cedar]

Kiwi sad

[acoustic hare]

there hasnt been one of the new age competitions announced right?

[silver merlin]

not yet

[crude cedar]

when is it gonna be announced?

i mean the first

and is the person that won the most contest in this gonna get a special role or shit?

[fallow bough]

Today.

[burnt bane]

Cute contest 2 electric Boogaloo time

[brazen pawn]

and the new rule, everyone who makes a sprite too good will be banned

[burnt bane]

Buh-bye kiwi and scarecrow deff

[fallow bough]

It uh, it's a bit more limited than that I'm afraid. 👀
Soon though.

[burnt bane]

@fallow bough please delete this

[fallow bough]

👀

[burnt bane]

it isnt 8PM yet 🔫

[fallow bough]

And I haven't actually opened a contest yet.

[burnt bane]

okay i love the post

idk whats more offensive

inscrutable Knuckles, the unpleasable Blaquaza, and Tomate.

[compact saddle]

being a tomate is very offensive

[burnt bane]

the fact that blaq is the unpleasable Blaquaza or that tomate is just tomate

dining for 2 is basically kiwi propoganda, seeing as she teamed up like 10 times last double trouble duel and well

[fallow bough]

Only three people can dine with Kiwi this time.

[compact saddle]

goddamnit why is it chinchou and not lanturn

[burnt bane]

also we absolutely cant do big sprites for interglacial? so not like the caterpie wailord from nick

[fallow bough]

That's a Caterpie head.

[burnt bane]

like

[fallow bough]

Wailord/Caterpie would instead look like a tiny Wailord, and is more what we're looking for here.

[burnt bane]

oh wait i missed that part

sorry

What the hell is a ⠠⠞⠂⠍ ?

bro just touch the screen to read the braille

[acoustic hare]

so many options for this one...

[misty acorn]

[compact saddle]

uh oh

[sleek drum]

Cute contest part 2

[fallow bough]

It's braille for team.

Because the theme is team, and there's no I in team. If you had no eyes you'd be blind, and if you were blind you'd need to read in braille.

[weary pagoda]

I just want to know that I love these new rules

[fallow bough]

I wish you knew.

[compact saddle]

i like the new contests now that i understand what they mean, i didnt ask before this one announcement to not annoy you

[weary pagoda]

I know all of your secrets

[misty acorn]

~~You really need to tone down on these jokes that are impossible to get and these weird contest stage titles that you need to be super british for to make sense or something
What the hell is "Interglacial Period" supposed to mean?
~~ 🔫 👀

[compact saddle]

tom ate too many of his meds

go back to bed and come back when you dont whine

[fallow bough]

An interglacial period is a time between ice ages. The last ice age was when the mammoths lived. Mammuth makes big sprites, while part 1 calls for small sprites, thus it's anti-mammuth. Therefore Interglacial Period.

[compact saddle]

i instantly thought of mothra larva for weedle but they're too similar and nobody would get it

[fallow bough]

That's nothing to do with being British.

[mild furnace]

Why is the contest name in braille?

[fallow bough]

Don't make me fling my favourite BTA quote at you.

[burnt bane]

bruh your jokes are next level galaxy brain

[burnt bane]

whats the quote 👀

[fallow bough]

#event-general message

[burnt bane]

pffft

[misty acorn]

Are they even still jokes then?

But I like it, being confusing as hell is what the internet stands for

[mild furnace]

I was just asking... 👀

It's not like blind people can touch the braille

since it's on a flat screen

[fallow bough]

We were just talking about it. It's barely even a full screen above your question.

[mild furnace]

there are so many things wrong with the message

[misty acorn]

Damn, I already made Clefable/Weedle, Clefable/Cleffa and Clefable/Togepi

[mild furnace]

1. It's sign language, it's meant for deaf people. Blind people can't see it
2. It's on the screen, meaning even if it was braille they wouldn't be able to read it anyways

[burnt bane]

wait

now hold on

brace yourself

consider for a moment yeh

what if

[mild furnace]

it's a joke

[burnt bane]

that was the joke

[fallow bough]

World record any% speedrun

[tawdry berry]

alright who's doing the other two with wailord heads?

[crude cedar]

Is it a cute contest or just a contest with cute bodies

You know what I mean

[mild furnace]

head or body, right?

wait a minute

but I thought the whole purpose of the teams was to make fusions with HEADS

[untold violet]

@brazen pawn I think you already know which fusion I'll do for the 3rd stage...

[brazen pawn]

Make the reverse aswell :3

[untold violet]

I mean your request, Beedrill/Farfetch'd, so you also want Farfetch'd/Beedrill ? 😮

[brazen pawn]

Ohh now I read the rules

[untold violet]

lmao ok

[brazen pawn]

Oh I thought you Posted the wailord weedle oops

[untold violet]

No lmao not me

[brazen pawn]

Yeah I just saw I was dumb

XD

I am hyped :3

[untold violet]

No worries ! I'm hyped too I already began before making my sprite for the 1st stage lol

[brazen pawn]

[nova nebula]

i got a great idea for the interglacial contest

[mild furnace]

Do i get a silver medal on the any% leaderboard ?

[burnt bane]

bronze medal bois

[compact saddle]

first one to upload two

[burnt bane]

We speedrunning this competition

[tall moss]

i just read up on the comps and

[mild furnace]

Yeah

[tall moss]

chinchou classic comp

[mild furnace]

The Interglacial Period comp style is definitely the one that fits to my request 👀 But I'm sure 99% of all other people wanted Judge and Jury ones

Definitely not because I have low patience and can't wait for more than a week in between the drive opening up and the polls opening up

[cedar quest]

Hey, to sumbit to the contest, do the images need to be 96x96 or scaled up to 288x288?

[compact saddle]

288

[cedar quest]

Ight, thanks

[naive summit]

I do have a question @fallow bough- since we know what the future contest theme/concept is ahead of time, is working ahead allowed? like, say I finish my entries for the glacial period contest in a few days.. can I start working on my entries for the next stage contest before it's begun?

[cedar quest]

That's....a valid question

[fallen adder]

I;m not good enough to be asked questions 😢

[naive summit]

isaac's just been the one making posts so I asked him sorry lmao

[fallen adder]

I was the one who came up with everything though 😏. Further details of each contest will be displayed as they open but overall you can start working on the next if you really want. Depending on the amount of entries and such we get we may switch around times since we are in a phase of seeing how things go. Overall you are probable best investing yourself fully into a sprite rather than pumping out as many as you can 👍

[naive summit]

well I mean, there's an entry limit anyways so I can't just pump out as many as I can lmao, but yeah understood

[fallen adder]

yeah. Just giving an overall answer.

[compact saddle]

bigusefulang

[fallow bough]

I came up with the names.

[tall moss]

ive gathered uo all the usable body sprites for the current contest, gen 3 +

[silver merlin]

Very cool 👀

[tall moss]

i put one of the togepis on there twice

[compact saddle]

you're awesome, kiwi

[fallow bough]

Which one?

Wait never mind.

[tall moss]

the one thats there twice

[tall moss]

i tink ima do like a dozen sprites 👀 and wait to see which 2 i wanna use as entries

[burnt bane]

that scares me

[compact saddle]

me too

[cedar quest]

[compact saddle]

can we cancel kiwi

[tall moss]

you can try

[fallow bough]

Do literally every possible sprite so that if anyone else does one after you you can call them out for copying you.

[silver merlin]

1260 sprites, good luck. 👀

[compact saddle]

also @burnt bane im sorry for stopping your idea

[burnt bane]

mmh?

[compact saddle]

since i did spiripi

[burnt bane]

pfft easy, kiwi can do that in a day

oooh

lol

dw

[compact saddle]

kiwi has the most customs in my drive

[burnt bane]

if i wanted to really make it, i would have made it as soon as the contest started

and im quite happy with my current togepi one

[compact saddle]

i hope i didnt disappoint your concept 🙏

[burnt bane]

you did

wait what

🏃‍♂️

[compact saddle]

[weary pagoda]

It seems someone already thought about using Jirachi for the actual contest. For a second I was a bit scared.

Do not make Jirachi / Togepi. This is M I N E

M Y P R O P E R T Y

[burnt bane]

I'm working on that already...

[weary pagoda]

||Stan bad||

Stop stealing my ideas 😂

[silver merlin]

i already finished it

https://tenor.com/view/hpw-caseylee-vt-yourtooslow-sonic-gif-20141993

[weary pagoda]

Finished what ?

[silver merlin]

Jirachi/Togepi

[weary pagoda]

Stan, Katten, you both stink

[compact saddle]

me too

[weary pagoda]

And of course that won't stop me from making one too

We'll just get to see which one is better

[zenith matrix]

has the KKK joke already been made about this?:#contest-gallery message

[silver merlin]

Many times

bad joke, get good lol

[fallow bough]

It's an inside joke for Tene.

[compact saddle]

is it because he's part of it

[zenith matrix]

welp, im just occasionally hoping in 🤷‍♂️

[quartz locust]

Wait it's only two entries? 😢

[silver merlin]

sadly, yes

[quartz locust]

I made an extra sprite for no reason.

[silver merlin]

i have 9 entries and i can't even submit them all, smh @fallow bough

Nobody's fault but your own that you can't read.

Real Pengu energy.

[quartz locust]

Small contest should have three entries because babs are quicker to make.

[weary pagoda]

Spriters should be banned from contests when they steal my ideas

[fallow bough]

We're trying to please everyone who left a comment in the survey, not just . 👀

[thorn robin]

then there wouldnt be a contest

[compact saddle]

what survey

[weary pagoda]

Of course there would

But I'd be the only participant

[thorn robin]

not exactly

[silver merlin]

survey that you couldn't see

[compact saddle]

oh yeah, cringe

[thorn robin]

i still haven't steal any of your ideas skel'n

[quartz locust]

I don't think I have either. 😮

[compact saddle]

"i don't even know who you are"

[quartz locust]

Smeargle contest entries are a classic Blaquaza tradition, Togekiss is the team I made and Magcargo was just because I was working on that sprite already. 😛

[weary pagoda]

But still, unless they was joking, three peeps made the sprite I'm currently working on

[compact saddle]

i never stole any ideas

[thorn robin]

why don't you check the folder

[weary pagoda]

Of course it wasn't about stealing ideas, but I remember Stan already made a sprite of a fusion I wanted to make during Medieval Contest

[quartz locust]

Guys we're starting a three entry coup.

[weary pagoda]

And here it goes same

[compact saddle]

[quartz locust]

I think the later rounds should be the ones with less entries and then the system is a better compromise. 😛

Because babs are easy to make, bigger sprites aren't. 😢

[compact saddle]

when the blaquaza

[dusk schooner]

I only have one entry, so everyone else should only have one entry, that seems pretty fair I think, my logic is inarguable and flawless

[burnt bane]

Everyone else should have 10 entries to compensate for your amazing 1 entry you mean

[silver merlin]

stan should have -10 entries.

[compact saddle]

katten should have as many entries as people request him

[brazen pawn]

OMG so many good entries already

[burnt bane]

why

[dusk schooner]

But you made the funny chicken egg, that's worth 10 atleast

[silver merlin]

why the hell not

[quartz locust]

I still think small Pokémon contests are the best ones, so I'm glad that they've been made a more consistent thing. 🙂

[compact saddle]

[quartz locust]

Working under weird constraints brings out the best in people. 😄

[dusk schooner]

I agree with that

You know it makes sense.

[fallow bough]

Also you can submit as many entries as you want.

It's just that if you submit more than two you get disqualified.

[compact saddle]

why does blaquaza not accept the right thing

[quartz locust]

What happened to you Scrapi? You used to be cool. 😦

[compact saddle]

never was

[tall moss]

i still want an infinite entries contest one day 👀

[burnt bane]

kiwi only contest you mean?

[quartz locust]

That's the "Kiwi gets the top 20" contest. 😂

[tall moss]

ill submit only weedle, cleffa and togepi sprites

[silver merlin]

And it shouldn't have a theme, you can submit anything you want

half pixels, anything.

i'll submit all my sprites

[burnt bane]

kiwi how many teams do you have planned for dining for 2

[quartz locust]

We have to get them to overthrow Natu and Voltorb as the most used bodies.

[tall moss]

0 so far 👀

[burnt bane]

make that 1 🤝

[silver merlin]

make that 2

[silver merlin]

[tall moss]

👀 nooo 17 sprites was totally fair and acceptable, the new entry limit is totally unrelated

[wind topaz]

If you read between the lines, you can see that Kiwi is actually banned from participating

[thorn robin]

i remember the days where contests didn't have much talented spriters, good old days (never won any of those lmao)

[wind topaz]

His sprites will not be included in the voting

[tall moss]

how dare

ima submit 12 entries to purposefilly disqualify myself then

[wind topaz]

That’s a permanent ban

[misty acorn]

Nobody tell her that making 15 sprites will result in promotion to mod

After being banned

[brazen pawn]

the moment you wanted to sprite every body with beedrill head but all have been done already

[misty acorn]

I know your pain

[mild furnace]

[tall moss]

i posted chinchou/weedle just before the contest opened too

[brazen pawn]

i mean this breaks rule 7, but thats worth it. I just saw the winner

[tall moss]

who made that

[compact saddle]

retro naughty

[brazen pawn]

kiwi guess who

[mild furnace]

if I draw 4 black pixels in a square, can it be jigglypuff/togepi?

[brazen pawn]

look at the head mon is a clue

[tall moss]

[brazen pawn]

knuckles a girl confirmed?

[tall moss]

hm yes thats definitely knuckles' name

[compact saddle]

my irl name is scrapi

[mild furnace]

No way

[brazen pawn]

Mine is Retro

[mild furnace]

Yeah my real name is ||[REDACTED]|| E. Penguinton, Esq.

[brazen pawn]

[tall moss]

you should still remove your last name tho

just to be safe

[wind topaz]

I always knew Kiwi was a harpy

[acoustic hare]

@fallow bough If someone were to start working on the second round's sprites now,would they be considered illegible?

[tall moss]

do it secretly

ive actually secretly made 158 000 sprites that i have yet to add to the gallery, im just waiting for contests i can submit them to

[thorn robin]

Kiwi has done all the 420 heads for chinchou fusions by now

So we gotta do chinchou body for the contest

F

[naive summit]

BTA said its fine apparently

asked that last night lmao

[mental ingot]

how many submissions can one enter per contest section thing? is it 2 per, or is the whole thing 1 big contest and you can only do so many in total?

[mild furnace]

The contests from now on are split up into three "mini-contests."

This is the first mini-contest

But I'm pretty sure the amount is 2

[mental ingot]

thank you

[acoustic hare]

This one is 2,part 2 is 3

Part 3 we don't know

[tall moss]

part 3 will vary

[mental ingot]

For the part 3, I know more will come out later but just so I have a mindset for it, when it says team leader: like a Gym Leaders top pokemon, or something else?

[fallow bough]

Yeah, it's why we're announcing them all at once. This series is still a test run, we don't quite have everything figured out yet, so stuff might change. But we'll always work around the idea that you can make sprites in advance. As soon as something's announced you can work on it.

[fallow bough]

If you want. That could certainly be one way to interpret it.

[fallow bough]

If you made it less than a week before the contest opened then that's still allowed to be submitted, as per the pinned rules. 👀

[naive summit]

doesn't the pin say within a week?

[acoustic hare]

Wait so is that a yes or a no

[naive summit]

that was a yes

[tall moss]

its not as good as my other entries tho 👀

[fallow bough]

That's what I meant, I'll fix that. You saw nothing. 👀

[fallow bough]

Yeah you can work on things for part 2 or 3 the second a competition series opens.

[acoustic hare]

Ic ic

[fallow bough]

We know not every part will appeal to every person, so if you really don't want to do part 1 you can get started on the bits you do want.

[acoustic hare]

I could work on part 2 or make better sprites for part 1 hmmm

[naive summit]

both!

[acoustic hare]

But i dont know if the ones i have are good cause people wont tell me 😩

[leaden cradle]

Okay, that's my two entries.

[naive summit]

I have to pick between the three but I'm p confident of which two I'm submitting

[burnt bane]

pheww im thinking of making a gif for the contest

seeing as entries are smoll so it wont be as tough

[silver merlin]

ok so stan wins

[burnt bane]

i have no idea how to animate tho

[burnt bane]

well actually thats what scares me

[compact saddle]

ok so stan wins

[burnt bane]

spend shit load of time on it and then somehow still lose

to make the number even

[burnt bane]

idk if i'll have time for a second

[compact saddle]

ok so hear me out

you have 3 days

[compact saddle]

ill make the sprite for you and you claim its yours

[burnt bane]

yeh but

animation

[thorn robin]

wow

stan

you don't need a second entry if you finish that

[quartz locust]

Is there a way of anonymising the metadata of who submitted sprites so it can't reveal people's names? 😮

[fallen adder]

Pretty sure you can't

[fallow bough]

If we had a different way of submitting things then yeah.

But by having people directly upload to a drive, no.

[fallen adder]

Do you want em anon?

[quartz locust]

Yeah, I got a bit anxious when I found out you could see people's names. 😢

[fallow bough]

Couldnt we possibly just dm you guys the entries

[fallow bough]

Feel free to ping me when replying. I won't blow up at you like a terrible moderator would, since I feel like if you're talking to me I'd like to actually know about it. 🔫

[burnt bane]

@fallow bough who are you talking about

[silver merlin]

s

[fallow bough]

You could, but it gets messy if you then go "oh wait I need to edit that" or "Oh actually I'd rather submit a different sprite". It is something I've considered, though. What I would do is make it so there's only a day allowed for submissions at the end, so that everything is ready before then.

[silver merlin]

oh sorry, i replied by a mistake

[fallow bough]

Like obviously we'd still announce them and be like "hey you have five days to make a sprite", but entries would only open on the final day.

It's not perfect though, which is why I haven't considered changing to that. If people are busy on the last day it works against them, and regardless it just means a lot of people will be sitting on a sprite for ages.

[sweet pond]

"You will have from the 27th of March to the 3rd of April" this one end at my birthday 👀

[tall moss]

people can just change the email theyre logged into to submit sprites if they dont want their main one public 🤔

[leaden cradle]

I also had to pick between 3, it was hard.

[quartz locust]

I had the same decision, I think we all did a fusion for each bab and then realised it was one too many. 😦

Make the cap three again.

[silver merlin]

~~Isaac won't listen to a ~~

[leaden cradle]

I actually made three weedle fusions.

[silver merlin]

i made 13 sprites that could be entered for this contest

[fallow bough]

Stop. 🙂

[leaden cradle]

I put them through peer review in another server to decide which two to enter.

[fallen adder]

Let us experiment for this week

[silver merlin]

This month, but yeah.

[quartz locust]

How is it nearly April? 😦

For that matter, how is it 2021? 😮

there are so many entries

[burnt bane]

smoll sprites are very motivating i think

easy and quickly made

[tall moss]

yis

[burnt bane]

entries go speed mode

[thorn robin]

Stan you still have time for entry 2

[burnt bane]

and then i made an entry that is neither easy NOR quickly made

[brazen pawn]

how much time is left?

[thorn robin]

You have unitl 26

[burnt bane]

3 days

[brazen pawn]

oh thats fine

[thorn robin]

I love how quickly these entries were made, but i also dislike it cause i think i havent done enough with the designs

Even tho they're perfectly fine

[quartz locust]

To me, small sprites are a case of "simple but effective". Like it's one thing to go all out with a crazy kaiju monster, but making an impressive, clear fusion between two Pokémon when the body is pretty small is a lot more impressive to me. 🙂

[thorn robin]

Xillo did a great job with the shooting star and stan with the animation

[burnt bane]

or a gif :dab:

[burnt bane]

xillo's one is top tier

[thorn robin]

And kiwi did just kiwi, so she deserves no attention what so ever

And blaq's are pretty cool too

Katten's egg is epic too

And scrapi did great as always

And i shouldnt be talking about this sprites so much cause i feel like i might end up steping into rule7

Oh damn

[tall moss]

arent sprites just like, 4kb each 👀

[thorn robin]

They're about that

Thats why that number is so scary

But there are also a few animations

[sharp mountain]

Oh, is there a chart/link for every mon's IF Dex number?

I don't think it matters in this case, but...

Additionally, are we allowed to post/ask for feed back anywhere?

Yes

[sharp mountain]

I mean if it's in competitions, but yes.

Or one has to be the head and body?

[compact saddle]

anyone can be head

[thorn robin]

But i wouldnt recommend using the head of the ones already submited for the contest

[compact saddle]

if they're good enough they can just do it better

[thorn robin]

There are a few entries there that i would have tackled differently

[compact saddle]

yeah like that one

[thorn robin]

Exactly

[compact saddle]

and that one too

[brazen pawn]

New togepi base, new cleffa or a new weedle base you decide

[compact saddle]

all

[brazen pawn]

Only one more entry is allowed

[fallow bough]

Togepi.

[brazen pawn]

KK I think I know what I am gonna do

[misty acorn]

Just use as a base

[brazen pawn]

No its gonna cry for once xD

[thorn robin]

you meanie retro

you're gonna make a baby cry

[sharp mountain]

D:

my idea is ||teddiursa moon pattern but it's cleffa's head curl instead? though it'll probably be nore like absol to make it more...noticeable||

[wicked onyx]

blaqs saying this cause he cant make Kaiju sprites

(this is a joke)

[compact saddle]

i, definitely, with all honesty, cannot make big sprites

[quartz locust]

You're also not wrong.

[burnt bane]

Kaiju are sprites

So you're saying blaq can't make sprites

you're absolutely correct

[compact saddle]

blaq, you can shade kaiju sprites, though, remember?

[quartz locust]

Can I?

[compact saddle]

except kaiju sprites chest fur

[brazen pawn]

I more entries were allowed we would have got more custom bases :3

[tall moss]

custom chinchou when?

[brazen pawn]

I mean you are nice so i could do that tommorow ( doing homework nahhh, doing sprites yes)

[compact saddle]

the more you'll need to upload for my drive

[brazen pawn]

true XD

[sharp mountain]

It seems the answer is "yes" judging from others, but you can submit both in the contest and the spriter-gallery?

[wind topaz]

Yes

It’s expected that you submit sprites to gallery if they’re in the game

[mental ingot]

some of us cant submit to the gallery

[nova nebula]

well, the idea with contests is that you actually make enough sprites to be a spriter before you participate

you know, as you do

[sharp mountain]

Been trying to do that too.

[tall moss]

people who arent spriters are allowed to participate in contests tho its be great if you guys eventually also became ones and started posting to the gallery

contests are meant to motivate people to make sprites for the game

[burnt bane]

OOOOH..I thought they were meant to crush all your hopes and dreams by never winning bc some weird pink triangle also participates

[silver merlin]

ban kiwi

[burnt bane]

Yes🔫

[compact saddle]

agree

[tall moss]

and then you guys wonder why mammuth stopped hanging around here

[compact saddle]

we don't, actually

[burnt bane]

I never said anything about mammuth and heavily defended him, and I know you can take this

[compact saddle]

it just has to be fair
degrade yourself to our level

[patent lance]

No no

[silver merlin]

yes yes

[patent lance]

Get better and dont be salty 😎

[compact saddle]

no

[silver merlin]

no no

[patent lance]

In the time people spend whining they could have been improving 😎

[compact saddle]

bitch I AM improving
just not enough to ever reach that high

[patent lance]

gO HIGHER!!

[compact saddle]

i will forever remain in the contest winner's shadows

[patent lance]

Thats oka

y

[silver merlin]

y

[patent lance]

: )

[compact saddle]

that's not what my paranoia and self esteem say

[patent lance]

Kick them in the nuts

[compact saddle]

alright

[silver merlin]

in the coconuts

[patent lance]

fact, my favorite word its nuts

[burnt bane]

[silver merlin]

nooo

[outer prism]

whens the deadline for the cute stuff?

[burnt bane]

tomorrow at 9PM (for us)

[patent lance]

(for sus)

[compact saddle]

yes

[misty acorn]

I was thinking of doing a Chinchou/Torterra in the same style as the Lanturn/Torterra, just without being cut off and using transparent pixels

[compact saddle]

@burnt bane

[burnt bane]

Smells like fusion theft in here

[compact saddle]

tbh the other way around sounds more fun to me

also you never picked one of the options i sent you, stan

[thorn robin]

did you send options to everyone

slut

[compact saddle]

i actually had a whole list of options and only sent the ones which i think you two would like the most

no need to thank me for being a good partner

[thorn robin]

oh my

[compact saddle]

2nd frame of hgss animation if yall need it

the canvas is 80x80 since i just pulled it from spriters resource

[burnt bane]

Send more then

[compact saddle]

my brain dont have enough idea

the collab isnt only me too, yknow

[burnt bane]

I know

I'm here for the skills

[compact saddle]

oh ok so im better off alone then, if i depend on your skills

[burnt bane]

[compact saddle]

go to dms and choose now, bish

[weary pagoda]

Heya Scrapi, wanna collab ?

[brazen pawn]

how about a custom base pokemon contest :3

[silver merlin]

[fallow bough]

Then Part 3 requires that people use those bases to make sprites.

[tall moss]

oooo

[brazen pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/perfect-sigourney-weaver-amazing-solid-great-gif-4604337

[fallow bough]

Would enough people make custom bases for that to be a thing that could happen?

[burnt bane]

What would be part 2 (or 1 then)

[tall moss]

part 1: custom sprites to scavenge for parts to use for the head mon
part 2: body bases
part 3: only use sprites from part 1 and 2
