[toxic ocean]

Blake what do you have to say about this.

[vernal lance]

everfilling el chat with L O R E

[toxic ocean]

I hope Blake says yes on this now I'll get to submitting the ship.

[toxic ocean]

In Jan/Feb tournament we could do so that submit complete ships and add things like minor optimization.

[strange mango]

usually, at least one full ship or at least help with 2 ships are what i count as a colab, but id can depend on a few factors

i dont see a problem with adding lore after the deadline

[vernal lance]

is adding lore to a ship made by someone else considered a collab

like all of their ships

[strange mango]

no, i dont consider adding lore alone a colab

[toxic ocean]

DIDIT!

GAWD

That was stressful.

In budget too.

I am in such panic right now.

NEEDTOGO BYEEEE-

[slow axle]

blake wake up :D good morning

[vernal lance]

i just made him a glory shot with all ships

[strange mango]

@toxic ocean so, jackhapper and powerdrills prices dont match, but seeing that power drill is more cheaper than jackhammer is too expensive, it cancels out to be less costly overall

[slow axle]

30minute left

[strange mango]

5 minutes

[barren yacht]

blake i think yugi posted 5 ships and only 1 of them was a collab

[strange mango]

hang on let me double check that

you seem to be correct

[barren yacht]

am i blind or is vaen not in the form?

Vaengirian

[strange mango]

i think google forgot to save the doc at one point, because im positive i added them

[barren yacht]

btw what do u do if there is a tie in the section about tiebreaking

[slow axle]

will that be a top 5 or top 3?!

that will be a lot of tie 😓

[barren yacht]

blake it disallowed me from voting when there was a change to the form, i reloaded the page and it saved my progress and i resumbitted

and i was able to vote without the link because it was already in my browser before u deleted it

for me, the poll was updated to include vaen after i refreshed the page so i think it's good to just repost

bro...

why did u remove them

[slow axle]

eh i'm gonna eat gonna come back when all be fixed

[barren yacht]

i literally said that it updated and disallowed me from voting until i reloaded the page

ughh i'm too lazy to look thru the submissions again

[strange mango]

because it was missing someone, and the results get a bit messed up if i change the title of someone whos already got a vote

[barren yacht]

it wasn't missing anyone

i literally saw that vaen in the list

because i refreshed the page

[strange mango]

oh, i did not know it updated live, in that case, sorry for the inconvenience. but the other point still stands

[past bramble]

So if i voted am i suppose to revote?

[strange mango]

yes

i cleared the results cus it messes up the results if i didnt

[strange mango]

winners are still the top 3 and top 6, cus like you said, otherwise there will be so many ties

[toxic ocean]

Okie...

My ships are the hottest of messes, especially the 2 largest... But I hope at least they're pretty.

....And I will hopefully get the chance to finish them.

[stiff sandal]

Aight

Let the voting commence

[toxic ocean]

All they really need is crew management and lore. Otherwise complete.

I sure hope I/We at least get a ship ir two in.

*or

[oak plaza]

How long would the voting last...?

3 days...?

A week...?

[toxic ocean]

7 Days to die

[oak plaza]

Well there is still time to endorse...
Hahahahahaha
I'll just ask my GF tomorrow...

I gotta head out...
I'm tired as fuck...
Goodnight guys...

[toxic ocean]

What are you gonna ask?

Whatever won't bother ya with it good night

[desert trail]

oh noes my name has a typo, i dont actualy care i just thogt i'd point it out

its funny

[strange mango]

in all honesty, just one typo might as well be a personal record for me

regardless, its not too confusing that it needs a fix i think

[desert trail]

yep

[toxic ocean]

Lol. I sure remember there was only one or two in January's.

[desert trail]

actually iv just realised my name technically has 2 typos, but one of them was from wen i originally made it and i don't mind

[toxic ocean]

Why do you mind typos anyways you make them yourself all the time.

Anyways there's another thing I have to do with my ships, making them compatible with Autoram.

Basically all of them ram.

So thanks Kawa ^v^

[desert trail]

exactly lol

[stiff sandal]

Gotta say, snows designs turned out quite nicely

[toxic ocean]

Eh, they're decent. I don't like the splitter (Chronos bias ) and the large one is very awkward.

[toxic ocean]

What do you think of mines?

*Mine?

And of course powerdrill is painted by Yuuki.

Quite nicely so.

[stiff sandal]

Well, the large one bears a nice frontal section, but perhaps

[stiff sandal]

It's a favourite

[toxic ocean]

Hmm.

Fav from me specifically?

[past bramble]

heh my ship is the second largest again

[slow axle]

who's the largest?

[past bramble]

the monolith one by rose ship

[slow axle]

to be fair it literally do not have armor

[toxic ocean]

Yeah I held myself from making another largest ship.

[stiff sandal]

Tied with the anvil

[toxic ocean]

Okie.

[bronze citrus]

Aww man shoulda changed the colour scheme

I really preferred the one u sent me in dms

[toxic ocean]

I personally loved it.

[bronze citrus]

It looks fine but uhh its just orange monolitth

I said that the ones u sent me in dms i preferred… it would fit the collective scheme better

The scheme was a placeholder D:

[toxic ocean]

Orange Monolith is cool. I'd say Mono could benefit from orange ships.

[bronze citrus]

Please just replace it… if you can. Like i think orangeolith works but not in this context, it was purely a placeholder

@toxic ocean like fr 💀

[toxic ocean]

A L R I G H T . . . . .

[toxic ocean]

It's just that all the tools have different schemes and I don't want two ships of the same exact schemes... Plus I love the slightly ''rot color'' looking grey you did there.

Whatever though.

[atomic flicker]

@strange mango Not sure if this is a a big deal, but I noticed that my ships in the save game file were a little bit different than the final ones I had edited in my submission. Mostly really tiny changes paint changes that I am honestly not really bothered by, but 'Pugio' has slightly different internals, and notably the name changed 'Falcata' ship still shows up as 'Gladius' which might cause some very minor confusion in the voting process. Sorry about the mix-up, I probably should've been clearer when I had originally resubmitted them and/or deleted the originals fully rather than editing the messages individually.

[strange mango]

you are allowed to edit ships after they win, so thats not a problem, regarding the name, i can post an updated save game with a fixed name if you want

[atomic flicker]

Ah, gotcha. No worries about reuploading the save - I don't think things will be that confusing. Thanks for the clarification!

[slow axle]

how far can we edit them?

find that very vague so i'm asking more info

[strange mango]

things like editing the internals, adding new parts as they get released are fine, just dont stray too far from the original design as far as shape and paint goes

[slow axle]

so i can't perfected my paint

[strange mango]

i mean, there is an agrument to be made for fixing paint errors, but other than that, if you can convince the architects its pretty much fair game.

[slow axle]

thanks for clarification

[toxic ocean]

Very good.

At this point we have a free week over the original Design Contest XDD

[stiff sandal]

Wonder what ships the architects will accept

Gonna make bets Immortals Mirah

[tight tapir]

I personally think the singing blade is the best ship in that set

[mortal cave]

That red and the blue clash so hard though

[slow axle]

^

[tight tapir]

Nah it works

I just wish the ships were more curvy

They may have cabal paint, but without it they're just walls

[toxic ocean]

Screw that top 4 best ships are from Immortal.

Lol.

The fifth is Stagger to me.

Okay not really.

Top 3 are from Immortal though. Not fan of the smol one.

Fourth is Stagger, fifth is....... Uhm... Probably Kaine's Battle Barge.

[late zenith]

Shattered Anvil, Solar Flare, Kiana's Organ and any of Immortal's ships look really nice in particular

[oak plaza]

You didnt even vote for Kiana's Organ...😭

[oak plaza]

glad seeing someone liking my builds...

[oak plaza]

for her to vote for me of course...
"SUPPORT"

[tired vapor]

that's what i did too lol

[late zenith]

alrighty I voted

[lapis niche]

Nah you hit me too lol

Eager to see the results

1 week is 7 days too many

[fast goblet]

Your ship is awesome, definitely my favorite in this contest. I hope you get a winning place! :)

[mortal cave]

I didn't see you submit any ships this time round TastyCoffee

[vernal lance]

they didnt have time

damn i couldnt find hawaiian

oh if only i can revote for them

[slow axle]

honestly if Solar Flare don't make it in i'm gonna shoot a bullet in my feet

[flint abyss]

i voted

why did kaine not pinged me :(

[strange mango]

blue and red is a hard combo to make work, though its not impossible, deoxys from pokemon makes it work pretty well for example. as for the ship, i personally think it works, though it would have been better if the red was a lighter shade or even pink. as the dark red makes the contrast against the lighter blue even bigger.

[slow axle]

tbh deoxys more orange imo

but pink work very well

[strange mango]

in some depictions it kinda looks orange, but in others its definitely red

[slow axle]

oh i see

[wanton granite]

Blue and red ships have that differentiating effect

[toxic ocean]

I didn't list the ships I voted for... I am not foolish.

[toxic ocean]

Rigging votes via relatives.

[toxic ocean]

That will be amusing to watch :p

[vernal lance]

im gonna need to watch that uncensored with full sound

[toxic ocean]

Send me the video too please.

[strange mango]

i dont think anyone here is serious about it, but please do not promote, encourage or joke about self harm

on another note, everyone has at least 2 votes now

[desert trail]

i think if this was tumbler or reddit it'd be mutch worce

[desert trail]

nice

[vernal lance]

did i vote hawaiian

[strange mango]

is this a question?

[vernal lance]

yes

[strange mango]

i dont know, i can only see the votes, there are no names attached to them

[desert trail]

ah, that might be the reson i cant do it agen

[strange mango]

there is a limit of one vote per person, naturally, as otherwise the results can be rigged

[desert trail]

makes sence

[slow axle]

yay

[mortal cave]

Deoxys is typically a much more orange red, wheris singing blade is a crimson paired with a deep blue

[oak plaza]

Bruh, Hahahahaha...
Its just one...

[toxic ocean]

Lol.

[oak plaza]

My bad Bro...

Been busy pretty lately...

[strange mango]

the poxedex calls it red, so so do i. carvanha, gloom, vileplume, druddigon, the tentacool line, salamence, the roggenrola line, toxicroak, the garchomp line and the totodile line also use primarly red and blue and look nice design wise. so my point that it can work still stands

[toxic ocean]

(Why the heck do I have to remind the creator of this channel and the host of the tournaments about r4?)

#off-topic

[slow axle]

speaking about color

like duh

[toxic ocean]

Yes and?

Talking about a color of what I think to be a pokemon?

I was once talking about ship permutations and I got told off for being off-topic, at least I was talking about Cosmoteer ships and their design goddamnit.

You do everything to disagree with me.

[desert trail]

isin't thare a pokemon that evryone calls weed cat for some resason?

[strange mango]

i mean, fair

but its about colour theory of a contest ship

[toxic ocean]

Alrighty.

[slow axle]

to be fair i could say ya the exact same

[toxic ocean]

Honestly if not for your constant rudeness towards me I'd never have urge to answer back. I almost never have conflicts with anybody over mundane things.

[strange mango]

both of you, this is not the place to argue

[slow axle]

wasen't planing any arguement
sorry bout that

[past bramble]

i like the Red and blue contrast it reminds me of the Martini racing livery

[toxic ocean]

Yeah, red and blue contrast each other well in my opinion as well.

It's just that Immortal's ship uses them slightly incorrectly in my opinion.

The red is obnoxiously bright and doesn't go well with the tame sky blue.

The ship still slaps though.

[lapis niche]

So like a +1 next to Solar Flare right? Lol

[tribal heath]

Obnoxiously bright, you say?

[toxic ocean]

Yes.

But also pretty.

[tribal heath]

Bruh

[toxic ocean]

What.

Neverind the original is less bright lol.

For some reason the dark one looks worse though, than the obnoxiously bright one?

One way or another this is still a gorgeously painted ship despite the scheme, that's what I meant

[tribal heath]

For my point currently paint scheme in submission is completely fine. So, we just have a different view.

[toxic ocean]

Alrighty.

[strange mango]

i will be away for a couple hours for a medical appointment. if you need me for anything contest related, just give me a ping and ill get to you as soon as im back

[mortal cave]

If someone needed something wouldn't they ping you anyway, then you respond when you get back anyway?

[oak plaza]

It dared to defy the natural laws of man...

[toxic ocean]

B r i t e

[strange mango]

yes, im just saying it may take a bit longer for me to respond

since the norm is that im basically always available i try to give a heads up when thats not the case

[tired vapor]

cover in sun damage effect

[fast goblet]

The colours are fine imo
Definitely far from "obnoxious"

[slow axle]

color clashing hurt me more

usually i enjoy bright

[desert trail]

its a nice paintjob

[oak plaza]

They are nutty with it...
And the unexpected match of colors is very striking...

[past bramble]

when will voting end?

[strange mango]

the 8th of may

[toxic ocean]

I don't want to finish managing Powerdrill it's SOO TEDIOUS 😩

But I have to.

Also add autoram.

[oak plaza]

Nani...
You can still fix your ship when it's currently voting...?

https://tenor.com/view/flushed-emoji-sus-flushed-emoji-flushed-sussy-emoji-gif-25009862

[toxic ocean]

Y U P

Couldn't finish it in time because unlike some, I have a life.

[strange mango]

https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1081651425999863949 i made a thread for that.

mind you, you cant stray too far form the original design (unless you can convince the architects)

[toxic ocean]

I mean of course.

I am literally there to do crew roles I couldn't finish.

[strange mango]

also the thread is primarily intended for ships that are in the game already, not really for during the voting stage

[toxic ocean]

Hm

[strange mango]

however i think it can also be used to edit your ships after they win but the architects reject them, so you may have another shot

this may have changed without me knowing though, since, once again, im not in the conversation regarding the future of contests

[vernal lance]

when do we get notifications of architects rejecting our ships

[strange mango]

good question, im not quite sure, but i assume the architects will either directly make a post about it, or redirect it to me so i can make the post

[oak plaza]

Bro let us first pray that our ships get in first...
Hahahahaha...

You are conceited much...

[vernal lance]

i dont play career so i dont know which of my ships last contest made it to career

[strange mango]

i think non of them have yet

[oak plaza]

Yup, none yet...

Even my last Scrapyard needs a refurbish...

To fit the aesthetic...

[vernal lance]

oh right i forgot the guy that plays career 28 hours a day is in this chat

[oak plaza]

You Dare, Challenge Me Mortal...

[vernal lance]

of course he would know if any of the ships made it in

[oak plaza]

You should play it too you know...

So you can gauge the difficulty tweak...

[vernal lance]

im sorry but lagging at 2 fps on the starting system with a pretty much unedited model s isnt a thing for me

[oak plaza]

You gotta save up for a PC dude...

[slow axle]

i just wish communication will be good on that 🙏

[strange mango]

if it comes to me i will do my best to make sure of that

[oak plaza]

Aren't they going to use that one channel for ship fixes and updates...

[vernal lance]

go complain to my mother about saving up for an nvidia 80095 uhd 10k screen with state of the art dry ice cooled systems that runs on a perfect 1000fps with a lag machine on the most intensive game on windows

i know i sure wont

[oak plaza]

I'm poor too you know...
I'm playing in a sideshow presentation...

[vernal lance]

i mean do you get kicked for being existant in a game of pvp

do you exist in 1 fps hell while playing cosmoteer

does your discord fucking crash from fucking existing

do you have to force restart because you joined a vc stream while opening up cosmoteer

[oak plaza]

Stop it, stop it, I get it...

[vernal lance]

i can guarantee your "piece of shit computer" isnt gonna do any of that 3 times a week

[tired vapor]

my old pc did actually

have been banned from almost every competitive player's games on that one

[vernal lance]

you dont get a fucking clue from what this rusty rag does

[oak plaza]

Well, to give you consolation, it's not my PC, it's a family PC I'm playing on so chill brother...

Hesusmaryjoseph....

[strange mango]

kindly keep the topic on design contests. but feel free to continue in #off-topic

[oak plaza]

Sorry Blake...

Anyways, there will be no next contest for now right...?

[strange mango]

the future of contests is uncertain, so for now there are no official contests planned, though there may be one or two unofficial ones to make up for that (depending on the feedback)

[oak plaza]

Can I clarify something about something in the contest voting gform...

[strange mango]

sure

[oak plaza]

What's there about not getting recognition or the ship wouldn't get added in the game...

Is it not official or are you just putting a disclaimer...

[strange mango]

can you screenshot what you are refering too? im not quite sure what you mean

[oak plaza]

I can't go back to it cuz I already voted...
But its the big announcement on the second half of the voting gform...

[strange mango]

ah, it said nothing about not getting recognition, but unofficial contests just mean that winners cant get added to the game. so its a disclaimer of sorts yes

[oak plaza]

I just wanna ask if that's for future contest and doesn't apply on this one...?

I was still thinking of pushing through with that one favor I ask of you my Dude...

[strange mango]

it does not at all aplly to future official contests

[strange mango]

dont worry, that hasnt changed, i will still request that to walt in case you win

[oak plaza]

Thanks...

[tired vapor]

the question was for a possible, future, unofficial contest

this contest is the same as the last

[toxic ocean]

#off-topic

[strange mango]

i already mentioned it

[toxic ocean]

Okie

It's just really ibnox sometimes.

*Obnoxious

I get called off for one or two slightly offtopic messages and some clowns can get away with dozens.

[tired vapor]

#general actually, it's cosmtoeer related

[toxic ocean]

Yayaya

The message itself was off the topic that's why I said that.

[strange mango]

i try to be consistent with it, its not really my job to be a mod but i do what i can

[vernal lance]

you talk when blake is intently observing
we talk when they look away for 2 minutes
you and i are not the same

[toxic ocean]

Yes, you choose to not playbfair unlike me.

You and I indeed not same.

[tired vapor]

#off-topic

[strange mango]

^

[vernal lance]

scrapped contest ship that im sad had to be scrapped for context

[tired vapor]

why did it have to be scapped

[vernal lance]

budget cuts

[strange mango]

not to worry, increasing the budget is on my to do list, both for official and unofficial contests

[tired vapor]

i probably could've optimzied ur other stuff

[strange mango]

air might as well be the unofficial contest ship optimizer at this point.

[vernal lance]

true

[tired vapor]

i think i'm the unofficial everything optimizer at this point lol

[toxic ocean]

^

[toxic ocean]

Literally the only flaw in the contest rules that was not resolved in favor of resolving things like ''only submitting minimum of three ships at a time.''

[strange mango]

you are aware i removed that minimum, right?

i read that wrong like, 3 times

[toxic ocean]

Yes yes, you did that.

But did you make it so that less than 3 ships aren't eligible in participating the first kind of votings where you vote the best fleets?

/sets of ships.

[strange mango]

i just did not include single ship submissions in the first category

[toxic ocean]

Mhm.

But I think 2 ships is a bit of a stretch as well.

[strange mango]

i see, ill keep it in mind

[slow axle]

me with my only issue being too much budget

[toxic ocean]

The biggest skill issue I've ever seen.

[desert trail]

what you dont have a vodka cooled pc?

i mean i dont ether, but it sounds cool

[toxic ocean]

#off-topic

That's funny though.

[toxic ocean]

@ionic jay Is this an okay amount of nukes for a factionless difficulty 9?

I tried with mines but it failed miserably.

[strange mango]

theres not really any reason to ask during the votes, if you got a winning spot, im sure you will be notified whether or not its an acceptable amount and get the chance to edit it if need be

[toxic ocean]

Hmm... Maybe you're right.

[toxic ocean]

It should really be ''Titans' Workshop'' but okay.

Yeah I'm voting.

Don't really want to vote for myself though, I consider this a rather silly move.

By the way if you're wondering why I brought this up...

Titan's implies that it's of a single titan.
Titans' implies that it's of multiple titans.

However I do not blame you as I know you have some issues with grammar because... Well yeah.

[vernal lance]

dyxlesia

[strange mango]

oh i see, my bad, i kinda didnt realise it was about multiple titans and came to the conclusion it was a typo since titan has no s usually

[toxic ocean]

Hmm I see.

I love how you felt the need to point out which one was which as their names are hilariously complicated.

That's comedy XD

[strange mango]

that and the submission was a bit messy format wise, it was not clear which one was which be the submission alone

[toxic ocean]

Yeah.

Teratron is a weird guy.

[strange mango]

we're all weird one way or another

[toxic ocean]

@strange mango

[strange mango]

?

[toxic ocean]

Where's Yuuki's credit.

The ship was literally 95% painted by him.

My fault though.

I was in such a rush forgot to credit him in the ship submission itself.

[strange mango]

oh, my mistake, but also i was mostly referencing the submission when typing the last few names and i dont see credits per ship

[strange mango]

its still on the ship credits, no worrys

[toxic ocean]

👍

Done 👌

[strange mango]

i guess no random dutch this time, not sure why as i didnt edited it back to english

the tie vote is pretty close between all get the spot and tie breaker, i am honestly not sure how i would go about it if it actually tied but it sure would be funny

[toxic ocean]

With ties it would be too many ships added in...

Which is good, because there are an extreme amount of amazing submissions.

Only problem I have is too many ships submitted which kinda makes the point of the contest be lost.

For me the best would still have been top 3 and top 6 but tied ships win.

Instead of top 5 and top 10 which is just a ludicrous amount.

[strange mango]

its just the voters that got extra votes, the winning places stayed the same

[vernal lance]

we are definitely tied with someone and we are definitely gonna lose that tie breaker

[toxic ocean]

I sure hope I'm not tied with you guys like the previous contest, because I sure no I will lose that.

[strange mango]

im not gonna comment on that as to not spoil anything

[toxic ocean]

Your ships are objectively better than mine which don't have a coherent theme and are messy.

But individually I still love them.

[vernal lance]

my favorite from your set is the last 2

[toxic ocean]

I just love Shattered Anvil and how it turned out, smol bois are good too.

[toxic ocean]

Thanks.

[wispy vigil]

Hmmm

[toxic ocean]

Hmmm indeed.

[gloomy whale]

Ok, roger. I am sorry about resending ships of the same class(I though coop ships are considered a different submiter). I completely agree with your decision of keeping the coop one and thank you.

Well......The ship was made by Old-Joe, the other player, I only did the paint.

[strange mango]

happy to hear i made the right choice with keeping the colab ship. by the way, feel free to share the vote link and save game to the participants in the Chinese cosmoteer community (assuming the language barrier wont be too much of a problem).

[vernal lance]

i wanna redo hatchet's paint

it just looks weird

[slow axle]

last day of voting?

nevermind it's the 8th

[strange mango]

thats what https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1081651425999863949 is for. if it wins, you are free to update its paint, add new parts as they come out, and do other general fixes. tho personally i already like its paint as is

[strange mango]

we are a bit over an hour away from hitting the 24 hour mark. i will make an announcement then

[vernal lance]

i wanna update it right now

[strange mango]

i mean you could, there is just not really a reason to do that as tons of people already voted with the current version in mind

but feel free to post an updated version here

[slow axle]

thx

[past bramble]

updated thornyard's paint

gonna rename it to casuarius and rebrand it as an imperium

[vernal lance]

still doesnt feel imperiumy enough

[past bramble]

hmm what do you think is missing

[vernal lance]

dunno look at something like rufescent

[wispy vigil]

This voting period lasted longer than the last

[strange mango]

i was still getting votes throughout the whole week this time , last time there where no votes after the first few days. though overall im getting less votes this time

[wispy vigil]

Interesting

[oak plaza]

I could still use the names of the ships that I made that Didn't win right...?

[strange mango]

yes, non winning ship names are fine to be reused

[oak plaza]

I wanna take some names from the last contest to the next one...

I already have a new idea for Blowtorch, Scraper, and Brute...

[strange mango]

in fact, if you really wanted to, non winning ships are fine to be reused, though i dont recommend it unless they got close to winning

i had a rule in the past where contest ships had to be specifically build for that contest but i got rid of it. if i remember correctly, redstone did reuse a contest ship at one point

[slow axle]

reuse but updated with better paint

[oak plaza]

Well I guess that's good...
Thanks...

[strange mango]

thats fine too, and if you reuse a ship for a future contest, its a good idea to upgrade it to fit in better with your current ships

[oak plaza]

I agree...

Right now I'm actually working on putting better paint on my last winning ships...

How's these...

This is Crusher and Kaine's Wrath upgraded...

Updated paint...

[strange mango]

they look really good, its amazing how fast you got better at painting, these didnt look bad before, but the paint had room for improvement, and this is alot of improvement

[oak plaza]

Awww stop buttering me up...
Hahahahaha...
I know my previous paint are lacking, it's even a fluke I won some...

But right now I'm more confident...
Thanks for the praise though...

[past bramble]

still alot more work to do

[strange mango]

i just have a soft spot for seeing other peoples art improve. and yes i consider cosmoteer ships as a form of art

[oak plaza]

It is...
And I actually love seeing beautiful ships...
Great works or art...

[slow axle]

we all do here

[vernal lance]

cosmo paint is kind of a form of art

honestly thats probably how i learned pixel art

[strange mango]

cosmoteer is a good way to learn pixel art

[vernal lance]

both are grid based both have colors and both have a canvas to screw around with

[oak plaza]

Let me just post here my ship's glow up...

[past bramble]

@vernal lance any critiques?

[vernal lance]

again because i am bad at critiquing, go look at something like rufescent

[past bramble]

so it still looks off

hmm

[slow axle]

personaly it's the absurd amount of small spikes i think

like at front on the back and the middle hole

they are too small and too numerous for imperium

[strange mango]

just a heads up, im visiting family later today, and as such wont be available for a while

[toxic ocean]

✨

[vernal lance]

rich image coming from someone who doesnt like to analyze built-ins

[toxic ocean]

Definitely.

Saris said that on my question.

[strange mango]

not just looking at build ins, try to see what went into making them, try to see why the way they are made works, look at what they dont do too, use parts of them as reference and make said part in your own way. all these things can help you improve

[vernal lance]

i have no idea how i was able to pump out decent quality ships

[oak plaza]

I would definitely watch a full on documentary on how each Faction Architect paint their ships and what's the process behind it and I would be sure to say that I may have learned something...

[strange mango]

while you are here, i just got 4 votes in quick succession, all voting for all of your ships, as well as your submission. this is pretty suspicious

im not making any assumptions, but i would like to know if you know of anything

[vernal lance]

classic ENCOURAGEMENT OF CLOSE PEOPLE

[oak plaza]

Well I did ask my girlfriend and friends...
Is that bad...?

[strange mango]

telling other people to vote is fine, as long as there is no bias towards any particular participant, which there clearly is

[oak plaza]

Well you could minus those points if you like...
If its a problem I understand...

[tired vapor]

i think the built in imperium ships have more consistent length red stripies

[strange mango]

im gonna reduct those votes yes, besides that im not doing anything

[oak plaza]

That's fine, but could you leave one...?
The one from my girl should be fine...?

[strange mango]

ive already removed them, sorry. if it lets her, she can vote again, just be a little more subtle about the bias

[oak plaza]

Okay...
Thanks dude...

Wouldn't happen again...

[past bramble]

less spiky

still keeping the illusion tho

[tired vapor]

this part looks wierd

[oak plaza]

No need to be sorry @strange mango, I was the one to ask about the contest to vote...

To give consideration, I did screen record the ships to show them all the submissions...

Like this one...

[vernal lance]

you skipped like 2 people

[oak plaza]

I said Like this one...
You don't have to worry about that...

I was cut short because messenger couldn't send bigger files...

[past bramble]

choppy lines or straight long line

[tired vapor]

ehhh both not good i think

[vernal lance]

ah yes messenger

[past bramble]

hmm back to experimenting

[vernal lance]

the harbour of every filipino's chatting dreams

[vernal lance]

rufescent

[tired vapor]

maybe try smth like this?

[past bramble]

tried curving around it abit

[oak plaza]

I prefer the choppy lines more...

[tired vapor]

in all the built ins the lines don't just appear

usually they come out of smth

[past bramble]

this is not good

[vernal lance]

make them straighter

[past bramble]

alot better

[vernal lance]

uhhh

you see the lines right

[past bramble]

oh yea i see

like this>

[vernal lance]

ye

i would make the inner section straighter

yknow the curvy one

[past bramble]

inner core?

[past bramble]

this outer white lines?

[vernal lance]

yeah that one

maybe make it straighter

[oak plaza]

You know, I honestly feel guilty about this situation...

I didn't mean no harm, but I really didn't think about it through when I asked people to vote...

I wanna say this as kind of an apology to what I did, its my bad and I really am sorry everyone...

Just had to say that before the anxiety kicks in...

I couldn't sleep if I ain't gonna tell it so bye...

Have a good day everyone and I hope those who won truly deserve it...

Good luck...

[past bramble]

i havent heard about kepher now that i think about it

[vernal lance]

alot better

top part has thin lines that i dont really like

im fine with the red part but not the greyer

[past bramble]

i assume this thin lines

[vernal lance]

maybe go with a style like this

[vernal lance]

yeah

[tired vapor]

or this

it's all very geometric and pointy

[vernal lance]

true

[tired vapor]

urs is very rotund and hairy

[past bramble]

yeah those were problems with early version of garuda when i asked saris about it

[tired vapor]

idk how to descirbe

[vernal lance]

i would make it slightly less curvy and make clump the thorny bits into like 2 floaty ish ones on each armor head

i dunno

anyway ill sleep

[tired vapor]

make the furry parts more consolidated

[past bramble]

i have no clue what u mean by furry

i will assume it means its too spiky

[tired vapor]

the 9999 tiny spikes sticking out

[stiff sandal]

Contest ending soon, very excited to see results

[stiff sandal]

Nice, but smth feels off about that very front section, at least how the red lines connect with the rest of the gray increments

[past bramble]

i un spicked the head

[stiff sandal]

Neat

[late zenith]

Kinda weird not seeing the spikiness but it fits much better into the imperium look without the spikes

[past bramble]

yea its no longer thorny

feels weird

[slow axle]

ah much better already

methink the front could use a little more red but the ship is already good enough imo

[toxic ocean]

Top cinco hottest messes (Escary alert) nomero uno: Powerdrill

@strange mango All my ships are now ready (I hope) and just barely ready for the deadline of the deadline. Where do I submit them so the updated versio ||[internet died in this moment and turned back on like 2-3 minutes later. No idea why I'm saying that]|| n gets added in the game instead of the even more logistically flawed old ones if they manage to win?

Oh oh oh oh oh I forgot THE LORE

Gotta get to typing I guess 🥹

I swear to the sun almighty how am I not completely burnt out yet

I'm barely holding.

These contests are a ton of fun but they also have a negative effect on me thanks to my atrocious time management skills.

[toxic ocean]

There is not a single word to describe the amount of awfulness this ship's logistics contain 🥹

[tired vapor]

i'm just not going to look at it

[toxic ocean]

Please don't.

[toxic ocean]

I am barely looking at it myself.

It is eye pain.

@vernal lance Have you at least made lore for a single ship?

Just askin'

So I can copy-paste it.

Def not enough time to finish all of them myself it's already past 1AM

[toxic ocean]

This one's so perfect.

[toxic ocean]

@strange mango (Oh whoops my bad second ping) How's the votes looking so far?

[vernal lance]

i love logistics spaghet

[toxic ocean]

Yeah.

[late zenith]

Luckily I haven't yet made a ship complicated enough to warrant logistics spaghetti, although the Varangian was close

Personally logistics get nastier when more than 3 types of weapons are involved and not one of them shares a ammo type and/or any one of those is a railgun

[toxic ocean]

FUCK I WOKE UP SO LATE

I STILL HAVE SO MUCH LORE TO WRITE

WHY AM I LIKE THIS

[vernal lance]

skill issue

[past bramble]

Oh 2+ hours before end

[toxic ocean]

And under an hour before I have to go to school.

Anyways I just realized CROWBAR HAS NO FUCKING HYPERDRIVES

sigh why does the hyperdrive rule even exist... Not like AI uses it, like ever...

[past bramble]

Had u seen how i implemented the hyperdrives in thornyard

Its such an annoying rule to have

[toxic ocean]

Yeah.

Crisis averted, thanks Crowbar for having a Crowbar.

AW DAMN IT'S OVERBUDGET NOW AND CLASHES WITH JACKHAMMER

[past bramble]

Rip

[toxic ocean]

Nevermind.

I still want it to be diff.9 though instead of 10.

[past bramble]

Sacrifice thrust

[toxic ocean]

You know what's even more annoying than the hyperdrive rule? The 35% efficiency rule.

THERE ARE LITERALLY SHIPS IN THE GAME WITH LESS EFFICIENCY!!

[vernal lance]

blake making the rules worse and worse

[past bramble]

Petition to remove this rule on the next contest

[slow axle]

i don't understands i nailed all my ship with 444credit more being the only issue

[vernal lance]

make next contest an anarchy contest

[slow axle]

blindfolded almost

[toxic ocean]

Okay crisis averted.

For real this time.

It doesn't go well with the paint and gives the reactor much less armor, but it was a last ditch effort anyways.

Crowbar didn't have any use in it ;-;

Okay @vernal lance please help me what kind of lore should I write for Welder?

I mean what kind of quote.

[vernal lance]

something about welding being not easy

and take your crew's name thats operating

[toxic ocean]

Nah, I no longer do that. Lore-wise, these are very old quotes still leftover from back when the Workshop was still a prospering faction.

About a crowbar, I have a really good one.

So basically, there's this Russian proverb that goes something like ''there's no compromises for a crowbar'' if I recall correctly.

Trying to adapt that in English.

[vernal lance]

eh it would still kind of be fitting

[toxic ocean]

Hmmmm

[toxic ocean]

Come up with something clumsy lol.

An elephant trying to balance on a needle? You know it'd be realistic for these guys to make an earth reference as this faction started its existence when Earth still existed.

[vernal lance]

"toddlers running around with hot sticks on roller skates"

[toxic ocean]

What.

Lol.

[vernal lance]

nonsensicality be like

i dunno "drunkards in a mirror maze"

[slow axle]

welp 2 hours left

1,30*

[strange mango]

there are currently a total of 32 people who voted

[toxic ocean]

Interesting.

That's not that much to be honest.

Just slightly more than the amount of participants I think..?

Yeah this month we had A LOT of participants.

[strange mango]

true

[slow axle]

huh that far less than the previous one iirc

why does i feel like the winner will be very close to the last

oh ig i could say "i was only 2 vote close from being first!"

[strange mango]

funny you say that, second place is actually 2 votes below first

[oak plaza]

Is this true...?

[strange mango]

yes

[oak plaza]

How much votes was the last contest then...?

[strange mango]

i think 42

[oak plaza]

Oh, so that's why what I did was a problem...
It would totally shift the balance...

I actually thought the new contest would have more votes than before...

Was it not announced in game...?

I remember there was a announcement here in the discord...

[strange mango]

it was not, i had planed on that, but due to the same reasons that in may take a while for the next official contest, walt said no

[oak plaza]

Aaawww, that's a bummer...

[slow axle]

||was impling the last place would be 2 votes bellow but thjat still funny||

[toxic ocean]

Hmm.

I hope I at least get fifth.

All I want.

[oak plaza]

What's the current time...?
Im living in Asia...

[toxic ocean]

It ends on 14:00 to me.

So in like, a bit over an hour.

[strange mango]

10:46 is my current time, votes close 12:00 my time

[slow axle]

we live in the same time zone so for me it's very easy to remeber 👌

[oak plaza]

So it ends here by 6PM...
Currently it's 4:47PM to me...

Will you straight up count the votes after the deadline or will we wait for tomorrow to get the results...

[strange mango]

i will count them immediately after they close, the results will be posted soon after that

[oak plaza]

Nice...
I could wait for that before sleeping...

[strange mango]

you dont have to, the results will still be there tomorrow, ive said this many times now but dont prioritize the contest over your health, this includes sleep

[oak plaza]

Nah Bro, it's still early evening on me...
And I generally sleep from 9 till 1...

So it's fine...

[strange mango]

aright if you say so

[toxic ocean]

WHY LORE CHARACTER LIMIT

This was a thorn in my side when I was making The Rotten Core.

In a twist of irony this ship was nowhere close to as painful to paint as The Rotten Core.

[oak plaza]

You didn't have to make essays about it Bro...
Hahahahahaha

[toxic ocean]

Lol.

I like immersive lores.

[oak plaza]

I have some long but not this long...

[toxic ocean]

Also this.

[oak plaza]

Damn...

[toxic ocean]

WHAT?!?!?!??!

ALL MY FUCKING PROGRESS

[strange mango]

since the tie vote results are pretty close, im making the executive desision of doing both. for the first category, all players that tie will get that spot. while in the second category, there will be a tie breaker. otherwise there will just be too many winners, defeating the purpose of the contest

[toxic ocean]

What the actual fuck?!

[slow axle]

one hour left

[toxic ocean]

DAMN WHY DOES THIS GAME HATE ME

[strange mango]

lost ships?

[slow axle]

fair enough

[toxic ocean]

Autosave.

😔

I hope it is still alive as I am very tight on time.

Literally I should be away by now.

[strange mango]

you know there is no time limit on the edit thread?

[toxic ocean]

ALmost no progress lost at all thanks autosaves :D

[strange mango]

phew

[toxic ocean]

Oh my god I just realized Anvil has no hyperdrives as well ewsao;ght;oeuhgrfipoycv0876DGF2w08fgqe8w0dfrgW806YFGE086AYGFE870HGWRE79GHR798EW

[oak plaza]

Don't tell me your PC got full again...

[strange mango]

i didnt notice, so ill let you get away with that

[toxic ocean]

Crisis avverted the second?

[oak plaza]

You better be sure my Dude...

[toxic ocean]

Nope far too expensive.

Okay if Blake allows it I shall resign my efforts 😔

[oak plaza]

:Agony:

[strange mango]

i meant ill let you fix it after the fact. since i should have pointed it out much earlier

[toxic ocean]

Ahh...

Overwriting time.

Okay they're done (Didn't do powerdrill lroe in time)

Where do I submit them so in case of them winning they get added instead.

[strange mango]

if they win, you can submit them here: https://discord.com/channels/314103695568666625/1081651425999863949

[toxic ocean]

Okay.

But should I DM you so you change them up in place of the old ones?

[strange mango]

that also works

[toxic ocean]

Nah I'm too low on time here ya go BYEE-

[mortal cave]

WHAT

Yes it does!

[past bramble]

Nick u mighy have to rename stuff

[mortal cave]

Oh he has an Anvil

[slow axle]

i think they speak of their anvil

[strange mango]

oh dear, name overlap

[slow axle]

iirc it's scrapped anvil so it's fine

[slow axle]

ooo that a pretty boi

[oak plaza]

No it's not, Nick's ship is Shattered Anvil...

So it's cool...

[past bramble]

That looks like a monolith version of that old classic

[slow axle]

huh?! new monolith meta?

gash i check build-in so rarely

[past bramble]

The old classic is a fringe and monolith now

[mortal cave]

It was originally supposed to be the updated Baelor Reaper but the model was so cool as it was so I doubled down instead of cutting back. It's a relatively old ship, which is why it would be so shocking if it had no hyperdrives

[oak plaza]

Do you still have the old ship so we could see the reference...

[slow axle]

30minute

[oak plaza]

Ohhh, Nice...

[lapis niche]

I mean, I'm a personality that isn't able to fall asleep because they're so anxious (the eager variety) for the results lol

It's nearly 3am over here

(Rn I only happen to be awake because I was playing minecraft with my sister)

[strange mango]

i understand, but i really dont want to any participant to sacrifice their health for a silly contest, so i keep saying it

[lapis niche]

Fair enough 👍

[strange mango]

10 minutes to go

[slow axle]

0 minute to go

[oak plaza]

LETS GO...

Im impressed to see that there is only a handful of standalone ships...

[slow axle]

so i am 4th?

pain to understands the result

@strange mango that the wrong kaine i think

you prob confused with kine somewhere it does not fit

or i am reading it wrong?

[strange mango]

are you sure? kine got less votes than kaine? unless my dyslexia is having a field day

[past bramble]

No bloody way i got more votes then kaine

My set is an incoherent mess

[slow axle]

im not sure

maybe it's me who confuse name

[past bramble]

The voting list has kaine as the first one on the list

Since he originlly submitted first

Rip non of my ships made it in

[slow axle]

so if i understood i'm 4th and my ship are not gonna make it in expect maybe Sweet blizzard if i'm lucky

gash competition was rude
but 4th out of 17 is still very good performance :>

[oak plaza]

Pretty sure people could see Kine and Kaine...

[past bramble]

I think snow is confused why are you first in the list even though your ships is not at the most top in submissions

[slow axle]

no i think i understood everything

[strange mango]

all who got pinged got to pass the architects check, of which im just as informed about as the rest of you

[slow axle]

ah yes that too

[past bramble]

Uh which one is yugi's forsaken

@strange mango the tie vote is wrong its forstation not forsaken

[slow axle]

so i voted the wrong ship

[strange mango]

oh, my excuses though i dont think there is a forsaken so it should be clear enough

[past bramble]

u should atleast put a disclaimer in #tournament-announcements

[strange mango]

fair enough, done

[stiff sandal]

WHAT

WE WON??

[tribal heath]

Rng moment

[stiff sandal]

@oak plaza you got top 3, awesome work! Well deserved 👏

[oak plaza]

Thanks Bro...

[past bramble]

corpo and fusion get roles

[stiff sandal]

Yep

Just gotta wait a bit

[strange mango]

that you did

congrads

[stiff sandal]

Thanks!

[stiff sandal]

Actually I am quite curious about this, will we get told if our ships get thrown into the career list of potential enemies? Or is it just a wait- n' see

[strange mango]

in all honesty, im not sure about the details, but if i had to guess i would assume that you will be told about whether or not you got aproved, and if not you could probably edit the ships for another shot. again im just guessing here

i will say theres a good chance it will take a while, last contests winners still dont know i think

[stiff sandal]

Understood

[oak plaza]

You need to make sure the Architects approve of them all...
They are hard critics let me tell you, hahaha

[stiff sandal]

I know

The standards are high

[oak plaza]

We got this bro...

[oak plaza]

Blake, now that I had won this time, dont forget about what I wanna ask on Walt please...

[strange mango]

i got you, no worrys

[past bramble]

what are you going to ask about?

[late zenith]

Glad everyone propelled Solar Flare into winning

[oak plaza]

Well Deserved dude, your ship go first place...

[late zenith]

Such a cool ship

[oak plaza]

Its a secret...
hahahaha
But if it happens Ill explain...

[late zenith]

I honestly can't read the images sent in tournaments for the life of me to tell where I placed

but congrats to the winners

[toxic ocean]

I am sorry for confusion Saris I was in a rush didn't type out "The Shattered Anvil."

I am literally afraid to read the chat and the DC results lol.

Congratulations to winners in advance :)

[stiff sandal]

Yeah, Hawaiians solar Flare is a pretty good ship

[toxic ocean]

My phone is about to die.

2% battery.

[vernal lance]

huh

we got first

by one singular vote

holy fuck

[toxic ocean]

See corpo. All that whining about "gonna get into a tie and lose" "we're never gonna win" and that crap was for nothing.

I always believed you'd win.

👍

[JK I had slight bit more confidence in Immortal winning but I was sure you'd at least get second]

Aight gonna check results now-

[vernal lance]

nick: deceptively lieful

[strange mango]

you where in first place the whole time, like, for a while you had 100% of the votes

[vernal lance]

we get the funny roles now

[strange mango]

yes

[vernal lance]

lmfao

[strange mango]

ive already asked walt

[toxic ocean]

Wait thw first category was a top 3? Thought we had to vote for our 5 favorite ships!

Hmm

[past bramble]

now wait for walts vote

[strange mango]

you had more votes, but the winning places stayed the same

[toxic ocean]

Anyways, I didn't get the full category but screw that I'm glad my favourite ship won.

[vernal lance]

where did that message go

[strange mango]

congrads, it was well deserved

[toxic ocean]

Thanks.

I am disappointed about only a singe thing. Despite less people voting in this one, the disproportion between my new ships and January subs is insane

Despite new ones being leagues better

;-;

AnywaysI have 1% remaining vattery Byeeee

*Battery

[vernal lance]

charge

[toxic ocean]

I hate mobile.

[slow axle]

solar Flare deserved to make it in

[vernal lance]

there it is
i guess it was true

[past bramble]

I find some of the ships from your submission this time a bit lackluster imo
crowbar and jackammer mainly

[strange mango]

im also glad some new participants got in

[stiff sandal]

The clout is now ours

Glad our partnership worked this well

[vernal lance]

we will have ultimate bragging rights

[stiff sandal]

Indeed

[vernal lance]

what ship of ours got the most votes again

[stiff sandal]

^

[vernal lance]

the statistics arent very clear

[strange mango]

jigsaw and stagger

[strange mango]

yea, google forms skips half the names for some reason

[vernal lance]

i wonder what sawtooth's vote amount is

[strange mango]

3. though you got the most votes in the full submission

[vernal lance]

why the fuck is this my favorite when only 3 other people like it too

w h y

[stiff sandal]

Stagger? Not surprised by that one

[strange mango]

i think im gonna find another platform for the votes, since google forms doesnt like too many options

[vernal lance]

true

[stiff sandal]

Yeah, you did a splendid job

[strange mango]

to be fair, consider the 24 votes your submission got in the first category

[stiff sandal]

I'm surprised jigsaw was the favourite.

[past bramble]

i remember saris saying one of your ship would maybe qualify as built in

[vernal lance]

i'd say stagger and jigsaw carried 10 fold

[vernal lance]

stagger

[past bramble]

hopefully we get to see it in game soon

[stiff sandal]

In regards to nick, his anvil was a solid ship indeed

Happy it won

[strange mango]

im not confident about soon. though i can say im expecting stagger to pass the architects

[tribal heath]

🤔 < currently me lmao

[strange mango]

i have no clue how long it will take for the architects to look at the previous contests winners, let-alone this one

[vernal lance]

im surprised i passed you by one vote

we

[tribal heath]

Rng victory and lose tbh

[stiff sandal]

Your ships were insanely good

[strange mango]

^

[vernal lance]

just cabal quality

[stiff sandal]

Mirah was definitely putting in work for ya

[vernal lance]

literally a better version of rial

[past bramble]

i like singing blade alot

[vernal lance]

its unique

[tribal heath]

I'm even thinking of veto on addition of my ships into the game, since addition fact itself doesn't really matters for me.

[strange mango]

you dont want your ships in game?

[vernal lance]

every person that participates really is just going for the role huh

[past bramble]

would this be the first time someone withdraw if he goes through with it?

[strange mango]

i think so

[tribal heath]

If not current political situation, I could work as an architect (already passed the check in DM with Walt ~1 month ago). Bit a sad about it. Nothing difficult to me to build ships on built-ins level.

[vernal lance]

check as in pay?

[strange mango]

i see, so do you want to give up your spot? that would complicate things because i already send the ships to walt

[tribal heath]

Check as level of building.

[oak plaza]

Wait, does winning in the top 3 makes us the same as Architects that get paid...?

Im confused...

[strange mango]

no no, immortal is saying they are likely becoming an architect

[oak plaza]

Ohhh, he's already a architect you mean...?

[vernal lance]

likely

please do reading

it is appreciated

[tribal heath]

No, hiring didn't happened, because something legal was the issue

[strange mango]

oh i see

[vernal lance]

what was the legal issue

[strange mango]

well, whenever you make up your mind, feel free to ping me whether or not you withdraw from the competition and ill see what i can do about it

[tribal heath]

Idk, Walt didn't go into details.

[gloomy whale]

That will be pain......Comparing to that being 5/6th sounds fine to me now.

@stiff sandalCongratulates!
Though I kind of thought that would happen lol.

[strange mango]

if you guys keep this up, the tie breaker will have a tie

[strange mango]

you too, your ships looked great

[gloomy whale]

Thanka! It is mad that I missed the vote due to my goagle issue (can't sign in using my VPN), but still the contest is interesting. And I am proud of what I and my CCC friends achieved.

[strange mango]

happy to have had the CCC join, they are all welcome to return whenever the next contest may be

[slow axle]

lets gooo

[gloomy whale]

Ok also things I feel odd about: I have no doubt for Solar Flare winning the best ship, and I like Shattered Anivil, but how in the world did Forstation rolled into top 3?? Among all my submissions I almost hate that ship the most.

[strange mango]

i dont know, i do know that i liked it most out of your submission. art is in the eye of the beholder i suppose. though i can relate, there where a few times i didnt like my art as much but others still loved it

[slow axle]

same

[tribal heath]

Author's curse. Secret of success - the desire to surprise yourself, imo.

[gloomy whale]

I am sure we will. Thank you for your help during the contest, it is probably not saving any worry to help some none discord players to join in, so we are really appreciate to how you guys were willing to help.

[gloomy whale]

Well, I think you are right. Maybe that is one of the mysteries which makes art even more interesting.

[strange mango]

that, and the fact that as the artist, you saw the whole process of the creation of the artwork, whereas others only see the end result most of the time, and as such, the artist may just see the struggle that was the prosess or any mistakes they made, instead of the standalone finished product

[gloomy whale]

Indeed.

[strange mango]

anyway, ill be less active here now, ill announce a walts pick and the tie breaker results at one point but after that ill stop keeping up with the contest chats till the next one. but if you need me for any contest related questions, feel free to ping me

[gloomy whale]

Thank you, I will ping you for sure if there is such need.

[oak plaza]

Is Saris online...?

[vernal lance]

@mortal cave this man needs urgent help regarding you

[oak plaza]

BRO DON'T DO THAT...

I wasn't even pinging them...
Sheesssh...

[oak plaza]

https://tenor.com/view/the-batman-what-have-you-done-gif-25280767

[strange mango]

yea dont do that

[vernal lance]

i have done pinging saris

why am i doing this

[oak plaza]

Well might as well say it...
I was going to ask Saris if there is some in my paint that won that they didn't like...

So that I could start right away fixing them...

I actually wish we had like a defense where the ship author will present their ship like a thesis and the architects will be the judge of the presentation...

Hahahahahaha

[stiff sandal]

For faction based themes, your most likely gonna try to match certain fringe themes

Although, as to what you could try to replicate is still a mystery

[oak plaza]

If its possible, I would love to keep the colors and design as possible...
But if no, I think I can steal one of the Fringes' color scheme...

The paint scheme, not so much...

[stiff sandal]

It's Unfortunate that none of the in game ships match yours

The difference is very much evidence

But there is one that could potentially work

But I don't recall, il check tonight

[oak plaza]

Yup, I understand that but hey...
I still will try and push what I have...
If that doesn't work out then putting another color could work I guess...

[stiff sandal]

Good luck

[oak plaza]

Honestly I was just thinking of taking the color scheme of All For Now or the Scrapknight ...

[stiff sandal]

Could work

[toxic ocean]

Crowbar got zero votes in the second category

[desert trail]

i think you read it the other way around, with it geting 0 votes in first catigory, but im not sure

[toxic ocean]

In the second.

First category is every ship at once.

Second is one ship at a time.

Anyways I guess I'll have to add hyperdrives to my Anvil.

Yes Saris, OUR Anvil.

[oak plaza]

Could I ask how much individual votes did my Kiana's Organ get...?

[past bramble]

i wonder when will we get news for the jan contest stuff

[oak plaza]

I don't know myself...

[toxic ocean]

Check #tournament-announcements

Also, please don't take this as offense Kaine, but I don't think you deserved third place. I'd have to say Avo and Yugi deserved it a bit more. Not to say your ships aren't great though, they are more like 4th/5th place to me and not 3rd.

[strange mango]

9

[oak plaza]

Mine was cut so I could not see it all...

[oak plaza]

Thanks...

[oak plaza]

I understand that...
It was just lucky like what happened last time...

[strange mango]

please dont say things like this, it can be extremely discouraging.

[oak plaza]

I still couldn't understand why Snow kept on upvoting things that seems bad to me...

They couldn't even understand that I won and not them...

Yes, this sounds rude but they couldn't even read it because they blocked me...

Hahahahahaha, still bitter from the Di-Rockets...

[oak plaza]

I'm used to it...
Its not letting me down at the slightest...

[strange mango]

thats good (that you dont let it get you down, not that your used to it), but still, dont just tell someone they didnt deserve to win, its just plain rude. please keep it friendly here

[oak plaza]

Understood...
And its Nick, its not like I don't understand them...

Hahahahahaha...
That bastard is one hard nut to crack...

Hahahahaha

[oak plaza]

Btw when will Walt pick his favourite...

[strange mango]

not yet

i dont know when, when he has time for it i suppose

[oak plaza]

Okay, we shall see the end of it after the tie breaker and Walt's pick...

[toxic ocean]

It is just my personal opinion and needs to be taken as a grain of salt, but I already said they are good, it's just there were better.

[toxic ocean]

Xsnow blocked you too?

Hilarious.

[oak plaza]

You Too...?
Hahahahahaha...
Xsnow blocked me because of the Di-Rockets...

[toxic ocean]

The whats?

[toxic ocean]

What is a dirocket.

[stiff sandal]

Just say congrats and say your proud, keeps ya in the best possible light

Good that powerdrill got a winning spot too

[oak plaza]

Says the one that I don't know...
Told me my paint was shit...

Hahahahahaha
JK...

[stiff sandal]

It's upgrade that was shown was impressive

[toxic ocean]

I still don't get it.

Yayy...

I really just changed the scheme.

And did a lot of fixes as the paint had many flaws.

It was still a very good template though.

[stiff sandal]

don't sound depressed lol

[toxic ocean]

Who said your paint was shit...

I never said that, I explicitly stated how much you improved over the original.

[oak plaza]

I remember...

[toxic ocean]

Funny

[past bramble]

well he is right about me lol

[toxic ocean]

Design Contest Wars episode 2 Kaine strikes back.

[stiff sandal]

I take back what I said lol

I'm so in trouble

[oak plaza]

Hahahahaha...
Say your prayers now boy...

JK...

Just say sorry to Kine...

[stiff sandal]

Me being too cocky and I would do almost anything to win, even demoralize...

[toxic ocean]

Yeah he deserves it.

[toxic ocean]

Kaine deserves it I mean.

His ships were gold.

*Kine

[past bramble]

yes

[toxic ocean]

Not kaine.

[stiff sandal]

ouch

[stiff sandal]

Forgive me for underestimating your considerable talents

[oak plaza]

I was going to say, stop buttering me up but yea...
Kine's ships are great as well...

I voted for Harvester to get it...

[toxic ocean]

Man why is this chat such an awkward mess sometimes 😔

[stiff sandal]

I don't know lol

[oak plaza]

It's all good, we are all friends...
Except Xsnow...
Hahahahahaha

[stiff sandal]

Just is

[toxic ocean]

XD

[stiff sandal]

I'm sure il get around to painting that cargo ship of yours... eventually...

[toxic ocean]

Man somebody please elaborate what the heck di-rocket is, I still don't get it.

[oak plaza]

Im not even using it anymore...
Hahahahahaha
But feel free...

[oak plaza]

If you look at the thread I sent you...

[toxic ocean]

Ah I think I get it now. Dicc but it was replaced by rocket.

[toxic ocean]

Yes yes I saw the threat but I was still confused.

[oak plaza]

That's basically it...

[toxic ocean]

Hilarious.

Imagine blocking somebody for such a harmless joke.

Plus an old running gag in the community.

You have to be on whole another level of petty.

Cring.

[past bramble]

I got too complacent with how i did in the jan and didnt put that much effort into this one

[oak plaza]

Well they did...
Without me even trying to apologise...

But that's in the past...
Now, Snow is being sussy about me winning...

[toxic ocean]

Lol.

[past bramble]

i didnt win so you were right about that

[stiff sandal]

We should do a fleet battle with our design ships sometime

When that's gonna be, idfk

[oak plaza]

It's sussy not sissy, that's a different term...
Fuckin autocorrect...

WRONG REPLY...

[past bramble]

why reply me

lol

i might have to rework kheper again to bring it up to par

[oak plaza]

As I was saying, don't feel bad that you didn't put too much effort on it...
You were busy on other projects so you got your time and attention cut in half...

And with us sending ships to infect, it would just be natural...

[past bramble]

blake is gonna do a not so official event next

might be a good time to bring out some new parasites for that

[oak plaza]

Bro couldn't accept I won over them that they had to say it was a mistake...

[past bramble]

no the list is weird

its not following the submission order

[oak plaza]

Yup I know, Hahahahaha...
It was just hilarious to think it was...

[oak plaza]

Was the last contest voting like that...?
I think it wasn't right...

[past bramble]

it usually follow submission order

[oak plaza]

And it's not like the submissions order can influence your voting, you can see the names and ships clearly...

[past bramble]

you resubmitted at some point and that changed it so the list isnt exactly on point

lmao xsnow

[oak plaza]

Yup, there was some slight touch ups...
But if that was the case mine should be in the middlish...

[toxic ocean]

Hmm.

[stiff sandal]

The dev and mod team has seemingly disappeared

Can't hear Saris opinion on ships

[strange mango]

it originally was, but resubmissions happened and google forms doesnt have a convenient way to reorganize the order of the options that i could find

[toxic ocean]

You're lackluster >:(

[desert trail]

youe'r

[past bramble]

not gonna deny it

[bronze citrus]

Huh cool, the powerdrill got fourth

Didnt think the paint was that great. Nice

[bronze citrus]

The crowbar was fine, it just suffers from middle child syndrome

[toxic ocean]

You carried it to the fourth place lol.

[past bramble]

power drill and anvil is top tier

and i really like the small ships like spotlight and welder

but those 2 crowbar and jackhammer swayed my votes to others

[toxic ocean]

Why thought..?

Why do you dislike them.

[stiff sandal]

I'm willing to take bets that the red bar for crowbar was his no - no. As for jackhammer, I have 0 idea
