Not really wank, but, eh.
Anyone else noticing a trend of folks ignoring GASP rules and using it for interest checks?
I'm getting irritated with it :/

Almost every regular commenter on SMR is so annoying. Captain-chompers, adxmanial, and shinmegamitensei2 always have the most smooth-brained takes worded so condescendingly it'd be humorous if it were satirical and not so sincere. And some of them will comment on nearly every post too, like don't you guys have jobs or something?
Yall know who those people are on flight rising so I can block em? I know adxmanial is ado.
Captain-chompers is Dakkokki, unsure of who the other one is though.
DA
Dakkokki is familiar and I seem to have them blocked years ago, so I guess the theme of 'smooth brain takes' is actually true

Fuck I forgot I had to do something before rollover because I went to a party. Anyone else relate?
Damn, I've heard people talking shit on ado but I haven't seen anything weird from them personally. Deets?
All I've seen is that they talk shit on SMR, but folks often copy their accents- some folks have said they're an asshole in how they handle/respond to it, but I would, too, if folks were ripping off my shit.
Me, personally, I've commissioned art from them and they were super nice and a pleasure to work with, so idk.

anyone got solid guidelines on what you can get away with on tinting lineart/shadows? i had a friend with super cool skin/accent in trickmurk that didnt make it to winning circle and im pretty sure it's because it was rulebreaking on that front but i don't have evidence to show my friend
(yes yes could be other reasons too but there was big interest so he's gonna print it and I dont want him being hit with rejection right out the skin queue you know?)

Staff doesn't consider lines and shadows for fest entries as long as you've made an effort. Proof here.

Your friend will be shit out of luck if they're submitting to queue though since staff doesnt edit that for you.

that's interesting I had no idea! Thank you for digging this up! that said even that example is... a lot more dark on lines/shadows to start than his
I'll make sure he edits before setting up anything

No problem. Could you point out which entry is his in the submission thread so we can see what we're working with here?

I appreciate the help but I'm not comfortable doing that on his behalf, thank you for offering though!

I’m convinced they’re a troll at this point simply because because no one would still be playing a game where 90% of the site features simply don’t work, as they claim to be experiencing. Between that and their very selective reading ability I think they’re just trying to get as big a rise out of the userbase as possible at this point.
I'm actually okay with this. Arlo isn't really more annoying than any other Trading Post activity. It just seems worse because it's new.
Being rejected for lines/shadows isn't that bad, either -- both skin mods are highly communicative. You'll lose a week which is annoying but it's definitely not a big deal, happens to even really good/experienced skin artists
mm yeah art theft is infuriating i'd give people a pass for that lol
I 100% agree - irl stuff is more important or satisfying than virtual dragon shinies. I'm going to 'miss out' on a lot of Trickmurk grinding time because I'm going on a big vacation this week, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
That said, it's often possible to have most of your cake and eat it too - plan to do FR stuff earlier in the day because you'll be having too much fun later to want to worry about it. So sympathies for ayrt for not having done that this time.

I am just really miffed about the whole situation since the admins have said ZERO about the above issue, with a suggestion thread going 23 pages long.
Just say either "yeah we are looking into it" or "suck it up it stays like that". Having at least some confirmation would be enough. The radio silence on this issue is just very annoying.

just realized that the level cap on arlo is currently 2. that's kind of lame. :/
You can only level to 2 or you can't level past completing 2? I'm almost at the former benchmark but not quite.
Eh, though. I wasn't around for Baldwin's inception, so I don't know how much of a ceiling there was originally on leveling, but that's also kind of different in that individual items can be sporadically released at any level, where new Arlo digsites are going to need to be an entire set of things (maybe not always 16, but I doubt there'll be fewer than 10). So if they make it possible to zoom up to super-high levels, there will be complaints that there's nothing to do at those levels.
Presumably minimal Arlo-ing as new digsites are released (especially under the current RNG paradigm) to obtain all the new stuff will be sufficient to level up to new cap raises at that time; seems like only people who join after it's been established a couple years or so who will have to hustle to catch up and get newer things.
Of course, I could be wrong and there'll eventually be new digsites released at the same time the level needed to reach them is uncapped for, so everyone will need to re-grind previous digsites to get enough XP for it ASAP (and we'll regret not saving our mustered tools), but I don't think that's ever been a thing for Baldwin or gathering and I doubt we'll see it here.

you get to two and the bar says MAX instead of letting you progress further. i don't mind it being a low cap give, as you said, new content will always need to be kind of chunky, but i guess i was expecting to be able to get more than one level rofl.

Gotcha, and fair. But I actually just checked dev tracker after I made the previous comment and the most recent post by Undel (I can't archive at the moment but will link later) confirms that the cap will raise with the next (Lv 2 required) release, if that's any comfort.

that is good! leveling useless stuff like this gives me that good dopamine hit so it's one of my favorite parts of the site.
