After looking at everything- LOVE the familiar, gene is eh, and was it really necessary to choose two Aether F skins :S

I think I'd rather have the gene for Aethers. I know it was mentioned that only two breeds will get the gene each month, but it looks so simple idk why it couldn't be made available for all ancients.

Yeah, I don't love that Aethers got more skins than either light breed.

yea the gene feels really meh to me. like it just feels really simple i guess (not necessarily a bad thing but i feel like it wouldve been more interesting if they'd added an extra fin or some whiskers or smn)

da IIRC it does add some kind of whiskers like lightweaver has

I don't have either of the breeds that the new gene is for and I don't really plan on having them later on... but still bought them for, idk, future security in knowing I at least have them, I guess.

the familiar I love. also very excited for the familiar theme this year in general (confirmed by undel to be snakes and flowers)

omg, it's all snakes this year? massive win for me, i'm now pumped for holidays.

+1
Everything is pretty meh to me but the familiar... I need her

i love the snake so much,,,, i can't wait to see all the others!!

super let-down, don't like anything really. bummer because its my flight

love love love the apparel and the familiar is super cute!!

i like everything LOL. people are saying the genes look a little copy/pasted and i don't disagree, but it also doesn't make me enjoy it any less. staff can have a little copy/paste as a treat.

also tbh i'm stoked for @\888 still winning the skin contest. serial winners win for a reason! simply put, he consistently delivers what staff is looking for. his previous @\brightmyth account may have gotten nixed for multiaccounting activity, but he "took his lumps" so to speak, and i'm really glad he didn't leave the community because of it. it's VERY refreshing to see someone admit to a mistake with grace, and then continue to act as a positive force in the community afterward.

not speaking as a personal acquaintance or anything, just my parasocial opinion of a Big Name FR Player.

Right??? I'm glad to see it too.

anyone else a little disappointed that MV didn't win this time? thought that the expanded skin slots meant the staff would have room to fit old favorites as well as newcomers in. i was kinda hoping they'd pull off a full 11 fests

they do have old favourites; 888, YECHEN, WildGazebo, and Saerino are there! i think it's a good thing they tried to choose new people for most of them, and i hope that it continues and we see more of those old favourite cycle out in favour for returning favourites (like nilah, who only occasionally enters) and new folk.

I just checked and Saerino has 30??? festival skins holy fuck this artist's goated

https://www1.flightrising.com/game-database/items/skins?page=1&name=&description=Saerino&itemid=&display_type=&skin_category=&skin_type=admin&skin_by=&breed=&sex=&color=&hoard_vault=&sort=id_desc&submit=Apply

holy shit. this is just proving to me that none of the people bitching about mv winning fest actually give a shit about artists winning too often or fairness lmao. it's gotta be 3-4 people who have a hateboner if other artists are out here winning 30 fests and no one's said a peep

30 times since 2015 out of the 88 fests in that timespan isn't that crazy (~34% win rate), but 14 wins in 16 months is (~88% win rate).

How many contests has Saerino entered vs MV? It looks like MV entered two full festival cycles, or 22 contests. I don't remember Saerino being a regular contestant, but the fact they're a 2015 players makes sense why they have so many wins.

We should probably be calculating this based on (number of wins)/(number of contests entered). I'm actually pretty interested to see what that looks like

MV: 14 wins in 22 submissions (64% win rate) across 22 festivals

Saerino: 30 wins in 39 submissions (78% winrate) across 79 festivals (started October the first year they started entering)

MV is more consistently entering and winning in a shorter period of time than Saerino, Saerino has won 14% more of the time than MV but entered FAR, FAR less in a longer period of time.

You NERDS, doing MATH.

(I'm mildly impressed though, bc percentages are an evil I can't process. Also amused that an anon comm is doing math about pixel dragons and pixel dragon accessories.)

Da

I'd say 80% of my FR experience is math tbh

damn I wish I were you

SA

in all honesty, I like math, and I kinda have to for the skills I utilize, BUT percentages aren't too hard!

when I was younger, I learned to put it into the context of "x times out of y", then divide x by y.

so for example, "9 times out of 10" becomes 9 ÷ 10 which is .90 or 90% of the time.
