that one person in the replies is so funny, calling the advice "condescending" as if it wasn't meant to give more artists the knowledge they need to increase their chances of winning the contest

yeah lol. I almost wanted to point out that small artist =/= bad artist. Sorry but if your art sucks then I don't want it on a festival skin/accent because staff is supposed to play the role of an encouraging parent. Especially when those are usually the only skins and accents available to poorer players.

Wasn't there an anon here on a dom thread that said another anon's advice (which is a really good writeup btw) on dom "condescending" too? I wonder if they're the same person. If not, I really hope that's not a rising trend of any well-meaning advice being called condescending because god, the entitlement in that kind of reply... Do they think the people consistently winning contests make it there without failing at least a few times? They even stated right in their post that they lost at 4 times before getting their first contest win.

Literally not the same person. Because I viewed that dom advice as condescending because I was involved with dom and know what other flights do and don't, hence I can evaluate when "dom advice" is condescending, but I have literally no idea what is that accent drama.

NAYRT I have been involved in dom in different flights and they definitely don't do all of the things on that list. To this day I'm baffled by the flight that expected attendants to pay for PBs with their own funds... I hope they've changed that!! There are also a couple flights that could stand to take the "buy yourself first place" advice to boost morale in their flight. If Arcane stopped profit pushing every month and did more PBs it'd really turn things around for them.
