An important update:

Due to a specific person being a complete child, comments are going to be screened by default.

This is only temporary, and I apologize for the inconvenience- this is going to be a pain in the ass for me, too, but multiple people have come forward about fears of doxxing, and this is the only way to make sure any doxxing is contained.

(This basically will force the doxxer to make a DW account to post any doxxing attempts unscreened, and will let me more reliably report them to DW staff/authorities.)

Again, I apologize, and will be working to unscreen comments as fast as possible, but I'm only one person.

(Vasemod has had some personal issues come up, so I am the only mod atm. Please bear with me until this bit of annoyance has passed.)

Considering the complaints last fest that some skins weren't good enough, staff just can't win, can they?

they can't. practically everything that's ever needed to be said has already been said over the last... year? and now it's beating a dead horse.

i'm not a fan of how staff picks either and complained here before, but even i know when to shut up and do something about it. i sent in a message through 'contact us' and then a few months later they added more slots and i've started to see more unique winners start popping up. i don't think i'm the catalyst of change or anything, but they're clearly doing something; it's just never enough or too much to everyone else and compromise is never allowed.

I haven't had time to look due real life. Anything getting the same treatment those did last month? Or did staff go back to the old pattern?

people seem happy with the selection this year. i haven't seen any complaints at least, it looks like staff picked a mix of 'typical' anesthetics and some 'uma' ones like the pearlcatcher and the wildclaw.

Based on how people reacted last month, I feel like it’s best if staff doesn’t consider how new entrants are when picking winners in the current system. Losing is demoralizing, but I’m sure having people talk badly about something you worked hard on is even more demoralizing.
