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.)

I can't BELIEVE staff had double the submissions to choose from this fest, compared to the other fests this year, and still. There they are again.

The two new skin slots were not enough.

they made a lot of bad skin choices this year imo. what even is Snail You Later? how is that earth themed

Re: Rockbreaker's

Ammonite themed, but ammonites aren't even snails, they're cephalopods, literally WATER THEMED. Tho, they are ancient, so I guess that's something, but they aren't extinct. Imo, the Cambrian era critter one should've won over that.

Minor nitpick, ammonites are extinct, its nautilus that aren't. They look similar but they're not even all that closely related! Nautalis are kind of their own weird group, meanwhile ammonites are more closely related to other extant cephalopods (squids/octopus/cuttlefish)

Ammonite shells are one of the go-to ways to depict fossils, and fossils are a pretty common motif in earth so its still fitting imo. I mean, the earth exalt pillar even has ammonite impressions.

Wow I’m dumb and got them mixed up 😬 big brain moment. Still say the Cambrian one should’ve won tho

To be fair, many many of the submissions were NOT on theme. Even 888 has had to disqualify more than a few entries for *their* contest because folks just slapped some color on a canvas and slapped an earth-themed name on it and called it a day just because the 500g was on the table and their brains turned off from thinking about what the festival contest actually means.

888's entry at least pulls from the site's lore, many entries did not at all... Maybe half of them actually did. That was kinda their whole thing about encouraging new folks to join the contest, be on theme. The fact their "rushed" "flat" entry won on pretty much that alone kinda illustrates that point.

idk. It's not something that I'll be using ever, but I don't see why it shouldn't have won just because it has their name attached.
