Okay, all companion requests made thus far should be filled, except these:
I'm not sure where these sprites come from, but I'm hoping for a sableye doing it's best zombie impression (IE similar to this pose). But if that's not the one you have on hand, that's fine, any sableye will do (because I have no idea how to make/edit custom sprites). <3
Could I get a land Shaymin in a sun hat?
If you'd like a custom sprite, you'll need to provide it as a 68x56 pixel PNG; I am not a sprite artist. Otherwise, your options are any of the icons that show in the party menu in SwSh--Seren, since you said a normal sableye was fine, that's what I gave you. Blackjack and Bench, I can give you the basic (non-accessorized) forms of the pokémon you requested, you can give me your own custom sprite fitting those specifications, or you can pick something else.I'd like to request an Oshawott wearing a reunion cape, if that's ok.
You qualify for a companion for completing the bingo event, if you'd like to claim one!I did two reviews and a terrible misinterpretation of a bingo prompt. Can I get a really half-assed companion? Like, "sweet bro and hella jeff" levels of terribad?
Jk jk, I know I didn't earn one. Congrats, y'all!
Hello!! I had a great time with this event!! May I please humbly request a Gothitelle as a new companion?
As for feedback, I really enjoyed both the review blitz and bingo. However, if we do a bingo again, I might suggest maybe a small committee focused on coming up with prompts and giving them out to people. I know people were allowed to suggest prompts and whatnot, but as for constructing the full card, that seemed to fall all on you, Negrek! 🥺 There was a high demand for cards too, so some people didn’t get theirs until much later into the event. I just feel like multiple people putting together the bingo cards would A.) Lessen your workload, and B.) Allow them to go out faster when a lot of people are requesting them.
Yes, if the bingo event returns next year, I'll look for some volunteers to help me generate prompts!Hello! I would like an Umbreon sprite! Just a regular one.
This event was TONS of fun!! I’m not sure that I have much feedback, though I do second Sin’s suggestion to delegate the bingo prompts to someone else—this was a LOT of work on your shoulders, and I think there are people who would be more than happy to help with that in the future!
Yeah, the question of how long to run things is tricky! I think I really wouldn't want to go above three weeks, to be honest... people get worn out by constant events pretty fast, which is why I prefer to do something condensed. People can have a busy week or two, and then plenty of time to relax before another event rolls around. I wasn't planning to go to three weeks this year at all! Open to suggestions about this--would you prefer a setup that's e.g. one week for a writing event, one week for reviewing, etc.? Simultaneous, but perhaps fewer things going on? Or extend the event period a bit? For me personally I do think three weeks is the upper limit, but I think it's worth discussing this if people are interested.And on that note: Thank you for hosting all of this! It must be a ton of work keeping track of everything, and it was a blast! (I fully intend to eventually complete everything on my bingo card, too, but for now, there's a lot on my plate.) Here's to another year and some more good stuff next year!
I'm thinking, though... maybe space things out a little more? I mean, you'd think having as much time as was given for bingo, reviewing, and mafia would be enough, but I wonder if there'd be merit to like... giving a week for the bingo, then the following week hold the review party, etc. It might stretch out the celebration (not a bad thing, but I know it could also be stressful having to manage all of this for even longer) and also give some time for people to get in what they wanna do. Either way, I loved the bingo prompts and I very much hope that returns next year, if nothing else! (Tbh still undecided on mafia yet... I think once I get over the beginner-failure that I'm feeling right now I'll probably be interested again if anyone's willing to let me, but regardless I suspect there will be a game next year whether I hope for one or not.)
