I'm So Excited For The Upcoming Jam!! Will Y'all Be Doing Annual Jams From Now On?

I'm so excited for the upcoming jam!! Will y'all be doing annual jams from now on?

I'm glad you're excited! I'm pretty excited too, hopefully it'll end up being an enjoyable time for all involved! ^^

As far as hosting annual jams goes, that's really situational and depends on a lot of things that we don't know yet. For example, I've hosted before, but the other two haven't, and it may end up becoming too stressful or unenjoyable for one or both of them to where they wouldn't want to host again. It also depends on how many jam participants we end up getting, how well what we've planned goes over, whether or not the time frame ends up being a bad one, if someone else claims our ideal time frame before we can in the future, etc.

There's also some things that are rather case-by-case. Because we could plan to host again next year, let's say, but if someone's schedule suddenly becomes hectic, we'd either have to work around it, host without them, or cancel.

In the end we just really aren't sure, because in a way if you change anything at all, (which you probably want to, to try and find the most stable formula to create a fun, low stress experience for everyone,) each jam is sort of like hosting for the first time, but with just a bit more knowledge going in.

It could also depend on the general opinion of the jammers on how well we hosted. If our jam finishes and everyone feels we've done nothing but create a trainwreck, then chances are low of us hosting again, at least until we can get a solid idea of what we did wrong and try to figure out how to avoid it at all costs in the future.

So basically in the end all I can say is "we'll see when we get there." Personally, I'd love to host a jam every year if that were possible, but it may not be, we can't say for sure, yet.

The Adventures of Unamused Boy part 8

He return

By the way in case anyone was wondering I do in fact have a direction for this stuff it's just taking a little bit because of SC's character limit in the captions.

For the love nikki ask thingie: what about 4,5 & 15? owo

addaffssgsg thank you friend. Tbh I'd forgotten that was even a thing so thankss

4. Who is your favorite character in the chapters?

So the funny thing is I both do and don't have an answer for this lol. Knowing everything I do from events and chapters and dreamweavers and all, I'd pick Flynn. I am weak for characters like that. Based only on chapters though, I don't know for sure really. Bobo has a sharp tongue and causes a lot of funny moments, as well as having an interesting role in the later chapters, Ace has a great design and is obviously smart, and Kaja is just a mood. Hard choice.

5. Which chapter is/was most difficult?

Uhhh god I don't really remember how I did on most of them, just that I did it. Only problems I even remember having are the story related thing in chapter fifteen (which was a coded thing) and chapter 9-2 princess with that f r e a k i n g suit requirement. So I guess I'd go with 9 because that was annoying to run into earlier on in the game.

15. What suit from the other servers are you dying for them to add?

I. Want. Me. My. Wasteland. Lifetime. Suit.

No but seriously it's so gorgeous, I can't wait. Other than that, I think I'm just playing "wait and see" because I can be rather picky with my tastes in suits sometimes and I haven't really seen very many that pique my interest.

Thank you again for asking ^^

Okay so I am really disappointed with how the dawn front event went down. I am not „horny“ for shade and i find it dumb that salty players reduce us to that. You’re freaking ace and I’m on the spectrum too. We’re not salting about people for picking their queen kimi either jeez. Let people allow to pick characters they want, its not hard.

Ya know what me too

((RANT INCOMING BOIS))

Like I'm sure there are some people who picked Flynn bc "he's hot" to them-and don't get me wrong that's perfectly fine-but just assuming that's the only reason anyone would ever pick said character is just honestly kind of rude to everyone who chose him. As if he doesn't have his own story, personality, motivations, etc. that might make him an appealing choice to players. No he's just an edgy uwu animu boi fangirl bait design right?

Thing is we're only having this discussion because we won. If the majority of night order players flocked to Shade but the dawn wings ended up winning no one would give two shits about who chose Flynn or why. Lemme tell y'all something. I chose Flynn because as an aspiring author I found all of the good guys boring and stealth has always been my shit. Yes all of them. Louie is barely a character as of right now, Orlando is fine but he's so typical morally just man in a suit. Kimi is overrated imo and don't even get me started on Bai Yongxi. I know we have a dreamweaver for this guy but I still feel like I've never met him before. So then, what about the night order? We barely know Reid and the guy he teamed up with so that choice was out for me, and Nidhogg's abrasive personality just wasn't doin it for me personally.

Who does that leave? Flynn. Shade. The secret weapon. The assassin with two names.

Ever since I was young I've always found sharpshooters, assassins, ninjas-basically anyone who could outsmart their opponent with not only tactics but agility and speed-cool. I'm a small girl and I was never very strong, so that kind of thing was the kind of stuff I idolized-and part of what lead me to develop my aesthetic the way I did. THAT's why I picked Flynn. It was my personal opinion and preference.

Do I expect anyone to know that? Of course not. Only my close friends know about my childhood. However, I'm not the only person who picks characters based on things other than "how hot I find them," clearly. I'll admit, Flynn's character design is aesthetically pleasing to an edgelord like myself. But if that was the only reason, I'd just go with anyone who remotely resembled that sort of style.

Not to mention the psychological aspects of it all. Morally grey characters are always more interesting from a psychological standpoint, as they present as more human-more relatable to the average person.

I'm getting a little bit off topic but my point is that there's more than one reason Shade won the war. Something else I need to mention is the pre-war salt.

All over the facebook, amino, reddit, etc. before we even got the event implemented were people salting about losing last time and making passive aggressive comments about how they'd lose to " Shade's thirst army" again. Now I had already made up my mind to choose him again, but think for a second about how a new player would feel seeing all that. Do you really think new players would want to join a team full of passive aggressive people who can't let the fact that their fave lost essentially a fictional popularity contest go after a full year? Because I sure as hell wouldn't. That's an extremely unwelcoming environment right there.

So what do I have left to cover? The morality speeches? Yeahh.....

So listen. I saw this mostly on the facebook, but I'll mention it here.

Fiction and real life are two separate things. People are allowed to like problematic charas so long as they understand that said chara is in fact problematic. Supporting a character who's done morally wrong things does not mean said person supports said morally wrong things. If you sit there and try to guilt trip people who just wanted to pick their favorite character in a fictional event that effects nothing ever because they like a specific character and tell them that means they support murder or whatever, I'm sorry but you need to go back to elementary school or something because that's not how anything has worked in the history of things working.

Now with all this said I want to stress that not everyone is like this of course. There are people who remained silent. There are people who know how to make jokes about their loss, and I thank those of you who have done so-you're bridging the gap, my friends. Of course I don't believe everyone is like this. But the sheer amount of people degrading others and belittling them because of a character preference both pre and post event is astounding.

In the end this whole event was basically just a popularity contest. And you know what I see? I see people who can't handle that not everyone shared their character preferences. I see people who don't understand that just because someone favors one character over another doesn't mean they automatically hate the other character. I see people who are so petty that they'll go out of their way to make excuses as to why they lost. Yeah, it was a population imbalance. But you know what? That's just how it happened. If the population imbalance had favored Kimi, or Orlando, or Bai, or Louie, would we be seeing this level of garbage? No. This event effects nothing. Not the story, not real life, nothing.

But you know what does? Unbearable amounts of salty people pointing fingers and yelling "thirst" to the point where I've started to wonder why I got involved in this godforsaken community in the first place. Let people enjoy their dressup game, ya watery salt cubes. You'll get another chance next time around, and I'm just saying-maybe you'd do better if you focused a bit less on yelling about how it's other people's fault you lost. Yea, losing sucks. But in order for there to be a winner, someone has to lose. That's how competitions work.

I feel like I had more points but I'm just so done with this garbage. Whatever. Point is let people like the characters they like instead of getting salty that everyone doesn't worship Kimi as much as you do. It's not that deep.

I'm done here. This stupid. Sorry to anyone who isn't contributing to this who had to see this. I appreciate you. So much. Oh and by the way, I have nothing against Kimi stans, so long as y'all don't do this kinda shit. Everyone has the right to have whatever character be their favorite no matter which one it is.

Yeahhhhhh I second this notion.

I've played this event since the first round and I really miss the first round's atmosphere. It was much more fun because everyone was much chiller and no one was telling others that they were murder apologists for picking a specific anime boy in a dressup game event. It don't matter who you pick here. It's just a popularity contest in an anime dressup game with styling battles thrown in for gameplay. It effects nothing in either real life or the game itself's lore. People can like problematic characters without endorsing their actions. People can like problematic characters without ever mimicking their actions. Most people who like these characters understand that they've done some shit but they like them anyway whether it be due to the character design, personality, character quirks, or whatever else. Because, guess what? Characters are more than their actions. Sometimes the motive behind the actions is almost more important than the actions themselves.

Stuff like this is why I always wanna just turtle up and drop off social media when this event comes around anymore. People get super super toxic towards people who pick Nidhogg and/or Shade for really no good reason :v

Oh and also, please stop acting like the people who pick a character for being hot are in the wrong somehow. That's a perfectly legitimate reason to pick a fictional character in a popularity contest? They can make that choice if they want to? Especially from a game like this where I'd say characterization is definitely one of its weak points. Especially for the main characters, most of then are bland as white bread.

One last note here. I hate to be "that person" who's all "owo uwu think of the children" but uhh y'all do realize this game is mostly marketed at younger girls correct? Can you really justify calling the people who pick these characters murder apologists and all that other nasty shit when there's a good chance the person might be younger and just picking whichever character stands out to them the most? Obviously this crap isn't okay no matter how old the target is but just think on that a bit before you start up again please.

Anyway in conclusion this is my favorite event and I'd appreciate if we could all stop being angry hobgoblins who can't handle different character preferences. There's some of y'all on both sides and both of you need to stop. Please. It's a popularity contest ffs it's really not that serious.

It Is Starting Again. There’s Nothing Wrong With Liking Character Including Very Problematic Characters

It is starting again. There’s nothing wrong with liking character including very problematic characters (that doesn’t make you a psychopath irl). I really like this event don’t get me wrong but what happened last time was a big shitstorm at some points. I hope this time we can be a bit more respectful and not trash people for their choice like last time! It is just a dressup game after all and we all just want to have fun uwu
