What if for a festival skin contest, all the participating artists agreed to only submit awful work. Like we’re talking Microsoft ClipArt level quality. “Graphic design is my pashun” quality. Just awful skins and accents.
And every single entry is like this. And the admins are stuck having to pick shitty winners. Nobody buys them from the marketplace. The chests have no value. Worst festival in recent history.
the users of fr wait with held breaths
for the greatly anticipated hell festival. everything had gone off without a hitch as every entry was pure garbage or completely unusable. but as rollover dragged on confusion spread out among them. not a single festival item was showing up. joxar was still missing. finally the users were able to access the site once again but there was no deity post. a few minutes later a post by undel showed up in the site status box. the festival was postponed. the skin and accent entry thread was extended so users can post “serious” entries and the festival would not take place until there were enough of them to hold a proper festival. the user base was on fire. split between the “just do it right” and “my entry was totally legit look at that guy fieri edit do you kno how long that took”. undel sits at the computer, head placed in hands, as a new post was made on the thread. with a slow click a pearlcatcher edited to look like a dwarf unicorn with angry brows was revealed. for the first time since the site was opened undel logs out.
imagine if the staff responded by cancelling their real apparel and familiars and gave us a clip art snowflake to sit on a dragon’s shoulder and a world of warcraft goblin photoshopped to be ice blue
