Okay so i was gonna just leave this topic alone but then someone called out my work having a lot of likes in a tone that accuses me of doing something wrong. (im not mad dont worry, man)
My primary explanation is that I had a lot of friends who played (past tense) TOS but quit and there are those who are interested to play because ToS is mostly the subject of my art. The fresh accounts you see are those who quit and those who want to play. Those who quit even are considering to come back because theyāre suprised at how iāve been playing from the beginning until now.
Im not sure if asking help from those who quit are considered as āoutsidersā as they were one of us at one point and i thoughy itd be great because i could lead them to come back ļø I NEED THEM TO COME BACK BECAUSE ITS HARD TO QUEUE xD i want more people to play with so im promoting ToS moreso than my crap here.
I dont think having new accounts who voted are a major factor for some shady stuff because it isnt a requirement to make an account here and participate in forums to play the game. i could be playing for 2 years and not have an account here.
so if youd notice, the growth of my work just slowed down drastically since yesterday because I ran out of people who play, played, will play in my circle of friends.
It did astound me that Greentea had an overwhelming amout of like in a span of 24 hours But that doesnāt mean Iām effinā SALTY about hers and her amazing amount of likes because as an artist myself, i want others to succeed and her art is Beautiful. I read the screenshots and here are my thoughts if youād have it:
-
I dont think its prticularly āunfairā to ask fans/friends to vote for oneās work, that one clearly worked for. Because one earned all those peopleās respect and appreciation. Greentea is blessed to have them and she deserves all of them
-
the āfree comicā thing could be the factor that finalizes their decision to take her entry down. But in my opinion, they couldve asked her to remove that part in her post and give her a chance. because she may not have seen it as āvote-sellingā since a comic is not a form of currency
Tl;dr everyone gave a lot of time and dedication to put up an entry that are phenomenal and anyone who wins are deserving including Greentea. Im not bashing the admins because guys lets face it, their work isnt easy.
I just want to have a good time guys. I really do. please letās not stress too much on this. whatever happens here i hope thisll only strengthen us as a community and not cause conflict.
have a great day and thats all thanks !
