IMPORTANT THREAD REGARDING THIS AND THE EVENT IN GENERAL (at least on the farcade end)
just a couple things i wanted to address, please read if you can!! (it's also long as hell sorry ππ)
[π§΅ ]
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// so first thing (and the thing most people probably care about)
erm.. i may have slightly underestimated the workload + burnout so ACTUALLY
the second half of the tryouts are gonna resume monday instead.
truth be told, after doing the math i realized i'm already doing-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// -80 edits just for the tryout setup alone, and the average amount of replies i've had to do per batch is roughly double that if not more, which makes..
240 edits ππ
i also work a job AND i'm in my graduating month of college so i'm realizing this just isn't really-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// -feasible for me, especially with burnout..
which is whyyy i've enlisted some help!!
starting monday, a couple of other people i've asked will be taking over some of the batches for me to ensure the second half goes a lot smoother!!
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// for those in the first half who haven't been responded to yet, i'm sorry it's taking a while but i'll get to you! this has just been a lot larger of a task than i realized, and i think i set some unrealistic expectations for myself ππ but everyone WILL get a response!!
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// so to sum this part up
- tryouts will resume on monday
- some other people will take over some tryout batches in the second half
- everyone WILL get their response eventually, even if it's slow!!
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// now for the SECOND PART OF THE THREAD!!
have this folded kit image to distinguish this half from the rest
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// so i'm not going to mention anyone specifically as this is just a thing i've been seeing in general; if you see someone doing this, PLEASE do not send hate towards them. i just wanted to clear things up here
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// i've been seeing a good few people complaining about not being interacted with in this event, specifically regarding on my end.
respectfully, a good few of these fall into the category of people who either just didn't meet the requirements i had publicly set, or just missed-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// the tryout deadline entirely. if that's the case, i'm sorry but i am NOT breaking the rules for you. that wouldn't be fair for anyone else.
HOWEVER, there are also a few i've seen who did meet the requirements, did apply, and still haven't been interacted with. i've mainly-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// seen these people complain about being left out, some specifically citing their follower count.
now, i get it! not getting the interactions you want can suck and be frustrating. but to claim that it's because of your follower count is absolutely NOT true. i've had people in-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// these tryouts with less than 200 followers, some even less than 100. i do not care about your follower count WHATSOEVER, and i try to give everyone an equal chance.
the fact of the matter is, it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to give a tryout to everybody when there's only 80 slots-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// and there were hundreds of valid applicants!!
it doesn't necessarily mean you did something wrong, i might have just not gotten to you, and it's nothing personal.
that being said, please do NOT claim i'm excluding you for reasons i am absolutely not. some of the people i've-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// seen cite follower count have HUNDREDS more followers than others i HAVE given a tryout. please do not try and paint me in a negative light when it just is not true whatsoever.
again, i understand it sucks to not be included, but, and i mean this as nicely and respectfully-
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// as possible,
NOBODY OWES YOU AN INTERACTION!!
applying does not mean you're DEFINITELY getting a tryout, and getting a tryout does not mean you're DEFINITELY getting in!! that's unfortunately just how it is with the structure of this event.
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// that being said, please keep in mind that this is all just a fun hobby!!
there's no need to get wrapped up in negativity, complain about others, argue, any of that. we're all just here to have fun with our silly little characters and i think that's important to keep in mind.
Mechal Sonic retweeted
// but erm.. i think that's all?
basically uhh
SPREAD LOVE AND HAVE FUN AND BE KIND TO EVERYONE THANK YOU VERY MUCH β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
