Ugh, this was an awful SWSH for me. At least I managed to hatch one!
And looking forward to the new novelty and eventually to shiny hunting it. -------------------- Check my GPXPlus journal to see what I contributed to the site! Interested in a commission? PM me. |

...Seriously? A GIRAFARIG novelty and one that looks hideous? That's about the last thing I expected. How come I have yet to like a prize novelty from a SWSH I participated in?
I wasn't expecting a spring novelty yet either since it's winter, but still. I was hoping for something way better than this for my first successful SWSH, like another holiday novelty. And right now, I'm not sure I want to even use my voucher. This post has been edited by Kelleo: Dec 1 2012, 12:32 AM -------------------- My art thread.

If you don't like the novelty, I'm sorry, but at least have respect for the person who sprited the egg and Pokemon. And if you don't want to use the voucher, use it anyway and abandon the Pokemon. I'm sure someone would pick it up and appreciate it. -------------------- |

You are not required to like something. That does not mean you are allowed to insult and degrade the work of others, be it staff work or even work a regular user did (I'm not accusing you of the later, just using it as part of comparison). Almost all you've done in this thread is whine. Enough is enough. If you do something like this again in the near future, you can expect more than just a warn out of it. -------------------- Overtaken by Net & Zodi on that track!

That is a level of rude I was not expecting as I thought the sprite was the cutest thing ever and the result of hardwork and generosity by one of our contributors. Anyhow, let's not forget that there are people on the other end of these computers. And there are people who are the ones who make this site what it is. And those people have feelings. -------------------- Please use the Help Page and appropriate Help Forum instead of PMing me. Only PM if it's something you need me or an Admin for specifically. |

...Seriously? A GIRAFARIG novelty and one that looks hideous? That's about the last thing I expected. How come I have yet to like a prize novelty from a SWSH I participated in? I wasn't expecting a spring novelty yet either since it's winter, but still. I was hoping for something way better than this for my first successful SWSH, like another holiday novelty. And right now, I'm not sure I want to even use my voucher. More or less what Vibrancy said, but also, if you don't like the sprite personally that doesn't make it "hideous." Furthermore, since one of the hunt Pokemon was Girafarig, it shouldn't be a total surprise... not that there's a novelty of a hunted Pokemon every SWSH, but it isn't exactly unprecedented when one is. Really, if you don't like something that's one thing, but you seriously need to watch your words. They make a world of difference between expressing disappointment and just coming off like a jerk. -------------------- |

I like this novelty even less than those of the last two SWSHs I entered, and even less than a regular Girafarig. I'm sorry, but this is just how I feel. The egg is nice, though. And I'll consider using the voucher anyway and just abandoning the Pokemon. Still, I was really hoping for a holiday novelty like Red-Nosed Deerling/Sawsbuck (based off of Rudolf) or something. That would've been so cute. EDIT: QUOTE Almost all you've done in this thread is whine. Wait what? What the hell are you talking about? Where have I ever whined in this thread at all?

There are tons of people who didn't get one shiny, and I'm sure some of them see the novelty and love it, and are really disappointed. It really is the way you say things. If you don't like the novelty, ok, but you have the shinies, prize points, and knowing you succeeded. It's not like you're totally left in the cold. -------------------- |

I wanted an Icy Mienfoo that trained in the cold and became some sort of cold-hearted karate master.
That being said, cute sprite, kind of looks like a snow giraffe. Kind of like this. (click to show ) -------------------- |

Hey, I never said I didn't appreciate the fact that I finally had a successful hunt. I do appreciate it and I'm happy I finally hatched at least one shiny for once. And I also feel for those who couldn't hatch a shiny in time, because I know exactly how that feels. I've been there, and it's disappointing. I'm really sorry some folks just couldn't get lucky. I wish you all better luck in January! -------------------- My art thread.

Trust me, I've been on both sides of this before, so I understand, but no one needs their feelings hurt! Oh, I know. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, nor was I intending to "whine" at any point in this thread. I just wanted to have a good time and maybe even make some friends. And I did seem to find a friend in Samoo. I was just really disappointed that I ended up really disliking the prize novelty for my first successful SWSH. And truth be told, when I get annoyed, I sometimes don't think before I act... So I apologize. This post has been edited by Kelleo: Dec 1 2012, 12:54 AM -------------------- My art thread.

Hey, I was just being honest. There is a VERY clear difference between honesty and outright malice. You fall into the latter category. Honestly, your previous* post just takes the cake. *previous being the first post you made at the conclusion of the hunt Wait what? What the hell are you talking about? Where have I ever whined in this thread at all? QUOTE(Kelleo) Azurite always seems to have the least amount of entrants. Are there just more Malachites and Wulfenites? If so, that's kind of unfair and puts us at an equally unfair disadvantage... QUOTE(Kelleo) I'm just upset that it looks like Azurite won't win...again. Malachite and Wulfenite got to win, why can't we have a turn at the bonus? :/ I'm also upset that I'm still unable to contribute to Azurite. My shiny luck just sucks too much. QUOTE(Kelleo) I don't mean to drag anything out, but I think that if the mods played favorites, that would be quite unfair to people. Just saying. QUOTE(Kelleo) If Mienfoo doesn't get picked for this month's hunt...well, either I'll deal with hunting a Pokemon I dislike or I won't participate. Wouldn't mind either way, seeing as a shiny Seviper still eludes me. QUOTE(Kelleo) Girafarig? Really? I always thought that thing looked stupid. There's little difference between its normal form and shiny form too. Here's just a few choice ones. I've ignored some of the less blatant ones. I've also ignored other posts in OTHER threads of you whining, multiple times, about not completing the SWSH for the month. My advice, pretty simply, is that maybe you should relegate your quick tongue to the Gear Grinders thread. This post has been edited by Wraenna: Dec 1 2012, 12:59 AM -------------------- |

Not hating on anything, but for reasons... I'm disappointed the novelty is of a Girafarig. BECAUSE I looked up the drama of the voting fiasco and the species that got snuck in was Girafarig. therefore, if the novelty HAD to be of 1 of the 3 choices, then choosing the one who shouldn't have been there... it seems sketchy to me. I love the novelty aesthetically, don't get me wrong, but I, personally, still find the principles behind it as an "ok" choice not so great.
In fact, I would have preferred it being a Girafarig novelty without girafarig even being in the SWSH (or if it got in fair and square)... the tropius one && pudgy pidgey and the blue stone weren't related the the choices, after all. The coincidence just bothers me. That's all I've got to say. Let me reiterate, I don't think it's "hideous" or bad. I actually am curious to how it is "hideous". It seems downright adorable to me. And it's not like it's bad spriting...or anything displeasing from an unbiased artistic perspective. <__< -------------------- Call me Ronnie (or Ronnster) Please :> NOTICE: I'm not that active at this moment so I will be uber slow with PMs and might not clickback or whatever. Maybe I'll be back in full force someday... like for the SWSH... I don't wanna miss out on the prize... <.<

While I can understand the levels of frustration with the month of November what with my Stepmom passing last Friday and all sorts of other drama including that of previous Novembers, Just because a Novelty at the end of the month isn't the one you wanted it to be doesn't mean you can just go on an all out attack, like it seems to have been all month. Yeah there was issues with the hunt from the start thanks to a few proxiers, though I bet there's even more conspiracies now seeing as the Novelty is Girafaraig. Yeah the SWSH itself can be annoying what with Thanksgiving and Black Friday and various other things that you might have had throughout the month. But you need to learn to cool the jets before posting.
Oh well, let's move on to December. And before anyone points out some crap I posted 3 years ago in #gtsplus about how I wasn't fond of Remorage. Shut up, that was 3 years ago and I've matured and learned to love Octillerage. EDIT: just saw the post that was made while I was posting. There's whining written all over that post. You whined about the unbalancedness of the Affinities. You claimed mods play favourites. Kept pointing out you disliked your shiny hunt choice. And you also kept saying Girafarig was stupid. You need to stop while you're behind. This post has been edited by H1Z1: Dec 1 2012, 01:04 AM -------------------- |
