Hi all,

We are receiving quite a lot of CTS threads about the survey bells right now, and after a bit of digging it looks like there was an issue somewhere during distribution.* Flagged this up with Jeremy and hopefully he can update you all later once he has had a chance to look into it.

*The AC:NH Bunny Day Interior Design Event participation bells were not affected by this issue so if you have not received those then please let us know via a CTS thread. Please put "Bunny Day" in the title so we can distinguish it from survey bell threads, thanks!

[Coach]

Very exciting news about all upcoming features, and the fair too!

 

[Rowlet28]

I think I saw a fair when I was last active but I didn't really participate... Excited to take part in it as well as it's one of many's firsts.

 

[Jeremy]

If you didn't see your survey bells yesterday, check again. I sent another batch of them that got skipped.

Nope nothing yet. Might be because I did an UN change last night so it might have clashed

Cackles in Hall of Mirrors

Can’t wait to watch users suffer

Oh wow. I remember during the last TBT Fair I guessed 5 of the mirrors correctly until the 6th and the bonus mirrors lost me. But since I got the tetris collectible from the photo contest by imitating the Spongebob Scene where he needed it in Sandy's Treedome, I decided to give up entirely on the Hall of Mirrors. But dang, how could a user guess 5 mirrors in a row correctly? Apparently me...

YAAAAY the fair is my favorite event i'm so excited! and this art contest looks like so much fun!!!

 

[Dio]

does anyone know when is the date usually set after announcement?

 

[seliph]

im glad we have pronouns (as much as i'd love them being more accessible it's a step) though the art contest... isn't it a little counterproductive to promote diversity by handing out prizes? including rare/coveted ones at that

it feels disingenuous to be awarded for allyship so personally i don't think i could bring myself to participate

and just to be clear i'm sure the intent was good but it just feels... off to say the least.

That is a loaded question, given how many elements diversity can cover. We are a team of 13 people scattered across 6 countries and 4 continents - so naturally we don't all fit the same mould. I won't give any specific examples because we have some very private members of our team who would rather not be identified even through process of elimination.

Thanks for answering my question. Again I don’t want to be rude but can you see my concern about diversity when those four continents, to my knowledge, are North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia? Now I don’t really know anything personal about any of the staff but especially at this time this issue hits kinda close to home. I think it’s quite apparent where the talk of “celebrating diversity” and this art contest came from. It’s related to recent worldwide events. I see so many companies and other organizations being extremely superficial and just for show about diversity. They say “celebrate diversity” and then are not themselves incorporating diversity within their staff. Now again, I don’t know anything about the race of the staff and they have no obligation to share. I also want to say it would bring me some peace of mind regarding this if there was someway I knew the staff was racially diverse. I’m really only saying it because you guys brought it up first. Knowing continents doesn’t help all that much. If I just assume everyone is the majority from their continent then we have most of the staff being white.

While I can see how you have come to this conclusion, this was not the motivation behind the event at all. This event was not inspired by race but by the fact June is pride month. It was brought up by one member of the team that it should be broader than that to be more inclusive, so we decided to go with diversity as a general theme so people could choose topics that resonate with them personally rather than a single one.
