The Cosy Couch: Ask Your TBT Fair Questions Here!

[Chris]

I have a question about this. Yesterday I saw a real awesome cloud and ran to take the photo, but I forgot the namecard. I quickly wrote one and took another photo with it like literally 2 minutes later, but the cloud had already lost the shape and was almost gone. The place clearly is the same and I have the time the pics where taken in my phone, 2 min apart. Would this be ok? Otherwise I need to keep looking out the window heh but I would hate to loose the one I've found

Based on @pandapples' post above, this sounds like it would be fine. I'd suggest checking in with her to see if it would be acceptable.

That should be okay. For 100% confirmation you can PM me the images.

When can we change our sigs/avs back to normal after posting in Signature Stylings? I kind of miss Annalisa drinking soda

Hi, I just want to make sure I understand how to get participation points for Tiptoe to the Tunes. You can only attend one session total. Does that mean to get the bonus five tickets, you need to attend Switch Stars?

I went to the Private Contest and Event Submission board to submit my answer for the first round of Count Inside The Bottle, but when I selected that event from the drop-down list the extra fields of "Event Round," "Text Entry," and "Numeric Entry" didn't show up. What am I doing wrong? How do I get those fields?

Nevermind, realized I needed to click "more options"!

I'm pretty sure yes, that's what you need to do!

You‘ll want to keep them on theme until the end of the fair!

That shouldn’t be an issue as it’s clear the photos are in the same location. This is also one of the reasons why requiring a second photo with your username exists!

my submission for little lullabies was just marked as “update needed” because the last line of my haiku wasn’t 7 syllables. but i’m very confused because i thought the format for haikus was 5 syllables, 7 syllables, and then 5 again? the moderator said to submit my “updated” version directly to the thread but i don’t think it needs an update. i didn’t know where to ask for help!!! thank you

This isn't a question, it's more a suggestion for future fairs: streaming the gaming events. I can't participate in Switch Stars since I have none of those games but it would be really fun to watch people I know compete, root for people, etc. That way those of us who can't join can still enjoy the event in some way. Thanks

I have a question about the signature contest. Let's say that you commission a signature from some person, right? Then you enter it in the contest. First of all, do both seller and buyer get participation tickets? Or is it just the buyer who displays the signature? And let’s say this person wins. Again, do both buyer and seller get the collectible?

How does Staff Favorite work? Is it when a staff member love reacts your entry?

I would suggest speaking to @Kaiaa directly about this.

Only the person sporting the avatar/signature would receive the participation tickets or staff favourite. The original creator would not receive anything in the scenario you have outlined.

A staff favourite is when your entry is nominated by the team to receive a reward. They are not linked to post reactions. Staff favourites can be announced between rounds, at the end of a week, or at the end of the event altogether.

for the final cozy photo contest, what if we're unable to find a cloud? i live in a place thats currently very heavily affected by wildfires + smoke, so i can't see any clouds. i'm not expecting it to clear up before the fair ends.

 

[Maruchan]

...HELP? I'm afraid I used the wrong 'format' when creating/submitting for "Half-Past Hoodwinked: Round 1"
(not my answer, just the round # and text entry portion)
Would a staff member please kindly have a look, and see if it can be corrected? Thank you!

Is there any way to get alerts for when an event is ending or closing?

Ah yeah :( In the unofficial collectibles-themed discord server there's a role that we generally ping when stuff starts/ends, but if you don't have discord the only alternatives i can think of are these two (1 2) unofficial calendars?
Unless staff answers to give another way

Oh I didn't know there was a Discord, I wouldn't mind joining if there's a link?
