Nice work, I always knew you were intrepid.

DD: All he really had to do was figure out what font I used, then do a straight decode from there as I did just use a special symbol font and typed it out normally. I plan on having her hold something similar to a Rosetta Stone so it can be figured out by only using the clues in the picture.

And it looks great too. I went ahead and put a little more "tease" in the teaser you had in mind, and here it is:

Which one(s)? The only ones I've removed were some work in progress/test videos I was doing for Golden Age Secret of the Paragon Society. I double checked all my links up top and they're all still showing for me.

edit: Oh, I think you were talking about SupaFreak's - he updated that video with a few changes. Check his link in the multimedia section of the forums, or his YouTube channel for the updated one.

Yes but if you're offline when the message is sent, it's stored on the servers (aka your mailbox) until you next log in, and that can become full. I don't know exactly, and it may be based on total size, and not just number of messages. I know I've logged into about 4-5 long /tells and/or feedback messages before.

In all the previous years, the winner of each month was granted immunity for the next month. I wanted to do something a little more different. As long as you participate each month, even if you placed last every time, you would start the month of June with around 65 points which is almost enough for the highest valued option. I'm also offering bonus points each month that can be earned by anyone.

By doing this, everyone has the option of using their points on the small perks, or saving them for the big perks. If you are doing well, yes you could have the option of using both, which is why I tried to have the smaller point valued items be relatively small bonuses. Like "A little more time" would allow you a couple more days, but you would potentially lose votes if the voting thread goes up before the piece is done. "Overruled" would allow you to submit something off-theme, but having an off-theme piece would also probably effect your votes negatively for those people who vote on which piece best fits the theme.

If you think any of the point values should be more or less than what they are, I'd be glad to hear it. To give out a few numbers for someone who participated every month: The minimum number of points is 60. The average number of points is about 80. The maximum number of points (excluding bonus points) is 100.

There's a couple reasons why I wanted to keep this competition going for this year. To give the forums more art, and to allow artists to challenge themselves. They're challenged each month with a theme and a deadline. I added the points to try and make it more fun. Instead of just awarding immunity to the winner each month, every participant has the option to increase their chances in whichever ways they decide. Those in the lead have more options, but that doesn't change how people vote, and when it comes time for the voting, everyone's in the same boat. If you don't like the points system, feel free to ignore them, ensuring you'll have enough points to use the "saved" option if you ever need it - which reminds me one of the other reasons why I put that in, I understand that some months are busier than others, and this allows you a freebie later in the year if you are so busy that you have to miss a month.

I was checking this the other day, and there's arcs by Dev Choice Authors that have been up for a long time that haven't even hit 30 plays. They really need to have a better in-game advertising of the "click the author's name for more arcs by that author" than just a loading screen tip.
