@0v7: Honestly yeah! Tbh a tea party that's not a little kid event sounds like it would be kind'a fun. Every one dresses up and talks over tea and sweets, it'd be kind'a cute!

@0v7: I've never had Irish Breakfast, so I can't say compared to that; but I find the Scottish has a soft flavor and its a little less overtly flowery than the English Breakfast's ive tried.
It might also be because I'm Scottish decent but I think its less prone to the "soapy" taste of some teas x')

@LupaPrinceRomulus: Thank you for your apology Lup. I'm glad that we can talk straight about things.
It's understandable to be burned out, especially right now. The world is really weird and it's hard for most people to stay cooped up at home for this much of a year without face-to-face interactions. Try to take it easy with your RP's. Focus on your active ones, and don't do too much at once.

@LupaPrinceRomulus: That makes sense. Tbh I'm always like half a series behind on a Riordan title so I didn't realize we were that close to another series. It's very understandable to want to finish your rp plot before canon comes in and changes your continuum. I also don't have a problem with people having more than one RP group. I've got 2 tabletop groups, with completely different people in them. There's no problem with it.
Honestly though,,, on-site currencies can't pay for bills unless there is a real world currency transfer, and even then that conversion rate is usually very bad for the artist. Like,, you aren't paying me anything at all for art of your characters, but you need to understand that artists put a lot of time and effort into learning their craft. Its the same thing as an engineering earning a college degree to become allowed to build bridges. You spend the time learning the craft that other people don't have time or interest to do, and so you should be valued for actually putting the time into it. The way you talk about artists is not very appreciative of that. The fact that you've gotten free art at all is something you should treasure.
I can charge 60+ USD for a commission of the same quality I'm doing right now. And that's not pride or overcharging, that's pretty standard for the industry. I'm not saying this to make you feel bad either, just to try and make you understand. You need to be gracious to artists who are willing to be paid in "website currency" instead of something they can actually live off of. You need to be extra gracious for people who will make you art for free. Saying something like
makes me feel like you didn't really care about me as a person in your discord, but you cared about the service you could get out of me that you didn't even really have a way to pay for. And just because we have become friends doesn't make this feel less bad. It frankly feels like you are using me for my art and it doesn't feel nice.
And I know you are a better person than that, so I am telling you this because I want you to know the way your words come across. You need to not act like you are entitled to art or work from someone else just because you are friends or friendly with them, and especially not just because you ask. Now I'm using this piece I'm working on as a good portfolio item, and it makes good programming for my Twitch Stream, so I made this something I can actually get value out of, but that isn't usually doesn't float. Please don't ask artists for free art anymore. They deserve more respect, and need to make a living.

@LupaPrinceRomulus: I see.
Ya know that kind of makes it seem like you only want free art out of people and that feels bad dude.

This may have been asked before, but on the cabins page it says you will get your team's uniform automatically for joining, but I don't think I have received it yet? Is it the uniform that is shown at the top of the cabin thread? This is my first event here so I might just be confused.
