Perhaps you need a more hands-on help. Maybe you can find a local or close drawing workshop? They tend to be for all levels and you’ll have people ther ehelping you on site.
Well, maybe I’ll try to. Still to shy to do so. It’s like… I feel shame when looks at my own arts despite I believe I shouldn’t. I guess.
Oh, and well, I’ve already tried to take a drawing courses. And i’ve failed them :D

Oh by the way, for the next event, the players will be assigned based on their activity in this event, rather than strictly even-odd split. Every first player will be assigned to team 1, while every other player would be team 2, ordered by their total points. This means red flux would be on Team 1, while WatermelonRat would land on Team 2, and so on.
Did I get it right? The even-odd split would apply not on user ID but on top-scored-players list of this event? For example, does it mean that if my place is 48, I’ll be in one team with those who were at 2nd, 4th, 10th, 24th, 34th and so on places?..

Meh, one just don’t fail ay doing art. You should be given “tools” and learn how to apply them.
Then it’s up to you. But someone’s bad art os someone else’s masterpiece

I sure hope there is a special badge for getting an immense score of 20 because I DESERVE it!

Adjust point gain based on the amount of tags present in the image upload. 3-7 tags = 1 point, 8-10 tags = 5 points, 11+ tags = 10 points
I’d suggest also multiplying point gaining by something like x3 or x5 if artist/editor tag belongs to the uploader. I suppose it would be fair and it would encourage users to draw and create their own stuff more than just uploading a tons of others’ work!

Well, half of the deal is done, I’ve got my… Tools. Those wacom tablets pretty handy. And not only as being plate tray!
But I get what you said. Sometimes I’ve get into situation when someone says “That art of yours was pretty nice. I wish I could draw too”. Even if I consider my own pics as pretty bad. It gives a courage. A bit.

☀Welcome Princess Celest
What about artist point contribution? Would probably be too hard track and or automate with so many posts being made.
Probably also pretty open to abuse.
A look through the April Fools 2023 tag shows a good handful of people drew or created something simply because of the event though they probably only ended up contributing about 10+ points to their teams.

That’s would be a shame then because I didn’t tagget my own arts with my own tag since I don’t have one (and I’m too shy to create one) >_>

Magnificent Metadata Maniac - #1 Assistant
Perfect Pony Plot Provider - 10+ uploads with over 350 upvotes or more (Questionable/Explicit)
The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012
Fine Arts - Two hundred uploads with a score of over a hundred (Safe/Suggestive)

I could have had a higher score if I had put in more time, but I’m happy with what I got. I just made it to 666 in the last 10 minutes because it was an attainable number between ranks C and B.
Lunar victory was always a foregone conclusion, though hats off to the Solar Empire for fighting well.
@Princess Celestia
A good and thorough write-up.
I have a couple suggestions for the next time you run a similar game:
Adding tags should count for points since tags are an essential part of the site and if people are mass uploading images, skipping tags will be the first thing they do to save time.
I saw points change by 1,000 or more over the course of an hour. Adjusting point gain for the losing team is a decent idea, but I don’t think it should kick in until there is at least a 5,000 point deficit.

Woo!
Welp, i was about 100+ points short of being on top-100 (had perhaps 598 at the end), but at least i’ll get that fancy C-rank badge!
And it’s still crazy to see that red flux was insanely hard-working, nobody else even reached to 15k+ points!
