A factual response :)
d-eyre.tumblr.com/post/644733673230548993/given-that-the-elnin-breedings-are-very-likely As my actual post was never accepted (ty for confirming who you are, d-eyre), here’s an explanation I wrote up really quick for the false claim: “There are far too many people entered by my math and far too few GAs and breedings they can take up for everyone to get at least one breeding”
Let’s take a look at the factual statistics, shall we?
Currently, if you look at my spreadsheet (It’s linked in the Elnin dA group in a journal if you need it), you will notice we have about 23 people who have not gotten any breedings whatsoever yet. Which, considering we’re not even halfway done (23/150 people), is incredibly GOOD. Breeding artists (we have 15 of them) are picking 1-2 pairs per week, which means potentially 30 people can be covered (at minimum) in just one week. Most of them have been picking 2x breedings, so that’s 60.
39/81 of the most recent flaffle were for FTO (meaning, those of you complaining ya’ll didn’t get shit are most likely people who DO have elnin already. Ya’ll just biching you didn’t get MORE right away). Am I bummed I didn’t win a flaffle? Yes. Am I complaining and bitching on an anonymous blog like a prepubescent teenager? No. :)
“but what about people who didn’t enter? Maybe it be because they are ftos or because they don’t own an adult elnin or don’t have the funds atm or got around to get to anything done yet to qualify for breedings.” Bruh, idk what to tell you. It’s CS? If you don’t have any money, that’s not the fault of anyone? If you’re FTO, there’s LOADS of kittoms available for FTO (as aforementioned). If you haven’t gotten around to growing your kittom, that’s unfortunate, but sometimes timing/trades/etc. just don’t work out the way you expect it to. I personally find the flaffles to be very fair. When you have wayyy over 150 people entering for 80-some kittoms, there will be a lot of people who are left bummed out. Just how RNG works? Low-luck people should be getting more opportunities down the line (I’m also hoping for that :D). So just be a little patient.
In regards to the odd accusation about me simping for elnin: I don’t simp for elnin. I do have problems w/ how the species is run, etc. But I fail to see how being aggressive about it to people who literally do not have the power to do anything is gonna solve anything (mods are volunteers, and cannot force anything upon the owner?). Hence, my words of defense in previous weeks in the discord. If you wanna say something, say it in a coherent fashion, and hope for the best. However, since Elnin is owned by mana (basically it’s a monarchy), you literally cannot do anything about it. Instead of constantly subbing to her patreon, if everyone stopped for a month or two, she might get the message. :shrug: bruh idk. But passive aggressive flaming/getting all bichy doesn’t solve shit. And my stabby friend, if you’re here, I also think your “sub to mana so i can complain in her patreon chat’ is doing nada. XD literally feeding the problem/enabling it imho :’) but best of luck my dude
