Quoting this cuz its the last thing you posted

You know what, im glad all your things got accepted. Yeah you're new so maybe your work isn't the greatest technically speaking but **** it, I remember when my first hat was accepted for gifts and yeah, it sucked, but damn I wore it proudly and it motivated me so much to continue pixelling, still to this day

People get quality content all year round, im glad thats it not the same mix of people getting their work on the server every year and its always a variety of quality, I love the hats that are so bad I have to question what it actually is, but also love the hats that are so damn good im like wow im lucky!!

@Ivy You are a good pixel artist there's no doubt about that, and what you submitted was great, recolours or not (whatever). 21 hats!!! Damn, but thats 21 spaces you alone would take! Its much better community - wise that you or someone else only gets a fraction of that number, so 10, 11, 12 other people etc. can have theirs. I extend that to others you've mentioned as well, Storm, Teacup, you both among others did amazing pieces that definitely was higher than the bar, so all I can really say is, hey you did great and you're both great, theres always next year.

And yeah, I sit on the other side of the fence to you guys so I can't help but be a little bias, but the way I've thought about it sounds way nicer imo!!

TL;DR Most of you did great, but theres quality content all year round and its nice to have a variety of players rather than the same ones every year
