Man these sparrers are such crybabies

I'll end it here before Yog gets depressed and "stressed out" and quits the forums again (awkward)

Going on a Graalians leave was actually really good for me. I was able to get a psychiatrist who helped deal with my depression (took me a lot of ****ing courage to do that) , and a Therapist who taught me some of the most helpful coping methods for my anxiety. I eventually ended up getting the courage to get on a plane from Florida to Massachusetts, and applying for a job. The job makes me feel useful, and it's helped to give me a purpose in my life. It's treated me so well that I've felt confident enough to come back, and It's given me a decent amount of income to start giving away steam codes to Graalians. (click the cat if you want to enter).

I'd do the same thing a million times if it had even half of the outcome.

But I think it really shows your true character when you resort to personal attacks about my disorders. Thankfully I've grown past anxiety attacks.

The creator didn't even know the GST hat existed. It also managed to pass through multiple higher ups. Quit acting like they're out to get you and ruin your fun or something.

Leah? The GFX admin who has worked on iClassic for how many years didn't know that a first place GST hat existed? How about the remake of the dolphin hat from 3 months ago (that she also made for this Christmas)? Isn't that more of a testament to how bad she is, and not how great she is? I'm confused as to what you're trying to say here.

Uh, okay. Let's move beyond your admission that the GFX team on iClassic sucks and get to the point.. Are you asking why sparrers should be respected parts of the Graal community? Here's the extremely simple answer for you, since you're apparently mentally incapable of understanding: you are not giving me an incentive to play this game when you update GST hats and re-release them. You're telling me that the competitive side of this game doesn't matter. Apparently what matters more is being part of the "Graal chatroom" and spam "G4G" so that you can get as many gifts as possible in order to get these updated GST hats.

Unfortunately I have a feeling that I'm speaking to a brick wall here since you clearly don't participate in any real gameplay on this game outside of making graphics. You guys should honestly just start reselling old US GST hats exactly as they were made, it's not like you have much respect for them anyways:

I won't out the person that did it because they seemed genuinely apologetic about it (if Leah was or replied to any of my PMs I would have just let it ago) and assured me that it wouldn't happen again, but at this point I couldn't care less for any GST hat that I've ever won which is why I'm trying to get help deleting them all.

Either way, I have no idea how it doesn't make you feel like a ****ty GFX artist in general to have to reuse old ideas because you're creatively incapable of thinking of a different object to put on a head.

didn't US get their red finger hat replaced after being sold in Onnet for Superbowl?

So I think US should get a replacement for pylon hat too or something at least.

Leah would have to have 2% respect for me or anyone that has won a GST for that to happen, which clearly isn't the case. You're thinking too logically and rationally, try taking everything as a personal attack instead of constructive criticism and maybe you'll see their logic here.

Ya, that's pretty much the exact type of response I've come to expect with someone with exactly 0 competitive accomplishments on this game. Very well thought out reply.

All you have to do is click this guys post history to see that he has some weird vendetta against sparrers in general. Welcome to the ignore list, weirdo.  

I heard that this issue was warned about prior to its releasal and that they did discuss it, however they still decided to go through with it. I'm sure that they didn't do this out of pure spite to ruin people's gameplay, if anything the issue has already been done and we should look for a solution (which I have seen in this thread from a few people ) from staff so that this doesn't happen again in the future (instead of arguing about who a "real player" is or not).

At this point, we have seen a lot of the perspective from players, but let's see how it looks for staff (purely hypothetical, I don't represent staff BTW): they could just replace the hat in the cache for everyone who has it to something else. This has been done before last year for a semicircle hat to turn into a cone. The problem with this is that they don't want to go into the trouble of doing this for every single idea that is similar to a previous hat (there are already so many restrictions on them), so it's bound to happen that there are more than one type of blue bow in the game. For GST hats, even a unique idea which has been a pitched solution has the issue of players not liking it for being too unique...(and there are only so many ideas that players like, but this is contradictory since usually they like hats that have already been made before, which would again be a repeat). (Sorry for this mess of a paragraph)

Anyways we need to think up some more solutions that are feasible for both "sides" of this argument once that happens I think that there can be more closure to this.

A puppet on strings*  

I made cookies but they didn't make it in...

Chocolate chip! I shall remodel you for next year

Ah heck... I'll even remodel the milk

On the plus side you guys can't blame me for the food items you recieved

Well you can, but I won't feel the burn  

Woahhhhh! I got a gst hat from my gifts! I feel like a real gst champion now! Thanks guys!  

She didn't know the damn hat existed so quit acting like she's out to get you. Stop lying about having the hat deleted from your account because you're salty or whatever because your extremely rare hat has a slightly better version out there. Quit acting like I need some sort of competitive achievement in this game to have any sort of say. I've worked on the graphics team and I know how things work there. It's not an entire conspiracy of members trying to wrong GST members. Infact GST hats are the most stressful items to make because pixeling 5 unique hats is hard (and no, we aren't allowed to do wings and clown noses) but these hats have to be codeveloped with content that all players can enjoy, not just a select few, yet more time went into my gst hats than any other graphical item I ever made, and still only 7 ungrateful people got those hats, compared to the other hats that a couple hundred own and enjoy. but it's still not good enough for you guys. You have multiples of these rare hats that are hand made and go through a constant vetting process but you want more. They need to be custom made just for you, but that's not how it works. You knew what you were getting into and what the prizes were. Do I think the pylon remake was a good idea? No, but it's too late to change anything, and you still get to keep your original GST hat and the others I'm sure you have that are unique. You're just mad you're not the only one out of tens of thousands of people on the server with this not even just the hat, but the style of the hat. No one can have it but you. If it were me from the start, I'd be questioning why such a dumb hat was used for GST. It's a pylon. Someone clearly looked out of their window for 2 seconds for inspiration and spent 3 creating the hat.

Also quit acting like a dolphin and a whale are the same thing.

It's not as common of an issue as you make it sound here. This is actually the first time I've ever seen GST hats just outright copied and remade.

Did you see the bunny hat that Striken had approved? There are tons of other bunny hats on the server:


You'll never see anyone complain about Striken's though, because it's unique and different from the rest of them. Leah could have done something like add yellow caution tape around the pylon, or anything to set it apart from being a direct copy of the US hat. Instead, she copied the exact same hat and remade it "at a different perspective." She did the exact same thing to Trollin's GST hat, even copying the animation, but apparently caught amnesia within the past few months and can't remember it ever existed.

She isn't going to admit her mistake and instead her friends and former bad staff members are going to flood the thread with nonsense to try and derail it and pass this off as something that every staff member has done, when in reality Leah is the only GFX staff to remake and release exact copies of GST hats.
