Hate to say it, but this sounds like you really are the grinch.

I hope I can spread anger and unhappiness to the masses

Don't tell me to get over it when I spent ages creating hats that got denied without good reasoning.
Pick out one of my hats and show me how it's too similar to pokemon

guess what happened to teacupdolly
Same happened to me.

Well they accept recolors of hats you make, so ofc those with 0 artistic ability such as yourself wont make it past.

If the hat you're so proud of is the bow you're wearing right now, in 10 different colors, I'm not entirely sure if that counts as "artistic ability"...

I agree with this. But I like the bow because it reminds me of food


Again, WHY did he get every single recolor, yet I get treated like **** when I don't even get half of mine that are being used?!
They aren't all recolors either. There's 3 very different versions, and the polka dotted version had 2 alternative versions. I didn't even GET the polka dotted versions.

Honestly, this is about more than that.
But hey all it takes you to not be mad is to not visit this thread

Finally someone said it. Just stop. You aren't gonna get your hats.  

tl;dr
Everyone thinks they're automatically entitled to hat if they spent time on one

It's roughly the same thing. Get over it and do whatever, I've already said if you set expectations you have a chance of being disappointed but no one gives a **** lol.

i understand its annoying for ivy and i do agree its unfair, but cmon, does it seriously help repeating it over and over? leah is the only one who has control i would think and i doubt she'll make any changes after reading this thread so..

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  

Didn't Ivy submit copyrighted content before, that had to be removed later on?

Also, I think after making this thread, they might not even accept a single hat from you for next Christmas. You should be more grateful.

I'd like to see the bow. I remember Teacupdolly's work being from another game, so maybe the staff had to measure on what they would pick from both of you, and not take any risks to just remove the hats later on.

I'd like to see the hats striken made. If anyone can post. Even if they were bad, the fact that he has no bad record and doesn't get mad over something like this, I'd rather let someone like him get his hats.

Who knows, maybe they couldn't accept anymore hats, maybe they accepted striken's first and didn't have room for more "quality" hats.  

Someone should post pictures of stuff that got accepted and stuff that got rejected  

Don't you have a ton of presents anyways?? I'm pretty sure you'll end up with them regardless if they were handed to you or not
