Aw, congrats to the winners!

I'm sad you make all the community-favourite-designers's sets so low ig. They would be still pricey, even if there were like 30, 40 or more ig of them, because they're so wanted by everyone.

Well if you compare to some ET’s sets that are like 18ig, 28ig isn’t that low :/

As someone else said, our sets are usually higher ig than compared to ET's given amount. We also have to take into account with what the designers want and many do want their sets low ig so there's not much we can do.

So it will be 28ig? I don't know how to phrase it to not come off as someone who speaks from mere saltiness... I know other teams make things low ig too. I mean, yea, this set then becomes 28ig, but 15ig is going to team members and only 13 to raffle winners? I find it odd team members outnumber the winners themselves. It was a tumblr-team raffle, I guess the tumblr-team worked on the event, not the other team members, so they should've been simply let to enter the event and win only if they're lucky. It was a simple raffle, so they gained no info previously about the event that would've given them any advantage over the normal VP users... it's maybe something you could discuss within the team for the upcoming raffles.

Anyway, I don't mean it exclusively for your event only, it just came out of me now, it's a thing for lots of the events I noticed. Maybe if you let us see how the team works via a blog or something... because, I guess not everyone works on each and every event - especially on raffles, where no judging or anything is necessary. It's just that I don't understand why everyone gets the set... the community-favourites are always claimed by the teams and used as raffle sets, then they became super low ig - and all the team members always have them. It's just something I find odd.

Actually there are two designers involved, Phyx and Hiraeth got copies too. There are 13 female members within the team so it’s more for others (15) than for us (13).

If we did as you suggested, we’d very likely be accused of favoring team members if we let them win too. It’s not just for SMT, other teams (eg ET) handles events like this too - all team members get the prize, no matter if they were involved in the particular event or not. And that’s probably because of the same reason that I just wrote above

maybe it's better to have stricter rules in designers being granted their wishes of wanting every set to be low in game
i mean it's one of the reasons as to why vp is so inflated
like fine u can wish it once every x set u make, but for every set to be low in game is just weird u know? i'm not blaming any of u team members, it's more at the designers u know
i think the same designer always having their sets low in game should be more or less forced to accept that sometimes it will reach 100 copies or will be used for something else
it's just unrealistic to never have sets reach a higher amount and if that designer can't accept their sets being higher ig i think the DT-leader should fire them imO

Yea, I still find it odd everyone gets the set. Probably the idea of rewarding only those who worked on the events will not be welcomed by all the team members, but I think it would make things more fair.

As for favoritism, it takes like a minute to start a screen-recorder and another minute to upload the vid to youtube. Maybe it could be even streamed live, so you won't be accused of cutting the vid. So any raffle winner selection could be shared and there would be no complaints.

that's something i don't understand tbh. i mean i didn't get asked for this set how often it should be given out/IG in general and idk what phyx said but isn't it the teams responsibility to decide how often it should be given out to people? of course i can only speak for myself and my designs but I just really couldn't care less if there are 100 people who can have the set or just like 5 whatever. but i also get it if some designers want their sets to be worth the time they put into it (if that makes sense).

you don't know who's working on the event behind the scenes. just because it only took place on tumblr it doesn't mean only the tumblr people were involved :/ (and yeah i know what i'm talking about i were in several teams on the german server)

It definitely wouldn't take "just a minute" but a lot of more time.. We already spend a lot of our free time for doing fun events for you guys, and we have IRL stuff too, you know?

If you ask us to record everything we do, would you do the same for other teams that have the same practise as we do?

How about WWIB competitions where we vote for our favorites? What if someone says; " *smt member* got this much votes only because they're a member - not because their outfit is good!" In addition to that, the whole team participates in voting so if they were then excluded from voting at all, only 3 would be responsible of picking the winners.

This. I sometimes help other medias too with their events, and many others help too. ^^ So it's not always "Tumblr-only" for example.
