1. I really don't know, cos on one hand it would be nice to have a larger variety of people on teams, but on the other hand it wouldn't be fair to limit a person just because their good, allowing them to be suitable for multiple teams. Maybe 3 teams max (not including promotion team)?

2. Again, I'm not sure, some probably spend more time than others due to personal reasons and work and stuff. I would say maybe 3-4 hours a day, depending on their own schedule too I guess.

3. Well, not really, but what exactly does the promotion team stand to gain besides a badge for a month? Just wondering

4. Oh I guess the question for no. 3 should come here oops

I think the badge in itself is the reward. Promotion team members have brought 10+ people to the site, so they receive the badge as a reward.

ohhh thanks! I just thought that the promotion team would also be involved in hosting some comps or small events (like publicity events for vp maybe?)

1. Do you think there should be a limit to the number of teams a person is on? If so, what do you think that number should be? - i don't think there should be limits but people could still aim to be only on one or two teams unless they're particularly good in everything that teams do 
2. On average, how much time do you think each of the teams spends on doing team related activities? - no idea, but i don't think they waste several hours a week (except designers, that requires a lot of time for sure) 
3. Other thoughts? - i'm really annoyed that ET gets all the competition outfits. they could be paid in some other way or then there should be an open voting for everyone (with the names hidden) and ET could participate too. and then i'd like there to be more of the prize outfits than 3 in zodiac competitions too, of course 
4. Do you have any questions for any of the teams? If so, for what team and what are your questions? - no i don't

nope! they aren't really a team in the same sense as the others.

1. On average, how much time do you spend each week doing team related activities for each team you are on? Depends on if I host an event or not. If not, probably under an hour. But if I do, I'll check around and post in the ET thread about it for hours a day if I need to. 
2. What's the hardest thing about being on each of the teams for you? putting time aside.. I'm a very busy person, I have work and am a full time student with lots of homework and I have personal things going on atm as well. I'm pretty stressed, ngl. a little bird told me I could have been a moderator, but I figured one team would already be pushing me a bit. and I prefer and think I am better with ET, so here I am. 
3. Where would you like to see the teams go in the next several months? I want to see more collaboration between teams. like, I've noticed several teams host competitions now, which I feel like is the entire point of having the ET.. I feel like there should be communication there and we could just host the events for them (they can judge if they want, it's whatever, ET can just be the figure head). I feel like it is a little confusing for some members to have so many teams hosting things when that's what the ET was created for, y'know? 
4. What other things would you like the members of VP to know about you and the teams you are involved with?

only on ET, but ..

- We don't decide based off of usernames. I know when I place my votes for entries, I just copy and paste the outfit and don't even look at the username. If I'm the host, I have to go back to the thread and see who the person is usually before I can announce the winners lmao. 

 - With people saying teams are exclusive, I can kind of see what they think that since some people have several badges. However, I am not sure of this. For example, I hosted ET apps back in 2014. Chandelier applied and her account was only a few days old and I had NO idea who she was, never saw her before. But her app was excellent. So we accepted her. As you can see, that paid off as she is still a member on the team and has contributed a lot.

- With people being on multiple teams.. as long as they can keep up and don't slack off with any of the teams, I don't care. If they wrote a good enough app for one team, they probably managed to do so again. 

- We get the outfits for the time and effort we put into the team.. yes, maybe one or two people hosted that particular competition, but does that mean all the other members should not get rewarded for all the other competitions they host? I personally have only been hosting credit competitions so far, so I would have nothing as opposed to other ET members. plus everyone would want to host those specific competitions lol.

Your last point really have me perspective, ty.

also the questions:
1. Do you think there should be a limit to the number of teams a person is on? If so, what do you think that number should be? As long as you can handle everything and don't do things sloopy just to be in the team, then no. But for the sake of people not taking more work than they can handle, then maybe 2.

2. On average, how much time do you think each of the teams spends on doing team related activities?
It problaly depends, but atleast 1 hour a day (ofc some peeps will spend 5 hours one day and none next day, but u get me)

3. Other thoughts?  Keep up the good work! 

4. Do you have any questions for any of the teams? If so, for what team and what are your questions?
Open question to all teams: what's the best with being in your team(s) ?

ok the only thing that has been annoying me a little, and im aware that it sounds a bit petty and jealous lol which isnt my intetion, is that the team members have all been getting a ton of exclusive items that end up being the most sought after items and going for extortionate prices. and like i understand that they do a lot of work and deserve to be rewarded bla bla bla but we have ended up in a situation where there is a bunch of stuff that loads of team members own and then like, three competition winners own. and the fact that there are so many of the same people on different teams doesnt help. it just feels like this little... club lol, like in the trading forum, and if ur not on a team (or spending loads of $$$ on credits) it doesnt feel like u really have a chance to be a part of this whole buying/selling community.  i hope i have phrased this well.

I honestly just want more writing competitions I know someone on events team said it doesnt get as much traffic as outfits but as the population is increasing there may be a new audience that enjoys such a contest...plus, not all of us has enough items to make award winning looks tbh 

by writing contests i mean poems / short stories not comments on a forum
