In general, my votes wouldn't have made much of a difference, especially since I would have given Mentu a high rating – I was even considering sending their song about the expedition myself. I also like the song about the Factory, though. As for what I submitted, I didn't send the song because of the memes. I had listened to it before, and at one point, I was surprised to find out that a snippet from another song I liked had turned into a meme.

Well, I dealt 1 damage to Revan, it happens. I'm sure he won't be offended. I said right away that it's nothing personal.

And Lokken won't mind losing 9.

Let me know if I made any mistakes.

Loken, you're awesome! Actually, I outsmarted myself during the voting. I should have voted for Kosh and Arandor based on pure logic.

I laughed at the suggestions people made about what my "character" would be for the experiment. I thought the image would be more straightforward, like everyone knows how enthusiastic I am about them. By the way, the animal in the picture isn't just any random cat; it's my beloved bunny, Bella, also known as Belka, also known as the Duchess, also known as Turkish-in-the-tub, also known as Cat-butt. And it's a bunny because she likes to tuck her front paws under her.
А, вот почему.

I'm a real enigma! I was sure that at least someone would guess at least one of the points, or at least associate me with the dwarf picture I once used in one of the games.

I thought the image of my "character" for the contest would be quite obvious, as everyone knows how enthusiastic I am about them.
I thought Nebok was just sending different variations of the sky for all the masquerade entries.

My masquerade logic for the color:
I didn't want to send an obvious color like red, white, or green, as that would be boring and unspecific. On the other hand, a precise digital code like RGB is overkill in terms of accuracy (who can boast about being able to distinguish DDFFAA from DCFFAA, or that they like one color more than another?). So, that leaves only shades named after some object. Considering various raspberry (heh), cherry (I could have sent that as a hint about washing in blood), and other colors, I quickly settled on lilac, as I really like lilacs (and after reading Pratchett's "Night Watch," I liked them even more). There is, however, a nuance that lilacs come in two colors, not counting white and rarer varieties, but I don't care.

Regarding the other two points, I already wrote to Revan, I'll just quote myself:
Author
Thinking about which animal to send.
I would either send a killer whale.
Or someone with very well-known and good relationships between individuals in a pair (like, for example, a turtle dove).
Or I was also thinking of a jumping spider.
But I settled on a dragonfly, as the aesthetics of its flight is just amazing, and combined with the beauty of the insect itself.
That is, if you can find analogs for the other animals with the same logic (jumping spider = some other hairy, cute spider, killer whale = some other dolphin, like a bottlenose or river dolphin), then dragonflies are top in their category.
Author
I have so many beautiful, fantasy-like things saved in all sorts of places.
That I didn't bother much.
Except that I ruled out options with warrior women, as that would be too easy.
By the way, yes, the character contest turned out to be unexpectedly difficult. I was stuck on obvious options, but it turned out to be more difficult, as people are sending entries that are suitable, but not obviously suitable

To be fair, aesthetically, I prefer the artwork of Plesena and Tox.

Well, I assumed that many mapmakers would see the obvious "Revan" and such, I just didn't think it would be so unanimous.

I have a picture of Revan in my folder, by the way. And in several variations, at that.

Here, it's more about the facial expression and the outfit than the hair color.

The fact that no one attributed the spider to Revan also surprised me a little. While the difficulty with other options is understandable, and I might have even chosen Lok myself for that image (it was about 50/50 for me), the spider is a completely obvious choice.

Wow. I didn't think the black color would be so obvious. Nor did I think the character would cause any difficulties.

Revan and Ment mimicked too blatantly. Revan even said that the masquerade was supposedly simple – he pointed out the most obvious options.

I was also a little surprised that no one attributed a spider to Revan. If the difficulties with other options are understandable, I myself might have put Loc on that picture (it was about 50/50 for me), but a spider is a completely obvious option.
For Ment, it is an obvious option. Even in the New Year theme, Ment sent spiders, while I only remember Revan saying something about arachnophobia.

I had a hard time choosing my favorite color because I like many colors. But historically, I've always liked yellow (one of my first PCs in the early versions was named "Yellow"), and since vague descriptions like "Yellow" or "Saturated warm yellow" are too vague, and I don't use artistic terminology because I mainly draw in digital art software, I decided to give a clear and precise designation for the color that makes sense to me. Revnue even sent me a swatch with it.

Ment's art style is such that one might even think someone is mimicking him. My only concern was whether it was "too obvious." But I would still have chosen it, with a good chance.

I even thought that the post I wrote in the thread might give me away a bit, making it easier for the other participants to guess. But the words about doppelgangers, apparently, didn't stick in anyone's memory.

Revan also considered the goblin task to be simple...

Well, I agree with Alex, Revan has always expressed arachnophobic sentiments. It turns out, this applies to not all spiders, as he explained.
And the fish was some kind of Southeast Asian fish; I figured the person who sent it was a fan of local fauna or sushi (although sushi isn't made from freshwater fish, but who knows).
