Or we could pit the two most overused sona types against each other: foxes vs. dragons.

digitigrade vs. unguligrade :3

@Lil_VampireCJ
I pick Team Feral (I’m put off by hybrids at times)! And digigrade (unguligrade is fine too)!

Ferals VS Anthros or Digigrade VS Plantigrade sounds good. :P

Maybe I’ll finally have an excuse to upload the hundred CatNamedFish art I have saved for uploading.

Some advice for if you guys do make that a thing, a way to prevent low effort point farming would go a long way. I’ve seen mentions of recolors being abused for upload points on Derpi, and using AI/machine learning generated art is also an easily exploitable method of farming upload points.

Yeah, I think I’m in agreement that Furbooru probably needs this kind of event a bit more than Derpibooru, lol. Although, both won’t hurt in the long run! Well, it might put a dent in the site mods’ mental health… Alas! I guess it’s better to iron out the kinks first. 😅

Back in Derpibooru we’ve learned a lot with the event and are coming up with a more robust set of rules and better implementation in the site. If it works out nice we aim to make a model for an yearly type of event, not necessarily related to april fools.

I believe we’ll only roll it here once all that is iron out, so there will be a breathing period yes.

While I’m pretty neutral on the idea of a game overall I will say that it seems to be driving a lot of activity over on Derpi so that’d probably be a positive here.

Sounds like a fun idea, count me in.

Yeah exactly.

@Lil_VampireCJ
A fair point actually, not much happens here so might be worth doing to get people active.

I feel like it would be a good idea, especially for boosting the site’s activity and stuff. :)

I’m not sure I’d have much to contribute, but it sounds like it could be fun. Especially if the issues regarding image spam could be fixed a bit.

@Luna
Would I be correct in assuming teams would be randomly assigned? And if so, do you plan on offering (even temporarily) opportunities to switch to the other side?

@Luna
Maybe you can give it a day or a few days after Derpibooru ends to do the Furbooru. You could use the break from all the chaos in derpibooru.

If we run the game here, it’ll be adjusted a lot to not reward spam as much.

@JenniTheDragon
Honestly, I’m seeing that on Derpi (I had to report someone who was uploading art from artist on the DNP list and was telling someone to PM them for the source since they admitted that the image will be removed quickly).

What about votes equating points instead?

..so I have seen many, many team-based forum events like this play out on Gaia Online. It is going exactly the same way as those previous Gaia experiences over on Derpi right now, lol.

People will bump and spam nonsense posts literally anywhere on-site to aid their team and/or just for the prizes at the end of the event, haha. And, yes, while that absolutely gives the site a lot more activity and content, it also has the unfortunate side-effect of getting a ton of low-effort posts that people will barely tag just to get those sweet, sweet team points.

@Luna
I’ll volunteer for team scalie if we go with that.

@Nicelucario
Furry vs. Scalie is what I had in mind.

What would the sides be even? Furry vs Scalie vs Birdy? Night vs Day?

No to be honest. Boom of uploads actually make it inconvenient to appreciate the art.

Yes please. I’d happily join in.

Derpi certainly got a boom of uploads with the event.
