The giant flower background items? One of them came with the Chinese opera suits they sold for real money last month and the other came with a suit during the last big event. Don't remember if that suit was from spending real money or dumping diamonds into the event though.
Tl;dr: :10bux:

Also, saw this on the LN subreddit the day

Gotcha. Seems like any opening gets a lot of applications now, so I’ll update the OP to let people know to make a post like this.

I'm having an awful, no good, bad work day but at least I'm doing the best I ever have in any competition?? I don't like the choice of dress but Everytime I chose a more subtle one I'd only get up to 70% or something stupid like that :/


EDIT: As soon as I say that I start dropping in percent. Please why?! I'm too scared to resubmit.

You'll almost always drop some, because there are a significant amount of people who just resubmit, either not changing their outfits or making them a little more like the top 20, until they luck into the top X%. You should really fight the feeling that your percent judges how well you did at something, because your percentage can turn out wildly different without changing anything about your submission, andthe final results end up measuring something much weirder than an aesthetic contest.

My previous submission in this contest had me in top 22%, I changed the hair and resubmitted to make it to top 1%, then has been dropping slowly since.

I don't mean to take away from the feel-good of achieving a new personal best, just don't want people to feel bad as they watch their percentages drop.

Edit: That submission is super pretty!

It's pretty funny seeing those who stuck to the first theme vs those who changed it to the new one.

my entry for the first theme got me into the top 1% and it's only dipped a couple of percentage points since then, the dev team will have to take this score from my cold dead hands

My roommate convinced me to resubmit bc it's stamina time. I did ten minutes ago and am terrified. What if I've ruined my chance at 15 more crystal roses!! :argh:

Edit; ok I immediately got to 38% so when my ten minutes is up in will resubmit with better make up because I forgot to change it. 1.5 hours of high traffic should be enough...

Why exactly did the theme change the other day? From the flower one or whatever it was to Astral Clocktower.

The current one is basically just 'put on your super agent set: the contest' I've been seeing an amazing number of women who would be really, really bad at hiding the fact that they're spies.

Maintenance(? maybe just patching) resets the competition theme, there was a post somewhere about it. I somehow still ended in top ~10% for that one despite never actually changing to the new theme. Top 1% on this one despite going lazyass super-agent-with-different-hair-and-Iron-Willed-Whip because I was at work on break when I remembered to set it up, I guess there's a pretty sizeable contingent of people that just vote according to who did it "right" and not how interesting the outfit is.

Yep I've tried like 4 different outfits trying to do something interesting and I'm currently top 80%...guess it's time to throw on the same outfit as everyone else

So, under the assumption that I'm ever able to get my account back, is there a way to bind my account that doesn't involve facebook? Like, can I just use an email or something?

Uh...my account seems okay, but I don't have Facebook and I'm terrified now, what do?

I'm using BlueStacks, maybe there was a delay in the update going through? I really really don't want to lose my pretty clothes but loving hell, I'm 34 years old and have stubbornly refused to ever have a Facebook account at any point in my life and I'm not about to start now.

Just went poking around and apparently this update didn't go through for Android accounts yet? So ugh, I don't know, maybe I will tomorrow. Either way at least I haven't been playing as long as some of the other people who I'm sure lost hundreds of their prettiest princess dresses.

They must have fixed things. I'm able to log in again on Android. Can't bind a mail account if it contains a period before the @, so I had to make a throwaway.

In any case, I applied to join the Suede Stasi. User ID "Oren Rayer."

If you're using gmail then periods before the @ are entirely cosmetic. abc@gmail.com is the same as a.b.c@gmail.com.

This does not apply to all e-mail providers but does for gmail.

Is there any point to furnishing a house? Like, does it get you anything but a cute house to look at?

I seem to have acquired like 1200 of those tickets for it somewhere but that whole area of the game is just kind of of meh for me.

No, as far as I'm aware, it doesn't feed back into any other systems. Once I realized your clothes didn't even appear on your doll in your house it started seeming pretty pointless to me.

How to cock it up, Fig. I

Oh my god, I didn't realize there was an SA thread here. I'm so excited to have people to share dresses with and complain about naked cash grabs. I'd love to join the association, do I have a cooldown timer if I leave my current one?
Also, how do I remove people from my friend list? I'd actually like to give stamina to goons :3:
