For those who didn't get what happened the last 30 hours or so. We had an impromptu event. The theme was decided about two weeks ago. Sit back as I poorly explain what happened. (if this thing will not post for no reason)

*yawn backstory* You an ignore this part if you wish. Go make yourself some tea.. and scroll down a paragraph or two.

For the new year I wanted to change the background layer of my "Emuouise" avatar to something different. Randomly I decided on Phantos. So I created the avatar with the animated background from SMB2/USA SMAS.

I also updated the one in my layout to match. So you get something like this:


A little bit of time later @KP complemented to me "the mischevious way Louise looks" with the phanto mask. He suggested a day later.. well "Why dosen't someone do a layout with Gene being chased by the phanto?" Than our wheels started to turn. and.. that's how it started.

While he was working on his layout I had started some coding on the board and came up with the event. This was the first time the board actually gave out badges. That seemed to work out...

Oh and if you haven't figured it out.. the "Phanto syndrome" is due to you having the key badge. This badge was obtained by clicking the SMAS SMB2 key sprite. There was a reason it said "and I think you should put it down..".

The sprites selected of course are due to the main theme of the event. "Phantos" and "Bob's Burgers". The sprites consisted of various phantos, the key, and the Belcher family.

I've restored the sprite system to normal. The Phanto syndrome will still be in effect for a short time. After that the Key sprite will no longer give out the badge. Everyone who participated will keep their badges.

I'm hoping start using the badge system more. Hopefully as soon as with the pending winter's mosts.

I hope you all enjoyed the silly event!
