User talk:Jacobearth/Stringers v.s Splatanas

My team!

Hey there! Saw that the page got started on work, and I wanted to put my team in now, I'll be team Stringers! Thanks, friends!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

What if the date for the fest was around December holiday? That way people have more time / can actually play? I know I can't play until then (grades) so yeah. Xan 01:28, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Yep, the Inkfest will take place on December 27, 2022. Jacobearth • chit-chat 00:25, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Can I join team Stringers? YOLO2020 02:35, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Of course you can! Jacobearth • chit-chat 00:25, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I would also like to join team stringers because i am a reef-lux 450 main, or at least i was until the 2.0 update dropped because now tenta missiles has a cooldown. May i ask what time this inkfest will be starting? Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 19:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

It'll start 27 December, I dunno what time.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 22:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Might be able to join

Hi, can I join the Inkfest? I am not sure if I will be able to play because of time zones (I am in AEST), but if I can join, can I go on team Splatanas?  GX_64 (talk)  10:03, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

I would love for you to join! Also, even if you can’t play, your vote will still count under popularity. Jacobearth • chit-chat 00:25, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Should I add a link to the inkfest (general) page for upcoming inkfest s?

There isn’t a link in the upcoming inkfests. Unless that’s because we don’t have any time preparations, so that’s why I asked Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂) 01:12, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Sure! I’d be down for that! Jacobearth • chit-chat 00:25, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

S3, right?

If I've interpreted correctly, this Fest will be sometime during winter break, and in Splatoon 3? Just asking! I also have a kind of limited schedule, so my presence might be limited. (I'm normally online at 12:00 - 3:00 PDT.)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 01:12, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Yep, you’re right. This inkfest will 100% be held in S3 and will be hosted the 27th of December. Jacobearth • chit-chat 00:25, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

what is an inkfest

um I don't know what an inkfest is Flamescope (talk) 08:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

An inkfest is a tournament held by an Inkipedia user. It is free to do and you can do it too. You just need the right time , time zone, team, rules and so on.

Hope this helps, ink safe. Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂) 12:06, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Team Stringers, Coordinate Weapons!

Come, Team Stringers! Let us coordinate which weapons we use on our team for the maximum amount of winning likelihood! Team stringers shall dominate, and we shall do it through strategy! Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 19:57, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

In contrast to my team, probably the Classic Squiffer or the Inkbrush.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 22:53, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

I would, but I don't know how xd. Jacobearth • chit-chat 22:58, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Specialized in these weapons for me: Inksplosher, Sloshing Machine, E liter (kinda) and the N-zap Chrome Wolf (🎙, 🗂) 12:47, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I have made a list of weapons we should use for optimal chances of victory based on kits, main weapon, and weapon roles. (please remember that team stringers can only use long-range weapons). .96 gal Tenta brella Reef-lux 450 Forge pro Sloshing machine heavy splatling Splattershot nova Ballpoint splatling You can suggest other weapons to use. Cruelty to Salmons (talk) 15:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Does Squiffer count as long range? If not, I'll probably use another charger or maybe a splatling. Never thought we'd think this far ahead, but that's kinda cool. Also Chill Season tomorrow!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 15:44, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I am going to stick with my main, the Tri-Stringer. I feel very confident with this weapon. Hope my decision here doesn’t make any of you mad. YOLO2020 15:27, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I going to use my main, the Forge Splattershot Pro. I know on the list it only said the regular Splattershot Pro, but I assumed it would be ok because it's only a reskin. -Ink Me Up!

Time?

How long does the fest last? It starts on a Tuesday for me, but I can't play then.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 17:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

How long does it last?

Does it last more than one day, or is it just the 27th? I can't play all day, because of school, but what are the EXACT times is my question? Thanks! Also, down for Team Stringers! Ink Me Up! (talk) 15:29, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm putting down a sensitive timeframe of 2/3 hours that will be subject to change, bc there seems to be no actual decision making. Xan 15:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I might be able to hop on between 5:00 to 8:30 PM, just saying. -Ink Me Up!

Actually, I have vacation on the 27th, so yeah, I can hop on any time between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Ink Me Up! (talk) 19:11, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Do I have to keep track?

Of my inkpoints + wins, I mean. Also, are all the inkpoints on a team factored into a total score(this is my first Inkfest, btw)? And can I use the Forge variant of the Splattershot Pro? Sorry, so many questions... thanks though! Ink Me Up! (talk) 15:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

No, I believe that @Jacobearth will keep track of those - I think taking screenshots after each battle and adding it up later. Yes, all the inkpoints will go towards a team score. And yes, you can use the f-pro. Xan 16:38, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Also, please make sure that you sign all comments with 4 tildes like this ->(~ ~ ~ ~) just make sure there are no spaces in between them. Thanks! Xan 16:41, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks! I don't know how to upload screeshots, so i'll just keep track. Promise I won't cheat. Ink Me Up! (talk) 17:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh, wait, nvm. I see what you mean about screenshots. I'll do that. Or just get a piece of paper and write it down. Ink Me Up! (talk) 17:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

You don't have to upload screenshots. Jacobearth or I (I like to think of myself as half in charge this) can review them after. No need to upload anything. Xan 17:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, sorry about the late response. I will be keeping track of the inkpoints, and will take screenshots of every match's stats. Jacobearth • chit-chat 17:20, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Wait... do we play all together? I thought this was just random matches. This is my first Inkfest. I really don't know how stuff works. Ink Me Up! (talk) 18:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Yes, everyone will be in a private battle. Now I understand your confusion, lol. This is my first inkfest too - don't worry. Actually, worry, as team Splatana will DECIMATE! Xan 18:17, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh really? You might wanna get going on team coordination then, Team Stringer's already gettin' on it. Hehe, just kidding! But seriously, Team Stringer is already strategizing. Either way, good luck to everyone participating! Don't let your aggressive play style get to your head. ;)   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:32, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Well it's just me and gx vs. you five. Makes it easy to coordinate. Speaking of which, I don't feel as if it would be fair as 4 v 2 in battles, so maybe you could rotate in and out so only 3 people or so are in at a time? Thanks, Xan 18:35, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, I was thinking about rotating out occasionally too. Thought it would be unfair if there was a numbers advantage. Also, about the coordination thing, I was half-joking. Maybe I could fill in for team Splatanas if I get permission?   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:48, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Numbers advantage

(This message is meant for @Jacobearth) Hi! I have a small question, since there are more people on team Stringers than team Splatanas, do you think I could fill in as an occasional member of team Splatanas, if necessary? I dunno, just thought it sounded cool and wanted to ask. Thanks!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I can leave my input (if wanted later) Xan 19:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I believe that we can just spectate people, but we’ll see what happens. Jacobearth • chit-chat 21:30, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

I’ll be willing to spectate some matches. ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 12:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

==I mean, you're gonna have to. I believe the question is of who will be joining our (superior) team occasionally for matches. I think it should be Jacob and Vaki, but that's just my opinion. Xan 12:48, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, here's the thing though, I might not participate if the fest is only a day. I also like that nickname. Never heard anyone call me that before.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 16:22, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Winning Quotes/Losing Quote

Hi guys, I thought this would be cool. Everyone on the winning team puts their quotes on how they felt about the Inkfest/cool experiences in the Inkfest. Losing team would do the same. Just an idea I thought I'd put out there. Ink Me Up! (talk) 19:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

That actually sounds super cool! I would love that!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:55, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Ditto! Xan 19:58, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! Honestly, I thought it would be pretty controversial. I just want to get the OK from Jacobearth. Ink Me Up! (talk) 20:26, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Honestly, I like this idea a lot, but I already agreed with Octoling E s3 (remember, this is an infest collab with them) that there would be something like idol dialogue between me and them. I’ll ask them if we can do this, but if not, maybe next time! (I will be hosting Inkfests after this.) Jacobearth • chit-chat 21:42, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Honestly would sound pretty fun. ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 21:44, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Oh, yeah! I totally forget that the idols introduce the Splatfests, lol. Yeah, idol diolouge sounds cool, too! (Mention the fax machine, plz mention the fax machine) Ink Me Up! (talk) 12:26, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

(If) at times,

(If) at times, if I am chosen to fight for team Splatanas (but still fight for Stringers) due to uneven players, do I play with short range or long range? ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 12:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure you'd play for splatana, but you'd play short range. Xan 12:55, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Understood ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 12:56, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

MODES!

Because things aren't set out in stone, I had an IDEA (way out of the ordinary for me). What if, every fourth battle, we did a ranked battle that was worth, I don't know, but 3 wins maybe? Maybe those battles wouldn't affect inkpoints, they're just worth 3 battle wins? Then we would have a definitive 16 battles (all on random maps), going

3x Turf War

1x Rainmaker

3x Turf War

1x Clam Blitz

3x Turf

1x Splat Zone

3x Turf

1x Tower Control

What do you think?

Xan 12:59, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Love the idea! ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 23:09, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Can't participate, but...

Hey there! Sorry, but considering the date this is set for, I won't be able to join... I will host another Inkfest of my own later this month though! For a sneak peek, the theme will be Fruits vs. Veggies (idea originally from the wonderful @Xandpochondria-san!) Just wanted to let y'all know! Thanks!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:28, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, I can't participate unless the current date set changes.   ArivakiVA   (talk) 19:36, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

I will mark you for not playing. Don’t worry, your team still gets points for popularity. ℂ𝕙𝕣𝕠𝕞𝕖 𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗 (🎙) 23:07, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Aw, thanks, friend! I appreciate it! Maybe I can still do a winning/losing quote if we happen to do one? The only reason I can't participate is my schedule, but I could probably plan a quote!   ArivakiVA   (talk) 18:21, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
