I hope there's a Secret Santa for songs...

i really struggle making scout-worthy art
i think there was one in the past, actually.

idk if @spadezer or @jacob hosted it, or if it was someone completely different that was hosting it, but it was definitely a thing at some point ?
I'm not Spade or Jacob, but I can confirm it exists as I've participated in the audio secret santa (both in 2021 and 2022).
If I recall, the hosts were different each year.

I've talked to Lich (one of the audio portal moderators) and asked if he was aware of anyone hosting it this year, but he doesn't seem to know. I haven't seen anyone mention the event yet, so I'm unsure if there's anyone hosting it.

I don't know if it'd be a good idea to merge both events into one (or if it's even feasible), so if no one steps up to host the audio secret santa and there's enough people interested in it, I'll probably try to host it myself or see if we can turn it into a server event in the Audio Discord server.
I remember Josh sayin somethin about trying to program an audio one in the future since the art one has the template and functionality already laid out ^^;

so it's definitely on the horizon, somewhere, just eventually :v
I took note of your statement. If Josh doesn't deliver. you will be held accountable and judged in NG court.

If this were to happen, you would only be able to receive presidential pardon from Tom Fulp himself, our lord and saviour.
Now pray to the Newgrounds gods that Josh will deliver.

I will also put @SingPiano on death row because I'm very cool and he's a big meanie >:(


you wish to be big as me

When you say "Scouted this year" does that mean, people who participated in the previous one no longer can enter and this is aimed for new newgrounders? I have participated every year so I dunno if I am getting this right?

We mean that this year, we are requiring that all participants have been scouted. Last year it was open to EVERYONE, and that got messy. If you are scouted on the art portal, you can join.

This may be a really dumb question, but how exactly can I tell if I'm scouted? I vaguely think I am but no idea at all. I can post to the art portal but I can't figure out where to look for a thing to tell me I'm scouted beside that? If I am tho I'm joining in.

Response to NEWGROUNDS SECRET SANTA 2023 2023-11-17 23:03:22


Man, I was really lookin' forward to joinin' this year, but I'm not scouted. I get why y'all have the rule in place, though

Hope those who participate have a great time!

Go to your art page then put "/tree" at the end of the address bar . Like so:

https://queenkami.newgrounds.com/art/tree

Takes you to your scouted page of people you have scouted recently. If you are not, an error page will come up saying "-username-

is not a member of the art portal". So youre pretty much golden! Go forth an spread merry! :D

Thank you for that, I was googling how to find it and all the ones I found they're like "Well DUH you should know you got the PM and accepted it!!" but i had been MIA from this site for like a year almost and forgot if I had been or not. No error on that link, tho, so I assume it's good-thank you again!

Response to NEWGROUNDS SECRET SANTA 2023 2023-11-18 00:47:54


I just wanted to redeem my secret santa this year but im descouted. i didnt manage to submit my gift in secret santa 2021 because im busy that time. Better luck next time na lang


So wait. How does one get rescouted after being descouted actualy. From what im understanding there shoud be a "scout this person" button when they are unscouted. But since i dont have that button i cant be rescouted. I can fully understand if this is to hinder being rescouted right after being unscouted. I understand thet i need to be at a certian skill threshold that im not currantly at. Thats what it means to be scouted. But if @PsychoGoldfish questioned me if im actualy scouted makes me question that there is supposed to be a scout button and im just experiancing a bug or somthing. So @TomFulp: how does one get rescouted actualy? And what is the prosess? Beacouse i am quite comused.

Sounds like fun. Although I have not understood all the instructions. Help me out a bit in the form of a cooking recipe.

Normally we frown on asking to be scouted, but I think we can stretch that rule just a bit in the spirit of the season. But let's just limit it to a single post of art links and not be obnoxious or we will have to enforce that rule.


Oi, alright then!

And if this thingie isn't good enought for a spontaneous scouting, then I hope I can still do as a "backup artist". Unless I need to be scouted for that aswell, which would be very very unfortunate.

I'm afraid I'll have to skip out this year too.


Have way too much shit on the plate right now, so I can't dedicate myself to anything. Plus I don't have a reference ready anyway.


Have fun yall!

I would guess so it's not flooded with people making accounts to get free art of their characters or more manageable with active users.

How do I make sure if I've been scouted? I remember being scouted but I can't remember how to.

Youre scouted. Go to your art page and put "/tree" in the address bar. example

https://grayfox74.newgrounds.com/art/tree

It brings you to your scouts page. (only scouted can scout others). If youre not, there will be an error page.

Welp... guess i can't participate this year, cause i'm not scouted due to somehow losing my scouting privileges.

RIP my Newgrounds tradition.

But... if someone out there would help me regain my scouting privileges just for this event, it would be very much appreciated.
