I think the past 3 weeks completely broke me in terms of pageant. I'm tired of only seeing wolf with CA win, with the random first row wolf being placed. I don't want to make any effort anymore, I'm putting in a random wolf I have and only for the top row from now on. What's the point of even trying if the pageant has become p2w. I don't even want to participate anymore, but I can't miss the weekly shards.

Lol, my CA'd wolves aren't winning either. I've placed a whole once since late August. I'm starting to do the random pick thing myself as well because I'm just not willing to really put effort in picking anymore if I'm just gonna keep losing again and again no matter how pretty the wolf I put in was (I even stuffed in someone without CA and he lost too so I have no idea what is going on... maybe I just have bad taste haha).

Though tbh I'd hate it a lot less if it wasn't for the fact there are achievements for placing. I really wish there wasn't.

But yeah, in the long run only seeing CA wolves is getting a bit old. And I have tried anything I could with my wolves. Naked, with apparel. Another thing that is tiring is beginning the week with a set of apparel that I'm the only one to use on day one and ending with 5 other wolves having the same one at the end of the week and one of them placing. I really don't understand why the wolves aren't locked at entry.

I'm not seeing only CA wolves place. This past week in my pageant the 1st place went to a completely naked wolf, and the 3rd place was the same. Only 2nd place had any apparel at all. In this same week I had my very matchy Christmas themed ww (with CA) and he did not place at all. If any of them, mine would have been P2W and I got nowhere X3

I like @Shadowbanish 's idea of posting the winners so we can get a better picture of the variety of the placements. These were from last week (Nilak is mine). I'd say all three were fairly simple and it really just depends on the preferences of who is voting in that pool that week.

But yeah, I wouldn't really care if it weren't for the associated achievements haha

@Husky I'll do that next week with the wolves I could vote for, so we can get a better idea.

What I said is only representative of my feelings and my groups. For more than a month now for me every week there was at least one wolf with CA, more often than not 2 or 3. I understand it is not the same for everyone tho.

The idea of posting the winners of our brackets is very interesting. For mine last week : it's a pretty diverse podium !

1rst places : Aiye had a few apparels but no CA while ren does.

2nd places : Maura's only CA piece is the background, the other 4 apparels aren't. 1 apparel out of the 5 on Petra is big CA piece.

3rd places : Baphyra had a big CA piece out of 2 apparels while Adria doesn't have any CA, her two apparels being the leaves and glowing mushroom (the ones you can buy from Marvin).

My own entry didn't place, but the ones on the podium are all very pretty, so fair enough lol.

@Husky good catch, I hadn't noticed that ! Guess I will see tomorrow if there's more females than males entered in my pageant. I know I entered a female myself ^^

I've noticed tho, looking for a nice CA apparel for my male zerda, that often they will have the option for female, but not male. Left me quite a bit frustrated when the CA fitted perferctly with the theme, but oh well x) Maybe people do prefer the female versions of quite a few breeds.

Grats Ishmael!
