i just saw these and imo it is kind of unfair to host several battles back to back (2 in this case) where you're the only entrant in this new format

its not like i hosted these specifically only for me. everyone cldve joined them. this one even had a warmup period of 5+ hours.
if noone else wants to join, i get the penalty of loosing the boons. thats fair.
someone else still has to vote on my submission, otherwise i dont get badge progress anyway. thats fair too.

there is no difference in how much effort i put into an entry if there are other entries or not, because while working on my entry, i dont know how many other entries there will be.

your comment, who is judging me or the battles based on something i cannot rly control (others participating) seems kinda unfair to me

fair if this one had a buildup of 5 hours like you said (i wasn't there so i'll take your word for it which well knowing you is gonna be correct lol), i didnt know someone else would have to vote for badge progress though so nevermind what i said

Yaya, u can check botb twitter or discord if u care about the 5hour warmup time, but anyway: the second one hosted after this one was because "oh well people voted on this one, so mayb there are more people around now for the next. I think one Person even started to look into it but gave up before finishing anything.

I waited with the next one (#4) for a few hours, because i actually care about having other entries too and want others in as well

that makes sense, sorry for jumpin the accusational gun like that
