Event Feedback!
What I liked about the Mythology March Raffle: That it was a raffle to be honest- I loved the winter raffle as well because everyone can participate and there's so much excitement in the community! The theme was so creative, you guys keep having the best ideas<333
What I didn't like about the Mythology March Raffle: I've seen a lot of comments about the prompts not providing enough advantage and I agree somewhat, but it's more than that. I think that in a raffle setting it's unfair to ask for any complex or difficult prompts because there's a huge chance that someone will win who did nothing at all except post, meanwhile there were a lot of people that made artwork or wrote long stories and they didn't win. I think the real issue is that the prompts themselves need to be simpler, not that they need to provide more tickets. Because the issue would still be the same, that someone who does nothing but post can win over someone that makes complex entries.
What I would change/improve on next time: I think extra raffle ticket prompts should provide one extra ticket but only be simple art like doodles, sketches or headshots and written prompts need not be longer than 100 words. (and less complex, like, drawing a horse in battle armor isn't very simple even if it's a sketch) For contests where you're encouraged to put in work I think it should be similar to the art exchange raffle where there is no freebie ticket option and everyone participating is putting in the same amount of effort.
I was also very torn about the amount of equids we could try out for, only four out of fourteen. I agree with Cammeraugepony that at least some limit helped people focus on what equids we would actually connect with, but it was crazy difficult picking 4 out of 14, I definitely loved at least half the designs.
all in all a really great idea that probably just needs a tweak. i seriously look forward to the next events you guys cook up!
