[Suicune's Fire]

@Vishnal - I get where you're coming from, but given the effort that's gone into it and how much other people have been enjoying it (and how happy that makes the organisers), saying you "despise" it is a little disheartening. That's an extremely strong word. This event is meant to be about friendship, love and kindness--not something to be despised. There is nothing wrong with participating even if you don't know anyone. I've given people a Valentines simple BECAUSE I knew they were participating. And you still got one, even though you weren't participating! That's pretty good for an event that's 'despicable.'

Just know that whether or not you participate is your choice. Yes, I get that this event is based on people you know, but that's not always true--I know for a FACT that I have gotten a Valentine or two from people I have never spoken to outside this event. You could easily have participated and then received some, as well as sending some--you know, just to pass around the love. I think that being forced to send a Valentine out is sort of pointless since EVERYONE who has participated in this event - and even people outside it - have gotten a Valentine. You've gotten a Valentine. So essentially, you're suggesting something that already happened, except that you're not assigned anyone for this. The point is the freedom.

I know I sound salty and yes, maybe I am a little, but I think that you could easily have joined. If you must know, I would 100% have sent you one by now if you had joined, because that was something Sarah and I discussed--that everyone who participates WILL end up getting one. So in a sense, you could create your own Valentine by sending some to others and even simply posting in the thread. We will keep your thoughts in mind for the future, though, because obviously it is a lot more fun if everyone feels like they can join.

If there had been a notice on the thread saying "Please join in even if you don't know anyone, because you will still receive some Valentines and be able to send some out," do you think that would have been more inviting/prompted you to join? It certainly wasn't meant to sound like an exclusive event. That's certainly not what we were aiming for! So I'm sorry if it didn't seem inviting. =/ But never be afraid to take part, because at PXR, we want everyone to join in! 8D
