is feralsoren still a moderator on your site? i'd love to join but as soon as i saw that someone associated with ezra/toonimal/the pro-pedophilia site they run was an operator, i lost interest. i love the idea of a profic art game, but not one that supports the idea that children can consent.
FeralSoren is no longer associated with CreativeClash.
Furthermore, we do not condone promoting, performing, or advocating for pro-contact activities of harmful behaviours such as that.
did this shut down? the website is offline
CreativeClash is still going! Our website is currently down due to maintenance but it will be back up soon!
Hi there, plural/system member here. I'm not here to ask about multiple accounts, rather I would like to know where alters would fall under the definitions of "original" or "canon" character. Here are my main clarification questions:
- Are completely original alters considered 'real people' and unable to consent to their likeness being used?
- Are fictional introjects allowed, and do they have to be substantially different from canon?
- Are factives completely banned because they are based on real people?
Hey thank you for your question!
Alters using their likeness is fine, it would be treated like someone using a self insert essentially, which is okay under our rules. It would have to be drawn/written/3d model etc reference though, no body selfies, due to our rule on photos.
For the purposes of clash, we ONLY judge the characters and such uploaded to the game, not who is using them. For this reason, ANY characters submitted to the clash must follow our rules as they are being treated as characters. That includes the no canon character rule, and we can't allow real people to be featured as characters, or drawn for points in general.
When will team signups open!
Sign-ups will open early August! We're aiming for August 1st, but we will announce when people are able to sign up for teams. In the mean time you're welcome to join the site and get your character hubs sorted! :3
yo!! im aware y'all have a point system for canon characters if u make selfship art or art featuring canon characters as well as ur opponents characters- and i was wondering if y'all would consider rpf selfship type stuff like. in a similar vein? like would a real guy celebrity in the rpf way be considered a "canon character to real life" or something, given that theyre drawn with someone in ur opponents hub?
We're sorry, this wasn't something we had considered before so we have made this clearer within our rules now.
Characters involved in submissions must be fictional characters, either canon or original.
We don't have issue with anyone who indulges in real-person fiction (RPF), however for the event we don't allow submissions involving real people. We do allow pairings involving characters from live action media, but not the actors portraying them.
I know OCs based on canon characters are allowed, and OCxCanon submissions are allowed, but what about AUs of characters? Where would something like that fall? Thanks!
We're in the process of working on our sliding scale of AU characters, where we show what we consider to be an AU of a canon character and what is different enough to be considered original for the sake of points.
At the moment, the general ruling is that the AU character must be different enough from the source material to be considered original, and is done on a case-by-case basis. If it isn't different enough, this is just considered a canon character for the sake of points.
You're welcome to contact us via any of our communication methods to ask if your character AU is considered canon or original until we have our guide in place!
hi hello hey can I eat your event?
Please don't eat us, we're not good for your tummy
I understand that CreativeClash is 18+, and that is fine with me.
I’m curious on what it is about. Like, is it ‘similar’ to ArtFight but can it have 18+ content? Or is it a bit different? Also is it ok to have the same username as similar places one is on?
I’m interested in joining. Thanks in advance.
We apologise for the delay in this answer! We've not been checking RS as often as we should.
We are similar to AF in that we are a competitive creative event where the goal is to create content of the characters of someone from the opposite team. The difference is that we only allow 18+ participants, we don't have any content restrictions, and we allow more than just art/illustrations for submissions.
You're welcome to use whatever username you like for our site regardless of what you call yourself elsewhere.
Hi there!
Not to be accusatory, but I saw some claims that your team allows people with unsavory preferences and poor moral standing, and/or or worse. This is a main concern for me as I have no telling if that can cause significant trouble for everyone involved, myself included. It would be appreciated if you can clarify and debunk such claims.
Thank you for reading!
I'm not sure what you mean by 'unsavory preferences and poor moral standing' without further context.
If you mean fictional material: We are anti-censorship, and as such, we allow all fictional content! We ask our users to tag things appropriately so that people are aware of what it involves and may choose whether to interact with it or not. We do not judge people for their tastes in fiction.
If you mean IRL activities or preferences: We do not allow anyone into our space that we are aware has, or wishes to, cause(d) harm to others, whether that be IRL or online.
How do you come up with the team names?????
We ask our community! We get suggestions for team names all the time and the ones which the Mod team think would work well are then kept on a list for each event.
We then ask everyone on the Mod team to pick their faves. The top 4 faves then go to a public vote, and the winner is what ends up being the teams for the Clash.
Chaos/Order was actually on the voting polls for the last two times we ran but never won. It finally gets its time to shine now!
how many events have you had so far? ive heard some people say 2 but others say more so im confused
We've held two main events and two mini events. The main Clash events are what we advertise here, and the mini events are only advertised on our Discord and site. So technically we've had four events!
We use the mini Clash to test out new rules or features before we implement them in a main Clash, which is why we only advertise them within the community.
The mini Clash typically runs in March while the main Clash runs Aug/Sept
How many users have signed up in all of your events?
We had around 120 in our first main event, and 190 in our second main event. We have also run two 'mini' events which had between 70-80 participants each.
i'm sorta... content-neutral for the most part. i don't think people should be harassed for the content they make/consume, but i also don't like most taboo content personally. very much don't like don't read. do you think this would be a conflict of ideals with creativeclash?
Not at all! This is very much in line with our ideals! We believe people should be able to explore and create any fictional content they want, but that doesn't mean everyone likes the same thing. "Don't like don't read" is very much a stance we take too, which is why we ask everyone to add tags and content warnings to their work so people can avoid the things they don't want.
Sorry for asking a weird question but do you think it's true that members need to hide their participation in creativeclash if they also participate in AF? Just curious because I hear some CC participants are being harassed
We're aware some users don't state they take part in CC out of concerns for harassment. We don't feel people need to do so, however everyone has their own comfort levels and concerns for safety, and we don't judge people who feel they need to hide their participation.
do you have to be in the discord to play? also, is there any point playing if you don't want NSFW attacks at all? like, will people still attack you or will you just get ignored?
You don't have to be in the Discord to join. You just need to be on the forum!
We have plenty of users who don't want or don't create NSFW content, so if you only want SFW content that's perfectly fine. The majority of our submissions are actually SFW!
