After giving it some thought, I’ve realized that a first-come, first-serve approach might not be the fairest way to handle commission openings. To ensure a more balanced process, I’ve decided to put it to a poll to see if a raffle system would be a better fit. This way, patrons from different time zones have an equal opportunity to secure a slot, and everyone has a fair shot regardless of when they submit.
It’s important to note that there will still only be 5 slots available, whether we go with FCFS or a raffle. Additionally, those in the Emperor Penguin Tier will receive an extra entry in the raffle, giving them a slightly higher chance.
I’ll provide more details based on the poll results before officially opening commissions. Thank you all for your support and for helping me shape a fairer system!
