Chapter 286

Chapter 286. Ero Renaissance. (2)

I had no idea things would blow up this much.

Honestly, I thought there would be, at most, a few dozen or hundred posts.

How could I have expected that thousands of gentlemen would flock to me after saying, “I’m in^^”?

And the biggest problem is, this was just something I casually mentioned.

It wasn’t an actual “event” where I had to prepare anything.

Since there was a high chance of getting collectively roasted (in a different way than Raksha), I thought about it for a moment.

After deleting a few posts from troublemakers who got reported, I decided to post an explanation in the gallery.

Title: Guys, I think you’re misunderstanding something.

Author: Icarus

This isn’t some event.

There’s no reward.

[Picture of my mailbox, over 20,000 unread messages combined.jpg]

And if this many come in, I can’t sort them alone.

Stop it, even if many participate, there’s nothing I can give.

Comments:

– [Wait, it’s not an event?]

– [I thought it was a competition, but it’s just something you mentioned in passing?]

– [Ehehe]

—————————————–

And the intention behind my post, to be honest, was…

“Enough with the madness, I’ve already got plenty of enticing images.”

But unfortunately, whether this is a misfortune or not, our jokester friends seemed quite determined to lighten the tense atmosphere of clans backstabbing each other.

Seeing me trying to hit the brakes, they immediately tore the brakes off with their reactions.

So if we offer rewards, Ero Renaissance will get even more hype?

Let’s gooooooooooo!

– [Smart guy]

– [That’s exactly it]

– [This gallery’s public sentiment is on fire]

Title: “Stop it! There are no rewards!”

“Got it.”

– [These guys are going all out just because Icarus said there’s no reward LOLOLOL]

– [But why are they throwing rewards around like this?]

– [Lewd stuff is a serious matter] (Author)

—————————————–

Right away, they created a separate open chatroom in the gallery titled “Ero Renaissance Sponsorship List” and started stacking up sponsored items as if they were organizing rewards on their own.

Title: Made a temporary clan for Ero Renaissance sorting ㅇㅇ

Author: Vermouth

Content: [Picture of a clan named “Ero Renaissance Sorting,” clan chat titled “Ero Renaissance Reception (?),” and proof of about 110 clan members.jpg]

ㅇㅇ

Send stuff here from now on.

Just so you know, to ensure fairness and prove this isn’t for clan promotion, I made the clan in the Central Zone so no one suspects anything stupid.

Comments:

– [So sincere]

– [What is this even about?]

– [If you make a clan with more than 10 people in the Central Zone, solo players will try to hunt you down]

– [So it’s a temporary clan that’ll disband automatically after this event ends ㅇㅇ]

– [Ah, I see]

– [But what’s the criteria for sorting?]

– [If it’s too low quality or overlapping, the first one gets priority and the rest are excluded] (Author)

– [But isn’t this something Icarus, who started the event, ordered?]

– [It’s an Ero costume contest, right?]

Then shouldn’t there at least be a piece of cloth to cover the body?](Author)

-˪[That’s true]

—————————————–

Randomly, users who even categorize things for others, not stopping at creating their own Temporary Clan.

<Vermouth is requesting a chat with you!>

<(Y)/N>

-[Dude]

-[Dude]

-[Just to confirm, they have to be wearing ‘clothes,’ right?](Vermouth)

-[?](Me)

-[And what about being completely naked or outright trolling poses? Should those be cut?](Vermouth)

-[Uh… just handle that yourself](Me)

-[Got it, got it. Oh, and sorry to ask again, but the Temporary Clan will be set up near you for a while](Vermouth)

-[???](Me)

—————————————-

Not sure what’s going on, but some crazy group is insisting on setting up near my Base for the sake of fairness and equality (?)…

As a result.

Title: Current Status of the Wristband Ero-Sense Contest.txt

Author: Vermouth

Content: [A promotional poster screaming for ero-costume enthusiasts to gather.jpg]

Current number of entries: Just over 20,000

Icarus said the contest would be too long and cause brain rot, so we’re limiting it to one week.

Since there are way too many entries, just a heads-up, this isn’t a lewd image contest.

Send in designed outfits, not naked pics, okay?

Also, if you send in Halcas, after the contest ends, we’ll all storm his Base, so keep that in mind.

Oh, and putting kids in micro bikinis or similar is a no-go.

That’s not Wristband’s call, but the mods will chop our heads off and permaban us.

Comments:

-[Finally, it’s getting organized]

-[This is how a contest should be]

-˪[Funny thing is, the person who started this never intended it to be a contest]

-[What’s the clothing standard?]

-˪[Anything beyond stickers or band-aids on sensitive areas is fine](Author)

-˪[What about exposing only the sensitive areas and covering everything else?]

-˪[Oh]

-˪[As long as it’s not directly exposed in the screenshot, it should be fine](Author)

-˪[If it’s too explicit, the mods will cut it down, so keep it clean, okay?](Author)

Seeing this turn into a full-blown, massive event with over 20,000 participants…

I started this just to casually collect ero-skins, but it’s grown way too big, and now I’m feeling the pressure.

I tried to pass the organizer role to Vermouth, the user who created the Temporary Clan, since there’s no need to send me emails anymore.

But…

Title: Handing Over the Organizer Role

Author: Icarus

I just wanted to casually enjoy this, but it’s gotten way too big.

So, I’m passing the organizer role to Vermouth, who’s already handling the clan and everything, and I’ll just sit back and watch.

Comments:

-[Wristband is trying to escape!]

-[The slave… talking back?]

-[You started it, so finish it]

-[Where do you think you’re running off to?]

You’re the one who started this.

Absolutely! Absolutely!

I’m not taking it, no way!!!!

Comments:

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Fulfill your duty as captain, man]

-[Escape failed LOLOLOL]

-[Even now, everyone else is helping with sponsorships and categorizing, but they’re all refusing to take the organizer role LOLOLOL]

-˪[LOLOLOL]

—————————————–

Unfortunately, since everyone refused to take the organizer role no matter what, my attempt to pass it on ended in failure.
