- Yeah, I loved that combo so much, I recycled it with some of the other colors of the scarves too. But alas, can't really be used anymore since they revamped the oracle wing, there isn't really anything else that fits the same profile as the old one.

- Lol, yes I do. What gave it away?? Those avatars are from 2010-2012; before skins existed; back when there wasn't any other choice except to cure.. I've been wearing foot rash so long I've basically forgotten how to dress anything else.

That makes sense. I also wore Fungus all year longXD, because I wanted to go to the Alchemist anytime.

- I never trusted that the zapper skins wouldn't remove my zombie skin so I never did it. There were the liquid latex and stuff too, but I never bothered with that sort of thing.

Agh, sorry for replying so late. You can definitely save them for insp, sure! I tend to try and make OCs out of my outfits sometimes, though, so I'd prefer if they weren't straight copied =D

Man, loving all the outfits here too ;;O;; I wish I had more time to just fiddle around and make things.

of course! My HAs run the gamut from cute to casual. I rarely encroach to gruesome or scary. Everyone has their particular style :-)

End of Survival summary just like last year!

Last year I had plans to get Love Sucks, Queasea, Bubble Jelly, and Death Roe with the new strains. Thanks to the late start plans changed and I had to switch out Death Roe for Wrapture since it had less stages. Now I only have 8 stagers remaining.

The strains I need to get next year in order of least to most members!

Death Roe Death Slug Cryomorph

Cryomorph remains the most popular strain of these. Now I am in every group with less than 100 members.

I resolved last year to get a new strain this time so I could have fun watching it unfold with everyone else and I achieved it. I got Death Grip which was another coincidental achievement since it was the most rare this year and I always prioritize the most rare.

This year I ended up getting Death Grip, Transmewtation, Threadful, Mistery Meat, Queasea, Wrapture, Love Sucks, and Bubble Jelly.

Without the extension, I would have failed to get Bubble Jelly this time. So if time allows it next year, it will be the year of completing my collection.

Also this year, I took my zombie skin category from my gallery, and dedicated a pet to it. It's become a visual guide to what I have and a love letter to NVLB. (And also a 12 year long dream to have a graveyard ghostly)

oh that's nice. wait you are just missing 3 Skins!! so next year you'll have all for sure! LOVE the pet!!! the name really fits XD

This year i've managed to get 9 Strains Ikupox, Deathgrip, Transmewtation, Mistery Meat, Threadful, Angler, Heartburn, Freckle Fever and now incubating Virus

i could not have gotten 9 without the weird 2 stage skip from Heartburn giving me enough time to squeeze in Freckle Fever and get infected a couple hours before midnight on the last day!

so i'm missing 4 skins, hoping i can get them all next year + the new ones Ant Agony, Dolly Dreadful, Escargloom🍃 and Muerte Fuerte

thanks! And yeah I can't believe there's only 3 left for me. I love The Skin Collector's name because it sounds really ominous but it's just a helpful little NVLB volunteer :3

Weren't you also lucky by getting Ikupox from the glitch on the first day when no one else could get in? XD

You're very close to catching me!!! I'm definitely not the only one who will be finishing next year. I can't believe you don't have 🍃 yet.

Yea 2 glitches and i got lucky on both XD i didn't even get right in, the VIP was down when i got online and somehow in the couple minutes window of it being seecretly up without announcement i got to click on the random new strain, instant infection button. and GOT THE ONLY ONE FROM LAST YEAR THAT I DIDN'T HAVE!!

i might not have 🍃but i do own the group 😂

i think Jess is also going to have all skins next year!!

Assuming there's enough time to get 8 again next year, and they introduce 4 more, I'll be 2 short of having them all next year. Maybe I'll be able to get more next year though, I am only missing 1 8 stage skin, the rest are 6 and 7 stages!

I have gotten the short stick every time there's been a glitch, otherwise I might been able to have all of them next year D:

you are so freaking lucky XD you stole all of 's good luck. I was just sitting there like a grump on the glitch day with nothing.

KiaArra, I think you can get through more skins since you saved so many 6 and 7 stagers for last.

Mood. (also what good luck? I never had any of that to steal anyway :P )

I don't think 7 vs 8 makes enough difference for a whole skin during a 2 week event. Maybe we'll get more time next year.

XD so sorry for stealing all the luck for myself. i'm just hoarding it like a Dragon.🐉

i swear the "unluckiest" i've been is maybe a little delay as staff didn't put new skins in the wardrobe yet but also told us pretty fast we could remove them and it'll just be unlocked once they show in the wardrobe 😂 i think that was 2019 with the food theme

but i never had any issues that prevented me from getting as many skins as i would get anyways 🫰 like loosing a strain to a snowball entierly missed me and i'm so greatful. so many have lost a lot of progress back then.

, that's amazing! In (many) years, I'm sure I'll catch up to you x'D

And I LOVE your new pet! I was considering doing something similar with my lad Boneboy, but have an outfit/character design for each skin displayed =D I've tripped into a few designs I really like for some strains, so instead of just making a new one for each strain I have each year (which... is beginning to get overwhelming xD since I spend hooouuurrs on each one), I'm just going to have one character design for each and update accordingly with new items and things =D

Managed 7 skins this year (still incubating Virus), so that's pretty nice =w= Very happy to pick up some of the ones I've been inspired by since last year, like The Baker, Cachari and Hive Mind xD Already designed the six that have been completed =w= Quite happy with them. Just need to go back and tweak all the others I have from the previous years.

- And then for me, Heart Burn glitching worked out not in my favour, I had it timed to start my last one in the last 6 hours of survival, the 2 stages I got back from the glitch weren't helpful, I should have taken a different 8 stage one (the vapours) and it would have worked out better D: Even the good luck turns into bad luck! lol.

That is a great pet name :)

I had a good survival. If my Gummy Squirm is ready I have 8 skins this year. Then Except for 3 vials I'm complete till 2021, only need 1 from 2022 en everything from 2023, 2024 and then 2025 :)

yep also completely missed me XD

oh no that really didn't go in your favor 😭

i even had a 50/50 chance of getting Heartburn or Muerte Fuerte as i asked for both XD

... Got hyperfocused on this all night & spent so much SP on new items to fuel my character design cravings. I need to go to bed >>; Making designs & editing layouts is too much fuuuun...

Gonna draw all these characters eventually... =3= And also finish designs for the skins I have but don't have pictures yet P:

-crawls off to my grave-
