First time signing up for something like this! ;u; I KNEW Dave/John would be full already. Now I just hope that my first choice will make it in, because Gamzee<>Karkat isn't confirmed yet =u=;;;

[siadea]

I'm a little confused - if I signed up for, say, Dave<3Tavros and Aradia<>Tavros, would there be the possibility of my winding up aboard the USS Aradia<>Tavros<3Dave? Because I dunno about y'all, but I would be more than 0k with that.

[friendlypuellus]

Aradia<>Tavros<3Dave would be another team.

What happens is if your first pick is full, they'll look at your second pick, and then your third pick.

If you want Aradia<>Tavros<3Dave you'd have to sign up for it as such

[emmaaaa]

sobs would they consider eridan<3sollux to eridan<3<sollux? If yes then there goes my otp. ;-;

[wallwalker]

Eridan♠Sollux is a valid team.
Eridan♥Sollux is a different and also valid team. If enough people sign up for both of the two teams, they can both participate.
Eridan♠/♥Sollux (that is, Eridan and Sollux flipping from spades to hearts and back - quadrant vacillation) is NOT a valid team - they ask people to stick to one quadrant.

Does that help? I'm not a mod, but they've been fielding a lot of these questions on tumblr, so I've seen them answering them a lot. ^^

yeah!

[lacertae_dreamscape]

haha, first time participating AND created an account on here just because of this :D

[wallwalker]

I keep looking at this and wondering where Eridan<>Rose is, suddenly afraid that the team isn't open after all and has no chance of actually becoming an actual team, then scrolling down and seeing it near the end of the list.

Just did that for the fourth time now. Clearly I should sleep. XD

[portaling]

Don't worry, Eridan <> Rose is now a confirmed team!

Name on the list?

[fantasysquish]

I might just be a bit stupid, but it says that your name will appear on the list the next time they update it if you've signed up.
What do they mean?
I can't see anyone elses names on the list...
Or are they talking about an other list? :O
Help >

Re: Name on the list?

[sadisticbutsweet]

They have a seperate post for members of team listing:

http://hs-olympics.dreamwidth.org/3829.html#cutid1

Right now they only have the ships that are filled up, but over the next few days they should get everything sorted and all of the ship-changes arranged so the other team lists will be up. :)

Um, help? :c

[sugercube75]

So, after submitting my team form I looked at the list again and realized there were teams I'd rather be on...! Can I possibly change my form/submit another or something? :?

Re: Um, help? :c

[sadisticbutsweet]

If you email homestuck.shipping@gmail.com with your dreamwidth username and what you want to change then they should be able to switch your choices. It just may take them a day or two to get back to you. :) Hope that helps!

[dogtierlions]

oh no! so I thought that I had seen Dirk♥Roxy listed under full, but they aren't! I already submitted my sign-up sheet... is there any way I can make them one of my top choices? even in place of another? my OTP is currently unconfirmed so I'd really like to have them down, too!

[pentacletier]

Oh goshhh I'm excited but also scared!! This is my first HSO and ahhhhhhh oh goshhh. I can't wait!

We can only sign up for one team right

[rje]

I totally didn't see this answered in the FAQ, but are we only allowed to sign up once? I thought about doing this last time it came around but was too busy plus I didn't have any ships but now I kind of have two and I sort of want to do them both ... they're not common either (well one is actually one is really really not xD) but I don't know if it's even possible to be on two teams.

If not then I might just join Team English so I can draw whatever I want for bonus rounds (if I'm reading this right -- I still don't really know how this works aha)

Re: We can only sign up for one team right

[chasm_felis]

You can name up to three teams on the form, but you can only be placed on one team. If you only ship rarepairs, there's a good chance that none of your ship choices will have enough people for a team, but there's a spot on the form where you can default to Team English in the event that happens. :33

English lets you vote and participate in the bonus rounds, but if you want to contribute to your pairings in the main rounds anyway you could consider Alchemiter, where you're allowed to make things for any pairing not represented by a team.

[emithelittleshipper]

I'm really excited for this! I've only started using this site a few hours ago so I'm starting to get used to it... I'm trying to get MorbidThing, that girl who draws LOADS of EqAra to help me coach the Equius<3Aradia team! Let's do this!

[person4]

Hello, other Aradia♥Equiuser!

My ships are sailing?!

[arctickayla]

I'm starting to think I should've signed up for some of my more obscure ships because it looks there area at least a couple of people willing to join the team! I completely abandoned my first ship (Jade♥John) for all manner of Striders♥/♠Lalondes... but I hope I can offer my support while competing against them!

Just signed up!!

[redolentroses]

I just signed up, I hope get the teams I picked! :DDDD

[neonbunny]

aahhh no
i made a mistake in the signup yesterday so i didnt get the ships i wanted ;A; sigh

[thehonking]

It's a minor thing, but Dave♠Gamzee is on there twice - also listed as Gamzee♠Dave.

[hso_mods]

Alright, changing that now!

[salticidae]

ah meenah♠roxy is full!!! i shouldn't really be so surprised but aaaaa

[lun]

oh wow so many are full already;;

[rythos]

Ahhh man, I bet my team won't even make it up there. xD But I will hold on hope! Bec<3Gcat FOR THE WIN! -waves little flag-

[sadisticbutsweet]

You know, I am ridiculously happy with the placement I'm fairly certain I got (Dave<3Terezi<3Karkat<3<Dave) but something looks really wrong with that list - Namely - Are there no Beta!OT4 shippers out there tonight? I'm absolutely amazed that the Alpha!OT4 is already confirmed but Beta!OT4 isn't even on the map yet. Wow. Still this means the Alchemetizers can go wild with that ship if it doesn't show up. :D I really hope someone writes/draws that ship, haha.

[hso_mods]

As of last check, there are absolutely no Beta!OT4 shippers signed up. I can spell.

[fintastic]

Eridan♥Feferi♥Sollux and Eridan♦Rose are in the lists twice. 0u0

[hso_mods]

Thank you! We'll change that immediately.

[ezekialmv]

first time doing something like this!!

i signed up last night for Dave<3Sollux??? hmm...

anyways, that's still my team!!

[station20]

Alright I got my ship ready!
This is gonna be fun.

Davesprite<3Jade

[rhedbird]

Oh, yay, we made it! It's now officially a team! (Now I just need to see if I made it into it, and it'll all be good!)

And hi potential team mates!

[dragon_bagon]

You have Dave♥Kanaya♥Rose listed as confirmed but Dave♥Rose♥Kanaya listed as unconfirmed!

[chiropter]

ESDGSZHXNGBDGFIXB Jade<3Nepeta got confirmed!! Aaaaah I'm so excited :DD
