Ero Renaissance (2)
Somehow, this self-run event known simply as Erosance had cast me in the role of its de facto "host."

How's this?
Me and the other supers cooked this design up ourselves

Anyone who doesn't understand that the aesthetics of concealment ARE the heat is just a middle-schooler, fr
Never forget: a suit is heat incarnate
Ah, of course, just this alone falls short of living up to the "Ero" in Erosance, so—

Users who'd somehow convinced themselves this was a participatory event were now terrorizing my personal inbox and gallery notification tray in real time.

Gaaaaah, please stop!
Ero Renaissance. (2)
I never imagined things would blow up this big.
Honestly, I'd figured a few dozen posts would go up at most. Maybe a couple hundred.

How was I supposed to predict that thousands of refined gentlemen would stampede toward me declaring, "I'd like to enter^^"?
And the real problem was this: I'd just tossed the idea out in passing. It wasn't an actual "event" with prizes or anything. One wrong move and I could end up mass-executed by the community — in a completely different sense from Raksha — so after a brief moment of deliberation, I deleted a few reported troll posts and put up a clarification on the gallery.

This is not an event
There are no rewards
[Inbox proof — combined total already over 20,000.jpg]
And when this many come in, I can't sort them alone
Stop. Even if a ton of you enter, I've got nothing to give
And the honest intent behind the post I'd written was, put simply…
I've already secured more than enough hot images. This is plenty, so stop the brainrot.
But truly, regrettably — whether to call it misfortune or not, I wasn't sure — our merry band of degenerate friends seemed so determined to defuse the cutthroat, backstabbing atmosphere between clans that the moment they saw me try to hit the brakes, they responded by ripping the brake pedal clean off with raw force.

So if we say there ARE rewards, Erosance gets even bigger, right?

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO!

"Understood."

Just like that, they spun up a separate open chat room on the gallery labeled "Erosance Sponsorship List" and started stacking sponsorship items in it of their own accord.

yep
Send everything here from now on
For the record, to prove this isn't a clan promo stunt, I made the clan in the Central Zone — so don't hit me with any dumbass conspiracy theories
