Warning: LONG and CONVOLUTED read! This is a guide to the nuances and quirks of Kovazes design system, meant to educate all users but especially those interested in commissioning a designer (like me!) for a custom design or to make custom designs. The limits of Kovaze design structure and how i (Wow!) work around this; Sections are broken up by a gif! I’ll start with explaining the actual systems behind Kovaze and then i’ll tell you what we can do. Kovaze improved a lot of the formula we saw in Tengaged, Zwooper, Scoderk etc. But no website can accommodate to everyone’s individual needs and unfortunately WowPlatinums custom items were not super high on the developer priority list of things to make easy! (How dare you, Sin !) We’re gonna start with going over how design uploading and “permissions” works. If you know how the permission system works, skip this section! When i make a design and upload it to the designs page, i am met with two options; Grant free permission to someone to then post those items in their shop whenever they want or to set a price for people to **BUY** that permission. Should they buy permission from me, they will then be able to use that item of mine when they open a shop! This provides compensation for the hard work of designers, but it also presents an opportunity for a makeshift “Koin payment” system. I upload an item, i set a price, you pay that price, i receive the koinz. So when I make you a custom item, i’ll post it in designs and you’ll pay for the permission to use it, that’s how i’ll get “paid” for my work and you now have the ability to post the item i made for you in a shop. You might be thinking “Well i don’t want a shop, I just want the item i asked you to make!”. That leads us into where things get complicated…. THE SHOPS SYSTEM (Dun dun dunnnn!!!) First limitation: There is no (new item) auction system. In tengaged, i could upload an item to designs, send it into auctions and you could buy it. We don’t have that on Kovaze. The “auction” on Kovaze only allows you to sell items you already own. This means, the only way to get my avatar items is in shops. Limitation 2: You can not post one singular stock of an item in shops. Every item you post has to have 3 stock of it, meaning if i make you a custom item and post it for you, two other people will be able to buy that item. So how do we work around that? There’s a few different ways. But after trial and error I’ve found two viable options: (Outdated, mostly) Method 1: Having the item posted in shops for cheap, letting the commissioner buy it or have it gifted to them, then quickly changing the remaining stock of said item to be a high price (like 1,000,000,000). You’ll get your item, and for the rest of the week that item will be locked behind a price no one will be able to pay. But; there is a new limitation (I know. So many hurdles!) A player can not buy from their own shop. This means you can’t get a shop, post your item for cheap, buy it and then change the price to the aforementioned high price. To work around this, you can open a shop and have a friend ready to quickly gift you the item instead. That’s pretty simple, but it should be said there is a 200koin minimum to posting an item (in a normal shop), so you’d need a friend who’s willing to gift you something for 200koins. the main problem here is that opening up a shop is *expensive*. it can be anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000. maybe even 3,000 koinz in the future. So to do this method, you would need a pretty hefty amount of koinz just for the shop, a friend to gift you the 200koinz and for you to be ready to up the price right after you see the stock drop from 3 to 2. to recap; the steps are: -You buy a shop -You post the custom item for 200 -a friend gifts you the item -you change the items price to much higher if you don’t want anyone else having it That’s the main way i’ve been doing it. But i recently discovered a new method. Method 2: Contact a shop owner and ask them to post your item for a single stock. “But Wow! You’re crazy! Didn’t you say earlier you can’t post an item for a single stock?” Yes, yes i did. But Wow! is a smart and savvy businesswoman and she found a slightly convoluted way to only post one stock of an item, but it does take help from another party. As a shop owner, you have 30 stock you can post. This means, theoretically, you can post 10 items (3 stock of each). BUT if a shop owner instead posts 8 items of 3 stock (24 stock in total) and then 1 item with 5 stock (up to 29 now), your shop will now have 1 stock remaining. And if you upload your last item with 3 stock, it’ll automatically post for 1 instead because that’s all you have remaining. Shablam! You have your item. And no one else does. The problem with this one is that you’ll have to find a shop owner who is willing to post an item with 5 stock and post something with 1 stock for you. Most shop owners want to post as many items as possible, so asking them to use up one of their item slots on something that’ll only go to one person might not be a super welcome request to them. How you can make it a better deal for them; offer to buy your singular item off of them for a higher price than what designs are currently going for. If they have a few items up for 600, ask them to do Method 2 for you, but to post your item for 800. So to recap method 2: -Reach out to a shop owner -Send them my explanation of Method 2 -Ask them to do it for your item that week, and offer them a fair price you’ll pay for their help! -And then you should have your item! So how does this all tie into the design permission process i explained earlier? When i make you an item, you buy permission to it. Then you’ll be able to do method 1. But if you instead choose to do Method 2, you can message me whenever you find a shop owner willing to help you out and i’ll add that shop owner to the permission list (for free). Once that shop owner has posted your item, i’ll remove them from the list so you will go back to being the only person ever able to post it. Was that all extremely complicated? Yes. But it is the best i can do at the moment! Pricing and payment for my personal commissions are a case-by-case basis and can be discussed on my Discord (Wow_Platinum). I hope this made sense. Comment or message me with any questions! Wow!

TO MY GOOD FRIEND Sin...

I would like to clarify that my previous blog post stating it was Sin’s birthday was made in error. The information shared was incorrect, and I take full responsibility for the confusion it may have caused. To be clear — it is not Sin’s birthday. I apologize for the mistake and appreciate everyone’s understanding.

BADDIES: Ratchet Reloaded — Episode 1 “Who Touched My Edges?!” CAST Kitchen cam shaking, pots clanking, “WHO USED MY EDGE CONTROL?!” Bxran in a bonnet, Wow Platinum in a robe with sunglasses, Naughty Nacho holding a ladle like a weapon. A cup flies (plastic, calm down), Death stands in the doorway like security who clocks out at 9. Freeze frame on harajuku yelling “NOT THE EDGES!” → 12 HOURS EARLIER. Move-In Madness WowPlatinum rolls in with three suitcases, a ring light, and a laminated list titled “Don’ts.” Don’t breathe near her makeup. Don’t touch her lashes. Don’t make eye contact before noon. brxan claims the biggest room: “Manifestation, baby.” Runaways tries to be neutral Switzerland and ends up bunking next to the drama border. Gagaluv walks in with a sequin duffel and a portable speaker blasting a remix of “You Tried It.” Frostbite sets her iced coffee on the marble like a territory flag. Kemi arrives with a clipboard: “House rules: label your food, label your wigs, label your intentions.” xcharliex is filming everything. “For the vlog, obviously.” sobriquet speaks in soft shade: “I love a fixer-upper… emotionally.” harajuku unpacks bows, says “Kawaii but chaotic.” juandav says he’s “low drama,” then steals the best mirror. NaughtyNacho wheels in a hot plate and a Costco bag of Takis. “I’m the chef and the problem.” Nikw98 just wants Wi-Fi and a charger. ICameron is already editing confessionals in the foyer like TMZ with a ring light. Death: silent, ominous, carrying nothing but a black duffel and authority. @TatyanaRun jogs through the living room in a two-piece set: “Cardio and chaos, let’s go.” Josh is zen until someone leaves a wet towel on his aura. AngiekStan sticks “ANGIEK APPROVED” stickers on the best bathroom shelf. First spark: Wow Platinum posts a whiteboard: “Master room = my room. Discuss feelings elsewhere.” Bxran: “Who died and made you Pottery Barn?” Death (confessional): “If they swing over a mattress, I’m not saving anyone’s lashes.” House Meeting (3:00) Kemi runs point: No hot plates in the glam room. No mystery guests until Episode 3. No lying… on camera. Off camera? “Use your spirit.” Naughty Nacho: “What about emotional support tequila?” Kemi: “Approved with a wristband.” Pavard tries being calm: “Let’s center ourselves.” Gagaluv: “I’m centered around mess.” Bathroom War (8:00) Five girls, one mirror, three edges at risk. harajuku’s glitter liner migrates onto Frostbite’s hoodie. Frostbite: “Now I sparkle against my will.” Wow Platinum: “It’s called branding, babe.” TatianaRun starts a “Who did it better?” poll for winged liner. xcharliex films. Bxran screams “NOT THE FENTY!” and that’s when someone “accidentally” elbows the edge control into the sink. Cue mini scuffle: lots of pointing, hands clapping on syllables, a sneaker slides off. Death separates them with one eyebrow. Josh sprays sage like Febreze. Room Assignments = Street Code (12:30) AngiekStan claims the balcony room using squatter’s rights and a pink throw blanket. Runaways proposes bunking pairs. juandav agrees—then swaps rooms mid-sentence. Bxran and Wow Platinum square up over closet space. Wow: “I hang couture, you hang delusion.” Bxran: “Delusion comes in a size you could never zip.” They get nose-to-nose; Pavard slides between like a calm traffic cone. First Outing: The Club Booking (16:00) Promoter texts: “Pull up, section ready.” ICameron yells “Content!” Nikw98 yells “Aux!” Gagaluv changes in the Uber. At the door, the list says: “Baddies 5.” They brought 17. Kemi negotiates, Josh flirts with the bouncer’s conscience, Death just stares until two more wristbands appear out of fear. Inside: Naughty Nacho orders six trays of lemon pepper like it’s communion. harajuku starts a kawaii twerk that becomes a cultural event. xcharliex “accidentally” posts a story tagging the ex of someone present. TatianaRun does cardio in heels, laps the section twice. Gagaluv starts a chant: “WHO TIRED? NOT US!” Bxran and Wow do a fake truce selfie, both caption “She tried it.” The Pettiest Fight (21:30) Back at the house, Naughty Nacho discovers the hot fries are missing. Kemi opens an investigation like Law & Order: Snacks Unit. Clues: orange dust on xcharliex’s lip gloss, a receipt in Gagaluv’s bra, harajuku holding a chip like evidence. xcharliex: “I don’t steal. I curate.” Gagaluv: “If the bag was open, it was community property.” Bxran: “And yet the community is hungry.” Voices rise. A drink flies (again, plastic), Wow Platinum ducks and calls her lawyer (aka her Notes app). Death: “Everyone to their corners.” Josh: “Deep breaths, shallow reads.” Confessionals (rapid fire) Bxran: “I’m not fighting over chips, I’m fighting for respect… and chips.” Wow Platinum: “I’m above this—unless there’s lighting.” Naughty Nacho: “All I know is somebody chewed.” Kemi: “If I make a spreadsheet, will y’all behave?” Gagaluv: “I don’t do theft, I do taste tests.” Frostbite: “They’re hot fries. I’m colder.” harajuku: “Kawaii court is now in session.” Death: “I warned the glam room. Snacks are next.” TatianaRun: “If you sprint, you don’t snack. Cardi-no.” AngiekStan: “I stan drama I can watch sitting down.” Runaways: “I run from mess. It keeps pace.” juandav: “My mic picked up the crunch. That’s all I’m saying.” Nikw98: “1998 taught me: label your lunch.” ICameron: “This footage? Emmy for ‘Unnecessary.’” sobriquet: “In the beginning there was chaos, and it had orange fingers.” The Almost-Throwdown (28:00) Wow Platinum calls Bxran “Broke Beyoncé.” Bxran: “At least I’m booked Destiny.” They square up; Pavard whispers “breathe” like spellwork. Death steps forward. The room freezes. Even the air won’t move without permission. Kemi declares a House Tribunal: reimburse Naughty Nacho $6.49, community snack jar, and NO EDGES IN THE SINK. Violators owe one pair of lashes to harajuku. Everyone fake-agrees. Gagaluv hits play on a mess anthem. Peace for 37 seconds. Cliffhanger (31:00) Doorbell. Three knocks. ICameron: “We’re not expecting anyone.” Death opens the door to a silhouette with a rolling suitcase and a glittery baseball bat-shaped purse. Voice: “Hi babes. I heard y’all were hungry.” AngiekStan: “NOT HER.” To be continued…

🧨 Episode 1 – “Welcome to the Warzone” Thirty players step off the transport trucks under the scorching Thai sun — sweat already glistening, sunglasses on, sizing each other up. The new Challenge arena stretches behind JB: steel towers, mud trenches, and a massive scoreboard glowing in red and blue. JB steps forward. “Welcome to The Challenge: Vets vs Rookies! This season, you’re not just fighting for survival — you’re fighting for your team. But remember, this is The Challenge… and nothing stays the same for long.” ⚔️ The Challenge: “The Gauntlet Run” (Solo) Each player must sprint down a long course filled with six brutal obstacles — rope climbs, mud crawls, wall jumps, and a final mental puzzle. Everyone runs solo for their team. Points are earned based on placement, and the team with the highest average performance wins. The vets start confident — they’ve done this before. kemi, Slayking123, and raiden take early leads, while cocacola12 struggles on the rope climb. Over on the rookie side, cassideez and joaqmamaded explode out of the gate, shocking everyone. Grrrrrrrracie faceplants in the mud pit, losing valuable time, and Cristi helps her up — teamwork that doesn’t go unnoticed. After all players finish, JB reads the results: “By total placements… the Vets take the win!” Cheers erupt. kemi and musiclover hug like co-captains. The Rookies, on the other hand, look crushed. 💀 The Losers & Elimination Setup “Rookies — since your team lost, the lowest-placing player will automatically face elimination. That’s… Grrrrrrrracie.” Gasps. “But we’re not done. Vets, as the winning team, you’ll each secretly vote for one person from your own team to go against her.” Suddenly, smiles vanish. The Vets start whispering alliances before they’ve even unpacked their bags. ⸻ 🏠 House Life: The First Night That night, the villa is loud and wild. Drinks flow, and the rookies try to make friends — or enemies — fast. Honey and bronte immediately click, forming a “hot girl alliance.” Paulette and Cristi start strategizing, wanting to rally the rookies together to stop the Vets from steamrolling. Meanwhile, Slayking123 calls kemi “the queen who thinks she’s the CEO of the house,” sparking tension. On the Vets’ side, ChloeKayCT and biminibonboulash throw the first house party, but rainolds complains the rookies are “acting like it’s spring break, not The Challenge.” At 3 a.m., joaqmamaded and dimitra are seen flirting by the pool — not unnoticed by kaliminaj, who rolls her eyes: “He’s cute, but girl, don’t get caught up. It’s Episode 1. People disappear quick.” ⸻ 🗳️ The Vote The next morning, the Vets gather for their private voting. Everyone has to name one teammate they think should go into elimination against Grrrrrrrracie. Rumors swirl that cocacola12’s poor performance in the challenge made her an easy target, but others whisper about marksmarks being “too quiet to trust.” JB returns that night with the tally. “The player your team voted in is… cocacola12. You’re headed to elimination.” cocacola12 nods, smirking: “If I have to earn my spot, I’ll do it. No problem.” ⸻ ⚔️ Elimination: “Hold the Line” Both players face off on a narrow balance beam over a mud pit, pulling on opposite ends of a heavy rope — whoever drags the other off wins. Grrrrrrrracie puts up a fight, but the veteran composure shows. After a long struggle, cocacola12 wins the first elimination of the season! Mud-covered and victorious, she stands before JB. “Congratulations, cocacola12 — you’ve survived the Arena. And remember the twist…” “You now have the chance to switch teams.” The house holds its breath. “I’m staying with the Vets,” she says, grinning. “We’re not done yet.” The Rookies groan as another loss hits their morale. Next Time on The Challenge: Vets vs Rookies… The next challenge splits players into duos for the first time, and old rivalries resurface when Slayking123 and kemi are forced to work together. A blow-up at the house over team loyalty ends in tears — and one shocking hookup shakes both sides of the game.

babes 💋

that to enter the Race you need to have at least 2/3 flames. It's crap to play with someone in a race who is playing their first game and doesn't know how it works or how play the challenges.

THINKING OF ME Congratulations to evrtngbagel and TeaFiercelyBoots, you have won The Race!
