some changes have been made to the SPOP WEEKEND experience! here is the core concept for new spop idols: sometimes the spop community needs a vacation, a time to forget about line reminders and sing their hearts out. enter spop weekends (spw's)! pick a team based on a themed question and check out the spw hub to see which tasks can currently be turned in for points for your team, which rotates throughout the days! don't you dare think about monday morning, not when we have a vacation ahead of us!! a ◌ telescope the telescope will be renamed to the "spw hub" from now on. turning in challenges will not happen in studio comments anymore, but in the spw hub proj thanks to cloud variables. the host team will not hesitate to ban anyone abusing this feature by adding unrealistic amounts of renown at once, and we WILL find out because scratch keeps a log of who's added how much to cloud variables. the spw hub proj will only work for users who signed up for the event! b ◌ team studios / use of @spopweekend since spw is now an official part of the spop community, @spopcomm and the new 2025 spop community will be used in place of @spopweekend and the main / team studios. unofficial team studios are welcomed though! c ◌ spw frequency we plan to do regular spw's once a month, with a special holiday theme for months like october and december. main event spw's, featuring a music festival, will be held once a year in june. there will consistently be new challegnes added to the lineup, suggested by participants through a survey. d ◌ highlight reel at the end of an spw, a highlight reel will come out with the memory book. this will be a compilation of the best moments from spw covers (high notes, raps, etc). if you want a chance of being featured in it, add your spw task folder to this studio! https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/51037715/ e ◌ team popularity if one team is much more popular than the other, the amount of renown each challenge is worth will be weighted. this is to keep spw fun for both sides, because it won't be fun if one team is doomed from the start! f ◌ ... keep your eyes peeled for these elusive opportunities that'll give a huge advantage to anyone who happens to notice... have fun!
