Fun fact about every single one of my submissions

Unequal Strategies: This was inspired by Spartan Chess, and the bi pawns were originally berolinas.

Sharp Incantation: When I was making this, I did not know hot to adjust the spell time and cooldown, so I made the variant fit with it.

The Golden Rain Failed: My only autodecline so far, and hopefully ever.

Land of Queens: The reason this looks so bland is that I tried many approaches and this worked out best.

Box of Combat: 20 check was added as one of the last changes, and throughout it's whole drafting, there was never an orthogonal piece.

Divergence #1: Last few changes were made without sufficient testing in an imbalance, causing red to be MUCH better.

Windmill: This is the submission with the fewest pieces per side.

Nullscapes: When whe bug of piece rendering was still present, chye suggested to name it Crimson Planet. (lol)

The Caravan: This took 12 hours to make, turned out to be bad.

Armageddon: This is the NCV with the fewest changes from the initial draft, with the first draft having the exact same piece composition, but different locations. Gamerules were quite similar too.

Catastrophe: One of the testing games that had NoWellOkay were done in testing time, so there were 8 observers at the end.

Crimson Planet: This one, out of the 3 Golden Rain revision I have made is the most Nyutix approved. 

Military: When this was almost autodeclined, I swore I would never make a wof every again, but guess what!

Hourglass: I made this just after Silent Clubstep got accepted, in the thinking of I should start making a lot of drafts, because I always wanted to beat chye in the amount of NCV's I have.

Cavalry Charge: I made this position as a joke, alongside the main project Hourglass.

Divergence: The name was inspired by the book Divergent. I never finished the book.

Barricade (Old): I never tested if hill rush works.

Barricade: Here starts my lack of skill in determining the appropriate tc's for wofs.

Beehive: I don't think anyone realized this, but this name connects to the previous name, Hexagon Force. Also there is a single queen per 'hive'.

Charmed: This idea has been cursed.

Uneasy Alliance: STOP THINKING YOU TEAMMATE IS THE PAWNS IN FRONT OF YOU.

Villagers Chess III: I actually agree that it should have been declined, even though it is better than #2.

Yep, that's my only one.

Ok, I have submitted a total of 27 variants (incorrect final SoH doesn't count). Time to make a fact about each one.

Clash Of Minor Pieces: Coolthing said "submit variants on the CVC club."

Six Apiece: Needless to say, How (Not) To Make A Variant didn't exist then. Don't question why there's duck is a promotion option

Warfare v1: Idk what I was doing with 99+.

Warfare v2: ID #2 on VW

In A Pickle: Off-Brand Thermopylae lol.

Simplicity: I did not know Complex Simplicity was a WoF. Please don't bully me for accidentally making it a swa- *gets launched into accepted category.*

Enchanted Woodland: This got accepted before Simplicity despite being submitted a month later. I enjoyed Mini Forest back then, and thought it was +40 for mate.

The Title: It wouldn't let me make the title "WoF."

Eleventh Hour: Forced teaming lol.

Claustrophobia: Because of this, I now have crazyhousephobia.

The Lake: Declined overnight lol.

The Lake: Decides to be lazy and play 5 games of a version that fixes nothing.

Sparks Of Hope: Yes, this isn't luck-based.

Uneasy Alliance: Oh shoot there's an M2

The Lake: Why can nobody figure out how to stop white from hill-rushing? It's not that hard, just use the sergeants.

Mini Grasshopper Arena: I thought the board shape looked familiar. Now I know it's because it looks like the Dry Out cube.

WoF: I lost half the games by forfeit on time.

Uneasy Alliance: "Welcome to chaos : D" - Natalie

Uneasy Alliance: The soldier exists to block M4 lines.

Charmed: No, Wolyn, the "back rank" here is the 2nd rank.

Labyrinth 6724: I was gonna call this Labyrinth 2763 until I realized 82^2=6724.

The Watcher: The original version featured islands made of 3 4x4s instead of 3 3x3s+2 1x3s.

Lobotomy Alliance: Idk why I made this.

Charmed: Project has been delayed.

Lobotomy Runway Don't Mate Yellow: I didn't think of checkmating red AND yellow.

Blast Processing: I wanted this to be called "Zeeky Boogy Doog" as a Demnted Cartoon Movie reference, but Geometry Dash level name works too ig.
