Winners announced http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/117281#comment-1047105
Valentine's Day is nearly here! Cronus and I arm wrestled to see who would steal Aphrodite's helmet and host this event this year, and I won! flexes her superior muscles I must add you are very lucky I did win; if Cronus won his intention was to have you make your Spiral Knights themed Valentines just for him. I'm not so mean, and this year I want you to make a Spiral Knights themed Valentine that can be given to anyone in the game. (Including Cronus, if you must)
General Format:
The Valentine must have three things:
- A cheesy, Spiral Knights themed line. Groan-worthy puns are encouraged. For example, "I think of you knight and day."
- A "TO:" field, left blank.
- A "FROM: field, also left blank.
Deadline: February 16, 2017, 11:59 PM Game Time (Pacific time zone)
Prizes: Three (3) winners from each of the two entry categories will be able to pick between a forever love puppy mask, a love aura, heart eyes, lovely glasses, or specify which monster pocket you want (chroma whelp, love puppy, hoptimer, or mewkat). Other prizes may be added depending on participation, and all entries will get a participation reward of purple fireworks!

Eek! Only a few days to scrounge up some puns!
Can the entry be designed for a specific knight, or would a blanket statement be better? Because if it's the former, then my pun game may be just a wee bit stronger.
