Hey, sweet! Over 500 posts! I'll try to think of a nice little mini prize for that.

Art and CE for whoever gets 1000!

As for the word search ... I didn't hand make it this week; I was pressed for time and used a generator that I plugged all the words into. Honestly, I didn't really expect all the words to fit, but apparently they did. I'm still finding them all myself. ^.^; (I get to use the word list, but as I said earlier, I went to sleep shortly after and have only found 3 words after quick couple moments of searching)

Thanks to those who have made mini-contest entries already!

Your not famous. Lol.

Anyways, Week 7 mini caption contest

Caption: The idiot gremlin who got a dark bomb as a gift

Idiot gremlin: Here's a bomb we can use to defeat the knights!
Gremlin: You idiot, that is a bomb which can kill us and it's super effective.
Idiot gremlin: This is a present for you! Open it!
Gremlin: But it's gon--(KABOOM)

Rules for 1000

We do not spam this post. Even when 1000 CE is on the line.

You spam, and I find you and... we'll leave it at that.

!!!!!!!!!!!

I never said how MUCH CE!!!! Whether it's 100 or 1000 or something in between will probably be decided by how much CE is left in the coffers when we get there. XD

But yes, no spam. As I said on the first page, spammers get warnings. Enough warnings and they get disqualified from both main contest and mini contests.

Gremlin Child: Don't worry. The bomb doesn't work.

Gremlin Man: No, your fur is dusty. You know how allergic I am.

Word Search

For those of you doing the puzzle: if you send me your marked up sheet and include your non-SK words (whether you include the SK words on the markup or not), I'll give a "you made a valiant effort" prize for finding lots of unintended stuff as well. XD

@Dreathuxy

You might want to adjust your entry form a bit so as to make it easier on Tev to judge it and give out prizes.

WEEK 7 MINI CONTEST

"Hey daddy! What does this do!"

Lick the Week 7 Caption

@Dreathuxy, Thank you for entering a spiral spy model, I didn't want to be lumped into the spiral spy scenes category, where I would have most likely not have stood a chance. I'm not actually sure if that counts for that category though, seems more like a character.

@Tevokkia, Could I get some clarification on what is classified as "artwork, spiral spy models?" Can it be something like Dreathuxy's or do you actually have to mess around with the textures/models.

Week 7 Caption:

"It's ok daddy, the Dark Retribution is terrible at killing gremlins like us!"

Spiral Spy Models

As I said on the front page, the models have to be modified from the game defaults: that being said, if you've just put together a character using unedited pieces already available, that's not a valid entry in the category. New textures, parts of one armor stuck onto another armor, and so on are required: at the very LEAST, changes have to be made to the colors outside the presets offered in any of the menus, but an entry that only changes colors won't be rated very highly.

Honestly, Dreathuxy, unless you have a texture file you can show me that you've edited, I'm going to have to pop into SpiralSpy and see whether I can accept the entry by recreating your model and seeing what's involved in doing so (it's getting a bit late, though, so I"ll do it tomorrow).

Sorry about my being rather quiet the past few days, everyone. Family stuff, mostly.

Oatmonster's picture

In that case, should I attach the textures I used to my entry?

Tevokkia's picture

@Oatmonster

No, I can tell at a glance that the texture isn't one actually used in the game. If you particularly want to, you can, but it's fairly obvious.

Wow guys,

Wow guys, this is getting boring. No posts in 36 hours is not good. So...

ENTRY Poetry: Rhyming Poetry and Free Verse

In-Game Name: Lordofnecromancers
Entry Title: Her Name was Almire
Entry:

There once was a kingdom of great renown
The jewel of the planet Cradle
But now the kingdom is all ashes and bone
Faded into myth and fable

The spirits of many now roam the land
Fleeing from their undead pyre
A burning world, once perfect and grand
The kingdom of Almire

Far and deep in the flaming den
Lies a palace, long unexplored
Guarded by demons, once mighty men
Who lived and died by bloody swords

If this castle’s treasure you choose to raid
Begin your adventure at Depth 24
There you shall find many a barricade
Of fire and steel, of death and gore

Fighting, plowing your way on ahead
Down into Depth 25
Where life is guarded by the undead
Pass on through, if still alive

Depth 26, here your path doubles
Which one’s the safe avenue?
One path leads to pain, fire, and trouble
The other, just pain, so you can continue

To Depth 27, all your battles won
You go on, armor and shield battered
The pressure you feel weighs over a ton
Beating the final defense is all that matters

Finally, Depth 28, the grand throne room
Where the cursed king of Almire dwells
Here you live or face your doom
You enter a living he**

The world shakes when the mad duke strikes,
His roars sounding much like thunder
His fiery guards rise, wielding shields and pikes
You shall painfully die if you blunder

His men lunge at you, malice in their eyes
While fires rise as the ceiling crumbles
You stab with your blade, and so they die
Their bones upon the ground like piles of rubble

You jump and duck, no place to hide
From Vanaduke, yes, that’s his name
Sparks fly as swords and shields collide
Until all but you are dead and slain

Now at peace, Almire lies
Her people at rest in some heavenly place
While you enjoy your newfound prize
That massive jewel from Vanaduke’s mace

Prize Preferences (ranked left to right):
Participation - CE, CR, Vented Visor
1* - CE, CR, Uncolored sketch
2* - CE, CR, Monochrome Sketch
3* - CE, CR, Silver Key
4* - CE, Shadow Key, CR
5* - CE, CR, Colored picture with lighting effects, simple background

Yup, I prefer Tev's art over all those fancy rare expensive accesories. :)

@Benightz: Thank you for the offer, but I have it handled.

@Nechrome: Thanks for the entry! I'll get it onto the front page. I know you mentioned the art (and thank you, by the way. XD), but keep in mind that I award prizes in the order they're listed, so if you DO happen to want art or crowns or whatever to take priority over CE, make sure to list that first.

Honestly, unless for some strange reason I'm absolutely out of everything else they listed, the only winners that will be receiving art will be the ones that listed it first.

@All: Hey guys! I haven't seen any entries for the game this week yet. XD

I tried to print it but I don't think it all got on one page and the campus computer didn't have the option of doing a fit-to-page photo print~ So when I did work on it I had it open in my latest Photoshop trial highlighting with a translucent brush XD

ENTRY (Poetry: Short Poems)

In-Game Name: Oatmonster
Entry Title: A Bomb's Requital
Entry:

With restless strides he cross'd the room
On heavy hands he raised the bomb
The crystal hums as if it knew,
The empty jewel, it’s turbid song
It seemed it’s shards would tear asunder
The flesh of monsters, last it checked
But now it can not harm those beasts
For swords must always be the best

Prize Preferences:
Participation - Enamorocks, Fancy Vented Visor, 25 CE.
1* - Dusky Mech'tennas, Military Helm-Mounted Display, Heavy Goggles.

Tev, Come Quick!

I have a problem. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, but I did a sketch of Tevokkia and T'Keva.

Which category does it belong to? Character from Stone Field Borough combined with a character from Tev and Friends! What do I do?
