Tev's Great Big Contest is over, but she'd love your feedback! Snubear! I finally finished your picture!

A knight is scavenging for foods in an island....

Knight: I got so much foods today. I have to get a new kind of food like....

Walking Food: AAARRRRGGGGG!!!

Knight: HOLY BLAZE PEPPER CAKE WITH A CHOCOLATE TOPPING!! Oh wait, that's going to be the new type of food, blaze pepper with a chocolate topping! Thanks alot, uh.. A-monster-with-a-strange-head! As a reward, I will give you this.....big rock for you!

The knight put the rock into the monster's mouth.

Walking Food: AAAARRRHH... (It means "Can't breath")

Knight: Uhhh...I think I just be going now!

EDIT: Yay, new page.

Thanks for the entry! How many words long is your story so I can put it in the right category? I can't copy/paste into a word counter from the mediafire document. ^.^;

UNGH! I solved the entire crossword EXCEPT for 6 across. ._. The clue can only refer to 2 items, but neither of them work. I am utterly confuzzled right now.

Got that one on my first try. ;D

-_-

I got 6 across too. I thought it was terribly creative. :D

Hopefully unnecessary reference.
I don't claim to be an artist, but the pun was too perfect to pass up ._. Created in GIMP.

Woo! I won the random drawing!

Do the crossword words have to have to do with Spiral Knights (particularly #1 down)? All I've found for that is raw snipes and I'm pretty sure that's not right.

Edit: Hay, you changed the prize options without telling me.

Counted the words (1167) and put it in the right category. Sorry for the inconvenience :/

Knight 1: Stay away from me, you foul monster!

Punpun: N-No... Please stay...

Knight 1: Huh? You spoke!

Punpun: Please listen to me... it's... umm... I... err... *blushes and frowns*

Knight 1: W-w-what are you trying to do?!

Punpun: (frowny voice)It's... IT'S...

EXTRA OF THIS CONVERSATION:

*Punpun lets out a bad breath*

Hey Oat,

They all have to do with Spiral Knights in one way or another. The answer itself may not be directly involved with SK, but with the question, it is.

One Down is actually directly from the game. The clue is an allusion to the description (there's a clue? where?).

What I'm not getting is Two Down because I can't think of what the second word is - so many things seem to make sense and fit, but none make me see it as a pun...

Knight: Hey stupid. Yeah you, your an idiot
Monster: Y U CALL ME STUPID?
Knight: Because your just an ugly monster
Monster: Well Im going to kill you RIGHT NOW. DIE!
Knight: And I'm going to kill the Punkin head while your raging your breathe
Monster: Well oh yeah? Here comes my s--- (Punkin king's head smashes him*)
Knight: Oh well. How sad

*Gourdling explodes on the knight*

*Candy flies everywhere, covered in monster guts*

*Knight picks one up and shivers with disgust*

Knight: These cannot be clean.

Knight: What are you doing, man?? I don't remember this before!!
Gourdling: Me... neither... BLAM

@Acidvenom: Okay, thanks! I'll add your entry to the list!

@Nottheanswer: Thanks for the entry!

@Oatmonster: Well, it DOES say that the prize options can change. I'll have some more additions next week.

@Latisan: Not all of the clue are puns. ;)

Thanks for all of the caption contest entries, everyone!

EDIT: Bwahahahah! Post 666!

Sorry I didn't get to try the contest last week. I didn't even enter a mini contest because who could beat "Philososnipes"? Latisan deserved that one. School is driving me up the wall.

So here I am sitting on my wall, trying to use the keyboard. It's extremely awkward, and then using the mouse, too? Forget it! Curse you gravity! XD

Anyway, I'd like to say nice work to all of the entries. You guys are awesome. This is the first time that I'm legitimately a part of a gaming community, and I'm now realizing truly how creative everyone is. Incredible.

I've also given up on my post title: "1 sheep... 2 sheep... 4923 sheep...". I'm just too lazy to type it in every time :P, especially when I post from my mobile. It was an inside joke anyway that only a friend of mine and myself understood, anyway.

I'll probably get a crossword solution in sometime later. Well, that's all for now. See you later, Feraligator!

@Latisan-Sklay, For two down, I don't think the first word is actually the first word of the saying. It's somewhat synonymous though. At least that's what I got to fit.

hihi if happen im the first to give a gemlin entry

lololol, I love that that is on a napkin! =) Inspiration strikes!
It looks great!

hahaha XD i was on work that time.. its like i must put it on something and then.. a wild napkin appeared

Thanks for the entry!

And with that, all of the regular categories except "handcrafted" now have entries.

i could make one actually but ill be starting to work on it on mid dec.. ^^ trying to make an archeron hahaha

I would do handcrafted, but my husband said no more ham wolvers. Hehehe.

Haha! Pipe cleaner wolver? Pom-pom snipe? Origami greaver? Paper place force buckler? Play-doh chromalisk?

Hehehe, stop enticing me, those all sound super fun! Our crafts room still isn't set up yet, though, since we haven't gotten my shelves to unpack the stuff that's in there XD I kind of had tentative plans for my other two entries already, though I'm not sure if I'll actually get them done @-@

Sol says he wants to make a knight running away from this huge crowd of origami greavers now. XD

Man, you should really stay off the sour candy

I THOUGHT I'd be able to actually do an origami Greaver once you mentioned it. Thirty minutes later and I was really close. No banana tho.

Grittle - Nice caption. That's a winner in my book. XD

...I did work for an hour today with string figures trying to make a Silkwing. And I did it! Video coming soon, I suppose. >.>

hihi if origami is one of the handcraft that is awesome

Haha, just make sure to keep in mind your entry count, people. If anyone should want to replace an earlier entry with a new one, that's fine. Just let me know which one you're replacing.

And pretty much anything you can think up to do that isn't flat I consider handcrafts.

So I recorded a video and took pictures of my string figure - is there any way you DON'T want me to submit it? Otherwise I was thinking of uploading it to my personal Youtube channel and giving a link.

As long as I can see what you did and it doesn't crash my computer, it's cool. XD

Knights: Trick or Treat!

The PK holds his cheacks in.

Knight 1: This is what happens during a treat guys, he basically explodes. I can even explode it before hes ready.

Knight 1 takes out his flourish and stabs the PK, making him implode.

Knight 2: HOLY ****!

***

A gravestone appears in the graveyard. It says...

Military-Unit

1997-2012
Who foolishly made the PK explode, taking his life.

I just want to go outside and shout at the top of my lungs FIRST TO ENTER A HANDCRAFTED WORK!!! but that'd be terribly immature. Congrats to everybody for filling every category of the contest! Well done and keep it up!

PS - String figures are usually flat...but they're suspended in mid-air and the string is 3-D. That counts, right?! XD

Thanks for the entries, Latisan and Lizzi! And I'll get your entry switched out, Rogueperson! ^.^

All regular categories now have at least one entry! (Haha, I'm not holding my breath on the special categories, even if they are some of my favorites. XP)

Spent forever working on the crossword, only got 3 XD Time to see what the mini-contest is like................

Punkin Jr: Ima blow you soooo hard
Knight: 0_0

Note: A few of my friends told me that my post is "sick", can someone please clarify to me how?

... to blow someone is slang for a sexual act, which I imagine is what they're referring to.

Maybe add 'up,' lol.

lol, what can you do? :3

The sarcastic abbreviation for "Need Oxygen or Will Die Laughing" - noowdl

Papaya, the caption I think works either way, whether someone chooses to take it cleanly or dirtily - it's pretty well crafted both ways. ;)
\

... moving on. (I wouldn't say that the caption taken that way was "sick" ... just potentially inappropriate if your mind is in the gutter. Like mine.)

Latisan, did you get my email?

XD awkwardly funny hahaha Xd .. and i cant imagine those came on a song.. music these days.. some have double meaning XD

Really, I don't want a prize or anything, I'm just seeing if you guys would like it or not.

The phantoms were getting quite boring now. Even though there were literally dozens of orbs suspended mid-air next to the striker, he showed no signs of excitement anymore. The graveyard had become his entertainment; half because of the buckets of crowns he could collect from the dead (a very immoral decision, tisk tisk), and half because he could satiate his sadistic impulses. Torturing these violent souls had been his only form of entertainment, ever since he had reached the Core. He wasn't going to stop now, not ever. If there was a purpose other than to be a mercenary for the bastard "knights", he would've been spending his time in the asylum back at the home-world. An orb suddenly expands, and a phantom hits the ground running. This one in particular was his favorite, mainly because it seemed to return to him every time he entered the graveyard. The phantom looked like it was building up tears, desperate to free itself from its hell, but the man in white would not tolerate that. No, he easily dodged the swing, and literally deflected the phantasmal blade bare-handed like a rotting stick. The striker, with inhumane speed, only knocked the phantom down with a shoulder tackle. While the spirit tried to stand up, he leaped onto its arms, pinning it down. He only giggled in excitement, for he had never toyed with a spirit before, not even the same way he did to Vanaduke. Slowly, with great relish and savor, he lifted the helm off of the phantom. A feminine face was revealed, sobbing and angry at the same time. He only grinned and pulled out his Acheron, slowly making tiny scratches on the ghost's face. He then lifted the blade of madness with some strength, and proceeded to bring it down. It was by a matter of milliseconds when the striker's hands were severed from his body. He didn't notice, not until his right rib cage was snapped clean in half by Triglav's charge attack. He was too broken to even stand, and he only laughed like a madman when the golden light radiated from the guardian. The giant blade shattered the striker's weak armor as it went down. The sound of rent flesh and pummeled bones echoed throughout the cemetery, followed by silence. The phantom stared in disbelief, the orbs ceased to vibrate, the air become denser. With a spit and a stomp on the already-flattened corpse, the guardian walked on, uncaring that he had killed one of his own. The phantom fitted its helmet, now cracked with misuse. The sound of the elevator broke the silence, and the screams of the striker's tormented soul now filled the air...

Happy Halloween.
