The results of dog tired... a now sober me has edited my strange post from last night.

The results of email... I just finished editing the website and replying to Tevokkia.

The results of Vinnydime and xxpapaya's art... shweet, but does it belong here...?

Wow, papaya, you're like... 14. I think I should have watched my language a bit more carefully on guild chat.

*Thinks to self* ..........................Not even quite 14 yet..............................and I'm kinda used to people saying weird stuff.

Someone younger than me!? Hax! I call Hax! but anyways, random smiley face :D

Happy Late Halloween, peoples.
Peoples who don't be shy.
Ah well.

Gourdish: Hey! That knight is wearing Hallow armour! He killed other gourdlings!
Knightem: That's a big Gourdling.
Gourdish takes a deep breath
Knightem: Oh no! It's going to blow up!
Steps back.
Wait, it's not an explosive one! Wha-
Gourdish spews out fire.
Two thuds are heard from the room. Two.

Did we forget about the game, or did we get busy? I've only got two entries for the crossword this week, and I took special care to make it easier this time since the last few weeks has seen a serious drop in participation. I'm wondering if you guys want me to keep making the games like this, since they're a few hours of work.

Starting next week, I think I'm going to set it so that prizes aren't awarded unless there are at least three entries, and nobody can win a top prize two weeks in a row (but if you win a top prize one week, you can win a runner-up prize the following). Hopefully that will ensure the prizes get spread around a bit better and may entice a few more people to participate.

"Did we forget about the game, or did we get busy?"

Busy/too tired for me. I'll see if I can fill it out tomorrow. Assuming I'm not getting the "weekly games change on this day" wrong. x.x

Im too lazy to do it. :D

Game changes over in 2 1/2 hours XD

@Artist

I even made it easy this week ... D:

Busy and stressed

Hugs Tev,

My mind has been mashed potatoes for the past 5 weeks from all the pain and medication after getting out of the hospital. Otherwise, I'd be participating more.

Meanwhile, my graphics computer main hard drive died a few days ago, and I lost all the work I did on my Bettie Page Gremlin. I'll try to recreate the sketch and textures for her fur, armor and warlord sceptre/staff on my game computer. If I can't, I'll at least try to work on the Crimson Order Warlord Princessa Necklace that I had designed for her using handmade Fimo elements and coral beads.

Thank you for bringing much joy to the Spiral Knights community.

Warmest regards,
Raspberry

@Raspberry
Oh noes! Sorry to hear that!

How've you been feeling? I haven't seen you around much to ask. Hope you're starting to improve and won't have to spend much more time on the mend.

It's always to frustrating to lose work like that, especially when you've made a lot of headway. D:

*lots of hugs*

@Mawashimono
Thanks for the entry! Could you please fill out the forms from the front page for each of your entries? I had asked when you submitted your last one but I don't think you saw it.

"Game changes over in 2 1/2 hours XD"

I question the sanity of your "first day of the week" standard. :P I'll be in my pile of not-getting-anything-done~

@Raspberry,
Bucket of sympathy for you. :c

I thought of a better caption for the mini contest, and I was wondering if I could change it. Also, I'm just stressed from schoolwork. I hardly ever get time for the contest.

@Raspberry Get well soon! <3

You remind me of pain that I got a few weeks ago. I got hit super duper hard with a hockey stick. They were going to do a slap shot, but I got hit. So my leg was injured and still hurts.

It's not as painful as what happened before

Yup, go ahead and change it, just make sure you get it in before changeover (about 20 minutes from now)

Alright, week 10 is up! (I'm even on time this week!) Gamesters, please take note of the new guidelines on #709. I'm hoping everyone gets to feeling better and more energized! If a prize isn't awarded in a week, I'll keep the game up for an extra week in addition to whatever the new one is so that if I get more entries during the second week of it being up, I can award prizes.

I think I actually have everyone's IGN that won this week, so I'll get the CE out to you guys in the morning.

There are different tiers of prizes for winning in different places, and those tiers are just named after stars. You're suppose to fill in which prizes you'd like if you win something in the categories from participation to 5*. If you'd like something other than art in some of the tiers, make sure to give me at least a second choice in case you and another person who will be getting a prize on that level want the same thing.

Must the fanfic with no knight characters be finished?

Title: Rockstar!
Second entry
Mini poem
----------------------------------------

There once was a rock that crashed into Haven

And it was from the Cradle stars

He played rock music

The stars shined from Cradle

It was so awesome, that he rocked!

More stars shined from different places

Then he became a rockstar!

He became a Spiral Rockstar because he was shaped as a Spiral!

Spiral knights cheered! Horray!

If Tinkinzar Excavated the Clockworks, Where did the Dirt Go?
Suggested Explanations for some of the Clockworks's Darkest Secrets
by The Philososnipes

No, as long as there's enough of a story there to indicate that there likely won't BE any knight characters, either. (i.e. You can't use a story that has only two paragraphs and therefore hasn't introduced most of its cast)

@Benightz
Thanks for the entry ... but how does this pertain to Spiral Knights, again?

@Papaya
Sorry for not responding to your entry earlier; it had gotten a little lost up there. Still on the fence quite where to put it ...

Creatures of Cradle in the Dark by I. M. Nite

@Tev
Alright, thanks.

Unless I can talk about a knight instead of a rock.

@Artist

HEY YOU. Y U US MY NAM?! HUHHH

Well, the entries DO have to be SK related ...

Maybe make a "Papaya-art" section? Or maybe "Character-art" section, where people draw how their knights look in their minds :P

Hi Tev,
I have a few questions regarding the week 10 contest.
14. A thread in any forum outside the Treasure Vault that includes a creature created by a player
Does the mean that the creature was accepted into the game? Does their have to be pics of the creature?
4. A thread in Wiki Editors that discusses materials
Can they talk about updating certain pages for materials? (e.g updating a page about the papaya material [there is no papaya material ;(] )

If I enter an entry in Jmtheawesome's contest, am I allowed to enter it here as well?

@Papaya: For 14, no, it should not be in the game, just a suggestion or something of the sort, and no, it doesn't need pictures. And for 4, yes, it can be about anything regarding minerals. The only other stipulation is that the player who sends me the thread as part of their scavenger hunt can't be the player that posted the thread.

As far as adding a new art category, I'm having few enough art entries as it is and don't think I'll be adding a new category. Most of the entries for the contest have been in writing categories.

@Artist: I believe that last time someone asked me this question, I told them that pieces entered in this contest couldn't be entered in other contests until this one was over and still qualify.

Okedoke.

Week 10 Mini Contest:

Soliloquies of the Owlites, By I.M.Owl

Thanks for the entry, Ariasky!

I'm a few entries behind on putting them on the front page, but I"m running out now, so I'll do it this evening.

Tev, can I submit my Guild Hall Expansion Breakdown video (and replace another item) or is that not valid?

... being as I haven't seen it, I don't know what it's composed of. It it's composed of playtime or edits of promo clips, then it's not valid. If you'd actually done some animating in SpiralSpy or something, you can.

So, I just started my stort 5 days ago, and as I'm writing it I am starting to realize how long it is (the first chapter was 3your pgs single spaced on Microsoft Word). Wish me luck that I can finish it in time, cause it's epic!

Welcome aboard!

Oh, wow. You're still hosting this contest. :D Maybe I'll have enough time to make a little silly dance animation loop or something. :>

Haha, yeah ... you've got until Nov. 30 at midnight my time to enter. ^.^
