Artists' Choice and Community Choice Ballots
I will be doing a drawing with a CE prize from among all of the people who voted.

Instructions:

  1. Look through each of the groupings of entries and determine your favorites
  2. Copy and paste the Ballot below into your post. If you have an entry in the contest, use "Artist Choice" as your subject line. If you do not have an entry, type "Community Choice."
  3. Fill in the form with the letter designation of the pieces you wish to vote for in each category. Do not use the titles of the pieces or the entrant who submitted it. If there are seven or more pieces in a category, you may vote for up to three different pieces in the category. If there are six or fewer in a category, you may vote for two of them.

Notes:

  • If you wish your votes to remain completely anonymous, you may send them to my email, in-game mail, etc, just as you would a game entry.
  • If you do not see your entry among the pieces up for vote, it is because each piece can only win one prize and you are already slated for one.
  • If you do see your entry among the pieces up for vote, it is not because I don't have another prize above participation intended for you, only that I don't intend to assign any of them until after the votes for this in.
  • The entries are listed in no particular order, so please don't read anything into it. I opened up each entry in a category in a window, then clicked on them randomly until I had saved them all.
  • Ballot form:

    SUBJECT: (Either "Artist Choice" or "Community Choice")

    How to Win

    Enter the contest!
    Your entry can be a piece of art, a story, a poem, an animation, or a SpiralSpy piece, depending on the category you enter. There are several categories to choose from, several prizes in each category, and prizes just for participating.
    Be awesome to each other
    I'll be giving out citizenship awards to those who show exemplary support and encouragement to the entrants, or who are generally helpful within the thread (i.e. politely providing answers to questions I have already answered but the person may have missed, making good suggestions, etc.)
    Just show up!
    All non-spam posters will get an entry into a weekly raffle. There will be an additional raffle at the end of the contest for all posters.
    Attend the awards ceremony!
    There will be door prizes and possibly games during the event.
    Play games!
    Each week, there will be a different game happening in the thread.

    Rules
    Rule-breakers will get no more than a single warning before being disqualified, either from the contest or the weekly raffles, depending on whether or not you are an entrant. For large infractions, such as mass-spamming, flaming, or obvious TOS breakage, I will not warn you before making a report.

    1. All posts and entries, as usual, need to follow the Spiral Knights TOS
    2. No spamming. A bit of chatter is fine, but I like my topics to stay on topic.
    3. No criticism of the entries. If an entrant specifically asks for critique of their work, only constructive criticism is allowed.
    4. All rules here also apply to any threads linked from here. Misbehavior in my Stone Field Borough thread, or any threads containing entries will be treated as though it were misbehavior here.
    5. Do not enter anything that you yourself did not create; this will result in not only immediate disqualification, but you will be barred from any future contests I may hold.
    6. You may enter no more than three times, in different categories.

    Entries by Contestant
    In the order that they were entered.

    @Papaya

    Yes hon, you can have 'papaya' in your subject line. XD

    I had actually forgotten you had already entered a long poem; yours was one of the first entries, and there are a lot to keep track of. Let me know which one you'd like to have as your actual entry.

    Week 12 knock knock

    Redward: Knock, knock
    Knight: Who's there?
    Redward: Red
    Knight: Red who?
    Redward: Redward
    Knight: Redward?...don't you mean Green Ward? or Red Shard?
    Redward: No, Redward...read the wiki noob!

    Oh and the 9pms would be best for me.

    #923
    Agh just finished my finals

    Agh just finished my finals <3 now I have just a few days to get another entry done. Thrilling! Also, I'll be away during the awards ceremony, so the date doesn't matter to me.

    Hope all of you are doing well and continuing to make beautiful things :)

    #924
    Um...

    I honesty have NO idea what this time thingy, conversion is AT ALL... And Google's not helping, but if EST is game time, then I think... actually no idea.

    #925
    @Hexlash

    EST is three hours ahead of game time. So if it were 9pm EST, it would be 6pm game time.

    The papaya replies to Tevokkia

    @Tevokkia I shall submit a Spiral Spy =) Nearly finished :DDDDDDDDDD (that's just creepy, its like a person with 12 chins..........................)
    That means I get to keep my current (not the most recent submission) submission right ? (AKA The poem about snipes, and the drawing of my papayaknight)

    #929
    RE: Award Ceremony

    I could probably make it for the 9 PM slots... though your Friday (my Saturday) always has about a 50% chance of me being otherwise occupied. So if you need more of a definite day, put me down for your Saturday (that's 11 AM Sunday for me here in Australia, I believe).

    Also, thanks so much for the random prize from last week, Tev. I totally hadn't been expecting it. =o

    #930
    On the Award Ceremony

    Okay, there seems to be a bit of confusion here so:

    1)There's only going to be one ceremony, not one at each time. We'll set it up for the time the most people think they can make it and Lionheart's guild hall is available.

    2)If you cannot make it to the award ceremony, you will still be receiving your contest prizes. If I don't know where to find you in Haven to send you a trade within 24 hours of the award ceremony, you will receive it via in-game mail.

    3)There will be additional prizes given out during the ceremony, but just like any event with door prizes, you must be present to win those. I don't know what they're going to be yet.

    4)If you're having trouble figuring out the time zone conversions, here is a converter for you. If you still are having trouble, let me know what GMT zone you are in and I'll let you know the potential ceremony times. If you don't know what your GMT time is, I'd need your country, or if your country spans more than one time zone, a major city in your zone.

    #931
    ... and now on everything else.

    @Papaya: Sounds good! You can keep your papaya knight and whichever of the poems you like best. Your snipe entry is your current entry, so if that's the one you want to keep, then you don't have to do anything.

    @Miat: You're welcome!

    @Everyone else: Lots of knock-knock jokes coming in, I see. XD

    As tomorrow marks the last changeover before the end of the contest, I should have extra games up for everyone. Saturday, I'll be sending out reminders to those who have incomplete entry forms or who have put in a placeholder entry and have not yet added the link the the entry. I'd hate to see someone unable to have their entry in because they forgot the link or didn't understand the entry form.

    Honk honk. Make way for the dead bunny.

    Hai Tev! I'm just about finishing up my story, and I plan to do a poem if I have time. I just found a cool art app yesterday, and it's totally free! It's called Gimp. Perhaps one of ya guys have heard of it? Anyway, I don't expect to do something awesome on it, its still very confusing. :P Since I'm PST, I think I should be able to get on at Saturday. I have Chinese School on Fridays. xD

    We're very excited.

    ۞ The Dragon Princess ۞ of the Lionheart guild looks forward to playing hostess for this very special event. St-Leone, our Lion King, and I would both be heading off to church right at the start of the Saturday time, so although the guild hall would be open to you, we would both sadly miss the event. The Friday ealier time is the only one I can attend personally as I'll be heading off to work around 10:30 pm EST that day.

    Whatever time you decide upon, we are very much looking forward to the fun and festivities.

    Luv, Mawashimono ~ ♥

    Happy Thanksgiving! ENTRY (Other Visual Arts: Handcrafted Works)

    Finally, got my entry done! I would have done more entries, but I'm too busy trying to cope with finals ; ~ ;

    In-Game Name: Jluna
    Entry Title: Royal Jelly Crown
    Entry: http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/gg605/lalalalaerica/royaljelly-001…
    Participation -Crowns, Ce, Materials (Green Shards, Monster Bones)
    1* -Crowns, Ce, Materials (Green Shards, Monster Bones)
    2* -Ce, Crowns, tri-heart pendant
    3* - Birthday Candle, Toasty Party Blowout, Toasty Glasses
    4* -Volcanic Wings, 150,000 CR, Cat Tail (either)
    5* -250,000 CR, 3,000 CE, Valkyrie Wings (fancy)

    I created this crown because Royal Jelly is my favorite boss in Spiral Knights. Plus, I thought it would look cute ;) In the picture, I'm wearing my crown, providing a back and side view. It was pretty bright outside, so I apologize for the intense shadows and if the coloring is off. I tried to fix it xP Overall, I'm proud of my work and might make more Spiral Knights-related crafts in the future. I was debating on whether or not to make a video tutorial on this, but idk...If you guys want me to make a tutorial just tell me! If so, I will try to get it done during winter break ;D Anyway, hope you enjoy my Royal Jelly Crown! ^^

    Maybe.... Hopefully ._.

    According to the time converter, we're apparently 4 hours apart ... so only Friday 12pm for me.... :)

    EDIT: Okay, nvm, so now I'm apparently 2 hours back?! Idk anymore.... So either Friday 9pm or Saturday 9pm????

    EDIT 2: Following the leads from your time converter, EST and GMT - 4 are apparently 1 hour apart..... help please?

    #937
    ^.^

    @Hexlash EST and GMT - 4 are the same thing, hon. You live in Eastern United States or Canada?

    @Pballs and Jluna: Thanks for the entries!

    Did you factor in Daylight Savings?

    #939
    @Psycho

    Daylight savings ended a few weeks ago.

    #940
    I mustn't!

    Thee shalt not comprehend my location within thee beliefs... Um so yeah, I can't tell you were I live, because.. it's a.. secret? :3
    And yes, the website does take into account the DST, I placed in EST and then GST -4 and then the times were 1 hour apart....?

    Oh btw, are you on 24/7 Tev?????

    #941
    @Hexlash

    .... almost? (Also, correct grammar would have been "Thou shalt not" XD)

    But seriously, I live in EST, and that's the time zone I'm writing everything in, so if you also live in EST, then the times listed are the ones you should use.

    #942

    "Daylight savings ended a few weeks ago."

    People as blissfully unaware of the world until they are told of things like me don't normally think of things like that, as in sometimes I forget which way what goes when what for and why, because I am dense and nobody bothers telling me anything until and if I need to know :(

    So if it were me, I'd probably have to factor in whatever time difference due to my cluelessness.

    General case aside, my time is still on DST!?

    Confusion reigns!

    #943
    Confusion ALWAYS reigns...

    Yeah, thee is wrong, it is only used in the context of ownership right? Wait... idk I was never taught this, but that aside....

    So for the time converter, I'm gonna just use EST ok? lololol

    @Tev

    Did you check the site yet?

    #945
    Confirmation?

    Ah.. I couldn't catch you ingame so I'll post it here.
    /looks around
    Oh Vog, everyone's looking D:
    Ah well, I'll just say it anyway.
    Confirmation of the minigame related to my last entry? Prizes to be distributed at the Ceremony as side-entertainment?
    Thankee.
    And you guys, you look away and pretend you ain't seen nuthin'. Okay? >.>
    /wave

    Stuff

    I have the first games up for the last week of the contest. I'll be posting additional games and/or mini contests each day through Wednesday. Judging of week 12 to go up tomorrow.

    @Vinny: ... I'm really sorry, but you'll have to refresh me as to what site you're talking about. I'm really forgetful.

    @Remilia: Kinda' hard to confirm since I have yet to see your last entry and we haven't been able to confirm your presence at the Ceremony. We'll chat in-game after I've seen the poem, since I'm not 100% sure what your mini-game is going to entail.

    @Timezone Converter

    Tev, I live in the Philippines, and it ends in a minute before 5-o' clock pm here. Quite early.

    @Tev

    Here it is then (I suggested this site to you through PM in-game. While definitely not a site for serious writing, it could help you develop different branching plots for your story.):
