@Vifig: You're welcome!
@Grittle: Yay!
@Everyone: Due to the huge number of entries I've already gotten, I'm cutting the word search down to one week. There will be another new opportunity to win on Friday.
EDIT: I just spent the last 5 hours making next week's puzzle. I'm sure you'll all tear through it faster than I expect, as usual. XD
Wow, I was just taking my time doing the word search. Luckily I came across your post about the shortened contest time for the word search. Time to pick up the pace =)
Taking time?
I finished.
yesterday.
a few hours after tev posted.
Only i had to send it later cause of a wedding I had to go to.
You finished already? Lol, I don't even think I'm halfway through. Well, blame homework, blame school, etc.
It wasn't too difficult, but everytime you thought you were done you looked qt it again and you find yet another one. There are so many! Anyways, I've finished, too. Still thinking of a good gremlin joke though.
Didn't see this in the rules on the main post, but I'm not sure if it's been answered somewhere along the way. Are we allowed to edit entries after posting them, if it's before the end of the submission period?
Yes you may; I take a look at the entries when they come in, but won't do any in-depth reading/critiquing/whatever until it's time for judging. So if you feel you need to make adjustments after you've submitted your entry, feel free.
I think Imma hold off before I figure out my last entry, as I have months to think. :)
Heh, yeah, another two months and a week or therabouts. XD
Subject: ENTRY (Poetry: Short Poem)
In-Game Name: BenNightz
Entry Title: Benightz Adventures
Entry: My name is Benightz
I love the night
But I'm also a knight
Who will kick your a**
It's true. He can kick it.
He's powerful
He can do anything
He loves to be in a tower full of cookies
Also with icing
It rains and Benightz causes thunderstorms
He can strike it anywhere
As fast as a lockdown striker
I'm a lockdown striker
I am a true one
I slash my sword with strike power
I go up the sky and strike it
DIE TO HELL! MUHAHAHAHAHA
I yell that everytime I kill somebody
I cry when somebody kicks my a** again!
And so it gets kicked again! :(
But I come to a rise or a fall?
The jellies decide whenever I should rise or fall
The royal jelly king will eat me
Luckly I will kick it's a**
It becomes hot
So I go in the shadow lair
I freeze in the RJP shadow lair
I am frozen to death. My strike powers do nothing
I died

@Benightz The language is fine. Is this an entry? If so, don't forget to fill out the entry from from the third post and put it in your post. ^.^
I can't find the entry where you have to fill it out.
The first bit of this post. Following the entry form are a couple of example forms filled out.
..don't think I should've put it all in capitals though.
In-Game Name: Remiliaoftheearth.
Entry Title: Begin!
Entry: Here
Prize Preferences:
Participation - Dusky Maid Headband, Fancy Vented Visor, 2000 crowns (this in no particular order)
1* - Dusky Mech'tennas, Iron Lockbox, Divine Bolted Vee (in order of desire)

Shall edit if I must.
That is a really nice picture you made! It seems to be the most awesome lockdown match ever! Especially vanaduke fightning with others. Really nice and creative picture!
@Remilia: Thanks for the entry!
@Benightz: Thanks for adding the entry form. You get to suggest the top three items you would like from each category on the list on the lower half of the entry form post so that I know what your preferences are when assigning prizes. Most of the stuff you have listed now are things that aren't even options, so if you did happen to win, you would probably get something pretty random.
There aren't actually any 5* equipments on the list, as the price for those after my having to unbind them is beyond, in many cases, the maximum value of even the top-level prizes. (Especially considering I have neither extra 5* items in my inventory or the inclination to go buy them). You may want to consider actually looking at the prize list to see whether there are any accessories/trinkets/useables you'd like, or whether you'd rather have currency (since I'm guessing, by your current list, that you are entirely disinterested in art).
Prize preferences:
1* - Gran faust recipe, 50k crowns, avenger recipe
2* - Polaris recipe, weapon slot, final flourish recipe
3* - shadow key/silver key, weapon slot, Disguise mask (Worth a big value)
4* - 2000 CE, faust recipe, art of a vog cub holding his voltedge and it shines. (Me)
5* - Trinket slot, vog cub coat recipe, vog cub hat recipe
Please read comment #2 by Tev. I'm afraid there's a set list of prizes available. Nice poem, though.
How can I post a message to you (Tev) in Tumblr? I'm on my handphone and I want to send my word search answer.
@Benightz – Prize preferences aside, your poem is longer than 20 lines, and should be in Free Verse (and Rhyming Poetry), not the Short Poems category, which is for pieces under that length :)
edit: eep never mind that, it's been reflected on the main post. Ah well, at least this will explain it if you're still confused.
The address to my Tumblr account is tevokkia.tumblr.com ... in the upper right corner, there is a row of icons; click on the circle with the question mark in it, and that will give you an ask box where you can type/paste your answers. If you don't have a tumblr account and have to send it anonymously, don't forget to include your name so I know who to credit the answers to!
Considering your latest preference list, I'm going to assume that it doesn't matter what you win, for the most part, if you do, and assign you a random prize.

1* - 5000 crs, 75 CE, Dusky Mech-tennas
2* - Dusky stranger hat, trinket slot, faust recipe
3* - Sealed sword (Need another one for a GF), 650 CE, Stranger hat (Divine)

Made up my choice.
@Dreathuxy: You can hover over the post number you want to link to and either click it so you can copy the url of that specific post out of your url bar, or right click and choose "copy link location". Then just paste the link in at the end of your post (or wherever you're putting it).
@Benightz: Thank you for finally cooperating. Hopefully you also edited your original entry post, as when I'm assigning awards I'll be on a time limit and that's the post I will be using. And no, the poem does not have to be 20 lines. There's one category for under 20 lines, and another category for over 20 lines. I just assigned it to the appropriate category when I listed your entry on the first post.
Guess I don't know what I'm doing.

Misc info: I'm working on a full animation, but there's no chance I'll finish it any time soon, so this thing is kind of cool looking and may fit this contest timeframe. It's basically the CIV remade, retextured, shadeless, and "animated" from scratch with a way higher polycout. I'm missing the cold swirly circle thingies but I haven't found a way to make them look and animate properly yet.
a gremlin-related joke, huh?
Did you hear the one about the gremlin who got his right arm and right leg cut off?
No?
Well, that's okay. He's all LEFT now!

Mini Contest 4
Noob: Grittle... ARE YOU SEERUS???? YOU JUST THWACKED ME IN THE HEAD!
Thanks for the entries, guys! I'll add them to the front page now. ^.^
Also, thanks to everyone who's put in pun entries so far. I was beginning to think that no one would enter! ^.^;
Hey Tevokkia,
No problem! Thanks so much for your work on this project. It really is a great thing. Congrats on getting mentioned by the SK news!
Also, I was wondering. I do a podcast on Spiral Knights with a friend. We recorded the first few episodes last month, but then all our contact information changed so we're planning on recording the first and second episodes again this Sunday. We discuss all aspects of SK that we can - do you mind of we advise people to come and check out this project?
Also...
Mini Contest 4 (an extra one - is this legal?):
After halting the progress of the Grand Arsenal, Latisan-sklay and Lord-hood walk away from the battle floor, as a dramatic explosion goes off behind them.
Through the wreckage, you can hear Seerus shouting in his strange accent, "This isn't the last you've heard of the Crimson Order, knights! I will return, and I will--"
Latisan interrupts and makes a face. "Hey! Why so SEERUS?"
So, attack those stupid knight thingys!
HARRRR
Don't yell like that -_-
But I love to yell HARRRRRR
Your not a pirate.
Gremlin president: I promote this gremlin to idiotic gremlin rank. One of the lowest ranks ever. You win nothing, but broze scraps.
Gremlin Idiot: Ya I'm an idiot!
Gremlin president: FIGHT
Gremlin idiot: Do you love water? I love clocks
Gremlin president: *Smashes axe*
Thanks for the mini-contest submissions, guys. XD
@Latisan: You're welcome, and thank you! I'd love to have the extra bit of advertising! Where can I find your podcast? I didn't realize anyone was doing one, and it might be nice to give it some love on Adventure is Delicious and/or Rock Jellies & Other Curiosities.
Im working on my top secret super duper horrible sketch of a sketch of a monster...
Yea...
