Fiction in progress, but
Fiction in progress, but here's the thing. If I want to make a series of short stories, and enter the first one in the contest, can I? I would make this one, enter it in the contest, and continue the rest in Treasure Vault. They won't even follow the same storyline, (as in you could read part II without reading part I) merely under the same title: What Knights are Made of. So is this allowed? Thanks.

@Yttriu
Yes, you can certainly do that! Just make sure to indicate what, exactly, your entry consists of.

Of course. I'll have this
Of course. I'll have this entry on a thread, I won't update it until you're done judging, so that there is no confusion. Thank you!

@Yttriu
That's going to be a bit of a wait, since judging doesn't even start until December 1!
If the stories have different titles, you can just leave the title of the specific story you're entering and continue releasing the others on whatever schedule you'd like.

Hm... I had taken that into consideration, but I didn't think too long and hard about it. I suppose you're right. I'll have which part I enter labeled on my entry title. Thanks again Tev!

Two Questions
1.) When I finish your commission, is that a valid entry for the contest?
2.) If I were to make a SK comic type of thing, what category would it fall under?
Thanks for running this contest, Tev! ^w^

#309
@Lizzi
Anything I commission isn't able to be entered to win a prize, as I will have already paid you for it. XD
If you were to make a comic, it would go under the appropriate artwork category, depending on the characters and whether or not you used Spiral Spy. So if you hand-drew a comic where most of the characters were Knights, it would go into Artwork: Knights.
And thank you for considering participating! I really do hope everyone has been having fun.

The papaya wants to tell people who think his school is weird...
@Tev (and everyone else who thinks the school is crazy)
Well our school fees are already quite high. They kinda owe us the Macbook Pro's, and software, and warranty. In Grades 6, 8, and 11 (I think) You are given a free Macbook Pro which is for you to keep (unless you leave school before 2 years of getting your laptop). We also get all the updates like mountain-lion and stuff for free. Now, I'm not trying to brag in any way. I still think the school is crazy
They are always starting these "focus days" where we have to dress up with the colors of a specific countries flag (mostly if they had some kind of accident such as hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, etc). We also all have to donate anywhere between $1-$20. Even the teachers can't help but wonder (since they have to donate too) if the money is ACTUALLY going to the Global Concerns we are supporting (Like Tioman Turtles, Tabitha, etc)
Well, I guess its safe to say that the school I go to is UWC (not gonna say which one day, personal information XD)
P.S Sorry about the fact that this is off topic, it will be the last "off topic" post I will submit..........Just wanted to clear things up a bit

@Papaya: I've heard of private schools giving out computers and so on as part of the tuition before; I had just assumed that yours was among those.
@Latisan: As I ended up having to leave unexpectedly yesterday during the stream time you gave me and the recording isn't in your Livestream Video Library, will you adding it there or posting it to YouTube later?

Yikes!!! Very much my bad on this one...
I initially posted that we would be podcasting on Sunday.
Then I said that we would be podcasting at 2PM.
I MEANT but failed to communicate that it would be 2PM on Sunday. Nothing has been casted yet - looks to be this Sunday at about 2 or 2:15 ish PM EST. September 30.
Sorry about that. >.>

Mewkat Monster Pocket Prize
Okay guys, I have something of a conundrum, and I wanted to put it to all of you, as the participants, to help me figure out what to do about it, especially as several of you have chosen the Mewkat Monster Pocket as one of your potential prizes.
Back when I first set up this prize list some months ago (as I said in the acknowledgements post; I've been hoarding stuff for this contest since March) and added the Mewkat Monster Pocket, it was running between 300 and 350k cr, and was one of the items that I set as my top bar for the value of prizes I was giving out. Searching the market today, I find that it's now selling above 1.5mil cr, several times the price of the rest of the top tier prizes.
Now, there are a few options here, and I'd like you guys to tell me what you think is most fair, as I can't afford to increase the value of all the prizes in that tier (plus all the others to keep a reasonable scale). I could:
1) Remove the Mewkat Monster Pocket and sell it to make sure that more people get their first choices because I'll have the extra on hand to buy duplicates of hard-to-find items when they're available.
or
2)Retain the Mewkat Monster Pocket as a prize so that one entrant may potentially receive a prize worth quite a bit more than those received by other entrants who won in the same placement bracket.
So ... what do you guys think? Is there a way I didn't think of that could make it more fair?
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 12:15
#318
@Tevokkia
I don't mind this Mewkat (just for me). I prefer artwork as one of the prize for each tier :)
But I think most of guys would want this Mewkat thing.
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 12:19
#319
@Tevokkia, I think the pocket
@Tevokkia, I think the pocket should be removed, or added as a seperate "grand prize."
/e adds the mewkat pocket to his list, just in case.
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 12:21
#320
...
*facepalms at sudden expected addition of Mewkat to everyone's lists*
If it DOES stay, I do know exactly who had asked for it beforehand, and they'd be more likely to get it if it came to choosing between two people.
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 12:35
#321
Nope
I think you should remove it from prices.
Then other prices will be easier to get. :)

Just to be clear, I had it on my list originally but then replaced it with the (possible) total war costumes.

#324
Er, Tevokkia...
Can you please change the name used from "Cobalt-Star" to "Phantomhamachi", please? Cobalt-Star is my alt.
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 16:45
#325
Anyway ...
@Benightz - The prizes on that tier range from 300-400k, so they're all worth more than 100k. The pocket monster being much more than THAT is the problem; I certainly have no intention of getting another, even if I could afford that.
@Phantomhamachi - Alright, I'll do that; you happened to be using Cobalt-Star as your forum name when you first posted your entry.
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 17:02
#326
Tev
Yeah, I would suggest that you either:
-Remove it and
-[Keep it for yourself
-[Make it a grand prize (for best overall competitor?)
-Sell it like you said.
To leave it as it is would end pretty nasty. Besides, if everyone is adding the Pocket just because the price is boosting, then they won't lose anything if you remove it.

The papaya agrees with what Latisan-Sklay said
I agree with what Latisan-Sklay said. In my opinion, its not fair for 1 person to be a lucky winner and get the Mewkat Monster Pocket. Either:
1. You remove to prize
2. Make it a grand prize and reward it to the most "talented" submission (I don't really like this idea though, everybody put in a lot of effort into their work)
3. Keep it yourself (Its yours)
4. Sell it
I mostly agree with 1,3 and 4. 2 just seems a bit unfair

The papaya has a question
Phantomhamachi said something about Cobalt-Star being his/her (sorry, I don't know XD) being her "alt". Quick question..................whats an alt?
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 19:56
#337
You don't know alt?
Alt is alternate
As, you say, Phantom said something about Cobalt being his alt. That means Cobalt-Star is the second knight in Phantom's account, and Phantomhamachi is his first(?) knight.
Am I right?
Fri, 09/28/2012 - 20:30
#338
"Alt"
Yes, "alt" means "alternate". It indicates another knight that he plays.
Papaya, your Subject lines make my legit lol. ;)

1 sheep... 2 sheep... 4923 sheep
The mewkat issue doesn't really concern me, since I would just turn around and sell it. So I'm siding with Latisan. He/ she has a good point.

#340
Tev~ <3
Though it is not really relevant to me, since I doubt I will be entering in the main competition, I do not think you should keep the Mewkat in with that range of prizes, considering its worth. Unless at some time between now and then Nonna comes back to town with more Mewkitties XD I doubt you are going to want to keep it for yourself, but I can't stand the thought of you parting with it... But anyway, I can at least decide on that it should not remain in that prize bracket.

Mini Contest Caption
"Don't play with snipes, kid."
As far as these promo items becoming prizes, we'll see what I end up getting my hands on and what their market price ends up being after the promo is over. They may end up far outside the range of any of the prize tiers; my max worth on 5* is around 350k cr.
