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.

    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.

    @Yttriu: True though it may

    @Yttriu: True though it may be that there does indeed exist an armor set with Normal and Piercing defense, Poison (Status) Resistance, and a Damage Bonus vs Slime: Low, neither of the set fit properly within column 5. I have found, however, a piece of Equipment that does fit perfectly within the column though has Fire Resistance in addition to Poison Resistance as well as Normal and Piercing Defense and a Damage Bonus vs Slime: Low. I am thus led to believe that there has been a simple typographical error for the phrase: "Poison and Status Resist" itself does not make sense.

    EDIT (in response to below):
    Xxpapaya did but you misunderstood him/her.

    #402
    @Windsickle

    Yes, apparently that is a typo. I'm actually a bit surprised that no one had caught it before now. ^.^;

    #403
    Kaboom

    I want to enter more contests, but I suck at all of them. So I really suck

    #404
    The sum of my dreams in SK

    In this contest, the only item I could wish for as a prize would be a certain 4* shield. Anyone care to guess what it is? Im also slightly obsessed with gremlins, which may or may not be related:)

    #405
    Pshaw, shield

    Haha, honey, if I had that shield, I would not be giving it away as a prize. I've been searching for one for myself since I started playing. XD

    #406
    The papaya seeks..............................

    Wow, did a search up on all the rare items and I'm surprised that there seem to be only 3. Darkfang Shield, Zee Core and True Love Locket (curse you OOO and Sega for making such a cute monster, yet we are torn weather to kill the gun puppy and have a chance of getting the locket or let it be happy, healing all of its friends *us*)
    My favorite is the True Love Locket =) They should make some rare drops for Mewkats, Soul Jellies, and Rock Jellies as well, well, mainly Mewkats.

    #407
    Only 3?

    What about that helmet that Clotho has, whose name escapes me at the moment? Is that still around? (im pretty sure theres only one)

    #408
    XD

    The True Love Locket is all well and good, but the only difference between it and the Penta-Heart Pendant is the name. Thus why I have 2 Penta-Heart Pendants.

    #409
    Rarities

    Speaking of which, are they ever going to bring back some of the other removed parts of the game that people seemed to like - tortodrone, golden trojan, or vogs?

    #410
    Errr, I dunno

    Heh, no idea. I don't exactly have any sort of inside information. XD

    One thing I'd like to see is that closed-off space in the Jelly Farm re-opened. I can see Treasure Boxes over there and I want to be able to get them!

    #411
    They'll most likely never re-add gold monsters to the game as

    Theyre invincible. :)

    #412
    Lick

    @Tevokkia, One time, some guilds and I tried to use the old "petting zoo" glitch to get into that area. Didn't work though, we ended up just spawning on top of each other.

    @Artistbma, Actually, they did. In the form of golden Wisps and Shankles.

    #413
    My contest submission is almost done!

    My fan-made Spiral Knights promotional video is pretty much done, so you can expect to see it sometime during the weekend in which I have enough time to upload it to Youtube. :x

    Question: Am I the only one as of now to submit a video to this contest?

    Krogmo HQ Casual Friday

    Hugs Tev,

    I'm sorry I haven't been particpating in your event for the past couple of weeks. I got very sick and landed in the hospital for awhile. I'm now at home recovering but am still very ill. I wanted to submit an artwork entry to make everyone smile while I can.

    The artwork was done with GIMP and Corel Photo Paint + Wacom tablet. Not sure which category to place this as there are 2 gremlin hula dancers, King Krogmo in a straw crown, 1 disgruntled Toxilargo wanting to free his brothers in the bar lava lamps, the OOO office bar, and some totems.

    Oh no! Sorry to hear you've been sick, but it's good you're on the mend. Hope to hear you've made a full recovery soon!

    And thank you for the entry! I'll add it to the front page right now. ^.^

    The papaya starts to understand

    @Oatmonster Looks like jellies don't like us :(, wonder if the jelly family has guilds. Maybe they have a guild named "In the Knights" ? or maybe "Echo of Squishy" or even "The Jellypire"....................
    Anyways, about adding that treasure box place back........................didn't OOO and Sega say that they removed it because there was a monster there called the Jelly Green Giant? And wasn't it removed along with the treasure box place because it just started ripping through players (basically it was too strong, in my eye, its a green version of the jelly king XD) More info here http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/1006#comment-6337 .

    #426
    The papaya adds one more thing

    Oh and in response to Lord-Hood.............I'm pretty sure that the helmet Clotho has is a GM special helmet. Just like the ban stick and their abilities (walking through barriers, invisibility, dropping strange pills, dealing damage to players with the ban stick, etc) Copied This from the forums (below):
    Game Masters are customer support operatives that will help you have a better Spiral Knights experience. Game Masters take their names from Greek gods, titans, or weather patterns and natural phenomena.

    Only official Three Rings Game Masters have *Game Master* under their names in game. Game Masters have unique armor and helmets, as well as a purple circle around their feet.

    Known GM powers:

    Special GM-only gear and costumes
    Super movement speed
    "The Ban Stick," a crowbar-shaped weapon that deals extremely high damage
    Ability to turn invisible or walk through walls/barriers
    Able to join parties, even beyond the 4-player limit
    All chat and tells from a Game Master will appear in special purple text
    Able to summon and drop special pills in select situations
    EDIT: In response to Windsickle, I'm a "him"/boy =P

    Hmm

    Should I release my novella all at once, or chapter by chapter?

    @Lord-Hood

    My usual preference is all at once, but as I won't be actually reading it thoroughly until December, chapter by chapter is fine. As long as you get up everything you want to be part of your entry, anyway.

    Sad Uruk

    I'm sad because my English is so poor, that I can't even discuss here or make Mini contest. :(
    If this contest would be in Polish I could do plenty of poems, fiction and more... so I wanted you to know that it is the reason I'm being quite for long...

    :(

    Sorry I can't accommodate other languages ... I know a bit of Spanish and a few words in some other languages, but no Polish.

    Novella

    Oh, I guess that means I should finish my story and put it up then, huh? XD

    Switching weeks

    When you say 11:59, do you mean pm or am? Meaning, do you switch midnight Friday night (which would be 9 pm game time on Friday) or noon Friday day (which would be 9 am game time Friday)? Either way, I look forward to trying next week's challenge, and hope my collaborator and I did well on this one.

    @Benightz

    It's nice of you to want to help, but what is it you wish to assist me with?

    @Everyone
    The game changeover may be a bit off-schedule this week ... a busy day away from home, a sick little girl, and prepping for last-minute houseguests tomorrow hasn't let me a lot of time to complete everything.

    #437
    Then I can help?

    I will not be participating that much, but I would like to help assist you in the weekly contest. I can help give you ideas

    @Benightz

    That's very nice of you, but I already have them all planned out; I just have to do setup each week (like making the word puzzle images and finishing the cartoons that I already have sketched out for the caption contests). I do really appreciate the offer, though.

    #439

    Mini Contest

    There was once a jelly cube who had a strange discoloration about him. It was something only other jellies would notice. He was made fun of and ostracized. One day, wandering alone, he happened upon some strange open iron boxes. Inside he found a toupee and quite the dapper combo. "That's it!" he exclaimed, and rolled around in them until they were attached to his gelatinous body in fitting places. Having successfully covered his shame, he rejoined his jelly brethren only to find that he now stood out in a good way. He always rolling in the crowns now!

    --

    Note that I do not subscribe to the moral in this story XD
    Also, yay for post #444

    #445

    I got all the answers in the crossword right! O: Except that I put 'Drones' instead of 'Drone,' but it does have 6 spaces... lol. I know this because I actually filled it out on the crossword. I'm not crazy, right? I count six spaces for 17 down D:

    ENTRY (Category Mini Fiction)

    In-Game Name: Myqpalzm

    Entry Title: The Village

    Entry:

    A long time ago in Cradle, before the Skylark crash, there was once a village lived by many creatures from the smallest lichen to the massive Tortodrone. In the village, there are one family that rule the village, it was the jelly family. Let me tell you the history of the village. It started from a battle of the jelly kingdom and the gremlin order. The battle last for almost 1 year, with so much other creature died. The final battle takes place in the widest land in Cradle. The battle was big, with many corpse lying in every corner. With a full equipment, the gremlin attacked the final jelly group. With their last strength, the jelly succesfully swallow the gremlin's equipments. Before the jelly kills the last remain of the gremlins, they immediately make a promise for the jelly. The gremlin promise that the jelly family and the other family will never get hurt again by every gremlin clans. The promise shows the end of the great battle between the jellies and the gremlins. As a celebration of the jelly's victorious, they make a big party in the land where the final battle located. After the party, the jelly worker got a direct order from the Royal Jelly to build a village in the land. They builded a massive village without worrying about their reward for the making of the village. When the village is done, the Royal Jelly requested all the creature in Cradle, including gremlins, to live in the village and they live happily forever.
