Winners announced http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/117281#comment-1047105

Valentine's Day is nearly here! Cronus and I arm wrestled to see who would steal Aphrodite's helmet and host this event this year, and I won! flexes her superior muscles I must add you are very lucky I did win; if Cronus won his intention was to have you make your Spiral Knights themed Valentines just for him. I'm not so mean, and this year I want you to make a Spiral Knights themed Valentine that can be given to anyone in the game. (Including Cronus, if you must)

General Format:

The Valentine must have three things:

- A cheesy, Spiral Knights themed line. Groan-worthy puns are encouraged. For example, "I think of you knight and day."
- A "TO:" field, left blank.
- A "FROM: field, also left blank.

Deadline: February 16, 2017, 11:59 PM Game Time (Pacific time zone)

Prizes: Three (3) winners from each of the two entry categories will be able to pick between a forever love puppy mask, a love aura, heart eyes, lovely glasses, or specify which monster pocket you want (chroma whelp, love puppy, hoptimer, or mewkat). Other prizes may be added depending on participation, and all entries will get a participation reward of purple fireworks!

-----------------------

Category 1: Paper and Crayon

1 - Obtain a sheet of white paper and some crayons.
2 - With the crayons, create your Spiral Knights Valentine on the sheet of paper.
3 - Make sure your entry displays the name of your knight and February 14, 2017 somewhere on your Valentine.
4 - Scan or photograph, and upload the image(s) of your Valentine on a website that allows you to link to it. For example: deviantArt, Tumblr, or Imgur
5 - Submit your entry in this thread: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/117282

Your entry post must must use the format:

Knight Name:
Link to entry image:
Prize preference: Forever love puppy mask, a love aura, heart eyes, lovely glasses, or specify which monster pocket you want (chroma whelp, love puppy, hoptimer or mewkat).
Winning entries may be posted on social media. If you'd like to have us @ you in the post, please include your Twitter name in your entry.

-----------------------

Category 2: Knock Yourself Out

In this category, it's a free-for-all! You may submit poetry, macaroni art, drawings, prose, animated gifs of your own making, whatever. Pour forth your feels and create a masterwork.* Once you have done so:

1 - For art and video, upload your entry to a website which allows you to link to it, such as YouTube, deviantArt, Tumblr, or Imgur. For written entries, you may paste the text into the body of your entry post.
2 - Make sure your entry displays the name of your knight and February 14, 2017. This can be done using an index card or small sign if it can't be added to the Valentine itself.
3 - Submit your entry in this thread: http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/117283

Your entry post must have the following format:

Knight Name:
Link to entry image, or if your entry is written, put the text here:

Judging Criteria:
Judging will be based on creativity, execution, and the earnestness of your feels. Judges will also take into consideration the quality of the photo/scan submitted. Be sure your Valentine is in focus!

*But please keep it clean--no Rule 34 or anything else that would violate the Forum Rules.

PLEASE NOTE:
- You may enter more than once, but only one entry per knight will be awarded a prize. You may enter each category, but you may only win in one category.

Oi!

Eek! Only a few days to scrounge up some puns!

Can the entry be designed for a specific knight, or would a blanket statement be better? Because if it's the former, then my pun game may be just a wee bit stronger.

Not for a specific Knight, sorry!

It should be appropriate for giving to anyone in game, rather than to a specific player.

One time I tried hitting on Cronus. He deleted my comment, and broke my heart. True story.

Worth A Try...

"Prizes: ..... Other prizes may be added depending on participation"

Can I get a Rageous Plate Mail instead? I really want one so badly...
If not,... well its worth a shot.

Editing is Fine!

..up until the deadline you can edit. Any editing after the deadline will mean I'll have to disqualify your entry.

I'm afraid not. We won't be substituting the prizes for this event with other prizes, and the additional prizes mentioned are generally smaller prizes for runner-ups if we have a lot of entries.

i feel the love

All these entries and all the love! Best of luck to all who entered!

Who knows, perhaps you'll have the winners announced before Cronus gets the Hardcore Mode Event's winners announced.

That being said, can you check up on him? I seem to be missing a rather large amount of molasses and I think I just realized where it may have run off to...

looks like so!

Congrats to all the winners! I made myself a winner by going out and buying bulk half-off valentines day candy, so I'll just add myself onto that list in a footnote.

This time it looks like you beat Cronus in terms of time! Purple is clearly quicker on the draw here.

(Also I was totally going to suggest that my purple fireworks be packaged up in an inconspicuous lime box and delivered to his doorstep as a purple trojan horse, but looks like you delivered them to me too quick. Once again #teampurple was too fast!)
