The long arena nears its close;
The fight was hard, with many woes.
My body broken, shield now drained,
Must no more damage be sustained.

The retrode rears his ugly head;
My heart and soul are filled with dread.
The laser comes, its damage great;
I tried to dodge, but was too late.

I tumble down, and lay splayed out;
Just one last monster to snuff out.
Just one revive would do the trick;
Just one more slash, it would be quick.

I check my mist, but none remains;
The journey down had many pains.
So close to trimph I have come;
To stop so near would be quite glum.

Without the crowns, one way exists;
Just one last way can I persist.
Alas, though, I have no CE;
My hopes and dreams will die with me.

When r u going to choose the winner ??????

My IGN is duskfinder . Big surprise :)

just log on and snipe away 60 newbs for 500 each, or 30 for 1k each.

10k CE - wow that's a lot.

But you've fallen out of love with SK. What you didn't realise was that as your Mech batteries powered down a force was growing from the residual polarity. Jygantic was born! I came, I stomped, I conquered. I had my delver acheivement within a month. Nothing, your hear me, NOTHING, is going to stop me. This game is me and I am this game - it's not about love, it's about cold iron vanquishers and ruining zombie resurrection by stealing their totems. THEY'RE MY TOTEMS NOW! Vana held me back for a while but with the help of some of the bravest warriors I have ever met he was no match for us. It took alot of guts, determination and CE. I will need that again to go further. To probe the depths of Candlelight keep and come back a hero. Scathed, bruised and scarred, I will be triumphant! Lend me your arms, lend me your ears but most of all let me craft the most formidable weapon to wreak havoc on those kats until the gremlins below hear their pitiful cries of death and shudder. I will protect haven! I will scour the planet until there isn't a greaver left. That's right - I will take on greavers, I will take on zombies, hordes of them, kats, puppies, slimes and even you if you decide to try and hurt my fellow knights or the good people of Haven. 10K Ce won't bring back the skylark but it will help me to reign an almighty terror on the evils that dwell in the clockworks. LET THEM HEAR US, FEAR US, AND GIVE UP THOSE MATS! Join with me - anytime, anywhere, I will guide you as I have many towards the mouth of the Roarmulus twins - only to smash them shut, pick up a broken knight and carry him to Emberlight. I will carry you all if I have to, if that's what it takes to bring peace to this planet I will do it 1 devlite at a time. I only ask that as your energon depletes.. if you cannot hold onto it for the good of Haven.. please pass it on to someone that will.

I might as well give this a shot...

Last night my friend and I had a fight. A huge fight. He's very angry at me and he's threatening to never talk to me again if I don't make it up to him. He wants, of all things, 25 CE, saying he doesn't expect anything more from me. I'd like to really make it up to him by winning this contest and giving him most of the CE.

If I don't win I'd buy him some CE. But I can only afford about 750... this would mean so much more.

This is all thats needed.
Finally A HONEST PERSON. I dont need a whole story on my life, im just going to tell you straight. Id really appreciate that CE and i would use it till your hearts content. i hope i receive this since my age of 13 shows low level to those who are older, i do get hated but this could do me a MASSIVE favour. I Ask of you sincerely. Please can you think about me and please consider giving me the CE. My Apologies for the annoying request but i really do want it.
my in game name is Ash-Ice PLEASE give this. it makes me sad and hurts me not to have this. thankyou.

I don't deserve it because I would squander it recklessly on crafting new shiny things for me or crafting things to sell. Maybe I'd sell some to buy stuff from Basil or the AH and I might just open energy gates or start up mecha-knights just for lulz.

As it's 2 months since the thread started and the OP had given up then, I suspect that the prizes have either already gone or the OP has forgotten about this or it may have been a succesful trolling post. If my suspicions are wrong, let's hear who won and why.

I want to write a paragraph but I dont want the ce for myself!

I really think you should give it to this person I know, Crimson-Albedo. Dont know if you heard of him, but he is a great guy.

He uses all his effort in the game to help other players.
And I dont mean giving 1 or 2 free scrap metal or gel drops. He is giving out for free literaly everything he's got to help others! Crowns, ce, recipes, uved items, you name it!
Imagine that he has been playing this game for really long time and is a very good player too, but he wouldnt even gotten 5* equips if some of his friends haven't insisted and donated him to do so!
Whatever he got he spent on others.
And thats what he will do if he gets the ce! He wont spend it on punch-rolling, getting fancy uved items, or flashy heart-pendants.
He will just use it to help tons of players, with numerous ways.

Ive always said that what goes around, comes around, so this guy really, really deserves that ce if you take my theory under consideration! =D

He was an elite member of Order of Cross (a guild that was made to help other players, and sadly, recently got disbanded). Now, since Order of Cross seize to exist, he started a new guild White Lotus Society, continuing with the same cause, just to help others with everyway he can.

So I really think this guy would be the wisest choice to get this amount of ce.

As for the reason he loves SK, I dont think I can honestly answer that (since im not him! lol) but I guess showing that kindness and generosity can happen in a random mmo is one of them.
He surely showed me down to that path, and gave me something like a higher cause for the game, appart of having fun playing it!

ps This is not some kind of scam (cause im sure people will pop up saying it is!).
My IGN is Psilengos and his is Crimson-Albedo! We have common friends that can verify we are different people! haha

Anyways, thats my 2 cents on the topic. Just want to add that its a really great thing what you are doing. (Not trying to be a kiss-a$$, I honestly believe that!)

Yes, I'm pretty positive people are just entertaining themselves. BTW, Don't put faith in something unless your prepared to lose it. ;)

Saw the thread, so I wanted to post. Good luck to everyone!

The only reason I would deserve the CE is that I enjoy playing the game, but it's hard to do so with little Energy. Not just for myself either, but for me and my 2 friends that go on Clockworks runs who would receive a third of the energy. Unfortunately, while we realize paying real money isn't that expensive, all of us have a better place to spend it, so we're stuck with in game stuff only. We don't complain because it's free, but having the ability to do more would be a nice luxury to say. It's not even to progress anymore, it's just that doing things like trying new weapons and armors have such a steep entry price that we're unable to explore the game as much as we'd like to. I've known these guys for 8 years online, and this is the one game we play together, so we do what we can. That's why I like this game, because finally getting to play a game we all have interest in together after so long really feels like I know them in real life. Having extra CE is nice, so for each of us to get some, it would allow us to try new equipment and give us more reasons to keep playing together. For me at least, it's just about playing with them, and having the capability of doing more things with them.

I don't know what to say :S
This contest is hard >:S I guess I ma poke you until you give me the CE then :P

I think I would be one of the best candidates for the CE as I have been very active in Spiral Knights since October of last year. My IGN is Chris and I am the Guild Master of Knightmare. I'm always helping out new guildmates and people who don't have means to buy CE for themselves. I have played almost every major MMORPG for years and when I found Spiral Knights I knew it would be the one I play forever... It's got a great community, a great dev team, it's not too time consuming, and it's not too easy. The average shelf life on a Spiral Knights player is very short, as many people move on to other games when they get bored. When I Get bored of killing bosses/running the clockworks I host events such as Trivia Challenges, Lotteries and other random fun games. I also host tons of youtube events and make many video tutorials for newer players. I have invested a ton of my time and money into this game VIA a guild website, the Spiral Knights wiki, a Ventrilo server and all my random CE/crown lottery/giveaways. The CE would definately not go to waste if given to me because I'm always helping out other players and I have been active for almost a year (you know i'm not going to quit).

Hopefully you are having a great time doing whatever took the place of Spiral Knights in your life.

When r u going to

You should give it to me because... *holding Snipe tightly with a knife to his throat* BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T THIS CUTE LITTLE SNIPE IS GOING DOOOOWN >:)

God, he probably made this thread and forgot about it guys. FORGET IT. Nobody actually needs the CE anyway.
