See you derps in about five hours.
In the mean time perhaps you would like to fill in one of these.
Tev's Great Big Contest is over, but she'd love your feedback! Snubear! I finally finished your picture!

O.O
Just looked up the public guild halls.
Lionheart's not one of them.
Well, at least not now. Who knows?

@Vinnydime
They're not always public, but St-Leone and Mawashimono, the guildmasters, said they'd leave the hall open for us. St-Leone should be able to make it for at least part of the ceremony, but I believe Mawa has to work.

Thanks, but it will be fine. I've been in and out several times this week talking to them.
If worse comes to worse, my own guildhall is plain, but serviceable. I don't expect there to be any problem, though.

It's Overrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Okay everyone! Winners have been announced in the first post; I'm going to try to give everyone who couldn't attend their prizes tonight, but it's late and I'm really tired, so some of them may be tomorrow.
The Award Ceremony was hectic, but fun. My apologies to those who were trying to talk to me during the ceremony itself, as the lag and the speedy chat box kept me from seeing most things. Also to those who weren't able to come until the end because the hall instance was full of onlookers.
To those who won art: please let me know what you'd like me to draw for you either here, in-game, or by any of the contact methods in the "games" post.
To those who want feedback: please post to let me know what kind of feedback you want. Gentle commentary will be very different from a blunt critique, so choose wisely. Also let me know whether you'd like your feedback to be public.
Thank you again to everyone who participated. I'll put the thread stats from the opening remarks here:
The thread was posted on August 1, and since then has grown to 30 pages.
In the first 29 pages (after which I stopped counting) are 1450 posts by 95 unique users, containing at least 840 emoticons (because Latisan wanted to know), 145 jokes, poems, costumes, captions, and book titles that were created as mini contest entries, 109 entries that made it into the final judging, and about a half dozen others that didn't (usually because another was substituted) by 90 entrants.
You all have been very busy these four and a half months, and for that, I'm grateful to you all.
Goodnight!

Ah darn :<
@Engravement Ah damn, really? There was a livestream going on, so you can watch it if ya wanna see how it went, but it's not the same :C
The ceremony got flooded pretty fast and there was a big issue with lag and people generally not listening and running around, talking, swarming around Tev and using confetti/snowballs, making the lag worse (I had to leave after the first trivia round thanks to all the lag and to let someone else enter, not to mention having to take care of something). My respects to Tev for managing to keep her cool with all that going on.
Anyways, it was still a pretty darn big event and an amazing contest, thank you very much Tevokkia!

I'll try to get an edited version up on YouTube tomorrow.
As for prizes ... I'm having connection issues getting back onto SK right now, so the rest of them will have to be awarded tomorrow too.

STILL ALIVE 2: LIVE HARDER
I'm quite glad I triumphed
This contest was such a huge success
It has maximized our satisfaction
In the Lionheart guildhall
The attendees had a lot of fun
A hearty thanks from all of us
Except the ones who are mad
But there's no sense crying; you made few mistakes
Lets go wreck the town as we celebrate
And when all's said and all's done
We'll go back to our runs
Killing anything that's
Still alive
Few people are angry
And even fewer wear a frown
Even if we took their hopes and killed them
And tore them to pieces
And threw every piece into a fire
We don't care if it hurt because
We were so happy for you
Now these fics have been analyzed line-by-line
Along with the artworks on which we spent our time
Some stood tall while others burned
But in the end we all learned
We're all happy that you're
Still alive
We hope you're never leaving
But just don't spend too much time inside
Maybe soon we'll have contest #2
Maybe next weekend
...That was a joke, haha, fat chance
The ceremony was great
Although there was lots of noise
Look at me still talking, I've got winnings to spend
On assorted things, towards assorted ends
I've equipment to craft
And some fanfics to draft
As long as I am
Still alive
-----------------------------------------------------------
And once again, we can't say it enough: Thank you.

One placement, two community awards, a raffle and a word jumble. Excuse me while I go roll on my prize pile.
Thanks again for running this circus, Tev. I hope you had fun with it. c:

Tell me everything you feel is worth telling me? I'll take anything from "I like this for no particular reason" to an extensive critique if that's randomly what you're in the mood for. Posting it in here is fine.

I've gotten about 1/3 through awarding prizes via mail; if you have yet to receive yours, please sit tight, as Lydia is sick and I have to take her in to the doctor now. D:

Do I win a pri- never mind.
Apparently I won two hundred more CE for the otherwise unremarkable fanfic I typed up from scratch in half an hour. I'm serious. Working on nothing but the base idea. Feels are a powerful thing.
@Myq(I can't help but read that as "Mickey") Lydia is Tev's daughter.

Oh I'm so happy that I won something :)
Ceremony was at night, so I wasn't able to attend. Do I receive prize in game? If yes, how do I do that (sorry if stupid questions).

Thank you so much, Tev! I've been after a snipe for my head for a long time... but could never afford to go broke over it! Lol, like Z, I want to roll in my prize pile, except I am only going to roll in my one shiny! XD Hahahaha. I will hit you up in-game later. I hope Lydia gets well soon- seems like there's only ever two max healthy people in your house!
This was a fun contest, I don't know what my regular thread will be anymore D:

@Tev
Sir, I don't know you. Looking into this thread it is quite clear you deserve an award of some sort from OOO. The effort and time you have put into this contest is incredible and unbelievable. I recommend a spiral purple heart to you!
I reckon I'll be able to attend, at least for the first half of the ceremony.
On a sidenote, I think I forgot to edit a 5* version into my prize wants, as well as being distracted from the thread at the time you made the final edits. Uhm. Oops?
