We're playing Lat's favorite game this week
Rundown of how last week's events panned out:
Game: Find that word! - Find as many Spiral Knights related words as you can in the puzzle and send me your list! Words may be left-right, up-down, or diagonal left-right. Nothing backward this week. I'm going easy on you. LordofNecromancers is the winner this week, having found all 30 words! Several people corrected me over putting "Phial of Fear" in rather then "Phial of Phear", and the random word combination "sage seal" turned up in the puzzle, much to some players' confusion.
Contest: Libraries of Cradle - Submit a book title that might be found on Cradle, whether it be in the library of the Spiral Order, hidden among Owlite tomes, or on a bookshelf somewhere in the Colony. Be sure to include an author! Extra points for bonuses like publishers, editors, or dedication pages. Latisan-Sklay and his last minute entry take the cake this week, although we had a few very good entries.
Random Poster this week is Hexlash!
Livestream Sunday requests went to Shue-Donnym and Raphael-Sabrewing this week. Enjoy, guys!
Just like last time, remember that your prizes will be mailed from the knight Dynasty-Kordsov, because that's where Tevvie keeps her contest funds.

:D The first week has ended. And I won the word search thing. :3
A little tip for completing those kind of things: When in doubt, type up all the letters in order collumn by collumn, row by row, and diagonal by diagonal on Microsoft Word and look for any words.
Anyway, my not so hidden references in my libraries of cradle thing, for those of you who didn't find them
Penta H. T. Rinket = Penta Heart Trinket
General Feron = GF = Gran Faust
D. Aris = DA
Fin Flour = Final Flourish. Biscotti part is cause 'Flour' is a cooking ingredient and I needed to put something in and whatever.
Bob T. Builder= BTB

It's Hexlash, too lazy to switch accounts.
Look at title. It is important.
Anyways, weekly contest, (Remember I won last contest with my haiku, ha ha ha)
Title(Cuz everything needs a title! ^^): Every Beginning
Falling from the sky,
The sound of opening door.
A journey begins.
Aw man this one SUCKED, I gotta step my game up :C Anyways, question, I'm pretty sure you've probably said this somewhere, but due to confuse ray, I'll just ask... How many times are we allowed entering in a category? I know(think) we're allowed to enter in as many categories as we please, but how many entries each? THAT is THE question! >:D
EDIT: LOL LoN, had no idea bob the builder stood for BTB xD, yiou're hilarious! /derp

@Hex
You may enter up to three times in the art categories, plus three times in the writing categories, each in a different category. Special categories don't count toward your entry limit.
So if you wanted, you could enter once each in Character Drawings and Paintings, All The Arts, Concepts, Fan Poetry, Short Fiction, and Mini Fiction, plus 17 entries in the special categories, for example. Not that you would, because that's a lot of entries.

ENTRY- Rhyming Poetry and Free Verse
In-Game Name: Xairathan
Entry Title: Fall
Windswept leaves paint for me a portrait
framed in wreaths of orange and red
plucked from arcing mahogany trees
long since harvested for their Lumber
Deeper delving into hungry caverns
cloaked in ash and flickering flame
The crimson halls of ruined Almire
to this day glow with angry amber
And into ever-darker places
where fiery twins with open maws await
Do we journey in our quest
'midst four ever-twisting gates
The autumn leaves gird my hands
And fires of despair and technology burn bright
As upon the stalwart elevator
Deeper and deeper I continue to Fall

Darn you!!!
Everyone is using humour! It seems as though every mini contest you host, is really a contest of who can be the funniest lol xD Btw, @Artist, Haiku's are quite simple, they are meant to invoke deep thought and emotion, using very little words (please don't start disagreeing with me, idc lol) but in this case, everyone is just coming up with clever ways to display humour... XD
This doesn't count, but, why not?
The Snipes sit in peace.
Along comes the crazy knight...
Bye bye peaceful Snipes :(
lol
EDIT: Btw, is it just me, or can everyone's Haiku's be read as a single sentence, with no pauses, more like a
sentence or statement
broken into three lines of
text, lol I'm clever
jk guys, I love them all /rofl

Weekly Contest
My tummy rumbles
I wear mountains of jelly
Yet I have no mouth
I can only imagine the torture that a spiral knight would feel while wearing jelly armor.
Sorry it isn't very good, but I have a hard time coming up with funny stuff that works in a haiku.

Doc, Help! Gremlins ate all my friend's cake!
I only used each letter once, but I got a little confused so there may be a need to check that this only uses each letter once. I also hope that it makes sense enough to count as a complete entry.

Hi Peeps!
Look at all that haiku action!
@Xair: Okay, got your entry and putting it on the front page now. ^.^
@Dk: I admire your ambition for the entries, but no need to reserve them! There's no limited number of entrants.
Sorry I've been pretty inactive for a few days, guys ... work has me hopping and I have a lot to do around the house to prepare for a trip.

New story on the way
I'm going to post a rather long short-fiction story, probably just under the 10,000 word limit. It'll be 7 or 8 chapters, and I'll post a chapter a week, but it uses Battle sprites, so I'm kind of waiting for their release.

@Sparkplug - You're very welcome!
@Dk - I just noticed that you planned to edit your previous reservation post with your actual entries; please make a new post with each entry, it's much easier for me to see them when they're posted to make sure they don't get passed over. If you're concerned about being able to find your entries, there will be links to them all under your name in the entry post on the first page.
Thanks to everyone who has submitted haiku and anagrams so far! They're looking great!

I have an idea for a short story, which I promise is relevant to the game and your theme unlike what I did last time. I should be able to get it posted by next weekend with enough Johnny Cash to keep the train rolling. Expect a similar mood to my entry for the first contest. Beep barp boop.

@Luguiru - Sounds good!
@Everyone - Only an hour or so left to get your game and mini-contest entries in! I don't actually have any requests for Livestream Sunday this week. Like, at all. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised how little interest people have in free art at the moment ...
... as I'll be out of town next week, there won't be a Livestream Sunday then, but I'll still do a game change at the usual time. If I don't get any requests in the next half hour, we won't have one this week, either (but I do have the next game and mini contest ready to change).

Coming soon...

About to explode. Where to go?
Tev's Great Big Contest
Bad SK insults:
"Can't beat a Scuttlebot?" or
"Bite a Rocky Core."
Art Request
Basically, whatever you can do with one of the knights in http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=138331543
I'm looking specifically at the knight on the far right (the pink one), a good friend of mine.
I didn't get a chance to get a solid picture, and if that's what you'd like, I can provide next time.
I do know the accessories' specs – vert. vents, flower, ribbon, party blowout on the helmet. ...if you get to the body, valk wings, cat tail, bomb bando, love aura.

@Latisan - If you can get a good picture, that would be great. It looks like this is going to take me more than the time I'm allotting for these anyway, so it would be really helpful to be able to see clearly what I'm doing.
@Everyone else - Two hour warning!
EDIT: My power is flickering like it wants to go out, so if I'm late, it may not be until morning my time that I'm able to update.

Winners! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*: ･ﾟ✧
Game: "Quick! Can I hide in your guild hall's Arsenal station? The Snipes are after my Jelly Gems!" - Using the letters in this week's game title, create me some SK anagrams. No just looking through the wiki for words ... entries must be phrases or sentences that are not just item or location names. You may only use each letter once for every time it appears in the sentence. I had trouble choosing the winner this week, so Sol tie-broke, making Dkjadfjk the winner with: "Help, Doc! Gremlins ate all my friend's cake!" Xairathan is our runner-up this week for "The Ice Queen stole my underpants! Now my ar*e is cold!" (light censorship since I'm not sure if that would count as cursing)
Contest:The contest this week/will be haiku poetry/watch your syllables - Submit a single haiku (remember, 5/7/5 format) on any Spiral Knights related topic. Two winners this week, one for silly haiku and one for serious haiku. Silly haiki winner is Grittle for Scattered in Haven/The Beggars are crying out/"Can I hav crownz plz?" while Narfle wins for serious haiku My dear Snarbolax/Who hides away from the world/Can you hear me ring?
Random Poster this week was Artistbma!
Next Livestream Sunday will be two weeks hence ... remember that I don't have as much time to stream as I used to (I do a lot of actual work on Sundays, so need to get straight back to paid digital painting directly after the stream, so pictures need to be simple enough to be finished in half an hour to an hour and come with good references.
Sorry the changeover was late- I lost power a few times. XP I'll get crowns sent out after I wake up again; if you won, make sure I have your IGN, since a few of you are new winners to TGBC (namely Dk and Narfle, but if the rest of you peeps want your monies sent to a different name than I'm used to your having, let me know)
