Prizes have been distributed! Thanks for playing!
Ladies and gentlemen,
As one of the hosts of the Arsenal Podcast, I'd like to welcome you to the Arsenal Podcast Winter Giveaway!
What is the Arsenal Podcast?
The Arsenal is a weekly radio talk show all about Spiral Knights. Each week, three hosts – myself, Lord-Hood, and Zangrious – come together and record an hour long show where we talk mostly about the game of Spiral Knights. This includes analytical discussion of the weekly news, weekly features of fan media, and discussions about as many aspects of the game as we can.
You can find all the episodes of the Arsenal Podcast on our website at http://sklayelite.com/arsenal.

Can I get some of that stuff?
Absolutely! Your entry is not dependent on any kind of skill or ability, and in theory you have the same chance of winning stuff as anyone else.
When does this contest end?
The contest will end on January 5, 2014 at 11:59AM EST (GMT-5).
How do I enter?
Simply this. Contact us with the following format:
IGN: Your in-game knight name. We will send your prize to this knight.
Weapon name: Give the name of one single weapon name: sword, gun, or bomb; any star or tier; DLC or not.
Do you listen to the Arsenal Podcast? Please answer with yes or no. If you feel so inclined, we'd love to hear some feedback on what you think of the show (if you answer "yes") or why you don't listen (if you answer "no"). Whether you listen to the show or not does not in any way affect your chances of winning.
NOTE! Only entries that fulfill all of these criteria will be accepted! If you want to be absolutely sure you get it right, copy paste the form below:
IGN:
Weapon Name:
Do you listen to the Arsenal Podcast?
IMPORTANT: Why am I giving you a weapon name?
We will be collecting everyone's IGN and the weapon name they give. At the end of the contest, if the weapon you have given matches someone else's weapon at the end of the contest, you may lose eligibility to win a prize. If your weapon is unique, you are guaranteed a prize. This rule is being implemented to accommodate more contest entrants. Just because your weapon matches someone else's doesn't mean that you are guaranteed nothing, but your changes of receiving nothing go from 0% to x%, where x is an actual number.
Please note that we will unfortunately not be able to give you the weapon you choose. The giveaway prize you receive is to be puled from the prize list (see above).
Where do I send my form to?
You can contact us privately and let us know:
- Send me an in-game mail – my IGN is Latisan-Sklay.
- Send us an email at arsenal@sklayelite.com.
- Leave us a message at 1-678-322-7765 (the call goes straight to voicemail).
Or you can contact us publicly. Perhaps that's part of your strategy? Post publicly so that others won't pick the same thing as you in hopes of being unique?
- Post on this thread
- Post on any of our social medias. We have a Steam page, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Youtube. Find them by practicing your Googling skills with "The Arsenal Podcast Spiral Knights"!
Is there a "grand prize" in all of this?
Actually, yes. The hosts of the podcast have also each picked a weapon. If you give the same weapon that they have, you win one of the three grand prizes (representing three hosts), chosen at random.
Prize: Humbug Hat, Prismatic Mustache
Prize: Haunted Aura, Divine Stranger Hat
Prize: Love Aura, Military Eye of Fury
If you guess one of the grand prize weapons after someone else, sorry – first come first serve and you get a normal prize like everyone else.
Is there anything else I should know?
Please be aware the by participating in this giveaway, you acknowledge that you will accept what you are given without debate about the true "randomness" of the award.
Along with the recorded version of the podcast on our website, you can actually watch us record the show live if you have some time on Sunday. We record here at 2PM EST (GMT-5) most every Sunday. Maybe drop by sometime and say hello!
This giveaway was made possible almost completely by some of the awesome people in our community:
HRPB, who servers us maple vodka in the live stream.
Sol-Ether, also known as Sun Juice and the voice of Zisteau and an excellent source for information and guest on the show.
Tevokkia, who serves us as live stream and forum moderator and is also an excellent source for information and guest on the show.
Glacies, who we can always depend on if we have a technical question about the game. He's also a really good partner for Grinchlin Assault.
Sir-Greenlink, of whom words cannot express how helpful he is to the podcast and my dealings with Spiral Knights in general.
Snakessz, who hates me but that's okay. It's all in fun when SNAKESS17!!! is around. He's also a really good partner for Save Winterfest.
Sky-Scythe, who always has good input into the show and also has a great voice.
Krakob, who is a literal pirates' cove worth of technical information about the game and a great guy to hang out with.
If you see any of these awesome knights in-game, say hi, tell them that the Arsenal sent you, and thank them for their help in making this giveaway a thing!
And with that, good luck everyone!
I like it when the community bunches up together and create awesome content out of the game.
Ign : Zaffy-Laffy
