Artists' Choice and Community Choice Ballots
I will be doing a drawing with a CE prize from among all of the people who voted.

Instructions:

  1. Look through each of the groupings of entries and determine your favorites
  2. Copy and paste the Ballot below into your post. If you have an entry in the contest, use "Artist Choice" as your subject line. If you do not have an entry, type "Community Choice."
  3. Fill in the form with the letter designation of the pieces you wish to vote for in each category. Do not use the titles of the pieces or the entrant who submitted it. If there are seven or more pieces in a category, you may vote for up to three different pieces in the category. If there are six or fewer in a category, you may vote for two of them.

Notes:

  • If you wish your votes to remain completely anonymous, you may send them to my email, in-game mail, etc, just as you would a game entry.
  • If you do not see your entry among the pieces up for vote, it is because each piece can only win one prize and you are already slated for one.
  • If you do see your entry among the pieces up for vote, it is not because I don't have another prize above participation intended for you, only that I don't intend to assign any of them until after the votes for this in.
  • The entries are listed in no particular order, so please don't read anything into it. I opened up each entry in a category in a window, then clicked on them randomly until I had saved them all.

    How to Win

    Enter the contest!
    Your entry can be a piece of art, a story, a poem, an animation, or a SpiralSpy piece, depending on the category you enter. There are several categories to choose from, several prizes in each category, and prizes just for participating.
    Be awesome to each other
    I'll be giving out citizenship awards to those who show exemplary support and encouragement to the entrants, or who are generally helpful within the thread (i.e. politely providing answers to questions I have already answered but the person may have missed, making good suggestions, etc.)
    Just show up!
    All non-spam posters will get an entry into a weekly raffle. There will be an additional raffle at the end of the contest for all posters.
    Attend the awards ceremony!
    There will be door prizes and possibly games during the event.
    Play games!
    Each week, there will be a different game happening in the thread.

    Rules
    Rule-breakers will get no more than a single warning before being disqualified, either from the contest or the weekly raffles, depending on whether or not you are an entrant. For large infractions, such as mass-spamming, flaming, or obvious TOS breakage, I will not warn you before making a report.

    1. All posts and entries, as usual, need to follow the Spiral Knights TOS
    2. No spamming. A bit of chatter is fine, but I like my topics to stay on topic.
    3. No criticism of the entries. If an entrant specifically asks for critique of their work, only constructive criticism is allowed.
    4. All rules here also apply to any threads linked from here. Misbehavior in my Stone Field Borough thread, or any threads containing entries will be treated as though it were misbehavior here.
    5. Do not enter anything that you yourself did not create; this will result in not only immediate disqualification, but you will be barred from any future contests I may hold.
    6. You may enter no more than three times, in different categories.

    Entries by Contestant
    In the order that they were entered.

    XD

    Hey, sweet! Over 500 posts! I'll try to think of a nice little mini prize for that.

    Art and CE for whoever gets 1000!

    As for the word search ... I didn't hand make it this week; I was pressed for time and used a generator that I plugged all the words into. Honestly, I didn't really expect all the words to fit, but apparently they did. I'm still finding them all myself. ^.^; (I get to use the word list, but as I said earlier, I went to sleep shortly after and have only found 3 words after quick couple moments of searching)

    Thanks to those who have made mini-contest entries already!

    @Artist

    Your not famous. Lol.

    Anyways, Week 7 mini caption contest

    Caption: The idiot gremlin who got a dark bomb as a gift

    Idiot gremlin: Here's a bomb we can use to defeat the knights!
    Gremlin: You idiot, that is a bomb which can kill us and it's super effective.
    Idiot gremlin: This is a present for you! Open it!
    Gremlin: But it's gon--(KABOOM)

    #505
    Rules for 1000

    We do not spam this post. Even when 1000 CE is on the line.

    You spam, and I find you and... we'll leave it at that.

    #506
    !!!!!!!!!!!

    I never said how MUCH CE!!!! Whether it's 100 or 1000 or something in between will probably be decided by how much CE is left in the coffers when we get there. XD

    But yes, no spam. As I said on the first page, spammers get warnings. Enough warnings and they get disqualified from both main contest and mini contests.

    #507
    Agreed.

    1 sheep... 2 sheep... 4923 sheep...

    Caption Contest: Week 7

    Gremlin Man: Don't come near me!

    Gremlin Child: Don't worry. The bomb doesn't work.

    Gremlin Man: No, your fur is dusty. You know how allergic I am.

    #509

    Who cares about 500? :D I got #444 which is our lucky number hehe.

    Word Search

    For those of you doing the puzzle: if you send me your marked up sheet and include your non-SK words (whether you include the SK words on the markup or not), I'll give a "you made a valiant effort" prize for finding lots of unintended stuff as well. XD

    WEEK 7 MINI CONTEST

    "Hey daddy! What does this do!"

    #521
    Lick the Week 7 Caption

    @Dreathuxy, Thank you for entering a spiral spy model, I didn't want to be lumped into the spiral spy scenes category, where I would have most likely not have stood a chance. I'm not actually sure if that counts for that category though, seems more like a character.

    @Tevokkia, Could I get some clarification on what is classified as "artwork, spiral spy models?" Can it be something like Dreathuxy's or do you actually have to mess around with the textures/models.

    Week 7 Caption:

    "It's ok daddy, the Dark Retribution is terrible at killing gremlins like us!"

    #522
    Spiral Spy Models

    As I said on the front page, the models have to be modified from the game defaults: that being said, if you've just put together a character using unedited pieces already available, that's not a valid entry in the category. New textures, parts of one armor stuck onto another armor, and so on are required: at the very LEAST, changes have to be made to the colors outside the presets offered in any of the menus, but an entry that only changes colors won't be rated very highly.

    Honestly, Dreathuxy, unless you have a texture file you can show me that you've edited, I'm going to have to pop into SpiralSpy and see whether I can accept the entry by recreating your model and seeing what's involved in doing so (it's getting a bit late, though, so I"ll do it tomorrow).

    Sorry about my being rather quiet the past few days, everyone. Family stuff, mostly.

    #523
    Lick

    In that case, should I attach the textures I used to my entry?

    #524
    @Oatmonster

    No, I can tell at a glance that the texture isn't one actually used in the game. If you particularly want to, you can, but it's fairly obvious.

    #525
    Wow guys,

    Wow guys, this is getting boring. No posts in 36 hours is not good. So...

    Hi guys!!! How was your Wednesday? I got to take the NMSQT today... now I'm tired.

    Anyone gonna do anything Halloween themed for the contest?

    #526
    NO.

    Your Wednesday was NO? How does that work?

    And you didn't answer my other question? Are you doing Halloween stuff or no?

    #528
    Yikes

    EDIT: Strange double post - sorry!

    #529
    Double post lol?

    ENTRY Poetry: Rhyming Poetry and Free Verse

    In-Game Name: Lordofnecromancers
    Entry Title: Her Name was Almire
    Entry:

    There once was a kingdom of great renown
    The jewel of the planet Cradle
    But now the kingdom is all ashes and bone
    Faded into myth and fable

    The spirits of many now roam the land
    Fleeing from their undead pyre
    A burning world, once perfect and grand
    The kingdom of Almire

    Far and deep in the flaming den
    Lies a palace, long unexplored
    Guarded by demons, once mighty men
    Who lived and died by bloody swords

    If this castle’s treasure you choose to raid
    Begin your adventure at Depth 24
    There you shall find many a barricade
    Of fire and steel, of death and gore

    Fighting, plowing your way on ahead
    Down into Depth 25
    Where life is guarded by the undead
    Pass on through, if still alive

    Depth 26, here your path doubles
    Which one’s the safe avenue?
    One path leads to pain, fire, and trouble
    The other, just pain, so you can continue

    To Depth 27, all your battles won
    You go on, armor and shield battered
    The pressure you feel weighs over a ton
    Beating the final defense is all that matters

    Finally, Depth 28, the grand throne room
    Where the cursed king of Almire dwells
    Here you live or face your doom
    You enter a living he**

    The world shakes when the mad duke strikes,
    His roars sounding much like thunder
    His fiery guards rise, wielding shields and pikes
    You shall painfully die if you blunder

    His men lunge at you, malice in their eyes
    While fires rise as the ceiling crumbles
    You stab with your blade, and so they die
    Their bones upon the ground like piles of rubble

    You jump and duck, no place to hide
    From Vanaduke, yes, that’s his name
    Sparks fly as swords and shields collide
    Until all but you are dead and slain

    Now at peace, Almire lies
    Her people at rest in some heavenly place
    While you enjoy your newfound prize
    That massive jewel from Vanaduke’s mace

    @Benightz: Thank you for the offer, but I have it handled.

    @Nechrome: Thanks for the entry! I'll get it onto the front page. I know you mentioned the art (and thank you, by the way. XD), but keep in mind that I award prizes in the order they're listed, so if you DO happen to want art or crowns or whatever to take priority over CE, make sure to list that first.

    Honestly, unless for some strange reason I'm absolutely out of everything else they listed, the only winners that will be receiving art will be the ones that listed it first.

    @All: Hey guys! I haven't seen any entries for the game this week yet. XD

    The game is SO big! I do have a little progress on mine but I figured I a little while to turn it in, right? I don't want to turn it in looking as sad as it is now, but this week is so busy! Haha.

    Game!

    Haha, yeah, you have until the end of Friday. XD

    I tried to print it but I don't think it all got on one page and the campus computer didn't have the option of doing a fit-to-page photo print~ So when I did work on it I had it open in my latest Photoshop trial highlighting with a translucent brush XD

    ENTRY (Poetry: Short Poems)

    In-Game Name: Oatmonster
    Entry Title: A Bomb's Requital
    Entry:

    With restless strides he cross'd the room
    On heavy hands he raised the bomb
    The crystal hums as if it knew,
    The empty jewel, it’s turbid song
    It seemed it’s shards would tear asunder
    The flesh of monsters, last it checked
    But now it can not harm those beasts
    For swords must always be the best

    Participation - Enamorocks, Fancy Vented Visor, 25 CE.
    1* - Dusky Mech'tennas, Military Helm-Mounted Display, Heavy Goggles.

    Tev, Come Quick!

    I have a problem. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea, but I did a sketch of Tevokkia and T'Keva.

    Which category does it belong to? Character from Stone Field Borough combined with a character from Tev and Friends! What do I do?
