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.

    Tev, I will definitely join

    Tev, I will definitely join the ceremony!

    #1352
    @Myqpalzm

    That sort of comment is not going to make you any more likely to win. In fact, it will annoy me because that sort of thing is not what this contest is about, and I'm currently determining subjective awards. So now is a bad time to annoy me.

    #1353
    Re: Updated Lists

    Please only regard the Short Fiction as the prize wishlist and extend that to all 3 of my entries. Thank you.

    #1354
    @Xair

    Will do!

    #1355
    List updated!

    Alrighty, updated the price list for my entry!

    I plan to attend to there might be some stuff that could stop that, so I cant say for sure just yet.

    #1356
    Updated list/roll call

    Ok my updated list is on my original knight submission (Post #932) and is valid for both of my entries. Also, I will probably not make the ceremony because my girlfriend and I will probably do something for our anniversary that day, so have a great time guys!

    #1357
    The papaya giggles

    About 4-5 more days until the ceremony =) I think I will be able to attend.............
    (And 11 more days until the "end of the world" ^^)

    #1358
    The ceremony is on the

    The ceremony is on the Saturday now? Yay! I should be there. In one form or another.

    #1359
    @Tev

    Sorry Tev!

    Forgot what's that time again. If my calculations are correct, then maybe i'm coming! But still, someone who's nice pls. tell me the time for the award ceramony in Hong Kong time!

    #1360
    @Tev

    Hey, I'm just joking. Sorry about that, Tev.

    Because I have no chance to win, I..... I'm just gonna sit in the corner and think of what I have done. ;_;

    #1361
    The papaya scratches his leaves

    @Topoyozada
    I do believe that the time in Hong Kong is the same as the time here in, my country :P (Don't live giving away too much personal info :P) GMT+8000 I believe. Since the ceremony is in the morning, we have a 13 hour time difference....................So in Hong Kong time, the ceremony is at about 8pm at night for us...................I think..................
    My brain is papaya mash today.............so I wouldn't be surprised if I did my maths wrong :P

    #1362
    muh

    Editied my prize list on the Spiralspy entry

    #1363
    Edited my prize list @ page

    Edited my prize list @ page 23.

    Hmm I live in GMT+8 too.
    Since EST is GMT-5, that's a +13hr time difference for me.

    21:00 + 13:00 = 34:00 = +1d 10:00 (10:00am Dec. 16)

    I'll be there if I don't have exams on that day...

    #1364
    Ceremony Attendance

    Tev,

    I should be able to make it to the ceremony - I'll have to leave at about 10, but I'll be there (unless something dastardly comes up).

    No prize list edits.

    #1365
    So is it

    So is it !0:00 AM, or 8PM?????

    pls. help! Well, if its at night, i can (NOT) come, sorry for that! But if its 10:00 am on sat, I'm okay

    #1366
    @Topoyozada

    If you're in GMT +8, it will be at 10am Sunday for you.

    #1367
    =(

    Dang it.... I won't be able to attend since it's at 8:00 CST.... so...
    My congratulations ahead of time!

    #1368
    hmm

    @ Tev & Topo

    It would be 10am on Sunday the 16th for Topo right? 13 hour difference, like what arkalpha said.

    #1369
    Changing my entry

    Hey Tev,
    Should I just repost a new entry form with my new prize preferences or can you just change it? (You posted my entry because I was unable to access the SK website). I would like to change my first 3* prize for the Imperial Tricorne. Thanks!

    #1370
    @Sergeant

    If that's the only change, that's fine; I can keep track of that much. ^.^

    #1373

    Updated my prize list. I'm probably gonna make it to the prize list.

    #1374
    Attendance

    I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be able to attend the ceremony.
    I don't think my prize list is going to change, but I'll let you know if I choose differently!

    #1375
    Question...

    Hey Tev, for those that won, after the ceremony or whatever, can you tell them why they won, like what they did well, what stood out, and also what they could have improved on or lacked? I'm sure everyone would appreciate having an idea of what they're good and at what they could do better on! :D Thanks!

    #1376
    Oh gosh...

    I have apparently been banned from Spiral Knights until the end of the semester, so I don't know my chances of going to the ceremony. Pretty slim is all I know. However, I may have a chance for an exception, for that day is also my birthday. I am going to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

    #1377
    @Hexlash

    As I said in an earlier post, after the ceremony, anyone who wants a critique of any kind can get one, either here in the thread or privately. I figure that some people will want to know, others would rather not, and some people might not want any feedback they got broadcasted publicly. That, and they can decide individually what kind of feedback they want ... some people may just want some gentle commentary, while someone else may ask for blunt critique.

    @Yttriu: Oh gosh! Hope you can make it, and happy birthday in advance!

    #1378
    Thanks, Tev!

    And in advance, good luck trying to handle all these unruly people. XD

    If I'm not there, have fun!

    #1379
    You said it in an earlier post?

    Oh, really? I'm sorry I didn't catch that! lol Oh and Happy B-day to you too Yttrui in advance... I'm sure you'll make it =P

    #1380
    I wish I could've said something but...

    I wanna be there. Just to see Tev & Co. in-game, that would be nice...

    It's impossible.

    BTW, Tev, if you have the time AFTER the competition's over, can you FINALLY check the site? That would be a very nice thing to do.

    If you have no idea, I'll PM ya in-game. :P

    (We talked about this in the Stoneborough thread.)

    #1381
    @Vinnydime

    Yup, I'll take a look. I just write so little fanfiction that it hasn't really come up ( I think the last piece I wrote was three months ago, and that was me just typing up and editing a short I had finished a few months before that)

    #1382
    Cant

    Sorry, if its sunday, i cant come :(

    CHURCH!

    #1384
    Er..

    What would be the time that the ceremony begins in GMT -5?

    #1385
    ...

    @Sergeantwrench - That's fine! ^.^

    @Phantomhamachi - Ummmm ... the time listed is GMT -5. >.>

    #1386
    Oh!

    So I can attend the ceremony because 9:00 is usually not the time I hit the hay, expect me to be at Lionheart Guildhall a short amount of time before the ceremony begins.

    Note to everyone:

    If you're planning on attending the event, it would be really nice if at least some people got there a little early, as we have to give everyone raffle numbers before we start. ^.^

    Sorry

    I'm so sorry, I couldn't participe in voting, my computer broke down for a week.
    I just got on today after repearing, so... you know.
    Sorry again, and I'll check if I can go at Award Ceremony.

    *ahem*

    I've changed my prize preferences for each entry, note that all three entries have the same preferences.
    I should be able to make it to the Ceremony - but I may not be able to stay there the whole time, depending on how long it takes.
    Certainly looking forward to it, and slipping in an extra thanks for what you have done for all of us. :D

    I think I can't attend the ceremony, because I'm doing a visit to my brother's home at December 15.

    Is the date and time for the ceremony are final?

    Moar questions...

    Remilia gave me a new question, how long are you expecting the ceremony to last? And will you also put up a schedule based on how many people are coming and stuff, as in like 9pm EST beginning, 9:20pm EST, blah blah? :)

    Also, you said previously that all entries can only receive one prize, so does that mean that we can only win ONE prize for whichever entry gains the highest prize? Or does that mean you get ONE prize for the highest prize won from EACH entry you submitted, meaning multiple prizes for having multiple entries? And are there any exceptions to this?

    One last thing, how do the Exemplary Awards work? You said no one may win or everyone may win and it's hard to impress you, but isn't this one somewhat similar to subjective awards?

    I know you're currently REALLY hard at work and really busy, and I'm really sorry if you've explained the answers somewhere else or in some other form. Thanks Tev in advance!

    Like others, I've decided to

    Like others, I've decided to change some of my prize preferences for my entry.

    Participation- CR, CE, Hallow Bolted Vee
    1*- CR, CE, Divine Bolted Vee
    2*- CR, CE, Jack O Bombhead Mask
    3*- CR, CE, Shifty Eyes
    4*- CR, CE, Shadow Key

    This prize preference list applies to my earlier entry, a poem.

    Also... a question. If Melbourne is GMT+11... what time will the awards ceremony take place where I live?

    Thanks again. :)

    @kimahsonite

    GMT+11... that would be a 16 hour difference, I think.
    probably about 1 pm Sunday.

    Stuff!

    @Uruk-Hai: It's alright. Things happen. ^.^ Hope to see you there!

    @Myqpalzm: Yes, the day and time are final. I just finished speaking to St-Leone regarding use of the guild hall.

    @Hexlash: The event will take at least half an hour, although how long it takes beyond that will depend on how much order I can keep and how fast people get answers to the trivia questions during the game sections. Also, whether we get started on time (there may be a few minutes delay if everyone shows up exactly at 9pm and we can't even start handing out raffle numbers until then). How many of the winners show up may also affect things a bit, as Sol will have my contest alt at the event to give out prizes to those present as they are announced. I'll do my best to put up a schedule the day before.

    As for prizes, it's highest prize per entry. So if one of your entries wins a 4* prize and another wins a 2* prize, you would get both.

    The difference between the exemplary awards and the subjective awards is that the subjective awards are in addition to placement awards, while exemplary awards are instead of placement. Also, there is only one category that has exemplary awards, which only one person entered in, so most people needn't concern themselves with it.

    @Fallenhope and Kimahsonite: Yup. 1pm Sunday.

    Thanks to everyone who's getting their lists updated!

    Derp

    Sorry, but I can't join the ceremony because my wifi is throttled and so it moves at the speed of a slow thing. A very slow thing, and so it won't update spiral knights so I can't play.

    Also, do I need to vote for anything to be eligible for a prize? (Not that I'm likely to get one :P) Because I don't really understand the voting thing and also, slow wifi so I can't really look at things without waiting a year for my internet to load the page.

    #1397
    @Toxicblade

    No, you didn't need to vote to be eligible to win anything other than the voter's raffle.
