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.
  • Ballot form:

    SUBJECT: (Either "Artist Choice" or "Community Choice")

    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.

    Prize Preference

    I don't really need to update my prize list because I'm just happy to be a part of this contest :D
    If I won something I will take anything what you give :)... or some of things from my older list (CR and CE didn't change I think).

    #1408
    Updated Prize Preferences

    I did them yesterday night, but I did not know we were supposed to notify(?) when we did.
    Anyway, they are in place of the old preferences on my original entry post.

    #1409
    Oh ok Tev

    Wow, from what I see so far, there seem to be MUCH less people then I had thought would join! I was expecting like the amount of peopel in front of the AH when it's busy, except in a guildhall, but oh well, lol :) Only 3 moar days! HAPPY 12/12/12 OR 12.12.12 OR DECEMBER 12 2012!!!!!!!!! :D LAST TIME FOR TRIPLE DIGITS UNTIL THE NEXT CENTURY! :O

    #1410
    ^.^

    Thanks to everyone who has updated their stuff .. a bit more than 4 hours left to do so, if you haven't already.

    While I appreciate your informing me, it's not a requirement. XD

    #1411

    We just like reasons to post!

    #1412
    Indeed we do.

    Honestly, I believe we have figured out every reason to post and put it in this thread...

    So let's think of some more! =D

    #1413
    XD

    Lol ... I just found this quote of mine on page 6 while I was listing everyone who had posted in the entire thread for the final raffle (and counting emoticons for Latisan XD):

    I'm going to laugh until I fall out of my chair and then facepalm while I'm lying there on the floor if the bulk of the entries come in during the last week.

    I hope I'm not the only one who finds it hilarious.

    #1414

    No, no you are not! Hahaha.

    #1415
    *beating head on wall*

    I forgot to save my list of names and tally of emoticons for the first seven pages before I left this morning, and we had a power surge that shut off my computer while I was gone. D:

    So now I have to start over.

    #1416
    Oh VOG! NOO!!!

    Granted, a Mac would autosave everything in any document anywhere, buutttttttt....

    XD

    I'm going to hear it from you and Hood if my computer fritzes out on Sunday, huh... ?

    #1417
    >.>

    Don't get me started on Macs.

    And yes. Yes, you will.

    Which reminds me that I still need to verify that I have a working microphone. XP

    #1418
    The most critical of emoticons... ">.>"

    I wouldn't dare.

    ...sorry if that ^ was a bit ill timed. Still very sorry about your lost progress. I forget the pain of lost work and the fact that some people will argue computers much more sharply than do I sometimes.

    #1419
    @Tev

    When it says, "the final prize list is up" does that mean you'll put up a list of the winners? Or is that reserved for the ceremony, which I'll be missing... :(

    #1420
    @Immortous

    The "final prize list" was the last revision of the prize options for people to put their requests in. Now I have to go back and make sure that all the prizes I had planned on awarding are still what people want after I added new stuff. XD

    I'll make the initial announcement of the winners at the award ceremony, and will post them on the thread when the ceremony is over.

    #1421
    Oh noes

    I just realised the ceremony starts at 2 am for me.
    Which quite obviously means I can't attend it. :C

    #1422
    @awesomesock

    Don't sleep. Sleep is overrated XD

    #1423
    GAH

    What in the beep does 'sleep' even mean?
    Please help me...

    #1424
    GAH

    @Zenmaiser

    Don't ask me ... I am unfamiliar with this word.

    #1426
    CRAP

    It is almost guaranteed that I will NOT be available for the ceremony. FLOCKING BIRDS EAT MY CHEESE.

    Anyhow, I wish you guys a merry awards ceremony, and notified one of the few unknowing Lionheart members to witness it for me.

    http://danieljbrant.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/new-meme-please_o_25966…

    ^ Is what I'll try to do in my mind as I work quickly tomorrow. The pict isn't mine though.

    #1427
    ^.^

    For those who wanted to see the award ceremony but will be unable to make it, I'll be Livestreaming the event and will post the video up shortly afterward.

    #1428
    TOMORROW...

    ... =D

    #1429
    Tev, is the ceremony started

    Tev, is the ceremony started yet? I thing I'm going to join because I installed SK on my brother's computer.

    Please respond, Tev!

    #1430
    Um @Myqpalzm

    Not sure what's going on at your time, but the ceremony doesn't start until tomorrow, or in other words, over 24 hours from now.... if I'm wrong (cause I'm only assuming that I have any handle over time) sorry about that lol

    #1431
    @Everyone

    The ceremony starts 25 hours from this post.

    ... and now back to my regularly scheduled prepping, which what greatly interrupted by an unexpected foray out of the house today. -.-

    #1432
    Timing of Things

    I hope things get sorted out, Tev. D:

    As for the ceremony, I most likely will be unable to attend as I am to take a drive to the old hometown for the holidays with family. The drive itself takes almost half a day. I'm terribly sorry in advance. :<

    #1433
    What........

    I have waited you guys in the Lionheart Guild for a couple hours. >_<

    #1434
    Yup, I won't join. It's your

    Yup, I won't join. It's your fault, timezone!

    #1435

    I can try to make an attempt to come, but I'm not sure if I can make it

    #1436

    lol, I almost forgot this would be tomorrow. I'd better set an alarm on my phone so I don't forget after work!

    #1437
    The papaya is confused

    So, the ceremony will be on the 16th of December, 10:04pm for me? My time zone is GMT+8000

    #1438
    @Papaya

    It'll be 10am for you, not 10pm.

    Disregard the :04 ... XD I went back and fixed a typo like a dork.

    #1439
    ^ ...jonny...

    I don't think it's actually possible, even if the countries were on opposite sides of the world, for there to be a whole 25 hour difference...

    That's more than a day

    xDDDD

    I'll post the list of winners after the end of the ceremony, after which I will send prizes to those who were unable to make it, then process the video to put on YouTube. Depending on how fast YouTube decides to upload (and how many prizes I have to mail beforehand), it may or may not be up for viewing before I go to sleep. If it isn't, I'll put it up in the morning.

    Also, I'll be a guest on The Arsenal Podcast at 2pm GMT -5 on Sunday. We'll be talking about the contest, Winterfest, the Angelic armor line, and more, and I'll be taking questions from those in the chat. Join us!

    I feel special because I don't need a timezone converter to know what time the ceremony is. Good chance that I can attend.

    Be there or be square!

    I doubt I'll be able to stay for longer than half an hour, and if I manage an hour, I'll have to leave just as the poetry's bein' announced. ;_;

    On picking up awards for others

    I'm not going to be giving any awards to people to pass on to the friends who won unless I know for a fact that that friend happens to be your spouse. I will send the prizes via in-game mail directly after the finish of the ceremony.

    While I appreciate your offer, I think I'll have to agree with Tev.
    Besides that, I think I may be able to stay till the end of the Ceremony <3

    Well, not necessarily take your award, just pass on the notification :>

    Hopefully will be able to attend most of it.
    I might have an item to donate for you Tev, if I'm not too late.
