Tev's Great Big Contest is over, but she'd love your feedback! Snubear! I finally finished your picture!

Can we do flag football now?

Just kidding, you did great keeping us occupied. Though I wish we could have sung a couple songs. Keep everyone smiling and silly. Maybe next time.

@Icegill - Thank you for the kind words! (although I'm not a sir <3)

To everyone: Thanks for the good wishes for Lydia! She has a nasty ear infection, but is resting with some antibiotics with her.

I'm almost done with awarding prizes but will be needing to step away from my computer again.

If you are: Awesomesock or someone who won a prize in the forum category - I'm still getting to you (I left one of your things on another account, Fox XD)

If you are: Incoherrant or Mawashimono - Let me know whether you'd like the second piece of artwork or the item prize

If you are: Anyone else who I owe an item or crowns to - Please let me know what you are missing. Who had already received what wasn't marked down as well as it could have been, and I have enough multiples of some items that it's hard to keep track (why is there no trade record for things that aren't CE?)

If you are: Someone who won art, please let me know what you want!

I have an unclaimed prize. Please give it to me. It's a twisted targe.

. . . for bringing such an excting event to the game and holding it in our Guild Hall. I'll always remember the first time I saw your artwork on Deviant and was so blown away I had to contact you about a commissioning something. I'm so happy that I'll finally be getting 2 pieces of artwork from you.

My currently favorite look is here.

If you can draw one of the pics with St-Leone and me together, here's one of my favorite looks for him.

If you could include something about ۞ The Dragon Princess ۞ and Lionheart Guild, that would be great.

@Phantom: I already sent you that this morning from Dynasty.

@Mawashimono: Okay then! I'll get working on that! ^.^ Thank you again for lending your hall!

@Everyone: Okay, all prizes SHOULD have been awarded now. I've got a tally of who I've mailed today, but if I've somehow missed you, please let me know!

@Tev

I never Got my Participation Award :(

I sent it five minutes before I posted that. Have you signed on since then?

So, because the contest is done? What will happen to the thread?

*stupid question above*

I know what we should do!

Does it involve singi-

We should sing some songs!

I hate you.

Come on, Vernon, just sing with us for a little while. You can go back to the fallout shelter after.

Haha, I wasn't able to participate, but that's alright. :)

Glad to see winners, most of them, were selected. ^q^

(an easter bunny revealing to Klear, since I did not vote him last community choice awards, because I was involved in the art)

Right now, the thread will remain semi-active as people decide whether they want feedback and I communicate with the people who won artwork over their pictures. After that, I'm sure it will end up retiring. XD

Fantastic work, Tev. That's all I can say... I'm truly speechless. The amount of work and planning that went into this... wow.
If you ever decide to host another one, I'm always here to help. And if you ever need anything at any point in time, Shadow's got you covered ^^

Good luck with the rest of your spiral knights career and life! I hope to see you around in game or lurking around the forums!

~ShadyShadow =3

Critique it as best as you can, What did you like about it? Why did you choose it over the others? What really stood out? What could have been better? What lacked? What amazed you? What confused you? What part stirred up what emotions? ect. ect. ect. All this I really would like to know! Oh yeah, I was surprised when I won that subjective award for my Haiku, wasn't it the only haiku? lol Thanks Tev, for everything! And I remember you syaing somewhere that you might reuse this thread for other contests, but not as big as this one, I know it'd be crazy hard work for you to do it again, but that would be awesome!

Giant walls of text FTW! Man, I STILL don't know how you made this contest a success! XD

Why Azkellion got to first place at the SpiralSpy category?

Tev, I'd rather hit you up in person about the art =) So next time I see you around in any of the places I talk to you xD

For those watching the stream after having been there or watched it already, I have a little drinking game for you.

Take a shot every time a Lionheart member or Tev tells us to shut up.

Take a shot every time Phantom complains about something.

Take a shot every time someone vomits.

Take a shot every time Tev double pastes.

If you are not dead by the end of the video check with your doctor if you are not secretly a god or Russian.

Hardcore mode: Take a sip every time someone applauds ASIDE from when Tev calls for a round of it.

"If you are: Incoherrant or Mawashimono - Let me know whether you'd like the second piece of artwork or the item prize"
All of the art. c:
Btw did I win a thing for the word unscrambling, or were those going prizeless? Tri-hearts were mentioned, and I am apparently a greedy beech. :P

Is the last Mini Contest done?

Congratulations to all the winners!
I may finish my animation some time in 2013, so watch out!

Thanks to everyone who voted in the Community/Artist Choice awards. Particularly for those who voted for mine and allowed me to win a prize. ^^ I seriously was not expecting to win anything. =o

Also to those who took the time to leave comments about the ones they voted for.

And, of course, thanks to Tev for making all this happen in the first place and for providing such an amazing variety and amount of prizes.

@Myqpalzm - If the person wants feedback, I'll give it to them, but I"m not commenting when someone else asks for it. XD And yes, the last mini-contest is done, but a sub-last-mini-contest will probably start tomorrow when I put up the extra riddles.

@Inco - Okay, I'll send that along. I have no record of who won the game prizes, since it was a "if you're here you get it if you're not, you don't" sort of affair, but I remember you were on your alt.

I tried the drinking game. I lasted twelve bottles before becoming too inebriated to pour myself another glass.
Also I think I might've ingested some 447-2 halfway through. Can someone make sure I don't die until after the next time I take a leak?

Oh c'mon, Tev! I'm just so jealous. :P

Also, thanks for the 250 CE!

Leo is my Lion King, so cud you make his toupee look somehwat like a lion's mane?

@Hexlash - I'll work on your feedback when I get home from taking Lydia to school

@Myqpalzm - Oy. No.

@Mawa - I"ll keep that in mind!

Ye should do a closing remarks here for what ye achieved so far, and making this contest etc. :D

P.S: Lydia is growing so fast!

Sorry if I'm moving a little slow over here, guys ... I've gotten a bit overwhelmed between this and some real life stuff, so there may be some post-contest delays. I likely won't finish any of the artwork until after Christmas, but will get started on it directly afterward. I'll likely Livestream most pieces, unless I"m asked not to.

I've got a few feedback requests that I'm working on, but meaningful feedback takes time, so thanks everyone for bearing with me.

NUU! I forgot about the podcast!

No matter, take as long as you need, all this is 2nd priority things, how about you just take it easy and try and focus on your real life, it'll be everyone's Christmas present to you! XP

Aww. Well, you can go listen to it here now.

First off, I would like to thank you kind folk who voted for my entries. I was both surprised and honored when I heard that I had won the the Community Choice prizes. You guys are awesome <3

And thank you, Tev. You went above and beyond making this contest when no one asked you to. I do not think anything I can say that can compensate for all of the time and energy (both crystal and physical XD) toward this. Thank you.

Also, if you you would be so kind as to critique my story, "The Adventures of Feron", I would be most grateful. I admit, it was a bit sloppy (it turns out, procrastination does not trump all >.<); I found a few typos, and it probably was not my best work. I thought it turned out nicely, but I respect your decisions, Tev. Plus, since I'm making it a series, a good critiquing is much needed.

I do not wish to rush you. In fact, I would rather you take your time, especially because of how much work you must have put into the ceremony. Just relax if you need to. Thanks again!

P.S. How is Lydia? Is she all right now? I hope she is.

wish that you would get a purple medal thing. The community award kinda thing.

"Critique it as best as you can, What did you like about it? Why did you choose it over the others? What really stood out? What could have been better? What lacked? What amazed you? What confused you? What part stirred up what emotions? ect. ect. ect. " Hexlash

Jahhh, me agrees with Hexlash, tell me EVERYTHING about my work!

"Tell me everything you feel is worth telling me? I'll take anything from "I like this for no particular reason" to an extensive critique if that's randomly what you're in the mood for. Posting it in here is fine." Incoherrant

Jahh, okay, just tell me everything you can about it, and I would prefer a slightly more harsh critique over a gentle one, and I don't mind if it's on the forums, everyone can learn from my mistakes xD

Oh jahh...The art...

Well, I just wanted something like that example with the snipes, cel-shaded, but with my knight. And here's a challenge which I hope you can do. So, I want to see what you come up with for my knight-character with just a few minimal details.

1. I would love snipes in it! Freaking adorable, they are <3
2. My personal colour is turquoise
3. I'm wearing that helmet thing with curly pony tails, I forgot the name xD

But if you don't want to do that, just tell me and I'll write something else :D

@Yttriu - Yes, Lydia is feeling much better now.

@Knightwalker - Did you have a preferred armor or accessories, or are we mainly concerned with the helm?

Thank you to Tev, because you used countless time on this competition and lot and lots of crowns and energy into making this happen, im really grateful for this.
Oh yeah... i got a question..... Who voted for my piece as the most outrages concept?
Thanks you!

Thanks for the kind words! Subjective awards were all me.

@Tev
I still didn't get my prize (Iceburst Brandish) :)
I couldn't got into game and also I wouldn't join to SK in 2-3 days... I'm sorry, but can you tell me how do you send it to me? Trade in-game or something else?

Oops! You didn't get it yet? Thanks for letting me know!

I've been sending them via in-game mail from Dynasty-Kordsov, so I'll pop on and send that along right now.

Not really, I just wanted the helm to be there fo sho~ ^_^

Going on a holiday! yay! :D But no internet xD

This thread shall not die. Until it sees the light of the new year, we will not let this thread lay to rest in the graveyard of forgotten nodes.

Node 61257 - never forgotten... not yet...

What good times were had. What intense and epic moments. From first conception to the Boy of the 500th post, till the "impossible" prospect of clearing 1000 posts, to even now clearing 1500. From the crazy mini-contests to the awesome caption art and captions, to the epidemic in the 700's posts about anagrams...

This thread shall not die. Not yet.

EDIT: @Twerpsy - ...how did I miss your Still Alive 2? That's genius, bro! I have the soundtrack to the song... up and sang along with your words and laughed out loud.

Tomorrow, when lava is spouting from my front yard, zombies are at my doorstep, and the foundation of Earth itself is crumbling beneath our feet...

I probably will not be thinking about you guys. Sorry.

I would be thinking about the zombies.

All they want to do is eat our brains.

And on the 22nd, when I look out the front window and nothing has changed, I will think of you, shake my head, and laugh.

I have a friend whose timezone is already December 22nd

He said nothing rained from the heavens

Just Shame

Thank you Tevokkia, the sword has been waiting for me and I got it. I'm sorry but I needed to sold it and I got enough crowns to go for certification Tier 3.
Now I'm Tier 3 Knight!

About end of the world - I tihnk that deadline ended and nothing happend, so... There's always 50% chance that Earth will stop exist, don't worry :)

On December 21st and 22nd, I will be bringing out 20 cubic tons of crack cocaine- I mean, doing totally productive things to do during the end of the world.

Well, happy 12/21/12 everyone. ...same as 12/20/12 and every other day of your existence.

"And on the 22nd, when I look out the front window and nothing has changed, I will think of you, shake my head, and laugh." - +1

Congrats Uruk-Hai. You're officially more advanced than me.

...as for what people are doing today, I'm interested in how many babies are going to be born in September of 2013. But that's just me.

Yeah Latisan I'll laugh too tomorrow at those 'end of world' fanatics.
Also you draw weird conclusions =D

Many babies. Many, many babies.

So what are you guys doin this fine end of the world? (Which is like, over.)
Happy [Insert Religious/Non-Religious Celebration Here] everyone!

EDIT: Oh lol new page! XD
