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.

    I step away for the night, and...

    ...and the conversations still continue. Great!

    Ytirru, I'm a guy, just FYI.

    Everyone, wow great work on the Mini Contests, both 4 and 5. I'm not sure I want to enter 5 just yet... I'm not sure anything I have now could beat anything that you guys already have.

    Keep up the good work!

    #353
    Derp

    I'm terrible with timezone conversion so please help me out here. Also whatever I touch that converts timezones will magically break. I'm GMT + 11 so does that mean that the award ceremony wil be 3pm for me?

    #354
    Busy, busy!

    @Abyssal-Flamberge: Thanks for the entry!

    @Toxicblade: It's actually noon your time, apparently. I need to change it to GMT -4; I was under the impression that being 5 hours behind meant -5, but it seems that that isn't the case. ^.^;

    @Everyone else: Wow, you guys were busy while I was sleeping. XD

    #355
    I have the worst art ever

    I can't enter mini contest 5 as I am the worst artist ever :(

    "Crush. Kill. Destroy. Gloop."

    #359
    I think you messed up 9 down.

    I think you messed up 9 down. :P When I tried plugging it in, one of the letters would have to be missing in order for several of its letters to fit into the other words that conect to it, if you understand my meaning. :/ Of course, I could be wrong with my answer, but my answer is the only thing that covers one eye.

    #360
    ... not that I can see

    Are you including any spaces or dashes? Because no spaces or dashes are being used.

    (I just went in and plugged all those letters into the puzzle, and it looks fine to me.)

    EDIT: Although while doing that, it seems I forgot to black out one of the squares. The square on 6 across that separates it from 1 down should be black, making it an 8-letter word. I've updated the file, but wanted to let everyone know in case they had printed it out and were penciling it in.

    @Benightz: You don't have to draw anything, just give the picture a funny title or provide some interesting dialogue. It's a caption contest.

    #361
    Ah, nvm. I checked and it

    Ah, nvm. I checked and it turns out I was forgetting a letter. :P

    I solved the entire thing except 17 down. -_- can't find a single monster that fits the description. :P Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

    And thx for the 250 CE Tev. :3

    Mini Contest: Week 4? (it says 4 on the first page. Why?)

    Knight 1: Uhh... You have a lichen on your head.

    Knight 2: I know but I think it's really grown on me!

    Knight 1: Haha! I see what you did there.

    Knight 2: Yeah... But seriously, this thing is starting to leak into my skull.

    #367
    D: I still can't figure 17

    D: I still can't figure 17 down out. AUGH.

    The papaya gives a submission for the mini contest 4

    (Just like everyone else said, isn't it the 5th mini contest?)
    Knight 1 (One with lichen on head): Dang it, I'm still a recruit in my guild
    Knight 2: *Feels sorry for knight 1 and grasps his hand* Why is that?
    Knight 1: Well I'm not exactly In The Jelly yet
    Knight 2: /think If I was in that guild I think I would prefer to be a forever recruit

    Oh Vi (and mini contest 4)
    "Did you get on Inco's bad side?"

    Ahahahahaha.
    Too inside to be a winner but hehe.

    -Vifig

    Ehehehehehe~

    Well, might as well participate too, I guess. :o

    "... and that, sir, is how the hivemind came in possession of this body. Now please take us to your superior."

    #371
    The papaya has an urgent message for Tev

    Hey Tev,
    There seems to be a problem with your crossword question 5 down. It says Normal and Piercing Defense, Poison and Status Resist, Damage Bonus vs Slime Low
. What do you mean by "Poison and status resist", it doesn't make any sense. Did you type something wrong?

    #372
    Inspiration

    Is it all right if we create a piece for submission based on another's work? Just to clarify, I am referring about a previous submission. (eg. Making an image based on a piece of poetry or vice-versa).
    If so, should we state the piece which we got the inspiration form?

    Thanks for taking the time to answer all our questions!

    #373
    Sniped Stranger Hat

    While we're discussing the Mewkat as a prize, I'd also like to draw attention to the Sniped Stranger Hat. I haven't been watching the prices, but I definitely recall buyout prices on the AH being around a million crowns at one point, and the one that's on the AH now has a bid of 270,000cr, which definitely puts it above the rest of the 4* prizes, if not the entire prize collection. Thoughts? As with the Mewkat, I'd suggest removing it from the options (even though I'd really love to win that :c).

    #374
    As usual, you guys have been busy while I've been sleeping

    I'll take a look at the week number and get it fixed. XD

    @Papaya: The clue is stats for an item, so no, there's no mistake there. You just need to find what item it is.

    @Snubear: I'll take a look at the Sniped Stranger Hat; it and the cat tails have both been called into question, but I can't find anyone with cat tails on the market. 5* prizes run between 300 and 400k each, so if the prize needs to be moved to that bracket, it can be.

    @Shadow-of-Apple: If you're making something in an entirely different category (i.e, poem based on picture, picture based on story), that's fine; just ask the person who created the piece you'd like to use as an inspiration first and give them credit when you submit your entry.

    As far as the Mewkat goes, I had also thought that removing it would be the best option, but wanted to hear it from all of you first. I'll be removing it this week, as I have a few other things that need to go on.

    #375
    Game addendum

    There should also be an extra letter in front of 3 Across.

    Jeez, I'm bad at this .... ^.^;

    where do we turn in our entries?
    and also, for the knight art entry, can we make a knight that goes outside the bounds of the game? (ex. dual blades, massive wings, excessive amounts of flame, etc.)
    thanks

    Opticchaos

    Hey Opticchaos,

    Cool name by the way. I think you just submit your entry as soon as you finish it. Just turn it in by the due date.

    #380
    @Opticchaos

    You post them in the thread using the entry form on the third post (technically post #2).

    And yes, you can embellish your knight art all you want, as long as it's still recognizable as being Spiral Knights related.

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

    Um... 3 down says "It's spines are most slithy"

    Slithy? Is slithy a word? I can't find the definition anywhere, so I'm assuming it's a typo.

    Heh

    Thanks for answering, Artist. And no, not a typo; it's in the item description

    Oh. I see now. I have the answer now, but I still have no idea what it means. If you know and want to tell me, but it's a clue to the answer, then please send it to via SK mail (IGN- Yttriu). Thanks Art and Tev!

    #386
    c:

    When you say you can't find the definition anywhere... Did you try just googling the word? :P

    It's from a poem by Lewis Carroll, who defined it as meaning both slimy and lithe. Never caught on enough to become a "real" word, I guess.

    Not the only thing in the game that references that bit of writing either. :)

    I'm so lost...

    /\
    Because I'm not doing the crossword this week.

    I don't expect anyone to do anything about it, because there's nothing anyone can, but... there's my contribution.

    Good news!

    Good news, peeps! There's been a hefty donation of CE from HQ that'll not only keep me going giving out CE at at least the rate I'm already doing so for the weekly contests, but also make sure that there's some left over for winner prizes without my having to sell off unwanted prizes to exchange the CR for it.

    Up until now, some of you have been receiving your weekly prizes from me, while some of you have been receiving them from my contest alt, as I've been using both contest funds and the CE I had set aside for my personal use rather indiscriminately. Since I've sent the CE that I was given for the contest straight to that alt (so that I don't accidentally use any of it myself), you should all be getting your PMs containing your CE prizes from Dynasty-Kordsov from here on out.

    Narcissistic Lick

    I couldn't help but notice the lack of my name in the "Artwork, Spiral Spy." Also, is it possible to win by default?

    Caption, Week 5

    "You were supposed to kill the Love Puppy LAST..."
    "You shouldn't have activated that Shockingly Transmitted Disease kit...." (Mecha Knight)

    Stuff!

    @Oatmonster: Sorry about that, it's been fixed. It can be a little hard to see what's going on with all that code there. And no, there's no winning by default; if there aren't enough entries in a category to properly judge it, that category will be grouped with the next closest category for judging.

    @Uruk-Hai: Someone mentioned to me that the links to your artwork wasn't working, so I checked it out ... it seems it goes to a 404 page. If you could look into that, it would be great. Thanks!

    The papaya's Spiral-Life is ruined

    Had my computer reset today in our IT department due to a file corruption. I saved EVERYTHING on my computer EXCEPT for one file, guess what that was? No it was no a picture.............not it was not a code...................no it wasn't steam.
    ..............................................................................................
    I forgot to save my crossword document which I've been working on 0_0. Well I did finish it, just have to try and remember the answers XD
    And good luck to everyone else who's doing this, DON'T FORGET TO SAVE

    The papaya wants to add one more thing

    Hey Tev,
    Is it possible for me to send you the Week 5 contest sheet which I did on a word document via email? Cause it's not too easy to send it via mail on Spiral.

    @Papaya

    Well, if you can't just paste it in for some reason, go ahead and send it to Tevokkia@gmail.com. Just make sure to put in a good subject line, since it will be coming from an email address I don't know.

    Haven't gone at a crossword puzzle in ages. Speaking of which:

    Do you mean "Normal and Piercing Defense, Poison and Fire Status Resist, Damage Bonus vs Slime: Low?"

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

    @Windsickle No. There is an equip that perfectly fits the description of original. It confused me at first but I figured it out.

    @Incoherrant Wow! You are right. There are a lot of references to that in the game. I didn't realize this because I had checked dictionary.com. Now I understand. Thanks!

    @Papaya Aww... That's terrible. It wasn't too difficult, though. I believe in you! You can do it! :D

    @Tev Wow! This contest is so popular that HQ is funding it?! That's amazing! Keep up the great work.
