New templates for all!

Congratulations, adventurers! Your efforts have won 15 new character profile templates for the entire site to enjoy for years to come: Lavender, Chamomile, Cosmic dust (in blue, green and red), Industrial Grunge, Lurker, Landmarks: Manhattan, Landmarks: Great Pyramid, Landmarks: Himalayas, Candle Cluster and Candle Cluster (Dark).

And thanks to Moki for designing Dossier, Landmarks: Big Ben and Fur: Tiger

Some special thank yous

There were many members and mods that helped get this event ready for your enjoyment, but there were three individuals who put in long hours of work, some of it under insane last minute pressure, to bring this event to you.

I want to extend a special thanks to Justine for designing the alien species, and creating the artwork for all of them plus the new weapons, crystals, comics, walrus mechs and more. This was months of hard work and I hope you agree with me that the result was spectacular.

Auberon converted all the concept art for the weapons, mech walrus, crystals, grab bag and even the slice of birthday cake into high quality pixel art icons, so you could show all the cool new stuff off on your profile!

And a gigantic, humongous, ridiculous thank you to Darth_Angelus, who made this even possible - All of the 15 puzzle nodes this year were his idea. He single handedly designed the alien language and number system. And of course, he produced the absolutely stunning video series that followed the journey of the Hero and the Princess as our forward scouts.

Finally, I want to thank every one of the 370+ people who participated in this year's Epic Week event! You will soon be seeing a special year 7 accolade on your profile to mark the occasion.

Thus the nightmare ends, as the cascade of sunlight beams again over the horizon. Be sure that we will rise again to any threat, as we've risen many times before.

May your year be filled with laughter and contentment, all of you!
