....I have no words to describe the feelings that i feel right now. I could have easily gotten those 8 points....but NO!!!! I just had to not post those couple of posts i could have. Can't wait till next year, Where I'm gonna make sure i can post in any thread that I possibly can. Anyway, good job Silver. Prince isn't too bad though...I mean, look at all the people i beat out! And 8 points isn't that much of a lead. I'll just have to try harder than last time...Oh well. Anyway, I want the very short sprite comic featuring me. Please use a Blastoise. (Or get a Blastoise Torterra mix from silver, because that's what the last part of my name is, Part of the Japanese name of Torterra. Anyway, I can't wait to see what silver says....

(And thus ends probably the longest post I've ever made)

It was lonely... you promised you'd write to me, but you never did... the months passed by, and I still thought of you every day, but you never called. I never got any letters from you.

So eventually, I started to lose faith... I thought you had been killed in that terrible, terrible war. Or maybe that you had forgotten about me. It's been so long, you probably found another girl over there... I never stopped loving you, but I didn't think you cared about me anymore, so welcoming you back just would have been too painful for me... I'm sorry. I'm glad you've come back home *sniff*

Wait, I actually won something? Fo rizzle?

Wow... this is unexpected. I actually wasn't really trying to win anything. Like, at all. And I beat out Gar by only 3 points. But still, this is a pleasant surprise.

Erm... I'm not really sure how you're going to make a Doodleshark sprite... I'm not really the art appreciation sort of type, so... I guess I'll donate the five dollars to PV. It's fine. Really. Like I said, I didn't really expect to win anything anyways. (Though secretly I did hope.)

Holy crap... I actually got something other than last place in something I didn't even try at! I feel special now! I almost feel like doing something other than reading my new book! Almost... but not quite...

Seriously? Eight points? So, let me see... last night, right before the contest ended, I posted once in the Saying Hi to Josiah topic, once in a couple Game threads, and in OP:SS, LOM and ROM... which is eight points. I won on that alone XD

I'm not sure which is more ironic... that I had been betting on The N00b the whole time but ended up on top by just a few points, or that Neo, last year's champion, was third to last this year. Out done by even Opal, who had practically vanished until the last week of the competition...

Eight points! I really can't believe it. It was a great competition, and let the massive amount of posts generated by this contest continue throughout the year! I'll donate the prize to PV, like last time. So now everybody wins!
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I'm just curious, but could you tell us the other hidden challenges? Or are you thinking of saving them for next year?

I`m saving the other secret challenges for next year so I won`t have to come up with as many new ones. Keep in mind though that some of the ones that you`ve already found out about may or may not return next year as well.

You didn't notice how I kept mentioning it? Anyway, you don't have to know about it get points, you just have to post during the time period.

Prize images are done! Here you go. And Marley, I've got your bonus comics planned out but, with the way my schedule is at the moment, it might take a while for me to finish them.
