WELL DONE TEAM!Seriously, I could not be more happy right now, and I'm so glad all of our hard work paid off.
Krzysiekxd (yes, spelled without looking, I have seen so much of it):
I do not know what I would have done if you had ever gone inactive, because you were a wonderful creative workaholic. Apparently you got up at 6am just to do some of a Round 6 task before going to work. Amazing. The reason you were my first choice for artist is because of your brilliant sense of humor and
creativity with how to go about a job. You are far, far, far too modest and should believe in yourself more.
NOTE TO OTHER TEAMS: I ignored the wishes of Krzy (and some other team members) and accepted the 15 point art wager from Chaosomes in round 6. I hope Krzy believes in himself more now
Fippe94Active throughout Brawl despite a heavy RL workload, and a wonderful CD. What I loved about his style of CD is that it was very game-focused, with just enough odd-creativity to make you smile, but not so much as to make you say 'wat'. Thanks for your effort at the end of Round 6 to smash through the last few CD challenges, and thanks for the consistency in your activity. Even with 1 day left in a round, I knew you would get your task done (even if I occasionally threw a 'Progress Report?' your way
majofaI did not know you prior to Brawl, except in the context of your event running. I bid on you because of a reputation, and acknowledgement in your app, that you would critique without reservation. I back myself as someone who can keep morale high, I wanted someone who would give good advice without any reservation for morale at all. You were excellent. Short, to the point and accurate in proofreading, solid advice giving and always, always did your task (even if it took me a few rounds to get to grips with the fact you would always, always submit it on the last day
) Your lovely comment earlier in this thread means a lot to me from such an outstanding member of the community. 10/10 would work with again.
Silver EmeraldOhh my little gamble paid off now didn't it! For sentimental reasons, I wanted a relatively unknown writer, because that's what I was last Brawl. I knew that I could help with ideas if that's what was needed, or formatting and grammar if that's what was needed. You have such an excellent imagination and created works which were just lovely to read. You also were not precious about your work which is so important in a team competition, so were totally happy with me cutting or editing parts to make it more voter-friendly. Missed one round, but that's ok because RL comes first, and you made up for it with 5 excellent rounds. That Locked-Room submission was inspired!
kirbylover314Brawl fell in at a busy time for you IRL, but you still submitted (and did it well) in 2 tasks. I wanted you for 2 reasons: 1. Forum experts are hard to come by, 2. you are one of my favorite people on the forums. That hasn't changed, so don't beat yourself up for being less active than you would have wanted. I really love the work you put in to the alphabet task too
Hope to see you around soon
BrawlmastersExcellent work. A couple of moments when I didn't necessarily agree with calls, and a couple of instances where you could have given teams more notice of what decisions had been made, but in general you ran the event excellently. CleanOnion, you are fantastic and I really, really hope you will be Brawlmaster next brawl, because i think the event will need you if it has a big overhaul.
Other TeamsFHM (2 girls 1 brawl): THANKYOU for keeping going. It's inspiring, and I hope you found a way to enjoy your predicament. Hey! you didn't come last!
Gaia: I think you were very unlucky sometimes, both in team activity and in voting. i hope you guys enjoyed Brawl, because you came up with some lovely submissions, just got swallowed up in a few tasks by people with more time or a slightly better idea than yours.
ATNT: Some of your submissions were utterly brilliant. Everything you did had an obvious sense of humor and i always felt like you had a smile on your face. Mathman wins the award for my favorite brawl member not in my team. You were the heartbeat to this brawl.
LoS: SUCH a well rounded team, and I feel a little unlucky. Your submissions were all excellent, but I think you suffered from not always considering humor. It's a little sad, because sheer proficiency should have been considered more by voters. I think Khalissi's art was as good as andre's most of the time, and should have had more votes. I think Krzy stole some 'Cool!' and 'Funny XD' votes, and andre stole some of your 'Oh Wow!' votes, leaving you in a slight gap.
Chaosomes: Never complained about the fact that russian and andre had to do most of the tasks by the end, and came up with consistently hilarious and amazingly beautiful submissions. A really worthy opponent and i hope both of you join again next brawl. Well done, you made round 6 so stressful by being ahead of us that it makes victory all the sweeter. Be proud of your work.
Brawl!Brawl is amazing. Teams losing activity is a part of it. Mad, senseless rushes are part of it. Friendly rivalry (SCREW YOU FHM!
) are part of it.
Everyone should sign up. Try to stay active if you do, and remember: the more you put in to an event like this, the more you get out of it.
All people should dedicate a portion of their lives to being creative. Brawl is a wonderful part of the forums because it does just that.
Brawl is the crazy, irrational, brilliantly hectic left hemisphere of the forum. Never amputate it, or we'll be rational, organized... but ultimately a bit boring.
