News & Updates - December 2011


Icon Hunt

The winner of our icon hunt is Sylvey, who managed to find all 10 of the hidden cupcake icons! Everyone else seemed to have been tripped up by various cake icons we've been recycling from some other contest we had a billion years ago -- remember, you were looking for cupcakes, fufufufu! >:3


Trivia Quiz

Thanks to all who suffered through a week without the Wiki and to everyone who took a shot at our ridiculous history quiz! Kiri had a good time looking at all of the answers and laughing at you. 8D But here are our fabulous winners!

  • Era One: Vannah with 8 of 10 correct answers
  • Era Two: Shannon with 8 of 10 correct answers
  • Era Three: Kris with 8 of 10 correct answers
  • Era Four: Meghann with 6 of 10 correct answers
  • Era Five: Leonard with 6 of 10 correct answers

How...did you guys manage to know about 2001-2006 than 2007-2011? Seriously?? :|


But major, major congrats to our amazing overall winner, who would have won Eras One, Two, and Three with 9, 10, and 9 correct answers for those sections if she wasn't already winning overall. She also tied for the correct number of questions for Eras Four and Five, but the winners of those sections beat her time-wise. But yes, MAJOR congrats to Sylvey, the Overall Winner of the quiz with 41 of 50 correct answers. Second overall only had 31 of 50. Wink


Syl, since you also won the Icon Hunt, you can totally rock out with two cupcake icons in your title if you'd like, or you can put the second one on a second character. Just let us know. :3


Survey


Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to our survey questions. We'll be reviewing and discussing the material and will probably post responses to a few frequently requested or asked items in the coming month or two.


As a reminder also, since a few people did say they didn't know about it before, we have a Tumblr available for your anonymous (or not!) questions year-round! Just ask!

Thank you again to everyone who participated in our various birthday activities. We hope you had fun! <3


Yearbook Time!

Sweet Jesus, the 'Souls Yearbook is back.


It's that time of year again -- the 'Souls Yearbook! Check out our submission forms, available until 28 December. This year we'll also be making a page for players too, not just characters! Don't forget to submit your Superlative Suggestions as well -- you have until December 13th to do that!

Spotlight and Community Soul

Congratulations to Becca, winner Spotlight Soul for November 2011 as Ayasha, and to Cait, winner of Community Soul for November 2011! For more information, check out the Community/Spotlight Soul thread!


Temporaries End on December 2nd

As a final reminder, all temporary characters need to be killed, dropped, or granted permanent permission for, by this Friday, December 2nd. Smile Thank you for participating!

Kiri also has these observations to add about the quiz.
  • Six (17% of ) people that took the quiz don't know how many founders 'Souls has. YOU GUYS. COME ON.
  • Seven people (19% of) people thought to answer "Twilight Vale -> Crimson Dreams" for an Era One question. :3
  • Nobody knows where the fifteenth bunny is. Except Sylvey.
  • 33% of respondents thought Kaena and Zarah were actually a couple.
  • An overwhelming majority (42%) of people thought Salvaged actually had a split personality. No, he was just a dick through and through.
  • 69% of respondents grossly underestimated how much money we shat out for EZBoard.
  • 42% of respondents really did not freakin' feel like looking up, or even properly guessing, how many damn babies Salvaged had while taking the quiz. :3
  • Everyone that said Clouded Tears was cursed because Laruku ended up leading them is a jerk.
  • Everyone thinks that Hybrid ate a puppy in 2007. In fact, the right answer was the second-least picked -- only four people (11%) got it.
  • Why does everyone think Syemv was the first to have a non-canine in its ranks? In fact, the right answer for this is STILL the only pack to have had non-canines in the ranks, even now.
  • 19% of respondents mistook Gabriel for Ahren. And 3% thought baby Ezekiel burned down Bleeding Souls.
  • Nopony remembers Insieme.
THAT IS ALL. Although maybe later I will screenshot the pretty graphs we have of the responses because they are funny. 8D

I'll just be lazy and respond here, you can give the other cupcake to Symmy so that Basti doesn't look greedy. Btw, cupcakes = contest catacomb as well?
#5
I will proudly announce that I got most of the answers in the quiz wrong.
#6
Wat!? Ketchup didn't win?!

I thought Aniwaya was the only pack to have a non-canine in its ranks and didn't check up on the actual answer because I thought I knew. 8D
#12
Oh, poop. I FORGOT ABOUT COW TOO. But that's okay because I also forgot why Azathoth existed. 8D

Holy shit it totally does. O_O KIRI IS GIVING US ALL A NOT-SO-SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE GUISE.

Ahaha! I am amazed at winning anything! I came home plastered from the bar when I took the quiz and don't remember answering half the questions.
#17
This is a stupid question...
I don't know how to code a custom title, but I know what I want. Can I tell you what I want for my prize, or do I have to request someone to code it? *snugs*
