The Magnificent Mega Giveaway of the Marvellous Silentz's Generosity - CLOSED
Contest is Closed. Click here to see the full list of entries. I will update this post with the name of the winner/s to the right of the items as things are decided and sent out.
Sadly another KoL player has found more to do in the real world, than allows for time in the Land of Loathing. However, Silentz did log on to give away everything possible, to ensure things didn't go to waste. A few things were given directly in chat, but it turns out that there were quite a lot of things... 
And so, on Silentz's behalf, I now have rather a lot to give away, from big ticket, all the way down to a single cherry
The idea here is for items to go to people who will actually use and enjoy them, not just sell them in the mall!
This competition is open to all players (well, except me of course 
) of all abilities.
No multies! Feel free to name one of your multies to receive a prize/s, rather than your main, but please only enter using one forum account per real life person. (I'm assuming there are still real life people out there??)
Post all entries in this thread.
Start each entry with the name of the prize item and your in-game character name/id that you want the prize to go to please. If you're going for a skill, please only chose a skill that you want to eventually perm, that you don't currently have any source of. Remember that the sandpaperable skills, you don't need to perm, but can re-read each ascension to reacquire the skill, if you're currently short on karma.
Multiple entries allowed (well, there is a lot to give away here), but please try to restrict yourselves a little
I am unlikely to give more than one big ticket item/player, so you may want to state your preferences if you're going to enter multiple times. This may not affect anything, but just on the off-chance I land up with a split decision, I'd rather you got something you wanted the most
Keeping entries short and sweet is less likely to make my eyes glaze over as I read them 
Please do not go back and change entries, I probably won't be re-reading from the start again each time, so if you want to radically change something, a new entry would be nicer, and just state that it replaces your previous one.
Keep everything clean and respectful please, or expect to be disqualified from everything.
Mostly, we're here to revel in the joy of this game that so many of us love, and to try and get nice items out to players to help them enjoy the game even more!
Entries close at the end of the next scheduled Halloween. So on the evening of Wednesday 29th January, 8:30pm, AZ server time. I will endeavour to get everything distributed by mid February.
Let the games begin....
The big ticket items first:
Jekyllin hide belt Aleril (#1899710)
Make a new KoL skill of Silence and Noise. Don't just go for overpowered, fun or imaginative is more likely to win.
pilgrim shield Lysdexia (#1670361)
Pilgrims don't need a lot of personal possessions do they? Nominate another player for this shield, and tell everyone why this player should get this shield. Please start all entries with both your in-game nominated char-name/id, and the char-name/id of the recipient. Please do not nominate multies of yourself, or of players who have already entered anything here with another character.

Post comp note: I did say from the start that I was unlikely to give more than one big item / player, this is three items, an outfit is not an item! Plus, I decided the first two a few days ago, but I'm still stuck on the third choice, so I decided for now I'll send out the first two anyhow, I haven't forgotten the third though!

And then there is the rest.....
There are still some very nice items in all of the lists below. You'll have to sift through yourselves to find what appeals to each of you. So here, I'm just going to do a few generic contests, name what you'd like to enter for, you can choose a handful of things, as you may have a winning entry, but may not get your first choice, though there are also a lot of multiple items here. Twinkly wads I may just give away as participation prizes to non-winners, I'll see how things pan out.
Photo contest! Depict the relative Silence of January after the hustle and bustle of December. Or not! If January isn't the lull after the storm for you, show us what January means to you. An explanation with each photo please
Spoil a newbie! Tell us what you think would be the best first 11 items to receive as a new player, or a tale of when you were a new player and another KoL player did something for you that made your day.
Make your case! Tell us how winning your item of choice from the below, would enhance your enjoyment of this game that we love. (Factoid chasing is also a valid reason)
Get crafty! Make something from KoL, post your photo of it, and let us all see how creative you are!
