The Twelve Days of Caelmas 2014

[Caelestis]

Oh, this was a tough one. The competition was stiff today. How I struggled to choose just one winner among the participants! I mean...

...there was this bit of nostalgia from Fullmetal.

There was also this rib-tickler from Mister36. I do love a headless lawyer (I exhibited the same amount of brains in law school).

Who couldn't smile at hanging with Mr. Noble?

There was real comedic drama in this, like Hamlet's famous soliloquy done in a chipmunk voice.

Absolute truth: I giggled like a moron at this.

Honorable mention to this winner from the Summer of Sand. But in the end, there could be only one...

On the tenth day of Caelmas, Caelestis gave to me...

...Garry's Mod!

Yes, this one goes to Earth Whale for showing Blankward screaming hysterically at an explosion. Did you have as much fun laughing at these screenshots as I did? I hope so! It was the perfect thing to cheer me up after a long day, so I am thankful to everyone who contributed.

Speaking of being thankful, here's a new one for you. For the eleventh day, I want to see you write a little message in this thread (it doesn't have to be long; even a single sentence will suffice) about what you like about the Team Fortress 2 Division.

What do you like about the TF2 Division?​

 

[Fullmetal]

What do you like about the TF2 Division?

I love the collection of misfits that we call a family. We have people from all walks of life. People well off, people who are stuggling. People who are content, people who are depressed. People who have vastly different views of life from one another. All the different interests and hobbies. Yet even though we have all these people who are so incredibly different from one another, we act as a family. We have our arguments and fights. We have our disagreements. We have our drama. Even with all this, we all look at each other as family. In the 7 years that I have been gaming on a PC and the 4 different communities I have been part of, this division and this organization is the only one that has acted like a real family.

tl;dr
This division has been like a family more than any other community I've been part of.

I love that even though I've seen many members come and go, even though very few of the current leadership team was even in eGO when I joined, the TF2 Division's spirit has never changed. It's something that has successfully been passed down from generation of gamers to the next, and I hope I will never see it change.

On the eleventh day of Caelmas, Caelestis gave to me...

...the Argyle Ace and the Outback Intellectual!

Thoughtful answers deserve thoughtful prizes. Fullmetal takes home the Argyle Ace and Nix claims the Outback Intellectual. Argyle is truly the pattern of the intelligentsia, second in sophistication only to wearing sport coats that have patches on the elbows.

Alas, today is the last day of Caelmas! Since it's the last day, let's go crazy. Something simple. Something contemptible. Something hilarious.

Most melee kills as Demoman!​

[Caelestis]

On the twelfth day of Caelmas, Caelestis gave to me...

...Dungeon Defenders!

And so, we come to the twelfth and final day of Caelmas. For raking in those Demoknight kills, Nix gets a copy of our home game: Dungeon Defenders!

So it is that Caelmas ends, but worry not. Santa Cael might be back next year if you are good girls and mentlegen. I hope 2015 is the best year yet for dabes division!​

 

[Nix]

great prizes this year

 

[KelpTheGreat]

What a nice thread! Thank you for being so generous, Cael!

 

[Insomnia Princess]

Yay! Thank you so very much for your generosity, Caelestis. We all thank you, Santa Cael!
