++ Vow your soul to Chaos! ++ ETLIV Satellite event

[thamier]

yay imagery and rewards, i read imaginary rewards first :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

Well, until Forté creates the Soul Fofeit medallions, the rewards remain imaginary. to you guys at least, because the Soul Vow complete medallions are finished and they're looking pretty good. ;)

[ChaosRising]

Speaking of completions...can you please post an actual points value near my name, rather than the ? that exists at the moment? Of course, we could just say that I contributed infinitely higher points that what I managed....the Gods would not mind more points in their favor. ;)

[Augustus b'Raass]

You mean like this? I know you told me that you went for 4 times, and I have taken that up in the update charts, but you never actually changed your initial Soul Vow (linked to in the 84 x ? in the first page, which I assume you're referring to) to say 'x4' or 'quadruple' in stead of the kinda vague 2-5x. So please change that, and I'll change the post. :tu:

[ChaosRising]

I, ChaosRising, vow my soul to Khorne, and promise 2-5x the point value of my original vow. Obviously, as is required by Khorne's laws, I will be doing as much as I can.

 

I, ChaosRising, retroactively pledge to complete 4 times the value of my original 82 point vow, for a new minimum of 328 points of Khornate blessings.

[Augustus b'Raass]

:tu: editted accordingly.

[Warsmith Uveron]

So how many of the 'Chosen' who finished the Soul Vow, will be aiming to repeat this again next year! 

 

I know I will.. 

[Teetengee]

My soul was sold to the gods long ago.
Now and forever, payment is due.

[Augustus b'Raass]

A Soul Vowed this year is a soul vowed eternally, of course! ;)

 

Forté says he'll most likely be making us medallion awards this weekend, people. I ask just a little more patience. :tu:

Only the one for those who failed to be done ;)

[thamier]

so many banners i dont know how to make them all fit, i want to keep my balefire legion banner ofc, but then i need to fit the ETL chaos banner and the 5 complted banner and the mark of hero plus the black crusade banner when its done, how to make it all fit without makeing the moderati cry?

[Adra'Melek]

Yeah, I already had a Melta shoved in my face over by sig (in a very nice and polite way of course)

[Teetengee]

About me pages are your friend.

[Beachymike123]

Also spoiler tags (that's how I've done mine now).

[Augustus b'Raass]

Well, both the ETL Custos Fidei and the Primus Inter Pares will come in petite medallions, as will the Soul Vow completions. When they come out, you can delete those crazy wide 300x100 banners for both the ETL and the Black Crusade our of your siggy and into your ´About Me´ page, and replace them with cool, but small little medallions. :tu:

Small reminder: all our banners together may be 800 pixels wide, tops.

Remember: you may display a total of 800x100 pixels of banners in your signature. Square ones are 100, medallions are 33, and the large ones are 300 wide. An example: My current siggy (and I´m writing this on August 7, 2015, for future readers), is exactly 800 pixels wide, so I think all of you have some space left.

Hold on to your tighty whities. Smaller medallions are coming. But unless you can pay my work wages you'll have to wait till Sunday.

The old ETL and CoC ones are in the last couple of pages in the old topics (links are in the resources thread).

 

As for to current Soul Vows...I'm sure you'll know soon enough.

[Augustus b'Raass]

OK boys, the medallions are in, so we can have our final report!

The Black Crusade was set up as a satellite event of the E Tenebrae Lux IV event, and we should see its results within the context of this, the greatest of all online painting competitions. The ETL IV has been an awesome event, where we the Chaos Faction, have managed to get back from a somewhat moderate position, claw our way back among the true competitors, and take the absolute lead during the last weeks. In the very last week, we sealed the deal with 33,000 points worth of completions, the highest final completion rate by a very large margin amongst all the ETL factions, and remained reigning ETL champions and Primes Inter Pares for the second year running!

This alone deserves a standing ovation (and much dancing) which we've given ourselves over at the Chaos Strategium. But in this thread, we can pat each other on the shoulder in addition to the accolades we've earned in the ETL strategium and the main thread: for perhaps without our combined efforts to double, triple, quadruple, quintiple, and in one case even decatriple (or whatever the hell the verb for 'times thirty' is) our original vows were.

So, in addition to the Black Crusade banner and medallion, which you can still wear in your siggy if you want

So! Here's the final update:

And here are the medallions that are the spoils of completing your Soul Vows!

Doubled
Those who have successfully doubled their original vows are: Augustus b'Raass, Beachymike123, Bearingtheword, Malisteen, Uveron. Please take your medallion:

Tripled
Those who have successfully tripled their original vows are: Ancient Helveticus and Forté. Please take your medallion:

Quadrupled
Those who have successfully quadrupled their original vows: ChaosRising, Dreadclaw and Razblood. Please take your medallion:

Quintupled
Those who have successfully quintupled their original vows: SlaveToDarkness and Teetengee. Please take your medallion:

Decatripled
And we made a unique medallion for the very special crazy person who managed to paint thirty times his original vow: thamier. Please take your medallion:


FAILURES
Alas, there are also three Frater who have unfortunately failed their soul vow due to unforeseen RL circumstances and/or bad planning: Andra'Melek and reigning ETL Chaos Champion Steve Shields, who both failed to complete their soul vow, but who made the right choice and did not revow after they finished their last vow in the last week. Steve shields still managed to complete a whopping 12,000 points, and Andra'Melek's contribution of 1149 points is nothing to sneeze at either. It is only Aeternas that truly failed in the ETL, by not completing his revow, thus losing the points earned in his completed vows, and as such substracting from the Strategium's completion rate. He has not been heard from in a couple of weeks, so perhaps RL is getting in the way of his hobby time. Let's hope he's OK and that he gets back to read this message in good health. HOWEVER, it is not to be denied that these three culprits have failed their vows to the gods, and therefore THEIR SOULS ARE LOST!!! Bear this medallion to remind you of your failure in the eyes of the gods, you unworthy worms! (still, it's a pretty cool medallion )




SO! That's it this year. Congrats to all, and let's rock it next year!!!

Special and enormous thanks to frater Forté to take the time to make all these excellent medallions.

[Beachymike123]

@Augustus b'Raas: This was a well run satellite event, gave us a bit more motivation to up our points I think. Well done on keeping track of it all.

@Forte: Dude, those medals look sweet. I'll certainly be wearing mine with pride for a while.

Great job guys, you fellow filthy heretics and traitors make this part of the best online community.

[Teetengee]

"both those three" ???

all grammar aside, thanks for everything Forte and Auggie

[Augustus b'Raass]

@Beachymike123: thanks buddy, no problem and again thanks to Forté for the excellent iconography of both events.

 

@Teetengee: Thanks for spotting that! I believe the 'both' was a remnant of another version of the text. Edited accordingly. And you´re welcome for the event. It was fun to run it. :tu: 

[thamier]

thanks alot for the info Forte, and thank you both Forte and Augustus, you both did a great job and made the ETL even more exciting and fun.

 

and this is the first banner i ever earned that was made just for me, it is awsome.

 

might have tomgo all out and get some more

[Adra'Melek]

I gave my soul willingly
