We had a fine time at our mech was event, O-Ken provided us with a huge, dirty, tunnel crawler and all the attendees got to scrubbing, after some prizes were dispensed with as much mayhem as could be managed, minus tesseracts. Here's everyone who came out and the prize list:

Bugbo- a simple vase and a Matter-of-Fact sustenance copier.
Holgorath- a snowglobe display case (which he returned for a future event) and a stout cleanbot.
Keiko- graciously returned their prizes to the pool for a future event.
Lupisentia- an experimental matter reorganizer and a wall-mounted plushie hammock.
Marcella- a simple vase and a mildly interesting thing.
Teren- a decorated conifer autofeeder and a telas ball.
Nyx- a RoamTek expedition tent and a fire pit table.
Zhel- an elaborate hookah and a botanical dehydrator.

(Many of these prizes have already been transferred to their new owners, but if you've not got yours yet, please poke me when you and I are both out of cryo).

Photo contest winners:

Nyx took first place, with a great pose in which she is writing Poet a ticket for "Bodily Harm" for causing poor O-Ken to fall over from lust, and her poster in in the works. Lupisentia came in second place and Relkath took third.

I'm pleased to announce that the event was a huge fund raising success. Donations by Teren, Bugbo, Lupisentia and Relkath increased our funding by almost 200k marks. Thus bringing the total to 1.2 million marks and 100 credits.

Thanks to all our attendees for their support of the POET prize, and plans for a casino night event aboard the Kolectiv ship "Ask Again Later" are already underway. If you'd like to perform at the event, a studio space is available on board.
