SHappens4 Forgotten Shift Happens Submission

I’m abashed to admit that I forgot to include one of the earliest submissions to Shift Happens contest. It was sent in by Nic of Nic Get Life and, while I loved the concept and execution, I unfortunately had to decline since it uses in-game models. It’s featured at left.

Thanks, Nic! Sorry for the absent-mindedness!

I hope to announce the results of the Shift Happens competition early next week (though honestly, you could probably just watch the poll results).

    VOTER CAT SEARCHES FOR TRUFAX.

    Thanks for the link, and as always, great showcase of informative/entertaining posts.

    I love the voter cat message! Although i don’t agree with all of hollywood’s opinions (oh lawd! gun control) we can agree that it is very important to vote. I also appreciated that they made that video. It’s the country where many here in this blog live and what happens to the U.S. affects you silly Canadians in your igloos too. =P
    It’s also very important to know that there are other choices then the two clowns who are running for office on the republican and democratic tickets. In my mind going under the grain of “what’s the point if i vote for a third party, it’s just a wasted vote anyway” is the same thing as saying that voting itself in a big election is pointless, because it’s not. I believe it was 5% of the American colonies that revolted against England? You don’t need everyone around you agreeing with you to make a change. Research other parties platforms and vote for yourself!

    Ok, political rant over. >.< In other news i love that Warsong Gulch picture! Silly kitties, frolicking with the Horde’s flag. ^_^ And speaking of voting I’m sad my choice doesn’t look to be winning but i like the winning choice as well so I’m not too sad. =)

    P.S. vote for Phae! ^_^ A happier, more treeish outlook for this country!

    @Runycat: Thanks for the cat… Runy.

    @Zackoria: If I run for president, it will have to be under the Green party … broccoli for all!

    @Beathooven: Wow, you’re way more studious than I ever was in college. There was one semester where, because I’d changed majors, I was only taking 10 hours/week and had classes on Tues/Thurs. It was great!

    @Abies: You’re welcome! I look forward to reading more from you!

    @Afflicnic: Thank you again. :-D

    @Aurik: That’s wonderful to hear! I really enjoy writing them.

    @Abagoo: Left … right … what are these but terms used by the non-Trees to diminish us and designate which among us should be harvested? I shun your human/ursine/feline left/right! PTUI!

    @Sydera: You’re welcome! Keep up the great Druiding!

    @Mooyagi: It looks wonderful; I love your banner. And I’m glad you changed to a theme that’s different from Runy’s, too! Diversity is good. :-)

    @Treesus: I think this article will be helpful to you.

    @Mugglebane: Well thank you for the mutual link love! It’s a link love fest around here! <3

Hey, Stormwalker! Great to hear from you! Our little sprout is growing fast, but don’t call him “little” when he’s around or he’s sure to tell you “I a little bit big!” :-)

Stormwalker
I…I…kinda miss you and your Druidic writings of old. Good to see you’re still around, busy with RL. The little sproutling looks a little bigger now! Regards, Stormwalker, of old.
