Camp Bell Tree 2023: Closing Ceremony

[kikotoot]

Where's Dumbledore with our "And for finding the most eggs of any cabin, the most points on UFO Findings of any cabin, and a perfect score on the quiz, 400 points to Actually Nevermind!" when you need him

In all seriousness, this was a very fun camp! It had a great mix of events that were suited to a huge variety of interests, and I loved some of the unique ones too that we got for the first time like the drawing constellations one (maybe something similar can come back in the winter under the guise of a snowstorm? )

Thank you staff for putting this together and thank you Actually Nevermind for being the best crew ever! The meme team became the dream team with how we came together for this impressive showing

So the announcements revealed that the spaceship has blown up. Does that mean all of the creepy alien babies are dead?

Thank you staff for running another camp event! I wasn’t expecting camp to return, and even more, I wasn’t expecting it to be on par with last camp. Space Camp Bell Tree has been a blast! Thank you for all your hard work in planning, coordinating and running Space Camp Bell Tree!

Congrats to the other teams and anyone who won a crew favourite/guessed CITB most correctly! I can’t wait to browse the entries from the other two teams.

Congratulations to my International Space Cetacean crew besties! I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Thanks to all the staff for hosting an amazing camp, sad it’s over back to reality…

I had such fun making new friends and losing sleep to play Mario kart til 1am

ISC foreverrrrrr

Well done to all the other teams too!!

So what were the names of your “General Discussion” threads? Ours was the “Galaxolotls Gab Garden”.

“Crew 2 Discussion” lmao
I suppose that is in Actually Nevermind fashion. We never bothered editing our name in there.

You guys had a cute one though! It conjures up for me thoughts of cute, little axolotls playing together in a little garden pond and having tea!

 

[DaCoSim]

Congrats ISC!!!! Great job!!! And congrats to all the winners as well. Thank you staff for a super fun event.

So what were the names of your “General Discussion” threads? Ours was the “Galaxolotls Gab Garden”.

Ours was just "Crew 4 General Discussion Thread". Guess who came up with the title? It was me.

 

[amemome]

I see Scavenger Hunt was rough for everyone... hope we're all recovering from that LOL.

Congrats on the very impressive win, ISC! And thank you for bringing Whale Shark NPC to life.

And shoutout to my fellow Galaxolotls. We made it to the end. We coordinated our booties off and made every fight a good fight. I think we have a lot to be proud of.

 

[Biyaya]

Congratulations, Cetaceans!

Enjoy your victory! I’m enjoying your and Galaxolotls’ little victories in the form of star fragments.

& thank you, staff, for hosting another event and doing your best to make it fun and special with the free time you have!

 

[LadyDestani]

Congrats ISC! You really kicked it into high gear during the wishing windows and never slowed down from there. It was a well deserved win.

Despite competing against each other head to head, it was lovely to see the camaraderie between our two teams. Special shout out to @Cheremtasy for the adorable artwork that paired our 2 mascots together.

My fellow Moon Bunnies, I feel so lucky to have been a part of this team. We worked hard, made new friends, and had fun. Congrats to all the winners of the individual challenges! @xara, I can't wait to see what kind of lineups you create with your Rainbow Crescent Moon! You earned it!

Last but certainly not least, thanks to Mick and the rest of the staff! I had an amazing time at Space Camp! You are the best!

@Mistreil Looking through the gallery, @lieryl's flag submission is messed up, instead showing on the gallery as the lip-biting emoji, which they included right before their flag. Otherwise, I'm absolutely blown away by so many of these flags, especially for ISC and Moon Bunnies! Incredible artwork, and I was over there making some geometric crap in Tennessine's real-world-style flag maker.

the way I laughed so hard

lieryl your actual flag design is very cute!! love the bunny fishing on the moon

 

[Liz!]

My first shout out goes to the staff. If you're still sane after this, Congrats.
I am always amazed at how much effort and patience you guys put into these events.
Thank you for your time, efforts and beautiful collectables.

Huge congrats to the winners. A well deserved win.

I have loved being on the Moon Bunnies team. A great bunch who were always supporting and helping at each other at every turn.

Big thanks to @Merielle, @xara, @LadyDestani & @bLink for being so selflessly helpful during the frequencies.
Many of us wouldn't have gotten there without you all. I hope you all won a rainbow crescent moon. You deserve it.

 

[rosetti]

after playing with lineups i am petitioning to make moon bunny's background space instead of snow

PLEASE NO

 

[LoveGraceMarie]

Ahh congrats International Space Cetaceans, I’m really proud of what we achieved in Actually Nevermind too this has been so much fun, thank you to all of the staff!!

 

[Zerous]

Congrats to all the winners and a big thank you to the staff !

 

[wrenbow]

Congrats ISC!

I wish I could have participated more but Space Camp was a great time, and it was my first ever team event! Despite making my account in 2014 I've been here so sporadically that I've managed to miss most of the events, but I definitely wasn't disappointed. I'm glad this one was my first, it was a lot of fun!

Thanks so much to the staff for all your hard work!!!

 

[Mokuren]

I had a lot of fun with this event! It's always good to come back here! I joined back in 2012 when forums were really popular but TBT is the only one I sticked with for years Part of it is the wholesome community and the fun events during the year.

I want to thanks the stuff for the effort and hugh amount of time you poured into the event and also all my fellow moon bunnies. We were a great team and I am thankfull to all of you. I am sure I will see you all around

 

[Aerith]

Wow, ISC!! You guys killed it! Even though our teams were distant and had few interactions (sadface), I could tell you all really bonded with each other, and that's wonderful, definitely what this event is all about
When we were making Space Bets and I saw some of the forum's most event-active members in Crew 3, I knew you guys had a shot for 1st! Unfortunately that was the only thing I was good at predicting for this event LOL.

I hope next go around we either have more chances to interact, fewer teams, or instead is a TBTers vs. The Staff event :3

Our Galaxolotl teamwork was indomitable! Even though we had a fair amount of inactive members preventing us from excelling in other areas, we came together and worked our butts off for each other. Us Galaxolotls got GUTS! For most of us, the gorgeous star fragment is our trophy. I wish the backdrop was permanent because I would rock it forever.

I have to showcase some Galaxolotl Gratitude to my fellow members:
@amemome for just being an amazing person overall, there aren't enough words for how much you've helped, whether it be as a guide or offering a kind word. wishing the best in life for you.
@digimon for always being a joy to watch at the gaming station and being a sweetie with enviable aesthetics

@Mr.Fox for your positivity, keeping spirits up, and being here!

There's so much more I want to say and more individuals I want to thank, but I'm dead tired and I've embarrassed myself by making this really long already ahshshshjs my love cannot be contained

Just know that I saw ALL of you Galaxolotls and I cherish you, whether we talked 100 times or not at all. I know what it's like to be the teammate in the background, but even so, your efforts are recognized and you are wonderful and valued.

I'm so grateful for the time spent with one another, the laughs shared, and the overwhelming support we gave to one another. Please don't be a stranger, I will always be receptive for a chat if you are ever so inclined, and I hope to see you around here. I treasure the memories we made.

That offer is certainly extended to all the other lovely people of opposing teams that I had positive interactions with.

Here's hoping for a Wishing Well/Star event in the Fair next year so we can all gloriously flood the forums with chatter and win together

also I would love a less time-sensitive Scavenger Race...
