The Bell Tree World Championship: Closing Ceremony

[Chris]

​

Our first ever team-based event, The Bell Tree World Championship, has officially come to a close. Firstly, we would like to say thank you to everyone who came together between May 8th - 23rd 2021 whether you were a participant in the games or a cheerleader for your teammates. An event of this nature and scale cannot run without many active participants so thank you everyone for doing your part. No matter how many points you earned, whether it be 25 or 250, you still helped out your team and every point counted in the race for first place!

Well played everyone, and thanks a lot to the staff for hosting! This was definitely an awesome event. I didn't have the time to participate as much as I would have wanted but still loved seeing all the engagement and memes. <3

 

[daringred_]

CONGRATS TO MY FELLOW RED GUYS, GALS AND NON-BINARY PALS!
<3​

 

[Antonio]

AHHHHHH I'M SO EXCITED, ALL ARE HARD WORK PAID OFF!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Congratulations to everyone who played, this has been absolutely wonderful.

 

[idiotdoomspiral]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[kikotoot]

We did it Redds! This event was incredibly fun to participate in and led to tons of fun gaming sessions and memeable moments, on the forums and in the discord. Thank you so much staff for putting it together and to everyone who took part for making it as fun as it was!

(also: peeps the invader collectible I won from the raffle )

 

[Coach]

Woohoo, red team!!!! ❤

Well done everyone, and thanks again to all the staff for hosting! This was crazy fun.

 

[IonicKarma]

It's been an amazing two weeks full of playing games with some of the friendliest people I've ever met. It's been great enjoying all the laughs, memes, and struggles with you all!

Even though my team didn't win, I had a lot of fun and accomplished my own personal goal of doing well in Pokemon, even getting 1st which I did not expect to happen!

Thank you to all the staff for making this happen by putting together this amazing event! I can only imagine how much time this took out of your personal lives to plan an event for people you mostly haven't ever met before!

 

[You got mail!]

I don’t even know what to say congratulations and hurray Jolly Redds! And it’s been very fun playing these awesome games with y’all and seeing various cheers. I give much cheers to all the the teams and their participants. Definitely something really unique.

 

[kayleee]

Congrats Reds!!! You guys worked hard and earned that victory!!! I know the Bellflowers worked hard too and I’m so glad we got second place!!

 

[Snowesque]

Whoa!! Great job all. ♥

 

[Nefarious]

Congrats Jolly Redds for the win and congrats to the MVPs and raffle winners as well!

A big congrats and good job to everyone in every team that participated! There was a lot of art made, nights unslept and streams meme'd, it's been really fun these past two weeks. The real reward are the friends we made along the way.

 

[That Marshal Fangirl]

*Reads results* Red won?! *Keeps reading* I WON A GOOMBA??? I can't believe this, I'm so happy! I'd like to thank the Jolly Redds for being the most amazing team ever, we really did it! Congrats to all the trophy/Tetris winners as well

 

[LambdaDelta]

yooo, great job, us!! showing everyone that put us in last for the predictions what for

though also, a fine job by all the other teams too. purple certainly looked like the biggest threat, and that points difference is so small that it certainly looks like our (near-)end-of-event accomplishments might have actually made quite a difference, but still. regardless of the competition, it was just fun to play with and against anyone, regardless of team and watch everyone come out to either play or ****post cheer too

and of course a great job for all the tetris winners too. the amount of dedication you guys had is honestly absurd, but in a good way... I think. also, grats to all the raffle winners. these seem like they could be some quite interestingly fun dates to work lineups with

so yeah, a fantastic event all around. a big thanks to all the staff that helped to put it all together and keep it running. exctra shout out to the red team captains, especially @dizzy bone for the crazy amount of work done in managing our points and all. plus our staff members whose equipment let us watch and cheer on our teammates (or just cheer for vris regardless of team affiliation in mk8) @Vrisnem and @LaBelleFleur

hopefully everyone had at least a bit of fun, and even if you didn't win big this time, hopefully this event comes back and some of you will get it the next go

 

[Millysaurusrexjr]

Congrats!!! Froggy Chairs is still number 1, in my heart

 

[Rosch]

Congratulations to the Redd Team, all the MVPs, and to all of us!

This was such a fun event. Even though I didn't participate on the games, creating art and haiku, and supporting the our team was so much fun. I really enjoyed the event.

Thank you TBT staff for bringing such an amazing event. ☺

 

[neoratz]

WE DID IT.... I LOVE YOU REDDS

SERIOUSLY awesome event. im so glad i could participate

 

[~Kilza~]

We may have come in 2nd, but nobody can convince me that the Bellflowers don't feel like winners regardless! We did an excellent job together Bellflowers, I'm so proud of what we accomplished!

Congrats to the Jolly Redds for winning, and to the Froggy Chairs and Blue's Clues for the effort they put up as well! It was a tough competition, all of you performed admirably and helped push us to perform our best every day! Also a special congrats to the MVPs (Digi, Emolga, Lynn, Equity) for the insane job they did during these 16 days and the point totals they ended up putting up. All of you definitely earned those Tetris Grids!

Thank you to the staff for all the hard work you put into this event to make it a success! Even though there were some bumps along the way, ultimately I feel like the event as a whole ran smoothly and was well executed, and I definitely hope we see it back in the future! I hope you're able to get some well deserved rest now that this event is over!

(or just cheer for vris regardless of team affiliation in mk8)

Cheering for Vris regardless of team affiliation is something we will always share
❤

 

[LambdaDelta]

(there's so many congratulations to give, that it's hard to keep track of, whoops)
