Thank you for participating! The votes were really close so we had multiple tie breakers to go through. Winners have one week from this post to ask to claim their prize on one of their other characters that didn't participate in the contest submission, after that all item prizes will be made available at Vikin in Lith Harbor. Here are the Winners for <Valentine Card Contest 2025> Category: Solo First place Winner: AkaUme https://royals.ms/forum/threads/valentine-card-contest-2025.242489/page-2#post-1510205 IGN(s): AkaUme Category (Solo/Group/Creative): Solo Recipient(s): All good Maplers and GMs Concept of card (optional): Love to all the good players who play this game with me and share in the nostalgic and new experiences. Also, a big thank you to the GMs and staffs who support this game. “AISHITERU” means “I love you” in my language. I wanted to express my love and gratitude in my own words. I used 33 roses, and it seems that 33 roses means “Saying ‘I love you’ with great affection”. I am not familiar with the culture of the number of roses, but if true, it is consistent with what I want to say. Roses are red, Clouds are like a bed. I love this game and you, I hope the same for you. Spoiler: Behind the scene It may not be necessary, but I can attest to the fact that this image was taken without editing. It was not easy to place and photograph all the roses before they disappeared. The drop technique I used has been used in PQ for a long time, so I think such experience was helpful. Through this contest, I learned that there is a culture of poetry that conveys love, “Roses are red,” and I also had the first experience of writing my own poem in English. (Probably not very well, but I hope you enjoyed it.) It was a lot of fun. Thank you.

Confident in his creation, God believed Eve would resist temptation. The Devil saw an opportunity to sow doubt, he proposed a simple test: the forbidden fruit - the Onyx apple, placed temptingly within Eve's reach. The Devil had a trick up his sleeve, he used the snake to tempt Eve into eating the apple. The snake told her that one bite of the apple will grant her godlike power and knowledge. On the other side came an angel who said that eating the apple means she will be exiled from the Garden of Eden, and be separated from the love of her life Adam forever. Eve declined eating the apple, choosing love over temptation.Shortly after, God himself appears in the garden with the angels to celebrate the love between his two creations, Adam and Eve. The devil spawns through a portal, angrily demands Eve to eat the apple, but as one more act of defiance, Eve turns her back on him and kisses Adam. And on that day of true love being displayed, Valentines was created and celebrated for thousands of years to this day!
