==A Rick Roll==
A great big congratulations to MikeChilds, the Cafe's latest new mod addition. And also our famed and annoying rick roller ;)
Everyone do your best to rick roll this guy and unseat him as master rick roller. :D
==A Kwote==
After mild observation of Talesworth Arena: Death Watch, doctormarmalade found the attacks a little strange.
doctormarmalade: Ven, After playing all those console games with brilliant stories and no odd things ingame, It is a tad bit odd to find myself fighting a drunk man with a flamethrower whilst he attacks me with vomit.
==A Competition==
I will be posting the results of the competition over time, so as to not flood you with too much Fantastic Contraption. The winner of the first division will be announced on the weekend when I have time to look at them all (seriously you guys, you got really into this! :D)
~Ven
Just for fun, I've decided to open another competition, this time for Fantastic Contraption. I just made this up on the spot, so we'll see how it goes.
This is all to do with the level "The Wall". To enter, all you have to do is somehow give me the link to your contraption. If you win, you get brownie points. And so forth. The challenges are as follows:
1. Completed with the least number of pieces - In the event of a tie, person who submitted their contraption first wins
2. Completed without knocking over any block of the wall (By Vote) - You may not use a catapult to propel the goal object over the wall; c'mon, make it interesting :D
3. Most interesting design. (By Vote) - It must complete the level
To save your contraption, click the save button and give me the link via comments on this blog or via whisper on my profile if you wish for your design to remain secret.
Note:
-You may enter each challenge twice.
-Please tell me which challenge your contraption is designed for.
After a week (2nd-9th of October) I will put all contraptions on the blog and you get to vote on your favs for the 2nd and 3rd challenges to determine the winners.
Been a while ^^
Dustar: As long as your proud to be a slob, it's all good. ;p
Jonno_Gradian: I'm not a slob, im a high school stu--
Jonno_Gradian: waaaiiit
Xidphel: PROCRASTINATORS UNITE!!!
Xidphel: ...
Xidphel: Tomorow.

Hello Cafe Kongers! Been a while since there's been a post so Mike is here bringing you not one but TWO major events
Firstly, I've decided that due to the ever-growing number of people with Wii's there will be an inaugral Super Smash Bro's Brawl Cafe Kong tourney! Everyone who has a copy of this game and a Wi-Fi connection can take part, although it will be open exclusively to people in Cafe Kong. The rules will be simple: Best of 3 matches, up to 4 people in a match (depending on numbers) and the top 2 progress in each match. I'll see what I can do but the winner will get an awesome prize. A cookie or something
Can you please post your SSBB code in your comment below so eveyone knows. Thanks
Secondly I believe that the CK community is like a family - hence, it'd be cool to see what we all look like. The comments for this can now be posting your picture to let others know what you look like.
Ay comments or thoughts about the tourney shout me on Kong
Cheers
MikeChilds
So, I was thinking of what to write for my newest post since my 5 weeks away from Kong. I was in Digg Mark 1 (ironic right?) and chitown15 (its owner) was commenting how this blog has only 27 posts, while the DM1 blog, created a few days ago, has around 10 posts. I felt like I needed to make another post to make it 28 posts. I thought for a moment, told DM1 that I was thinking about stuff to write for the blog, and an idea hit me. Lets make me a Cafe Kong Kongai Tournament!
It will be be 3 card or 5 card, I will let the competiters decide. Single elimination, hopefully able to get 16 or 32 people. Comment below, leave your vote (3 or 5 card), and Kongregate name. Seeds will be placed randomely, and it is up to the two people facing each other to play at a certain point in time, and leave me a shout (physcomonkey) on who won and who lost. Hopefully somebody with some leverge could get an admin to award points for the 1st 2nd and 3rd place. Tournament starts when we get 16 or 32 people sign up, depends on how long it takes 16 people to sign up. Sign up!
It was a boring day at the Cafe. Fabricant and MikeChilds were bored. DeFeo2222 had arrived. Thinking that he would be an awesome Mod, he asked a Mod in the room to recommend him. The Mod said "no". Confused, DeFeo2222 began to explain why he would be such a good Mod for the room. Unimpressed, the Mod reminded him that asking to become a Mod will result in a "no".
MikeChilds, witnessing the incidence, thought of an evil plan. "I shall Rick-Roll this poor soul" he thought as he typed away to DeFeo. "Hey" said Mike. "I heard you wanted to become a Mod. I know the secret to become a Mod". Happy with the news, DeFeo replied "yes wat". "www.bringvictory.com - it's a guide by a former mod who lets you know all the secrets" said Mike as he grinned to himself. A few short moments passed. DeFeo had watched the video. "MIKECHILDS" he screamed in anger. MikeChilds laughed. "You have to watch the video. When you do, a button appears. When you click on it, it takes you to the site". Many Rick-Rolls later, DeFeo still did not understand. He tried everything MikeChilds told him to do. Watch the video. Look at more Rick Roll videos and find a "secret button". Watch them again. It was brilliant
Angered by this, DeFeo threatened Mike to tell him the secret. He even made an alt account called IWORK. On this account, he claimed to be a secret Mod and demanded Mike to tell him to the secret. Mike did not want to tell the "secret". He threatened bans, but Mike would not break. The joke has been going on for 15 minutes now. DeFeo was determined to get this "secret" so he challenged Mike to a race in Platform Racing 2. It was an epic battle full of fail. As planned, Mike lost at the end. Mike had to tell DeFeo the "secret". Mike sighed. "The secret is..." whispered Mike. "what" said DeFeo.
"Everybody laugh at DeFeo2222" delcared Mike to the Cafe. Unfortunately, they did not laugh. "A DEAL IS A DEAL ISNT" yelled DeFeo, who was soon told to turn caps off. Fabricant then acted as if he did not know what was going on. DeFeo begged Fabricant to ban MikeChilds. "Why?" asked Fabricant. DeFeo began to explain that MikeChilds knew a site that turned people into Mods. He provided the link. "This is very serious..." said Fabricant. The room went silent. "SERIOUS BUSINESS! The Internet is not a truck! It's a series of tubes!" yelled Fabricant. DeFeo was confused. "ban mikechilds" he said. Some members of the Cafe were laughing at poor DeFeo's guillibility. Others were confused. MikeChilds began to tell the story. Every Cafe Kong members began to laugh with the exception of a few who think Rick Rolling is stupid. DeFeo left the room. The humiliation was too much to handle.
Around 8 hours after the joke, DeFeo came into Feed The Ducks. He called the Mods and told them to ban MikeChilds. When asked why, he told them about the apparent site that turns people into Mods. People laughed, but it was serious business still. If you see DeFeo still talking about this site that turns people into Mods, please take a screenshot and post it in the comments.
This has been a long story created by Fabricant. Thank you for reading and no thank you if you TL;DR'd it.
Well, the results are in!
A huge thanks to everyone who voted and an even bigger thanks to those who submitted images; it was extremely close. In the end, a tie was needed to be broken and the winner is:
War_Wrecker with his "Win"ning picture:
And runner-up TheCrom for Hammertime!
Congratulations to both of you; you now have some bragging rights!
I've got an idea towards a prize, but it may take a while to come into effect. For now, War gets 2 points and Crom gets 1 point towards the prizes (whatever they end up being)

I missed this one yet it was supplied by Fabricant. He has made a brilliant motivational poster

Today, a particularly lengthy conversation granted to us by Jonno_Gradian after a certain user tried to blame all his trollish-ness on his little brother. For confidentiality, his name has been removed from the text and replaced with 'Dude'. Heh. Enjoy.
Dude: Please that is my brother!!! T_T hiks
Venzael: Enough of the brother story...
Dude: Not me!!!! if you cant trust me, lets go to the cort
MikeChilds: Judge Ven will preside
MikeChilds: all rise
Dude: JONNO!!! what did you mean of "P"???
Venzael: Order! Order!!
Hiccups125: I call the jury!
Dude: hahahahaha
MikeChilds: Jonno and I are the commentators
Jonno_Gradian: It's a beatiful day for trials today, don't you think so Mike?
MikeChilds: I do indeed
MikeChilds: I know what the audience are expecting today: a public ban sticker
Jonno_Gradian: oh yes, Speaking of the public
Dude: dadadadadadadadadadadada
Jonno_Gradian: Tonight we have the public versus Dude
Dude: hey!!!!!!
MikeChilds: a strong first arguement from Dude there
Venzael: I found his lack of persuasive language, disappointing, Mike.
Jonno_Gradian: as you can see, the public destroy in numbers, but Dude has his little brother
Dude: N
Venzael: Of course, the opening statement is the strongest.
Jonno_Gradian: it's gonna be a close one, lets watch...
MikeChilds: how can you argue with "dadadadadadadadadadadada"?
Venzael: Well, his underuse of the other 24 letters let him down, I felt, Mike.
Hiccups125: I, the jury find the defendant...
Jonno_Gradian: And here come's the verdict...
MikeChilds: *drumroll*
MikeChilds: dun dun duuuun
Hiccups125: Guilty!
MikeChilds: and an unsurprising result, he has been found guilty
MikeChilds: your thoughts Jonno?
Jonno_Gradian: It was an ambush from the start Mike
Dude: CASH ME
Jonno_Gradian: almost as obvious as a Troll's vocabulary
MikeChilds: but what a great ambush to watch
Dude: Please Give your cash!
MikeChilds: this has been CK Court and I've been Mike
Dude: This is a robery
Jonno_Gradian: And I've been Jonno
Jonno_Gradian: Goodnight!
MikeChilds: Good night
Okay, so it's been two weeks since the deadline. Yes, I'm lazy. Deal with it :P
Although I think one came in after the deadline. Does that make it a zombieline? Eh, anyway.
Here are the entries. The winner will be decided by popular vote. Click to enlarge the images.
You may vote for two of the images. Whisper me on my profile to place a First Preference and a Second Preference. The First Pref will receive two points and the Second Pref will receive one. You cannot vote for the same image twice :P
The image with the most votes will win. In the event of a tie, I'll get someone else to pick between the tied images.
Voting closes on the 22nd of July

Hai people, Mike here :)
Just offering congratulations to the two newest mods to come from the Cafe, TheCrom and Sakuya. TheCrom has been a great member of the Cafe for a while, representing England and fully deserving of the big M. Sakuya is a fiesty American who'll be sure to kick the trolls where the sun don't shine.
Congratulations to both of them on receiving the mod-ship, they'll both do a fine job
Mike
Yes, I neglected to use alliteration due to the whole kkk thing. Anyway, so here's time for a little experiment. How about a little competition between us Cafe Kongers?
The first challenge is to create the most humorous image from the game: Arcane. You may use anything within the game you want, however the rules are as follows:
-You must use a screen capture from Arcane, by Hadar1989
-You may not edit the image so it is recognizably Arcane, but you may crop and add things, like, say, donuts or captions and so forth.
Your prize is yet to be announced. And by that, I mean it hasn't been decided. But your name will go down in the Cafe Kong Hall of Fame!
To enter, please upload your picture to Imageshack or Photobucket or some other filehosting site and send me a whisper on my Kongregate profile with the address
This change is prevent people from getting ideas from others' work :P
Entries close 30th of June
Have fun!
Ven.
Okay, so it's been ages since an update and I have nothing to babble about. Hope you've all been well. So, here's a few random quotes on the topic of absolutely nothing. One of them was commented in the first Kwote, thanks, Doc :)
MikeChilds:I am not even sure that I have picturs of me for the photo topic...
Doctormarmalade: Put your face on a scanner. Might just work.
MikeChilds:...
MikeChilds: MY EYES!
Doctormarmalade: or give you cancer. Lots of cancer.
loki420: Yum.
MikeChilds: A Hard badge that's Hard? Incredible.
Thought I might as well through this one out, I'm sure many of you can relate to this.
Hoodlum4hire, on the topic of Drone Wars, this weeks card challenge:
Hoodlum4hire: I love my repair drone. "Well, I could sit here and repair that big hulking drone defending me ooooorrrr.....I could... leg it!
~Ven
Okay, here's a brand new segment for no particular reason, the Café Kwotes! Here we will post some funny quotes said by our dedicated Caféers in parody to popular games on Kongregate. I'm sure many of you may be able to empathise with these quotes.
Our first quote (or kwote) is by Jonno_Gradian, on the subject of Papa's Pizzeria:
Jonno_Gradian: Hello my good sir, now I'd like a pizza
Jonno_Gradian: with two slices of pepperoni in
Jonno_Gradian: thhhhhhhhhat corner there
Jonno_Gradian: also, i'd like it cooked for 30 seconds
Hope you smiled, tell me if this segment is worth continuing, too.
~Ven.
Weeeellll, it looks like we have two more mods in the lovely Café! Maybe more, but only two I've seen so far.
Anyway, a hearty congratulations to McCoyEVP and to Denvish for getting that elusive M badge that they deserve.
We certainly have a nice mod population now! Enjoy yourself, Caféers!
~Ven
Well, I'm not quite sure what to say. I'll start by thanking Val for her kind words and trust, albeit far too late. Thank you, Val. I'll do my best. And to those of you who miss Val, don't worry; I'll make sure she keeps her promise and visits us often. ;)
Anyway, I know quite a few of you Café-ers and I hope to meet you all in the not-too-distant future. Together we can make the greatest room Kongregate has ever known, and we've already started!
Although several of our resident mods have left, due to being granted their own room (GenX and Butterfly623; make sure to visit them, too, in Difference Engine and The Garden), we're lucky enough to have another new mod, fresh off the printing press. So make sure you all congratulate Kyru (he may be quiet, but if you bombard him with hugs I'm sure he'll respond).
But The Café won't need too much moderation; after all, we are brilliant.
So, any ideas for the blog, please comment and hopefully I'll be meeting you all soon ^^
~Ven.
