[tigerlilly]

Robin: Hello everyone! I'm glad you all made it!
I hope you enjoyed the afterparty?
Now it's time to wrap things up!
And what better place is there to relax, than the museum!
Luffy: Ahhhh…Museum..sounds soo boring...
Nami: LUFFY! Robin won this year, so she's the one to decide where we will spent the evening this time!
Luffy: But there's nothing to eat in here! The year I won I took you all to the All-You-Can-Eat at the Baratie...!
Sanji: Don't remind me...That night you ate so much, the old man Zeff almost went out of business..
Franky: Don't worry Captain! I bet it will be SUPER INTERESTING in here!
Zoro:Z-Z-Z-Z
Nami: AND YOU WAKE THE HELL UP!
Robin: Fufufu. Alright! Then let's begin our tour!

**THE PRELIMINARIES

** Artist: kaizoku_Chopper

Chopper: Wow, those are a lot of people! Hey look that's me over there!
Usopp: Oh yeah! I'm there too! Look! in the right corner!
Robin: Yes, we all made it into the preliminaries! The tournament began with many, many contestans. However every round only the very best three could proceed! Let's take a look, shall we?

[hide] **THE KRIEGLIMINARY

**
Brook: So Absalom and Don Krieg kidnapped a dog just to get to the next round? The poor animal!
I have a bone with them to pick! Yohoho
Zoro: They teamed up and couldn't even make it. What a bunch of losers.
Robin: Perona however managed to make through, thanks to her more dedicated campaigns! **
Artist: zeroten

**Artist: RobbyBevard [/hide]Robin: You see the difference?
Sanji: EWWWW. YES…

Usopp: The campaigners would make different prophecies about the outcome…?
Zoro: But none of them were right, it turned out to be a draw. Hahaha!
Robin: It's not really funny, many poeple almost got a heartattack thanks to this heartstopper. Also this round coined the phrase "Posting more spam than in the Buggy Otohime match." Look, it's in the dictionary.
Sanji: Wow, there it is! Next to "Pulling a Vivi"!

[hide] That's it everyone! After 83 matches and thousands of votes, many surprising outcomes and hundreds of hilarious campaigns, the AP Character tournament 2011 is officially over!

We hope you enjoyed it as long as it lasted and want to take the time to thank you personally for taking part in it!

It's thanks to you and your dedicated support, with campaigns and worthwhile contributions, that this event can be called a success! We hope to see you participate again in the next year!

We also would like to thank the administrators and moderators who helped us behind the scenes. Especially Urouge, who kept things in order and watched out for troublemakers, as well as RobbyBevard, who tirelessly worked on the indescribably great designs of the Wanted posters for the matches.

Last but not least we want to thank Eiichiro Oda for creating these lovable and diverse characters, which are so much fun to support!

See you later, Spacecowboys!

@tigerlilly:

You posted my image without the crapy grey beard.

I could have sworn ….:wassat:

[Raging Donuts]

This was great! Very nice way of wrapping things up.

Thanks mods, not only for this closing ceremony, but for all the work during the entire tournament. :happy:

[MDL]

hums along to "what is love"

bravo! can't wait until next year~!

[No Maam]

I'd like to thanks everyone, especialy all fellow Robin supporters.

[piratemarimo]

That was a fantastic closing ceremony! :D

Great tourney, guys!

[joesephes]

That was great! Too bad my vid didn't even get a mention. But whatever, thanks for the fun tourny guys! :)

[Outerspec]

AWESOME CLOSING!!!!

Wow, going back through all those campaigns I'm really impressed at all the hard work people put into these characters and this year's tournament. Thank you everyone for making it a year to remember and especially thanks to the tourney mods for keeping everything organized, and providing us with such a means of entertainment.

This was Robin's year so a special congrats to her and definitely the runner up Enel!

[Venomous Warden]

Indeed it was a fantastic year, everyone did a great job and this been by far the funnest year ive been a part of. So many great matches and images will leave lasting memories for some time, thank you mods, and thanks for the good times everyone.

And just know that I will return like no other next year and it will be his time that you can count on

As well as a few less crap jokes, but dont hold your breath on that one

But until then we can dance our asses off

[C_uggs]

Great campaigns, great tournament, great matches and great way to finish every thing.You make me proud, young warriors of AP Forums.Next year is cloase, so let´s celebrate with the best moments and campaigns from this year.

[zachri]

Kind of a shame that neither of the Law matches or the Kidd vs Nami bet were mentioned at all D:

although seeing one of my campaigns for Moriah vs Ace in there… happy.

[eerie]

There's always some trouble, both mistakes on our side and mischief on the regular user side. But this year was pretty calm and myself and the rest of the mods thank you guys for that. We had a lot of fun - I hope everyone else did, too. :) And thank you for the thank you's.

As for those bounty formulas… We will find them all soon for you. Promise. Before I was sick, now I'm just being lazy and need to set aside some time to do find them all. Hehe.

[MasterKingJC]

This…was...AMAZING!!
Wonderful campaigns and dedicated campaigners!

I can barely hold back the tears...

EDIT: Now I can finally change my avatar.

[Kitsune Inferno]

Excellent work all around (I'd say this tops the musical!) This cracked me up: "Enel: Tsk…That never happened like that... Makino: Yeah, I remember I was the one steering the dinosaur...This is not very accurate. Usopp: THEY ARE RIDING DINOSAURS?! Makino: But in the end, I have to admit that you won fairly. So let me fly you to the next round! Enel: Yahahahahahaha! Deal!" Also, you erroneously credited the Nami's face on an orange campaign to me.~

[Dryish]

This certainly was worth waiting for, even though it killed my poor connection. So many big pictures and videos to load. But compilations are always nice, so I'm not complaining. Kudos to all staff members, it has been amazing. My hat's off to you.

@Kitsune:

Excellent work all around (I'd say this tops the musical!)

Probably. At least this wasn't as big a hassle as our little show was. That chaos still gives me the creeps.
