| *I thought it was handled very well, though there should have been a slightly longwr line-of-succession for setting up the matches. Kind of a backup plan in case the organizers were out-of-commision. Would have averted the delays. | | *I thought it was handled very well, though there should have been a slightly longwr line-of-succession for setting up the matches.

| *1) Very fun and open event that involved the entire community. 2) Well organized, despite a few hiccups. 3) Attracted more people to the Wiki. | | *Get back to that. |
| *1) It was a pretty big distraction in the day or two following a new bracket's opening. 2) Some new users seem to have signed up just for TKW, one even going so far as to create sockpuppets. 3) The raging in the comments, though I don't think this was quite as big a problem as others seem to think. The flame wars were mostly isolated incidents toward the end of the event, but when they got big they got pretty darn big. | | *Get back to that. |
| *I really like Crono's second idea, which is the only thing I think could actually top the community-friendly nature of TKW; what better way to bring the community together than having them personally wish each other a Happy New Year?<!--couple of privacy issues come to mind, but it would be volutary--> A user popularity contest seems like it would do the opposite, glorifying individual users instead of the whole community. Anyway, we'll decide on that when the time comes. | | *Get back to that. |
| *Mmm... I didn't really have a problem with the way it was orgnized this time (I mean, haveing everyone in on it is like planning your own surprise party), but that was a bit of a fauz pas with the clash with the MA's Joint Struggle. The only way to improve it I can think of is kind of like the staff elections were held; Have thecommunity give ideas, and then let the organizers select from those. Preferably without numbered votes; just have the list of ideas and a normal comments section for feedback. That way it won't be instatly obvious what the community wants (i.e. SURPRISE!, the entire point of the event). Another failsafe against predictability could be that, like the elections, the organizers choose from the top, say three, most popular. | | *Mmm...

I'm also dissapointed that we drew so many new users that just voted here. None of these users did much work on the mainspace, and some filled up the RC with talk page edits. I agree to doing this again, but definitely not in 2011.}} | | {{Chitalian8|time=15:14, January 1, 2011 (UTC)|tidus= I agree with the rest, a very fun and well-handled event, and I'm satisfied with the turnout and the outcome.

| I am also a new user because of TKBW(i would edit the mainspace, but it will not let me on this account for some reason). It should have been explained better on how to vote, because me, and a couple of my cousins couldn't figure out how to vote, and Aqua won against Vanitas by only 3 votes, so if we had know how to vote then, it may have been a different outcome of TKBW.--[[User:Laurxafinal|Laurxafinal]] 18:23, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

| @17master: Tidus and Clayton had an exact tie, and I believe the winner was selected via randomizer.{{User:LapisScarab/Sig}}19:57, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

| {{Asif|text=I thought TKBW was a great idea- though it definitely should not be repeated next year. Wait- I just got an idea. The Keyblade War... with WIKI USERS! Like DTN vs. Lapis or something! (Just kidding. Mostly.)
| |
|
| |
| Anyway, the randomizer was great, the contestents were well-picked, and the art was GREAT! (I could do something like that too; just ask!) Yes, the "Mansex" and "AQUA=HAWT" votes were annoying, there was sockpuppeting (although it was very well-handled), and the flame wars did rage on (someone should make a template of Roxas/Ven/Aqua/whoever saying "SHUT UP!" whenever something like that happens lol), but overall it was a great success. I'm looking forward to what happens next year. As Ventus said, "Our best memories are still ahead." Here's to a great next year!}}

| {{The Inexistent|KRCCFNF='''Ima gonna keep my feedback short, okay? Yes, it honestly did distract from wikiwork, but I;m sure that it would be that way with any special event. And, I might well be wrong, as I wasn't here and/ or was princessing the whole time. I liked that no limit on comment length, but the longer newly registered anons made their messages, the more often they had/ made edit conflicts, which caused a lot of frustration. I can't really give you any feedback on the third thing, as I only contributed to a handful of rounds. What would I like to do for a year end event? Some kind of editing competition, although that would probably generate a lot of fluff edits... but still an idea. I also think that the community should have a bigger say in next years event. I'm sure if we all knew this was being planned, there would have been a strong say against because of ''The MIRAGE ARENA'', which was currently hosting the Joint Struggle. So, yeah. That's it. Sorry, I tried to keep it short.'''}}

| {{ErryTalk|time=03:25, January 3, 2011 (UTC)|saix=I found TKW fun but a bit dragging, like it was clinging a lot of users who only voted, not to mention the sockpuppeting, but no matter it was a great event, but a bit generic to me but that's just me. :P
| |
|
| |
| *'''Was The Keyblade War still in balance with actual wiki work; did it possibly distract from other issues, such as Wikia imposing Oasis on us?'''
| |
|
| |
| To me, not really I actually worked more than I voted because you only vote once per week. I dunno about the whole forum but I don't think it should be too distracting... except when sockpuppeting and etc. comes in.
| |
|
| |
| *'''Was not allowing anons and not having any rules on the comments okay?'''
| |
|
| |
| Yeah, they were okay rules.
| |
|
| |
| *'''How could a tournament akin to this one be improved if it was to be repeated?'''
| |
|
| |
| Hmm, I don't know really. I say add a larger selection, or count out the ones in the Final Sixteen.
| |
|
| |
| **How was the progression of the combatants?
| |
|
| |
| It was a bit slow at start, but it carried on well.
| |
|
| |
| **Were there notable issues you saw in the voting (besides the Aqua thing that I'm sure is just ''bound'' to be said)?
| |
|
| |
| No. To be honest, I could care less about votes, as long as people weren't socketpuppeting to get their "favorite" character to win.
| |
|
| |
| **What were some of your favorite things about TKW?
| |
|
| |
| It was very open, that is all.
| |
|
| |
| **What were some of your least favorite or disliked things about TKW?
| |
|
| |
| People who just joined for the sake of voting and sockpuppets... but enough about the sockpuppets. :P
| |
|
| |
| *'''What else would you enjoy doing for a year ending event?'''
| |
|
| |
| I don't know if it's possible but if we could have an event that had to do with the Multiplayer concept of BbS? I'm just saying this as a concept not an official idea... at least for now. But if we could use the Multiplayer system of BbS with a large group of users in the wiki and set an actual "Keyblade War". Lame, right? However the only problem with this is that it can't be done without a hacked PSP so maybe it won't happen. :/
| |
|
| |
| *'''How could the community have been more involved in planning this event that would have resulted in a better turnout and more users satisfied?'''
| |
|
| |
| Possibly by having the users choose their characters for battle and then it goes into a random selection and half go in and half don't make it in.
| |
|
| |
| That's all I have as of now.}}

| {{LightRoxas|card= I think the keyblade war was awesomely cool. I had already made an account before it started, and TKW actually increased my desire to go on, resulting in more time spent editing as well (see [[Gallery: Roxas]]). For another event, the only thing that comes to mind is doing a war of worlds, weapons, or various Heartless types. But yeah, a big "THANK YOU" to everyone who made this possible}}
| |
|
| |
| A great idea for next time would be something like the keyblade war, but with unversed, lesser nobodies, and heartless.--[[User:Laurxafinal|Laurxafinal]] 22:15, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

| The Keyblade War was awesome. Too bad I found out about Shadow's voice actor after Saïx lost, otherwise I would have said "CHAOS CONTROL!" in my votes for Saïx. I predicted that Aqua would win and she did. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] 02:28, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
