Raffles & Giveaways

[center][img]http://i.share.pho.to/99bb4fa0_o.jpeg[/img] [size=5][b][u]This giveaway is now finished! Final tickets will be recorded, and winners will be picked by 7/11![/size][/b][/u][size=2] Good day fellow Dragon Hell citizens! Welcome to my yearly birthday giveaway!! Long story short: In celebration of my birthday ( July 4th ) I will be giving out a whole bunch of stuff from [b]July 4th to July 8th's rollover.[/b] I am a huge sap, so the overarching purpose to it all is to encourage ~*~positivity~*~ in a community that I enjoy being a part of! ----- [size=2]If you've ever participated in one of my forum giveaways, you probably know that they are technically free raffles, but Birthday Giveaway is a little more succinct right? You also probably know that there are always multiple ways to receive tickets, so let's get straight into that! [img]http://i.share.pho.to/25764e1a_o.jpeg[/img] [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wpz51mGFRMNop8L5CbrVWCgiCrjSqqCGK9mUcMr4QCY/edit?usp=sharing]Ticket totals are tracked here[/url] I have to tally everything manually, so please be patient with me ;v; [quote] [left][b][u]1. Post on the thread! ( 5 tickets )[/u][left][/b] [center][size=2]You'll receive five tickets simply for your first post in the thread. Simple & easy, you could do nothing but this and still have a chance at winning something! [left][b][u]2. Be the first to post at an odd-number hour! ( 10 tickets each time )[/u][left][/b] [center][size=2]The first person to post a picture of a cute animal ( by your standards, I'm not here to judge ) at any odd-number hour ( Flight Rising time! ) will receive 10 tickets. This will remain true for all five days. That means [b]21:00, 23:00, 1:00, 3:00, etc.[/b] You can win this multiple times, but you must post a new cute animal each time to qualify X) [left][b][u]3. Just chat on the thread! ( 3 tickets at a time )[/u][left][/b] [center][size=2]If you're chatting about on the thread - and keeping things positive of course! - you might be rewarded a little bundle of three tickets now and then! Doesn't matter what you chat about, presuming it keeps to Flight Rising's rules. [left][b][u]4. Activities! ( Various ticket rewards ) - - Ask to be pinged![/u][left][/b] [center][size=2]Lastly, the best way to get tickets is to participate in the activities that will be hosted on this thread! Generally you can expect one or two little games to participate in every day. Winning these games will get you small prizes and tickets on their own, but simply participating will also net you a few tickets as well. I try to balance the themes of these activities around different facets of the FR community - so some may lean towards the artsy/writing/rp side of things, while others may be tests of observation/speed/teamwork, while others still may be completely random or not have specific 'winners'. So hopefully there will be something for everyone! The specific ticket rewards/prizes of every activity will be listed on a case-by-case basis. [b]If you'd like to be pinged when one of these activities is taking place, let me know![/b] Otherwise I will update the thread title anytime an activity has been announced.[/quote] [img]http://i.share.pho.to/aea80f28_o.jpeg[/img] [center][size=4][b][u]Activity #6[/b][/u] [item=breed change: nocturne][item=unhatched fire egg][item=vista:axolotl][item=primary gene: Piebald] [skin=12170][skin=12177][skin=13145][skin=13147] [item=diaphonous sylvan wings][item=Ferocious headdress][item=golden silk scarf][item=black wolf cape] Participation: 50 tickets [size=2]Here we are at last; The final activity of the thread. With that in mind, it will end with an activity true to the spirit of why I made it in the first place. Do not underestimate the effects of sowing positivity when and where you can. You never know when even the smallest gesture has the capacity to turn someone's entire day around; How the memory of someone's kindness might inspire the same thing in someone years later; The way that small creative endeavors can be turned into something grand, if there is even just one person cheering them on. No matter why, or where you are. Even doing it for your birthday on a silly little dragon browser game. [b]Your task for this activity is to say something positive about a person above you.[/b][/size] [b][size=5]Deadline: Tonight's rollover[/size][/b] [size=2][u]None of These are Actually Rules[/u] [quote][size=2]1. It is advised that you make a post to 'claim' the person directly above you, and then edit it accordingly. This way everyone is likely to be included. 2. The prizes include the items above, and multiple other valuable goodies ( including the 2 remaining copies of Lore Keeper ). They will be rewarded entirely off RNG, there is no judging on the 'quality' of your compliment. Think of the positive comment you make for somebody as a raffle ticket. 3. Your message does not need to be - and is really not expected to be - anything extremely personal. You can compliment a person's dragon(s) or apparel choices, their user bio, their signature, their ability to catch odd-hour post really well. Anything. 4. In related interest to #1, I'd appreciate it if people could make an effort to offer a kind message for any who show up during slower times. Even if you've already made your actual entry, it would be nice not to leave anybody behind.[/quote] [size=2]Now, I am heading out on a short trip until tomorrow night, which means the next time I'm here, the giveaway will already be over, and it will be time for me to finish recording tickets and pick the winners! So on that note, one final...hmm, [i]guideline[/i] for general purposes: [b]5. Have a good day, Flight Rising.[/b]

[center][size=2][img]http://i.share.pho.to/bb0a0a50_o.jpeg[/img] Now, for the general prizes! This year I decided to theme the prizes of my giveaway around personal favorites. Breeds, aesthetics, etc. As such, there are more prizes than my previous birthday shenanigans! At the end of the raffle, I will pick names using a random number generator. The first person pulled will be allowed to pick whichever bundle they want. The second person will then be allowed to pick from the remaining, etc. etc. [b][u]Monthly [s]soul crushing grindfest[/s] Celebrations![/b][/u] ( Favorite Festival Apparel ) Windbound Plumage x 1 | Moonglow Thorns x 1 | Will o'the Ember x 1 | Butterfly Kiss x 1 | Solar Blades x 1 [quote][item=Windbound Plumage][item=Moonglow Thorns][item=Will o' the Ember][item=Butterfly's Kiss][item=Solar Blades][/quote] [size=2][b][u]Everybody Loves Peregrine[/b][/u] ( Favorite Genes set #1 ) Petals x 1 | Peregrine x 1 | Okapi x 1 [quote][item=Primary Gene: Petals][item=Secondary Gene: Peregrine][item=tertiary gene: Okapi][/quote] [size=2][b][u]I Will Fight to Defend Thylacine's Honor[/b][/u] ( Favorite Genes set #2 ) Cherub x 1 | Facet x 1 | Thylacine x 1 [quote][item=Primary Gene: Cherub][item=Secondary Gene: Facet][item=Tertiary Gene: Thylacine][/quote] [size=2][b][u]Too Spoopy[/b][/u] ( Ghostlight Ruins Aesthetic ) Shadow Sprite x 1 | Disoriented Spirit x 1 | Shadow Egg x 1 | Light Egg x 1 | Ghostlight Ruins Vista x1 | A venue familiar x 3 | Stack of a venue trinket x 3 [quote][item=shadow sprite][item=Disoriented Spirit][item=unhatched shadow egg][item=unhatched light egg] [item=vista: Ghostlight Ruins][item=aer phantom][item=Sharpened Scythe][/quote] [size=2][b][u]Tango with the Tengu[/b][/u] ( Bamboo Falls Aesthetic ) Wind Sprite x 1 | Wind egg x 1 | Water egg x 1 | Bamboo Falls Vista x 1 | Every venue familiar x 1 | Stack of venue materials x 3 [quote][item=wind sprite][item=unhatched wind egg][item=unhatched water egg][item=vista: Bamboo Falls] [item=mantled foo][item=wispy foxtail][/quote] [size=2][b][u]Wildclaws are capital G Great[/u][/b] ( I just really like Wildclaws ) Wildclaw scroll x 1 | | Accent: Unghia Del Piede | Accent: Ember's glow | Accent: Blown Sands | Accent: Rose Gold | Accent: Galaxyfall | Accent: Bursting Heart WC F | Accent: Bursting Heart WC M | Accent: Ombre Luster | Skin: Lore Keeper [quote][size=2]One of the four copies of this skincent, available only through this thread: [img]http://i.share.pho.to/0b7e7425_o.png[/img] [item=breed change: Wildclaw][skin=4999][skin=9544][skin=10090][skin=12262][skin=12664][skin=14038][skin=14040][skin=14739][/quote] [size=2][b][u]You Can't Spell Nice Without Ice[/b][/u] ( General Ice aesthetic ) Frigid Fugitive Shackles x 1| Ice Sprite x 1 | Enchanter's Tatters set x 1 | Boreal Woods Vista x 1 | Winter Wolf Cape x 1 | Winter Wind x 1 | Chillspike Crown x 1 | Cragward Custodian x 1 [quote][item=Frigid Fugitive Shackles][item=Ice Sprite][item=Enchanter's Tatters][item=Vista: Boreal Wood] [item=Winter Wolf Cape][item=Winter Wind][item=Chillspike Crown][item=Cragward Custodian][/quote] [size=2][b][u]Silky Soft[/b][/u] ( Silk Apparel ) One of every silk apparel pieces.
