Contest Winner, or "Nine Entries Enter the Hat... One Comes Out"

A green hat. It's juuuust too small to be comfortable to wear, so I stick to my other hats. Have I mentioned I like hats? I have, like, 5.

Enough about hats. You want to see the winner, and I'm thrilled to say he's a recurring commenter not only here but also on The Family Business. :)

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you:

Viktor (aka Lamora)!


Grats to Viktor, and I hope to see a screenshot of you using it soon. :) You should have the code when you next check your email, along with instructions on how to implement it.

For anyone who gets their own loot card, I'll repeat those instructions here:
  1. Go to this page and enter the character you want to have the Tiger along with your promotion code.
  2. Write down or copy/paste the new code they give you.
  3. Log on to the character you chose to receive the item.
  4. Go to Booty Bay and find Landro Longshot on the docks.
  5. Make sure your bags have room.
  6. Select the appropriate choice to find your card name, then enter the code you wrote down or copied into the panel.
  7. The item will appear in your bags.
Congratulations. :)

Contest ended at midnight last night but I gave it until I woke up for people in very different timezones. I also forgot to call my dad for his birthday yesterday. O.o

Yay! Image from Viktor's blog.

See details of the contest here. ^-^

Contest, or "Who Wants to Win a Sandbox Tiger?"

Contest Open from March 27 - April 10

Set the toy down, hop on, and watch your character
wobble back and forth, arms in the air, for a great time!

How to Enter

Closed.

Email will be deactivated after the contest ends.

In your entry, describe how you would Role-Play your character.
  • You must include your character name (weird letters and all), server, and whether you are EU or US.
  • You may choose to describe one or more character, but additional characters will not earn extra entries into the raffle.
  • There is no minimum or maximum word count, but I think it's safe to say one sentence doesn't qualify as "honest effort" (see disqualifications section below).
  • Any entrant who makes the effort will be included in the raffle except where noted otherwise.
  • Tips for what you might cover in your entry: clothing choices, mount and pet choices, personality, history, quirks, appearance, interacting with others. These are not required, they are only suggestions to get you started.
  • Please feel free to include a copy of your entry in the comments if you want others to see it, but to join the raffle you must email your entry to the above address.
Disqualifications
  • Each entrant should make an honest attempt to meet the required criteria. I reserve the right to disqualify entries that fail.
  • I will not disqualify anyone for having a less than perfect entry -- writing skill and personal creativity will not be judged or penalized. If you make an effort, you'll get in the raffle whether or not your entry is the best.
  • My guild and family may enter for fun and giggles but their names will not be submitted to the final drawing for the prize.
Raffle & Notification

I will draw a name out of a hat. Literally.

The winner will receive an email notification with the Sandbox Tiger code as well as an announcement post here. The card itself will not change hands, just the code.

Contest Soon, or "Cute Loot 4 U"

This is just an announcement that I'll be having a contest with a (minor) TCG loot card within the next week or two. I've already bought the card, you don't get to know what it is yet, but you will when the contest post comes out. :)

Haven't decided on how you can enter, which is the first delay, and haven't received the loot card in the mail yet, which is the second.

I do have a few preliminary details worked out:

1) The winner will be drawn from a hat if they meet the to-be-decided entry criteria -- I won't choose based on quality of entries, just on whether my criteria is met. Otherwise, it'll be completely random.

2) My family and guild are not allowed to enter. Like family members in the McDonald's monopoly game, they can't join the fun because I don't want to even seem like I rigged the contest if one of them won. Also, if I wanted this raffle to go to my guild, I would have done it there and not here on my blog. So, sorry my snuggly ones, but I know you understand. <3
