Got a question. Does it makes any sence for me to feed more?I wouldn't get second place even if I fed all those two days which left.

@kiryko You tell me! You do prove a point on that, though. 😋

@karamel
Ey Kara~
It's not too late right? xD
Still have like... less than 4 hours to go x3
I would like to submit my art entry for the second contest, please! 😸
I promised to participate, so x3
And mhmm, I swear it could have been better xD I didn't have enough time to color it D;
So it's pretty difficult to realize all the horses and stuffs.
But I hope you like my creativity for combining all of them together (?!) xD
Lol, I'm making rants now, here's my work~

[moved to PM]

I hope you like it!~

HAPPY NEW YEAR... [again] xD

karamel • 18 January 2014 at 8:19 AM

@sony It's not too late at all. 😉 The contest ends at midday ECT (or 5p.m. GMT--my time), so under four hours to go. Do message me your entry so I can respond individually and privately. c:

Results of the contests will be posted and prizes will be given out at midday ECT today, so there's still time for last-minute feeding and entries! 😃

Updated~ c:

Added in a runner up prize for both sections. ❤️

Apologies on the delay~! Nevertheless, results are in and the contest has ended. Here they are:

Second section (since they need to be pinged):

Gold prize / first place: @kiryko (with their witty and creative story that gave me a few chuckles) -- prizes claimed (and CC reserved)
Silver prize / second place: @jemmie (with their reminiscent and lovely account of each month in 2013) -- prizes claimed
Bronze prize / third place: @wererage (with their touching mini-story accompanied by some beautiful artwork) -- prizes claimed
Runner up: @sony (with their fabulous and evidently detailed artwork) -- prizes claimed

Prizes:

Everyone (including prize-winners): A travel of your choice on a first come, first served basis (after the prizewinners have chosen).
Gold prize / first place: 1,002,014 EC + 250 CC + another travel of your choice + a name from my 'Names' list
Silver prize / second place: 502,014 EC + a SAR creature + another travel of your choice + a name from my 'Names' list
Bronze prize / third place: 252,014 EC + another travel of your choice
Runner up: 202,014 EC + another travel of your choice

All the entrants can choose whether they'd like to share their wonderful art or writing--if they do want to share, I'll add them into the first post. c:
It was actually pretty hard to choose which one was the 'best', because they were all the best in different ways. And I mean that, so thank you to all the entrants for their effort and terrific submissions! ❤️

First section:

Gold prize / first place: @kollais - 12553 points -- prizes claimed
Silver prize / second place: @wererage - 10032 points -- prizes claimed
Bronze prize / third place: @kiryko - 9637 points -- prizes claimed
Runner up: @emo_pattys - 7491 points -- prizes claimed
All other users:
@life -- prize claimed
@lunacharm1037 -- prize claimed
@kuma
@hipsterism
@cookiemonster -- prize claimed

Prizes:

Everyone (including prize-winners): A travel of your choice on a first come, first served basis (after the prizewinners have chosen).
Gold prize / first place: 1,002,014 EC + 500 CC + another travel of your choice + a name from my 'Names' list
Silver prize / second place: 502,014 EC + a SAR creature + another travel of your choice + a name from my 'Names' list
Bronze prize / third place: 252,014 EC + another travel of your choice
Runner up prize: 202,014 EC + another travel of your choice

You guys know that one point = one creature, right? So that means kollais fed a whopping 12,553 creatures in 31 days, and there was a total of 48,192 feeds in this contest. That's approximately 4,819,200 EC (if you exclude double/triple feed day)! *applause* 😃

More information on prizes (for both sections):

List of travels: http://textsnip.com/6hvrvh

All prize winners, please make some junk trade lots and ping/message/wall post me with them so I can offer the EC. Also, please make sure you let me know what travel you'd like.

Gold and silver prize winners, please let me know what names you'd like from my 'Names' list.

Gold prize winners, ping or PM me to let me know what you'd like me to buy with the CC (or whether you'd like me to hold on to it for a little longer before you choose what you want).

Silver prize winners, do make sure to tell me what SAR creature you'd like. c:

If you happen to win, you have the right to decline any of your prizes and they will go to the person who got the next most points (in addition to any prize[s] they have already received).

Priority goes to the gold winner, then the silver, then bronze, then everyone else. "Everyone else" cannot choose their prize (i.e. their travel) until the prize-winners have selected their prizes.

In the event of a prize-winner not responding within a week of winning, the person with the next most points will get the prize (in addition to any prize[s] they have already received). For example, if the Gold winner does not respond in a week, the Silver winner is able to claim the Gold prize in addition to their Silver prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated! *hugs all* I genuinely enjoyed running this contest and especially enjoyed reading/seeing the amazing and creative works. ❤️
