Super Creature Giveaway (Common Names, CSPs, and LEs)

metaphor • 17 July 2021 at 2:50 AM

So I hope I'm doing this right. If not, mods, please correct me.

But basically, I haven't been around much, probably won't be around much, and wanted to give some of my names/creatures away that will likely be rotting on my account for all eternity since they're immortal. Now, I'm not giving all away. Some I am very attach to for sentimental reasons (I've been here for over 10 years, and a lot has happened in that time, with many of my creatures associated with personal things. Probably won't be giving away my animal names either, or at least most of them. Honestly, most of the creatures that mean the most to me are some super common ones with great names, with a few exceptions). Some were gifts from other users and I wouldn't feel right giving them away. I will also likely do this in batches. I'm start with 20 creatures in the summer (now) and then will come back with more a couple months later and so on. Not promising anything or setting a specific deadline, but that's likely how this will go down.

Here's how I want to do this:

1. I'll list the 20 creatures I'm giving away, name and creature. These are probably the ones I'm least attached to, to be honest, not that that matters. Names aren't as good as some of the others, but many are old CSPs.
2. Users should choose up to 5 they'd be interested in. If you want, share a favorite Egg Cave memory, but this isn't that kind of contest. I'm gonna make this random to keep it fair.
3. For each creature, I'll pick a random number 1 through however many people want said creature. Whoever is assigned to the number selected will get the creature. Numbers will be assigned in the order people post with the creatures that interest them. I'll keep track here for the sake of transparency.
4. Again, please limit yourself to 5 to make it fair to everyone.
5. Finally, if you are selected for one of my creatures, I really don't care what you do with it. You can enter with the sole intention of trading for all I care. You can take its name and put it on another creature and then trade the won creature––or vice versa. If they're frozen, I don't care if you unfreeze them, and vice versa. It's yours to do with as you please.

Contest will close at the end of the month so that I can choose winners on August 1st.

Here are the creatures up this round:

1. BeHereNow the Korakara
2. Chuckles the Morkhir
3. Ebb the Kampos (Frozen, Second Stage)
4. Empathy the Ott (Frozen, Hatched Stage)

Awww Metaphor. I'm sad (but respectful) you have reached this conclusion. I'm not sure if we ever interacted at all, but you have such a beautiful cove and it was a comfort to know it would probably remain so since you have been around for so long. I always liked stumbling across it.

That being said... *goes to read the rest of the msg*

Thank you so much for putting a limit on this! Those that don't seem like pure chaos ensues.

Chuckles the Morkhir
Empathy the Ott
Dial the Ornisment
Romp the Innu
Worse the Hoddel
Holdan the Roarnt
Nectarine the Stegga
(just adding the struck out ones for my own records. Going with 4 bc I can't decide btwn the next two.)
(Edit: May I add a 5th later on if I change my mind, or would it mess up the whole order of things?)

Not so much a specific memory, but lots of little things. The constant generosity of people. Sure, sometimes it's the giving of creatures or discounts, but I mean more themselves. Their hearts, sharing bits of their lives and the conversations. The way People on eggcave are more 'you do you' in the most open and welcoming way than I've seen in any other community.

~

And thank you @metaphor for being so generous with your animals and time.
(I'm in tears though as I'm wrapping this up. It's hard seeing you break up your cove. ❤️ )

@lexicon I agree about Empathy's name. It's the perfect fit for the creature in that phase. I like the later two phases as a pair, but that one is a perfect match if I ever seen one. ❤️

@metaphor Heya, thanks so much for hosting this awesome giveaway ❤️ My favorite memory I think might be the entire CSP re-release, because of what a gamechanger it was for people finally achieving their dreamies.

I'd love to enter for the following if I'm not too late, love these name/creature combos in particular:

- Fetch the Moue
- Holdan the Roarnt
- Ida the Manticore
- Seaborn the Ophirum
- Dial the Ornisment

megamisama90 • 22 July 2021 at 12:30 PM

@metaphor
I'm sad to see you go. We never interacted, I think? But I remember seeing you around a lot. Be well in real life 😊

Favorite memory from here is meeting wonderful people who made me more open and not so shy talking with strangers, turning to friends ^^ and also getting my dream creature, Encalop ❤️ Forever thankful for that ❤️

I'd like to try my luck with these 😊

Favorite moments.. I guess that when I gift or someone gifts me a creature. Taking out another pet from your WL is always sweet and more when someone makes that act of kindness.. I'll be opening an adoption center like the bunch there used to be on November to celebrate one year of being back on the site... I just want to see smiles all around.

I would like to be listed for(if possible):

Seeing as I’ve only been here for a few days, I don’t have many memories, but I felt really happy when I met some very kind people on the introductions forum.
