Hi and welcome to all members

My friends and I have had the Countdown To Christmas (CTC) Giveaway for the past 2 years and each year, it was a huge success. Last year alone, we gifted over 10,000 creatures during the giveaway. For the CTC Giveaway last year, we started to collect creatures from June/ July, but even with such a head start, we felt we started a bit too late. So this year, we thought we would collect creatures from now on, so that we can have a bigger and better giveaway than last year.

The reason we decided to start this guild is because there are members who like to donate creatures, do some graphics (signature sets and banners) and egg sitting for the CTC Giveaway, as they did last year. So from now on, till 30th November 2012, we decided to keep this guild open to any member, to contribute towards the giveaway in any way they wish to.

As of now, the gifters are decided, so the gifter spots are already full.

The gifters:
1. Taliesen
2. Imperialism
3. NyxNoire
4. Enchanteddil
5. NellaFantasia
6. CellaFane
7. aethelwhyne
8. Zunami/ Mcath (will confirm closer to the giveaway, due to RL situation).

Graphics:
All the graphic will be done by Silflame - except the banners and signature sets.

The types of creatures that are accepted for the giveaway:
- Streamborns (not bred)
- Shop Borns & 1st generation Shop Borns
- 1st generation Hybrids or lowest generation
- 1st generation Quest Borns
- Event creatures & 1st generation event creatures (Jackalopes, Lucinis Bird etc)
- 1st & 2nd generation Gift Borns
- Pond Koi

We are not accepting:
- Long generation, inbred, named, lineaged creatures
- Gold donations, as we prefer creature donations

How members can help with the giveaway:
- Creature donations
- Egg sitting (only ones we catch/ buy/ breed for the CTC Giveaway, not our personal ones)
- Volunteer to make banners/ userbars/ signature sets for the CTC Giveaway
- Volunteer to make banners/ userbars to promote this thread

Obligatory post to make this thread easier to find.
Like I told Dil in a PM, I'd be interested in gathering various critters for the giveaway this year, instead of mooching off. xD
I'll probably quietly gather things for some months and will send them in large-ish amounts. xD

Quick question - are hatchling donations preferred to adults, or is it just Dil's preference?

Hey there Niv

The donated creatures can be in hatchling or adult form, no problem at all. For the CTC Giveaway, I accept adults as well (we all do). It's for my birthday giveaway that I am obsessed with collecting hatchlings

Collecting for some months and sending large-ish amounts is fine, thank you so very much Niv

Thank you so much for offering to help.

We'll happily accept both adults and hatchlings, personally I prefer hatchlings, which also makes it easier for our helpers.

The Giveaway was such a success last year that we ended up still buying, catching and hatching critters left and right throughout December. So a headstart is a very good thing.

I ordered 100 Ibex, 100 Gryphons (all 4 kinds), 100 Red Talvar and put in an order for 100 Amphistas as well. I really am sitting on my fingers not to blast the rest of my gold on the quicksale. I have stuff to buy for the giveaway in July

So there won't be any lineage giveaway this time around? That was fun, but I can see how that must have been a lot of work to put together and manage. Well, I'll definitely still be able to breed plenty of nice things to donate.

The thing is, some of the people who were gifted with lineages froze/ released some offspring. Even though it was very popular, we thought of not doing it, unless it is our own lineages that we are offering (if we do). We really do not want members to offer their lineages so generously, only to upset them

Thanks Mathcat
