The Holly Contest

[Pteprocks]

I would also be happy to help verify BBWs.  I enjoy tedious work and I have extra time on my hands.

I would say go ahead and do that 'cause we should get the list of Holly winners ready ASAP.

 

Edit to remove double post:

 

Verified Rare_Hunter21's BBWs with no discrepancies-- their final count is indeed 746.

 

Verified Kukuru's BBWs with no discrepancies-- their final count is indeed 601.

 

Verified TheLittlePurpleDragon's BBWs with no discrepancies-- their final count is indeed 577.

 

That's all for now, I'll see if I can squeeze some more in later.

The (probably) final total number of BBWs 596!

 

They are listed on this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxCDEPR0F30Lcmo3U2JRdmFQR0E

 

Some of them are still eggs and unfrozen hatchies, but there's plenty of time for them to grow up before the deadline and I'll only have sporadic internet access over the next few weeks so that's why I'm posting it now.

I have three more BBWs to add, making my total 599

Also, breed all my metallics and got one not-great-but-not-too-messy linaged silver here: http://dragcave.net/lineage/kM8Jt for a runner up prize

[Pteprocks]

EDIT:

 

sciencegeek had one more BBW than previously specified, and their total is therefore 518.

 

Verified sunsteps88's BBWs with no discrepancies-- their total is indeed 572.

 

aiyouxian had eighteen more BBWs than previously specified, and their total is therefore 686.

 

That's all for tonight.

Coltzen, we cannot use the google document for verification because your scroll name is not showing on the dragon's view page.

 

I have to check your scroll for the extras. but I'm sure I already counted them this morning. I'll double check again to make sure.

 

EDIT: checked Keekeecat! I was going down the list of people on the first page, if anyone was wondering how I was doing it. All the scrolls I have checked/others have checked are in the Google document. Scrolls currently being checked should be posted above me. Now I'm off to bed. I have work in the morning.

 

EDIT 2: Thank you so much for helping with the counting guys! Thank you coltzen for the update.

EDIT: checking Kanaye...

I've fixed it so my scollname's on my dragons pages now.

 

The extra three doesn't actually change the rankings so feel free to ignore them I just wanted to make it feel complete

Now checking sunsteps88.

Really? Fantastic!

[Limn]

Well simkim, we've both been verified, we are indeed tied, which is still cool thought it seems to pose a problem.

 

For one of you who entered and are still around but didn't make it to a Holly, I offer this Beautys next child to this thread. =/ though it may take awhile, metallics are choosy on when to have another child.

May I know how to quailfy for your offered of the future eggie?

[xeyla]

I'm PM'ing the members on the first page who wanted to be entered, if I cannot get to their scrolls.

 

Mordeth is one of them. They have a Google Document, but I cannot copy or highlight the codes they have listed there, so I asked for access to their scroll to check the BBWs. Their scroll is hidden.

[GokaiPink]

Please remove my name from the front page and good luck to everyone.

[simkim]

Nay, we just share the same place!

[Wiz]

How long until we have winners? I'm not trying to rush anyone just curious.

[TheLittlePurpleDragon]

I can add This Little Guy as a runnerup prize. I don't know how long the teleport link will be active, but if I lose this one, I can offer another 2gen holiday pairing TBD.

[sciencegeek]

So...has anyone else been on the AP and almost picked up a BBW, then remembered the contest was over?

We are in the process of counting everything. I'll have some time to do more tomorrow when I get home from work. As it is right now, the forums are so slow that I am getting errors from clicking through pages.

YES!!!!!!! You are not alone in the trigger-BBW clicking reflex. I was doing it all day yesterday and today.

[Limn]

Admitedly I have been tempted too, I keep looking at those BBW eggs feeling like I should be taking them for my army.

[simkim]

I withdraw from the contest - I won a lotto with a beautiful lineage so I feel like I'm on Cloud Nine.

 

If any of youses that don't have a holly to claim when verification is over - poke me, I have very nice xmassy dragons and other very nice lineages. (No hollies, tho.)

 

Tinsels aren't breeding well, neither are metals, so those are iffy but if you want something, I am willing to put you on a list and hope for the best.

 

That will be what my runnerup prizes consist of. Includes that cb Tri-Horn egg.

 

I reserve the right to say nay to something and have you choose something else.

 

I want everyone who participated in the contest to at least feel like they won something, if if it wasn't a holly.

Same here, a whole year picking anything but BBW's left some habit

[xeyla]

Has anyone else verified any scrolls before I continue checking? I don't want to do double work when it is not necessary.

[Limn]

Congratuations SImkim!~

[Pteprocks]

I haven't-- and likely won't tonight. My connection is being rather sketchy.

[coltzen]

Am I allowed to help count, being a competitor?

[xeyla]

As of right now, any help will be appreciated. We are running late with the numbers, and I want the winners to be able to have their holly hatched before the Xmas dragon drops. That gives us one more day to count and divy-up the hollies to the winners.

 

Can we please have some more helpers? I feel we can be fair in the true counts being posted.

 

Currently checking: Tivuli, Done:105 BBWs, then going to bed.

[celis]

Velvet Paw - has 102 BBWs that count for this year.

Scroll link: http://dragcave.net/user/n/Velvet_paw/1

 

 

SilverMoonRain - Can't verify because her scroll name is not showing on the dragon's view page for what was originally posted, so I can't see what else is on her scroll. I will assume that she only has the original 11 posted on the first page.

 

Sanderj - has 175 BBWs that count for this year.

Scroll Link: http://dragcave.net/user/n/sanderj/5

 

 

 

xeyla,

 

Do you want us to update your google document, or just post here?

 

 

I'll work on some more (if there are any) tomorrow when I get out of work - since I actually have saturday off and can stay up to so.
