Posted February 7, 2015 I got the email today saying I won! After five years!!!! My prize code is "Fifth" for the fifth contest/raffle I've participated in. So, without further ado, here is Fifth! I just made this forum account today so that I could start trading/gifting -- never had a reason to before (certainly did lurk a lot, though). I'm super excited to be a prize winner, finally! Congrats to the other winners, and best of luck to everyone else in future redraws AND raffles. Share this post Link to post

Posted February 7, 2015 So imagine my surprise when I saw I was drawn as one of the alternate winners for third place. Amity the Bronze Tinsel is currently quietly hidden while I decide what I want to do with it (what influence and what mate, mostly) but I figured I'd let people know I'm one of the new owners.

Posted February 7, 2015 Droog grew up! 8> Unfortunately no egg from the first breeding, but hopefully that'll change. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Also since I missed the question, yes, I made badges for a few people, and I also used GIMP because I'm poor haha. Although be careful with downloading it, apparently it had issues a few weeks ago with some sort of malware tagging along. I'm pretty sure it's safe by now, though. Oh well... at least I can hopefully bargain for some 2nd gens. And who knows, maybe my Halloween dragon I'm working on will be accepted this year and I can have a spriter alt...

Posted February 7, 2015 Wow, that's prompt. Also, congratulations on winning and picking a spectacular code! Who wrote/animated/played your favorite Joker? Thank you. :3 I've enjoyed pretty much every interpretation of the Joker that's out there, but if I had to choose one? Mark Hamill. I grew up on the animated series and I have no trouble at all hearing his voice in my head whenever I read the character in comic form. That voice is just iconic. Love the Arkham games too. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Jared Leto does with the character in the new DC movieverse too. I've been a fan of Leto's acting/music for years - I was SO thrilled to hear he landed the role! Ledger was amazing and nobody can ever replace him, but given a different interpretation, I think Leto will do him justice. Comic-wise, I'm a huge fan of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the current writer/artist team on the main Batman title. I loved "Death of the Family" and the sequel ("Endgame") they're doing right now with Joker is just insane (in a good way). Also anything by Grant Morrison ("Arkham Asylum", "Batman R.I.P.") and of course, "The Killing Joke" by Moore and Bolland. All highly recommended. Anyway, I could talk Joker all day but I'll stop now. heh I'm glad to see the other redraw winners are receiving their prizes too. Congrats again everyone! Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Congrats to all the new winners. Hope you have better luck with your influences than I did. *glares at Jinkx* If anyone with art skills would consider making me a banner for him, I'd be forever grateful. Now I just have to decide whether or not to try and breed him now, or wait until Sunday. (He probably doesn't deserve to do anything besides be a donor right away.) Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 I saw an email this afternoon that I was one of the winners. It's the first time I've ever won a raffle in my life T_T (it looks like I was a back-up winner but it still counts!) My computer's hard drive died during the Christmas event so I pretty much gave up on winning with my 3 pitiable entries. I was looking through my email when I noticed it in my junk mail I've got a bronze egg and I have no idea what to breed it with. I don't really pay attention to my breeding habits so my scroll is too full of inbreeds and weird lineages Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Wooo, James grew up, and gifted me with a shiny complete with awesome code: JrGUY. The mate will probably get a rename to an older/better known Bond Girl (the current name is from the upcoming SPECTRE) Also, the question was asked a while a go, but I've been making people badges with photoshop CS4. I also quite like FireAlpaca; it's far simpler, and also free. - I found GIMP to buggy and difficult on my mac. Share this post Link to post

I've decided to wait to breed Jinkx on Sunday. That way I can keep one offspring, and hopefully share them with others in the AP. Going by Bond films, the mate really should be Honey Ryder, no?

Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know how many entries there were in the raffle? I really have no idea what gender I want to influence Fifth, or what to breed Fifth to. This is very overwhelming! (But also exciting!) Edited February 7, 2015 by Science Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Fairy will grow up too late to breed her before Val day, if I want to breed her on my b-day (Feb 13th) So I am going to wait till my b-day to breed to to one of my Radiant Angels. Be on the lookout for super awesome Rei Birthday, Fairy x Radiant Angel babies in the AP! (Totally gonna keep my b-day Angel <3) Share this post Link to post

That... shiny on the first breeding, the code is absolutely PERFECT (even the caps) - because he'll be a guy, and he's junior, and on top of that he's the firstborn. I just... wow. I hope I have that kind of insane luck (although I probably used that luck summoning a GoN on the same day as my Tinsel - hoping they don't refuse. Share this post Link to post

Actually, Honey Rider/Ryder is Dr. No; Licence to Kill would be Lupe Lamora. Which actually is a good idea for his first mate *runs to change names* Also, on checking the facts I discovered that there is a Wikipedia page devoted to the White Bikini of Ursula Andress (ie the actress who played Honey). Which is irrelevant but hilarious. Share this post Link to post

But if James is being played by Timothy Dalton, then obviously not. I love the name Lupe Lamora. Go for it! LOL about a page for the Bikini. Of course, there used to be an entire website devoted to David Bowie's 'area', so I shouldn't be shocked. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 lol... The things you learn I would love to get the name Heavy for Metal's mate, but pretty much anything such as that is taken. So, looking at two words I reserved One Heavy on a purple nebula :3 Also very tempted to try bands. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Darn it Ragna, you didn't give me anything this week... hope you don't turn out to be stubborn >.> Ah well, I still love him =p Glad to see everyone else's successes though! Share this post Link to post

Posted February 7, 2015 Little Lunio not only gendered correctly, but also successfully bred with his first mate! Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 I got my first baby Zuko tinsel! From a thunder mate. A fun all-caps code, too! Kuni means "country" in Japanese. Since the Fire Nation is more based on Asian culture, I find it especially appropriate. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Lady Raphy gave me a fail because she knows I love stripes. At least she likes her main mate. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 7, 2015 Nice to see people getting successful on their first tries. It seems to me prize breeding ratios have gone up. I hope I get a shiny on my first try (I'll probably fall in to the temptation to breed with a Brute for the first time and have a 0% chance of a shiny ) Share this post Link to post
