Posted January 12, 2014 Lol wow really? That person must have some seriously good luck!! Right? If that happened to me, I would just die. I'm honestly not even sure I'd be able to keep it - I'd probably let my younger brother have it. The odds are pretty wonky, I think. There are three people who play DC in my family and no wins. Though, I believe strongly that every time someone doesn't win, their chance of winning rises. Even if that's illogical, I still think it can't hurt to feel that way. :> Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Nobody won twice. One of the tinsel winners arranged a trade for a Holly. In a process of bumping up prizes that Holly turned out to be a Shimmer. End of story. Edited January 12, 2014 by PointOfOrigin Share this post Link to post

Posted January 12, 2014 Congratulations to all of the winners! The event was fun, thank you TJ for making it happen, as well as everyone else who was involved I do wonder how many players DC has right now though? Share this post Link to post

Posted January 12, 2014 Congratulations to all of the winners! The event was fun, thank you TJ for making it happen, as well as everyone else who was involved I do wonder how many players DC has right now though? Active or inactive? There's certainly a difference in those numbers. D: Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 I won this year...So excited Shimmers are gorgeous, and now one will be mine. Congrats! You might want to read this guide for advice on managing prize dragons. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 Active or inactive? There's certainly a difference in those numbers. D: Congratulation to all winners! No price for me I'am hopefully waiting for next year or if someone like to surprise me with a 2nd gen. ^^ There are a lot of prices and I thougt 150 winners are great. But over 500 very active members, who try to get a 2nd gendered Price-Dragon by sending messages, are much more impressive. Yes, now we are nearly a thousand really active players and thousends of listed members are waiting for news. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 12, 2014 Thank-you, TJ and all the artists who worked so hard to create such a lovely creative event. I am glad I did not win as I would not want to deal with all the notoriety and hassle that comes with it. Not worth it to me since I just like to play the game, not the politics. Congratulations to the winners, both of the Raffle and those who enjoyed the event for its own sake. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 12, 2014 Just thought it would be interesting to look at the stats from the 2010 Contest from TJ's result post in January of 2011: 2,292,711 votes submitted 1,289,799 ornaments given out 24035 trees decorated 8275 trees submitted 18,004 "10's" Average Vote: 3.74 Highest Tree Score: 6.23 Each tree received at least 277 votes That means there were at least 24,035 active members during the course of the 2010 contest. The Submission process was a little unclear to some players, and others simply couldn't get back on in time to submit their trees which is the difference between the 24,000 trees and the 8,275 that were finally submitted. The confusion resulted in the raffle that has been in use for the 2011, 2012 and 2013 contests, each with a larger player base than the previous year. The site has grown considerably since then, although TJ has not put out stats on the later raffles, or if he did, I've missed them. :-) Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 I tried to search this but no luck so... If you get chosen when the raffles are redrawn(If people don't reply to the email), Can you only receive a HM or can you receive an actual Prize Dragon? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 12, 2014 Congrats to the winners!! It was a GREAT holiday event. Thank you to all involved Share this post Link to post

Someone not responding means that everyone who won already gets bumped up. Unless there are MANY people who don't respond, you are not going to be bumped up enough to be eligible for a prize dragon; the most you can get is the HM. Hope this helps. ^.^ <3 Share this post Link to post

More than 30 people would have to not respond for someone to have a chance at a Bronze prize (assuming all HM winners choose to accept a higher value prize). It could happen, but I doubt it's worth holding breath over! @Alex Chessmaster: Because it costs nothing to be polite? And a great stoke of luck is worth congratulating?
