Posted January 17, 2015 I feel like the only one who doesn't have their email account open.. Oh, my email account is open, but it would be anyway raffle or no because of work etc. I just have a look periodically to see what's in there. I'm actually rather more concerned that I haven't heard back about delivery of the dishwasher I ordered for my mum; that's more crucial imo 'cos it's a real thing that cost actual money, rather than a free pixel dragon I'm not going to get anyway! *pokes inbox and John Lewis with a stick* Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 Just gonna throw out a few numbers here. Honorable mentions excluded- only metallic prizes are being counted. 2010 CB Prize Distribution (Tree Contest): 30 prizes (all tinsels). First year of prizes. 2011 CB Prize Distribution (Holiday Raffle): 30 prizes (all tinsels). Same amount as last year. 60 total CB prizes site-wide (excluding Penk). 2012 CB Prize Distribution (Holiday Raffle): 60 prizes (all shimmerscales). Release of shimmerscales. 200% as many prizes as previous years, putting shimmerscales equal in numbers to tinsels. 120 total CB prizes site-wide (excluding Penk and Jewel). 2013 CB Prize Distribution (Holiday Raffle): 120 prizes (60 tinsels and 60 shimmerscales). First year with both types of prizes. 400% as many prizes as the first two years of prizes (2010 and 2011). 200% as many as the previous year of prizes (2012). 240 total CB prizes site-wide (excluding Penk and Jewel). 2014 CB Prize Distribution (Holiday Raffle, ongoing): 600 prizes (300 tinsels and 300 shimmerscales). 2000% as many prizes (twenty times as many) as the first two years of prizes (2010 and 2011). 1000% as many (ten times as many) prizes as the third year of prizes (2012). 500% as many (five times as many) prizes as the previous year of prizes (2013). This will make 840 total CB prizes site-wide (excluding Penk and Jewel). 2014 numbers subject to change if TJ changes anything. Just thought it'd be interesting to put these all up together with the percentage and everything (tell me if I did anything wrong, I'm half-asleep). The amounts have changed a lot over the years, presumably as the site continues to grow and all. Thank you! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I just realized my DC email was connected to a very old - not working mail o.O I changed that in a jiffy. Share this post Link to post

That said, I'd be lying if I said the raffle hasn't been on my mind much... Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 If I don't win, I hope people would have enough prizes for me to finally get a second gen Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I feel like the only one who doesn't have their email account open.. Oh, my friend, you are not the only one =P I feel that I'll feel sad if I don't see an email while it's open and then the "update: winners have been notified" pops up (however it will come up ). The custom code would seriously be my favorite part of getting a prize. The POSSIBILITIES! D: I relate to this, though it's not completely my FAVORITE part (I think all of it might be my favorite. If I get one. ) =P A prize dragon seems to feel all the more special with an awesome code O-Or am I wrong about that feeling? //OTL EDIT: If I don't win, I hope people would have enough prizes for me to finally get a second gen I'm in the same boat; I've never gotten a second- or third-gen prize ^^; Edited January 17, 2015 by Kira-san Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I bet TJ's having a good laugh at us getting so excited. I bet so too. I personally think he is sitting on those emails and just enjoying the show all of us are putting on. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I would like to say that it'd be nice to get one... but I don't think I've done much to merit such an amazing gift out of random gifting. '^^ Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I bet so too. I personally think he is sitting on those emails and just enjoying the show all of us are putting on. I hope not. Still, you've gotta wonder how hard it actually is to collect 600 email addresses and send out 6 mass emails (one for each level of prize) since I doubt he sends out 600 individual emails, that would be exhausting. Still, really hope they go out soon. At least it should be before the weekend's over... right? I'm in the same boat; I've never gotten a second- or third-gen prize ^^; Same here, closest thing I have is a 2G prizefail I fished out of the AP awhile back. Share this post Link to post

Posted January 17, 2015 Well, I passed put around 5am. But so far, no emails. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I'm not decided if the notice that winners have been picked yet is a blessing or a curse! -sits impatiently- Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I wish for something silver. Shimmer would be amazing, Tinsel would be awesome too. I could create my own lines with Nebulas. Gray/silver and red is my favourite color scheme, so female red nebula and male silver prize dragon would make beautiful babies *.* Silver prize and blue Nebula would also look fantastic, as I also love blue. It may be difficult to win though, as I had to skip one entry, so I got total of 13. Good luck everyone Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 Still, really hope they go out soon. At least it should be before the weekend's over... right? I hope so,too. Honestly, at this point, even if I didn't win, I'd at least liek to hav e the satisfaction of knowing it so I can let the whole thing go til next year. Also... nice catch of the pretty nebbie shimmer-kin! Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I just gave a newbie a caveborn thunder hatchie and a caveborn thunder hatchie. Maybe karma will kick in? Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) Don't get TOO impatient! Last year, the first Raffle announcement was on January 12 and the update (that the winners had been informed, etc) didn't come around til February 2. Looks like we have some time to stew! ETA: @Miniature Cowgirl - heh, oh how I WISH that worked! Edited January 17, 2015 by Ayelldee Share this post Link to post

Posted January 17, 2015 I bet TJ's having a good laugh at us getting so excited. Lol. I know *I* am amused, but can't imagine what it must be like for TJ Bah, all these Daydreams on my scroll (and this thread) must be affecting my reasoning, because I've been deluded into thinking I might have a chance at this. Must not succumb to the fantasy... must concentrate on studying... I shall not let myself be disappointed no matter what though! Either way means more prizes in the breeding pool, which is awesome in itself <3 and I'll surely be here to congratulate the winners, whether I'm among them or not. Heck, especially if I'm not :B Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 I'm about to go glomping people..... TO THE INTRODUCTION THREAD~ Share this post Link to post

I keep trying to tell myself I won't win, but does my imagination listen... not in the slightest. Edited January 17, 2015 by Silverswift Share this post Link to post
Posted January 17, 2015 Almost bursting with anticipation , cant wait for the emails to be sent Share this post Link to post

Still, really hope they go out soon. At least it should be before the weekend's over... right? Same here, closest thing I have is a 2G prizefail I fished out of the AP awhile back. That's exactly what I was thinking, actually; how does one go about sending six-HUNDRED emails to each and every winner? It seems a little harsh to think he'd go "compose, 'person,' <copy-pasted email>, sent, compose..." and so on 600 times. ^^; Yeah, hopefully ^^; Or even monday, but sooner would be better. Ohhh!!! But it's still gorgeous! Though, I do get your point. ._.' Share this post Link to post
