Raffles & Giveaways

[center][IMG]http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n446/fantasyfreak315/Year%20of%20the%20Bear%20Raffle/YearoftheBearHeader_zpsqpk1kxmy.jpg[/IMG] [i]You are a flying over the Sunbeam Ruins on a hunting trip (a certain member of your clan is rather fond of those Old World rabbits) when you spot an unusual sight in the clearing below you. Guardian bears, from all over Sornieth, have gathered here. There are quite a few dragons of the Guardian breed in attendance too. Curious, you land at the edge of the area. A guardian male, golden scales glinting brightly in the sun, comes to greet you. “Welcome friend,” he rumbles, “The year of the bear is at an end, and so we come together here to celebrate our bear brethren, who protect their lands so fiercely. Would you care to join us?”[/i][/center] Welcome everyone, to a raffle I spent nearly a year preparing for (Wow!). Yup, that’s right, in prizes in this raffle include apparel, skins/accents, and bears from the 2014-2015 Holiday cycle. So come on over, grab a donut (honey filled, of course), and join us in celebrating all things bear! =D [size=5]~ Rules ~ [/size] [list=1][*]This raffle will run from [b]Sunday, June 7, 2015[/b] till [b]Tuesday, June 30th at 21:00 (9pm PST) Server Time[/b].

Hello everyone! It's been a while, but I'm pinging you because you all participated in my previous raffle back in December and now I have a new one set up with all kinds of Holiday goodies as prizes. Any of you care to join in? Or perhaps you have some Newbie friends who might be interested in this?

And we are OPEN! To kick things off, here's a pic I came across on Facebook recently. Look at the size of that bear's paw! I had no idea they were that huge! :o

pic!

@dragonwriter315 I'd like to PM you a [item=wintermane bowman] for tickets. And give you notice that I've got the graphic in my sig. Does this count as a bump too? XDDD Look at me trying to triple dip.

@Dragonwriter315
I'd like to buy 10 tickets, please!

What is your favorite bear/apparel/skin from the 2014-2015 Holidays? Why?
The holiday apparel for the Crystalline Gala and Trickmurk Circus because I'm totally not biased are my favourite, I think. They just look cool to me.

@dragonwriter315 This sounds pretty cool! Thanks @Yoda for pinging me :D I'll definitely be participating in this, seeing how I missed all of the holidays except for the Greenskeeper Gathering... Haha. Okay, for tickets, I'll be donating: [img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/equipment/739.png[/img] for now. Maybe one of the other items later. Apart from that, I'd like to buy 10 tickets with treasure and 5 with gems (so I'll send that over in a minute). Sadly I'm not part of the Light Flight, so I miss out on that free ticket, but I am a major noob! So that'll be one free ticket for me, ya! And seeing as my signature is quite empty, I'll be displaying one of your signatures from now on! And I'll show of my one dragon dressed up in holiday apparel! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=13203130] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/132032/13203130_350.png[/img] [/url] He may be an Ice dragon, but he sure loves the Greenskeeper apparel :D
