Did you bring your most beautiful or handsome attire? Do you have your eye on someone special, hoping to impress them with your best dance? Enjoy the glitz and the glam in Icewarden’s territory. Prizes have been put together for the gala and for all those who participate in the festivities the runners have to offer. Underneath the surface unease glimmers however, as snow fails to thaw and the blossoming petals stay hidden underneath the glistening white blankets. Can the party-goers solve the puzzle of why spring seems to be late?

From February 7th to February 10th you'll need to let us know if we missed anything and we will ensure that you get your tickets. Anything after February 10th will be too late! On February 11th we will draw all winners via Random.org and a browser-sharing program to keep everything public. Winners will send in their prize preferences in lots of 10, this way everyone will know their placement in the winner list but not have to send in prize choices of 30+ packs.[/center] [center][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iNeAP6mgqHyLxfFl1dGX67OKjeePQOQuVUbgh2c8cWM/edit#gid=197281335][img]http://41.media.tumblr.com/adef9d9aa6a3235c42da7451304cca3b/tumblr_o1qt25MvLe1ulynabo3_400.png[/img][/url] [b][size=4][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iNeAP6mgqHyLxfFl1dGX67OKjeePQOQuVUbgh2c8cWM/edit#gid=197281335]Spreadsheet Link[/url][/size][/b][/center] You can find acceptor status, ticket worth of items, ticket entry, and total sum of tickets for each person here!

We have one that we will ping at the start of each of our holiday raffles and one that will be pinged when the second week has started, which will include the beginning of the second week’s costume party. If at any time you want to remove yourself from the pinglist, ping or PM me and I will do so!

They are the go-to for any questions, problems, concerns you have. Just like acceptors they will accept any and all items sent into the raffle! [b][color=4880ff]Acceptors[/color][/b] [user=NuclearNoxi] [user=TidalDawn][/center] These are the dragon clans who are assisting at the gala! They accept any and all items that you send in and will record them just like the hosts can. [center][img]http://40.media.tumblr.com/a53d686397b7b4758a93627d49cb6492/tumblr_o1qt25MvLe1ulynabo6_500.png[/img][/center]

Any person can only win once. 2. Be respectful, both of the acceptors and other users. Remember acceptors have lives! They may not be able to get to your items at all points in time. Note that acceptors can only accept dragons when they're online... there's only four of us so there will probably be times where none of us are on and you will have to wait. 3. If you find that an acceptor hasn't been online for more than 24 hours and your tickets haven't been entered, please screenshot your PM and send it to another acceptor and we will enter your tickets in their place. 4. Rules may be added on an encounter basis. If something occurs we will announce a new rule or alterations and they will be bolded in red for everyone to see the changes. 5. Math. This isn't really a rule but something that we'd love to see, and it would earn you from 10-100 extra tickets for doing! The amount you get will depends on how 'hard' the math calculating was. If you'd like to do the math, do it in this way: Item Name | Number Sent | Tickets Per = Tickets for items So for example: Sacridite 7 x 20 = 140 Shadow Sprite 1400 Total: 1540 [center][img]http://40.media.tumblr.com/a53d686397b7b4758a93627d49cb6492/tumblr_o1qt25MvLe1ulynabo6_500.png[/img][/center]

Treasure, gems, familiars, festival items, baldwin things, swipp, etc! To send, PM one of the acceptors with the items attached and the PM title of "Frosted Revelry Raffle" or something to that effect so we know what the items are for! There are simply too many things to list on this thread unless you want to overwhelm your browser with loading everything, so instead we've outsourced it to our [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iNeAP6mgqHyLxfFl1dGX67OKjeePQOQuVUbgh2c8cWM/edit#gid=197281335]spreadsheet[/url]! If you have something that is not listed on the spreadsheet, feel free to ping or PM me and I will give you a ticket value for it as well as put it on the spreadsheet! [center] [size=5][b][color=4880ff]BumpTickets[/color][/b][/size] You can receive 5 tickets for bumping the thread! If you do, ping @DeadlyInformant and @MiladyEmerald. It's as simple as typing 'bump' and posting! There are a few rules, however.[/center] 1. It's been 10 minutes since the last bump 2. You can only receive tickets for bumping once a day 3. You have to have one of our banners or buttons in your signature [center] [size=5][b][color=4880ff]Referral Tickets[/color][/b][/size] You can receive tickets for 'referring' someone to the raffle! Spread the word to your friends and when they buy or send in items for tickets, if they mention that you referred them you will get 100 tickets. A user can only refer someone [b]once[/b]. So, say that TidalDawn gets referred by MiladyEmerald, TidalDawn cannot come back and claim that NuclearNoxi referred them. However MiladyEmerald can refer other people and continue to claim tickets. TidalDawn would be able to refer people as well and receive tickets themselves. [size=5][b][color=4880ff]Treasure Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Treasure value = ticket value 500 = 1 | 5,000 = 125 10,000 = 350 | 50,000 = 1,875 75,000 = 2,750 | 100,000 = 3,450 250,000 = 8,950 | 500,000 = 14,000 750,000 = 26,000 | 1,000,000 = 59,000 [size=5][b][color=4880ff]Gem Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Gem value = ticket value 1 = 1 | 10 = 125 20 = 350 | 100 = 1,875 150 = 2,750 | 200 = 3,450 500 = 8,950 | 1,000 = 14,000 1,500 = 26,000 | 2,000 = 59,000 [size=5][b][color=4880ff]Material/Trinket Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Anything that is not used for Swipp or Baldwin will be counted as 1/10th of the hoard sale value. [b]Examples:[/b] 23 treasure each = 2.3 tickets 55 treasure each = 5.5 tickets [size=5][b][color=4880ff]Dragon Tickets[/color][/b][/size] [img]http://puu.sh/mI4vT/b72e084c90.png[/img] [img]http://puu.sh/mI4fs/8faba60d07.png[/img] A big thank you to Snaptrap, tickets based on the system used during their holiday raffles. Things get tweaked here or there but it was a big help to see the way they ran things.[/center] [center][img]http://40.media.tumblr.com/a53d686397b7b4758a93627d49cb6492/tumblr_o1qt25MvLe1ulynabo6_500.png[/img][/center]

Unlocks can be a certain number of tickets achieved, a certain number of people participating, certain number of items sent in, etc. I'll only reveal one prize (but not the unlock criteria) each raffle!

Perhaps do some dancing, or eat some good snacks. Both weeks will have separate costume parties! That means each week will have a different 'theme' that you can dress your dragon up for and participate in. [center][size=4][b][color=4880ff]How to Play[/color][/b][/size][/center] 1. Dress your dragon to fit the theme! 2. Post the BBCode of your dragon in the thread and show them off 3. Ping @DeadlyInformant and @MiladyEmerald when you post to alert them 4. Feel free to RP introduce your dragons and even RP with other players! Participate in this Gala and make the best of the dreamy nights! [center][size=4][b][color=4880ff]Prizes[/color][/b][/size][/center] Each week you may enter [b]two [/b]dragons for the current theme, no more. Each dragon will get you 10 tickets for participating. Funny or enjoyable RP posts can get you 1-2 tickets, acceptors can go through the thread and read your antics and add tickets as they like. Each week there will be TWO winners for best costume. The winners will be chosen based on acceptor favorites and they will receive a random prize to be determined at the end of the theme week.

[center][size=7][b][color=4880ff]Raffle Open![/color][/b][/size] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=18014547] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/180146/18014547_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] Hermen dusted snow off his wings, huffing when it didn't seem to make any difference at all in the amount that clung onto him. Icicles dripped from his feathers, his wingtips, there were even some flecking his tail feathers. However the long work was now over, the Crystalline Gala was here and all of his efforts would finally pay off. The floor shimmered under the lights, decorations around the room reflecting the beauty of the huge icy chandelier above the dance floor. He worried whether the Icewarden was going to show, whether the dragons of the land would arrive, whether anyone would even want to participate in the party thrown by relatively unknown dragons. Beneath all of it he wondered whether the secret behind spring's late blooming could be discovered, with this many dragons gathered in one place there's bound to be all kinds of conversations and gossip. Maybe someone would know how to fix the problem. ----------- @MiladyEmerald @TidalDawn @NuclearNoxi It is time to start the raffle! Let's hunker down and be prepared! And have fun too.

My body is ready!
