Raffles & Giveaways

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/KQVEUzr.gif[/img] [/center] [b]Welcome to the Gumbo Kitchen, a lucky-dip style game to benefit Water's Dom Bank! [/b] [center] [b]This event will run from Oct. 6 - Oct. 12![/b] [/center] [size=6][b]Here's how it works: [/b][/size] In order to make the perfect gumbo, you need to collect the right ingredients. [center]Everyone starts out with [b]a roux badge[/b]: [img]https://i.imgur.com/MPolXdg.gif[/img] [code] [img]https://i.imgur.com/MPolXdg.gif[/img][/code][/center] You can go ahead and collect that badge just for participating. :) The rest of the badges will be collected by purchasing ladles from our attendants. In order to win the gumbo badge, you will need one badge from each of the following categories: [center][b]The Trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper) [/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xmCDsQn.gif[/img] [b]Meats[/b] (shrimp, crawfish, chicken) [img]https://i.imgur.com/k0gX6u8.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/pCxMRnd.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/9VzQmqj.gif[/img] [b]Vegetables [/b] (sweet potato, okra, corn) [img]https://i.imgur.com/2LLOvXS.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/rzNGsnU.gif[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/KnB1ZIN.gif[/img] [b]Tabasco[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/YEvSTmi.gif[/img] [/center] Once you've dipped enough ladles to receive one badge from each category (+ your roux badge -- be sure to grab that one right away!) you're eligible for the gumbo badge: [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/4HuIypq.gif[/img][/center] ----- But wait, there's more! Some ladles come with a "wild card" badge, or should I say, a wild [i]corn[/i] badge? ...ahem. It's cornbread! [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/0u6NZar.gif[/img][/center] [b] If you receive a cornbread badge, you can substitute it for any other category to complete your gumbo. [/b] You can swap your cornbread to roll for a new badge in the category of your choosing. Just ping an attendant and let them know you'd like to use your cornbread badge, and tell us for which category you'd like to apply it. ----- [size=5][b]Finished your gumbo but want some more? Players who collect every badge will receive an extra special alligator gumbo badge: [/b][/size] [center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/bc2Wzed.gif[/img][/center] ----- [size=6][b]Here's what you do: [/b][/size] 1.

[center][b] CAJUN CULTURE FACT! [/b] Werewolves, or more specifically, the rougarou (from the French "loup garou" - werewolf), have an important part in Cajun culture. Folk stories claimed that the rougarou could see into a person's soul, and would devour evil-doers (and misbehaving horses!). It was a common cautionary bedtime tale for children.

I can't believe I'm saying this because cornbread is amazing but can I trade my cornbread in for some meats? My gumbo is lacking some PROTEIN.
