Raffles & Giveaways

HELLO EVERYONE
In theory, I should have posted the Tuesday/Wednesday jar earlier. In practice, some real life nonsense took me away from the dragon nonsense, and I haven't been able to look at a computer screen until now. As in, I physically haven't been able to stand the light of a monitor. Ouch! This shouldn't happen again.

But on top of that, we have the ~maintenance~ that's going to take the site down for a while, tomorrow. So, the Tuesday/Wednesday Jar is going to have some less time than planned. I was trying to think of a way to make it fair, but I think this jar's just going to have to have less time overall.

But now that we're here, time for the drawing!

Aster and Attie open the envelope to reveal...49! Congratulations, @treesapperson, you were only off one number! You'll receive your prize through PM.

[columns][color=white]|||||[/color]The shout is familiar to you, although it's a little less grand this time around. "Hey! Come over here! We've got a fancy raffle and a fancy statue of your dad!" [color=white]|||||[/color]It's the same two children from the other day, but behind them is a large carving of The Windsinger, dressed up with a fancy bow around his neck. [color=white]|||||[/color]"He'll fluoresce with the right magic shining on him! We nicknamed him Bobby!" the little Nocturne follows his friend up with his own call. [color=white]|||||[/color]You amble over to their stall, curious what they need today. [color=white]|||||[/color]"Hello! Would you like to make a guess? Don't worry, you won't need an omen seeker to help find the answer, you just need to think a little and see what you come up with," Aster winks at you, then flings her arms outward, "For the YARN EMPORIUM!" [color=white]|||||[/color]You turn at her movement, to see a stall across the path brimming with yarn and thread. There's a small crowd shopping, but a distinct crowd has formed to admire one skein. Aster leans closer, as if letting you in on a secret. "That's Silky Yarn, there, made from Gale Wolf fur. Very expensive, very prized, very green. The spinner hasn't measured it yet, to boot." [color=white]|||||[/color]The Nocturne looks up at you at this. "Today and tomorrow, well, we made it more challenging than yesterday. So we want to know:" [size=6][b][color=green]How many yards of yarn in the ball?[/color][/b][/size] You walk over to inspect the yarn balls on display, pushing into the crowd to do so. You hear a harpy nearby mutter to her friend, "[b]Well, there's definitely more than ten. And probably less than two hundred and ten.[/b]" You know that she was being a little sarcastic, but it's still information to work with as you go back to the kids.[nextcol][item=Brilliant Feather Cluster] [item=Shining Feather Cluster] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3209787][img]https://i.imgur.com/RtnESRh.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3209787][img]https://i.imgur.com/Vl3rbhY.png[/img][/url] [item=Fluorite Windsinger][/columns] [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/3209787][img]https://i.imgur.com/MMpu6iJ.png[/img][/url] [item=Prehnite] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2669851][img]https://i.imgur.com/sdzLnIq.png[/img][/url] [nextcol][color=white]|||||[/color]As you walk away, you hear a little call. [color=white]|||||[/color]"Hey, hey there!" [color=white]|||||[/color]Turning, you see a smaller harpy lass, hiding under a bush. You step over to see what she needs. [color=white]|||||[/color]"That's my sister running that table, with the little dragon. And she only lets you have one guess for everything! I think that's stupid. If you give me something I need, then I can put another guess into the jar for you. Today I need [b]a Redblood Sapper[/b], or maybe a [b]Prehnite[/b], can you find me one of them? Oh, or both! I'll take both! I'll sneak in [i]two[/i] guesses if you do that." [color=white]|||||[/color]She squints at you, as if you're the suspicious one. "It'd be nice if you just brought me some money, but this'll do." [color=white]|||||[/color]You stare, baffled, as she scurries away into the bushes.[/columns] [center][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2210659][img]http://i.imgur.com/gAfyzJg.png[/img][/url][/center] Please submit the 5kt/g, bribes, and guesses through PM. @kittykittencat @ArithMedic @treesapperson @Shrapnarl @obcordata @tigressRising @IamNoHere @Dessy @MerlinMausi @hawketh @Regxlia @Islet @Zenhugz

His near perfect guess gives him the confidence to squint at the yarn ball, and say, "Hm. Definitely 11 yards. No...100 yards! No...200!" ----- //Woohoo, I can't believe I won! Thank you so much, this game is a lot of fun :3

Although she knew it happened sometimes, she always felt bad when it did. On the bright side, she was pretty sure she'd figured Attie and Aster out and this time spoke directly to Attie, since Aster had been very shy previously. "I'd like to go with 117." She said with a sigh, not very confident in her answer. Delphi spotted the other harpy again and this time she sought her out on purpose. "I brought you a few more things, do you think you could submit the numbers 87 and 205 for me?" She asked. (forgot to add them in pm so the numbers are 117, 87, and 205)

I should've been clearer in my post, my bad — please add me to the pinglist! I'll submit my guesses at a later time.

'The silky stuff is nice, but what you really want is some qiviut, from the musk ox. That spins up realy nice.'. He hefts the yarn a couple times. 'Well, it's about eight ounces. But the length depends on how find they spun the yarn.' He guesses 98 yards, then 33, then 142. So he's really all over the place on his guesses.

Tsukuyomi sets down the Treasure after only a moment of hesitation. "[b]202[/b]," he declares as he adds his slip before walking away. ...And there's that one person who wants a bribe. "Aight, gimme a sec." The Pearlcatcher meanders through the market until he finds the items, which luckily aren't too hard to track down and purchase. Attaching the [gamedb item=13414] to the [gamedb item=2057], with a ribbon, he sets the improvised package with two other guesses: [b]40[/b] and [b]173[/b].

Guessing 166 yards.

You weren't too far off, better luck this time!" [quote=Kvon]Needles sniffs at the yarn. 'The silky stuff is nice, but what you really want is some qiviut, from the musk ox. That spins up really nice.'. He hefts the yarn a couple times. 'Well, it's about eight ounces.

[quote=ModusMortis]Attaching the Prehnite to the Redblood Sapper, with a ribbon, he sets the improvised package with two other guesses: 40 and 173.[/quote] The young harpy squeels a little once she spots the flower. She carefully tucks the prehnite to her pocket, before running home to show the sapper to her mother- oh, and doubling back to the stall to slip the guesses in. She keeps her promises, after all!

Aster and Attie open the envelope to reveal...44! Congratulations, @ModusMortis, with your guess of 40! You'll receive your prize through PM towards the end of the event.
