[b]CLOSED![/b] The giveaway has ended! Please be patient while we organize and send out prizes, as well as create and deliver tricks. This is a one-man operation, so it may take some time, but we'll be with you as soon as possible! [b]UPDATE![/b] (3/31/22) Man, this is, like, stressful? This and life. Wow! At least I'll be more prepared for any future giveaways, haha. I'm putting an official pause on Tricks, as I don't have the time and energy to draw them at the moment. Treats are still (very slowly) making the rounds, however. I'm including small bonuses as thanks for your patience in receiving your gifts! These small bonuses will also be included in any tricks given out later (a trick [i]and[/i] a treat, how about that!) as well. Rounds are still being made - if you haven't received anything yet, worry not! That said, it has definitely been quite a while. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. My original timeframe for this is so shot, I've decided to no longer worry about it and just get to what I can when I can. Thank you so much for your patience, and I apologize for the incredible delay. I recommend @ mentioning me on this forum, rather than PMing me, as sending out tricks and treats (and receiving many thank you messages in reply - y'all are so friendly, I appreciate it, honestly) tends to drown out my messages. Thanks, and hopefully you'll hear from me again soon [emoji=familiar heart size=1] [b]UPDATE![/b] (3/6/22) Y'all I have never been so tired in my life. The world? It sure be doin' that... tricks and treats are still heading out! Worry not. For a first time, this is going pretty alright, but there will definitely be some changes next year! [b]UPDATE![/b] (2/18/22) I'm never doing this all alone again, good god. Or at least skipping the art next time. If anybody wants to volunteer to help out for the next one, I'll probably open a self-editing pinglist for it once I ping everybody for this giveaway's wrap-up! Don't worry, we are STILL distributing winnings. [b]UPDATE![/b] (1/13) I was going to start with "to those who may have noticed I haven't sent anything for the past few weeks" before realizing literally nobody can notice that. Anyhow; The holidays/new year have made my work schedule incredibly hectic. We've finally gotten some temporary help, however, so trick or treating will continue shortly! Thank you so much for your patience, and we hope to finish up soon! As a soft reminder, every participant in this giveaway will be pinged upon completion, so if you haven't received your treat (or trick!) at that point in time, we'd love to hear from you! [b]UPDATE![/b] (12/8) Yeah, we're still going, haha. I was way too optimistic about how quickly this would be done. In an effort to speed along our giveaway, no further tricks will be delivered until we have finished distributing all treats! Thank you to everyone who has checked in with us! [b]UPDATE![/b] Got sick... Previous mass ping note is inaccurate. That will be happening tomorrow* (11/24)! Please keep checking in - if you do not get pinged in this upcoming notice, I may have missed adding you to the prize pool! *oh wow life just keeps happenin', don't it... [b]UPDATE![/b] (11/12) I apologize for not having delivered any additional tricks or treats today! Things got out of hand at work. Tricks and treats will resume tomorrow night, however! Thank you for your patience! A mass ping will be done as a check-in this weekend; hope to see you! [b]UPDATE![/b] (11/04) No prizes distributed today, for wich I'm very sorry!! I'm too busy today. Will be back to working through everybody tomorrow though! Thank you for your patience! [b]UPDATE![/b] Prizes are still being sorted and delivered (in no particular order)! Thank you for your patience. Tricks will start being distributed this Saturday, on the 6th, due to working schedules. [b]NOTICE![/b] Donations are closed! Please [u]do not[/u] send any more donations, as the giveaway period has ended, and we are now focusing on distribution. Though your generosity and thoughts are very appreciated!

Oh, yeah. I totally got you. Hey there! It's [s]almost[/s] October, also known as my [u]favorite[/u] time of year, and you know what that means! Bats, witches, ghosts and ghouls, costumes, pumpkins, hay bales, and spiced lattes galore ... and most important of all ... [b]Trick or treating![/b] This is an October giveaway - everyone who enters is [i][b]guaranteed[/b][/i] to win! [size=5][b]How Does This Work?[/b][/size] The giveaway ends on [b]10/31/21[/b] at [b]12:00 AM FR-Standard Time[/b], and prizes will be distributed in the following days. Everyone who entered the giveaway will be randomly assigned a trick or a treat - it costs nothing to enter, and everyone wins [i]something[/i]. [b]TRICK:[/b] Users who get a trick rather than a treat will not receive any tangible FR goods. They will, however, receive an arguably terrible drawing of their avatar dragon! If you have a specific dragon in mind in case you win a trick, it's recommended you make them your avatar on or prior to 10/31. Tricks may be limited if the number of entries is high. [b]TREAT:[/b] Users who get a treat will receive any number of FR goods, and the value can vary greatly! Some may win small things like a little food or a rusted chest, while others may win things like an egg or apparel bundles! All tricks and treats are randomly assigned to users. There is [b]no[/b] way to increase your chances of getting a trick vs treat, or a more valuable reward vs a mundane one. [size=5][b]What Can I Really Win?[/b][/size] We have no examples of tricks, but we hope they will both surprise and delight you in their terrible, or just plain questionable, quality. Treats, however; [b]Examples of Potential Minimum Winnings:[/b] [item=Rusted Treasure Chest][item=Iron Treasure Chest][item=Goldenplains Poodle Mith][item=Green Lace Headpiece][item=Rainbow Mussels] [b]Examples of Potential Maximum Winnings:[/b] [item=Gilded Decorative Chest][item=Spare Inventory Crate][item=Tutor's Apparel][item=Unhatched Arcane Egg][item=Accent: Rose Scythe] The above are all genuine examples of potential winnings from this giveaway, but there's plenty more where those came from, big and small! [size=5][b]Why, though?[/b][/size] What a great question! It's because, you know ... uhh ... Spooky spirit?

No reason, she just likes them. [/center] [img]https://i.imgur.com/KaO8GAV.png[/img] [size=2]A bonus[/size] Circe is a mischievous dragon at heart, and as much as she loves giving treats, she likes a good trick, too. Excluding the potential for a "trick" winning, there's just a little bit more to keep a watchful eye out for! [i][b]Her secret rules[/b][/i]. After all, everyone knows [i]all[/i] the best games are played when you twist up the rule book a little. Circe has a small list of rules - secret rules - that she'll apply to every participant in the giveaway who meets them. They're all small things, harmless things, sometimes even just plain [i]nice[/i] things, but you don't know what they are, how to achieve them, or what they might do to [i]you[/i]. And you never will, unless you show some serious investigative power, or guessing capabilities! Circe will only confirm a rule if it's guessed correctly and completely! [b]The only things you know for certain are;[/b] [LIST=1] [*]Circe enjoys her secret rules [*]They will never harm your ability to get a prize (because [i][u]everyone[/u][/i] wins here) [/LIST] ----- [b]Alt:[/b] This giveaway has a small list of undisclosed rules. These rules [i]may[/i] affect various things about how you experience the giveaway (no guarantee), but never in an intentionally negative way. In fact, the changes are all either neutral or entirely positive! (Ex: "X means Y", "If & then Z", ect.) The full rules will never be revealed, but a correct guess by a participant may allow a rule to be confirmed by Circe. A confirmed rule does not disappear, though participants may avoid it or take advantage of it depending on their preferences. ----- Status: [b]Open[/b] [size=2][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AeyhGjj5Je00j5SLEzzv_0R_BuUx7VvSxdGkA3MUKP0/edit?usp=sharing]x[/url] Badges created by yours truly, Bamf[/size]
