I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "This girl is crazy! There's no way you can save up for Angelic Minis." Trust me, I'm with you. I thought this was crazy myself, but then I got to thinking. When I really look back at all my quests through out the years, (I've been here since 2005) all my quests seemed impossible at first. When I first joined gaia there were three items that I really wanted: Angelic Pendant (achieved in 2007), Winged Anklets (achieved in 2008 ), and Angelic Minis. Back then, all these items seemed impossible to me, but with the help of my friends and kind gaians, I was able to get enough gold for my quests.

This quest is my biggest quest yet! I don't think you can get much bigger unless you're going for a Halo. I know I can't do this by myself. I'm a college Senior and I can't devote 24 hours a day to gaia. I'm asking for 500 gold from each person. If you think you can spare that much to donate to my insane quest, it will be appreciated. I plan to have special rewards for donators and if I can get 88000 gaians to donate 500 gold, then Angelic Minis will be easy. I understand that getting that many gaians to give up that much gold is also impossible. That's why I'm putting my gold, items, luck, whatever I can muster up into this quest. I also have my two really close friends helping me with this quest. Together, I believe we can accomplish this goal.

Note: This account is a MULE account. My main you'll see around and has been around since 2005. Please send all items and gold to Kiseki of Wings.

The bump contest has ended! A winner will be chosen shortly!

The status will be hard to keep track of due to the crazy inflation, so the quest bar serves more as a mileage than anything else. In truth, I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get the minis for, or whether I'll be lucky enough to find someone selling a pair on the Exchange. Right now, all I know is that millions upon millions are still needed.

Aside from pure gold, I have a collection of items that will hopefully inflate during my quest:
-- Aquarium Ninja Fish /20k
-- Aquarium Candycorn Fish /41k
-- Gee Boi Turbo x2 /46k
-- Ty.Go.li Embryonic Vial /90k
-- Gwee /23k
-- Let It Snow /52k
-- Demonic Anklets /76k
-- Dark Halo /167k
-- GO Phones x2 /63k
-- Lila the Mermaid /86k
-- Aquarium Ninja Fish x3 /20k
-- Aquarium Dark Knight Fish x2 /19k
-- Aquarium Starfish /22k
-- Aquarium Kiki Catfish /33k
-- Aquarium Seaslug x2 /15k
-- Aquarium Seahorse /20k
-- Aquarium Bubbler /12k
-- Lyndexer's Journal /165k
-- Stolen Mesozoic DNA /120k
-- Cloud /150k

estimated total as of July 12, 2009:
xx1,423,000

› » No spamming
This is a quest thread, and I don't want random spamming throughout it. I want people to talk, get to know people, and have fun. EMOTICONS and the word BUMP are considered spam. Things you may post are as followed: Chats with people, Booty Grab posts (Amount/Name/Page), etc. If you are doing a contest, you may post a nice graphic for your posts, but please talk with people if that appear.


› » Must DONATE to Win Contests!
In order to take part in any contest or event, you must have donated at least once. 500 gold is nothing compared to what we'll be giving out, or the effort that is being put into this thread. This is also to protect our regulars from people coming in and stealing page contests. Please send all trades to Kiseki of Wings!


› » Follow ToS!
This is not a hard rule to follow. Just obey the gaia ToS.


› » Do NOT beg for Donations!
Seriously! Go make your own quest thread. No, I'm not going to donate the gold that other gaians were generous enough to give to me. I absolutely hate whiny beggars! There should be plenty of gold you can earn here whether it's by posting, booty grabs, or winning a contest. Beg me or try to scam me, and you'll go on the black list and my ignore list.


› » Read Everything!
These are just the main thread rules. To understand the sponsors, games, trade-ups, and anything else the thread hosts, you'll need to read those as well. You have been warned.

[Kiseki of Wings]

Inside this thread are a variety of methods that will not only aid me in my quest, but can earn you gold as well. Please check them out~

➟ xx what will you trade for an ❛Blue Daffodil❜ ?

❝What exactly is a trade up?❞

A trade-up quest is where you take one item and trade for an item of higher value each time hoping to get the item you want or of equal value to trade for it. This is done through the kindness of gaians wanting to help another. I highly doubt I'll find someone willing to trade an item for Angelic Minis, but I can trade up an item to help aid my quest. If you'd like to help trade up with me, please have the item be around 5K+ more than the item I have. It really helps the latter grow better than just trading up for a few hundreds.

Please send trade up items to Kiseki of Wings and label the trade as "Trade-Up"

// Each person that trades up will be entered into the sponsors raffle

[Kiseki of Wings]

WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS?
Sponsors are people that want to help me with my quest by either donating their skills, such as art or graphics, or an item. My goal is to see how many gaians I can really get to donate 500g and that is what the sponsors should aim their prizes around. The sponsor will decide how and when their donation will be given out. If a sponsor says, "I'll draw one fullbody art when 200 gaians donate." Then after the 200 goal has been reached, I will use a random number generator to determine the winner. For an entry fee of 500g, that's a spiffy deal.

o.O THAT'S INSANE! WHAT IF I DONATE MORE?
This isn't a "who can donate the most" contest. I want to make that perfectly clear. If you would like to donate more than 500g, then for each 500g I will count that as 1 gaian. If you donate an item or donate more than 500g, I will ask you if you want to be added to the raffle or not.

I'VE WON! NOW WHAT?
I want to point out that I am in NO way responsible for my sponsors. They are doing this to help me, but if you win, you need to talk to the person sponsoring the prize. Sponsors can decide to withdraw their sponsorship, but I would like a heads-up notice. If this happens and a person would like a refund, I will return it and try to talk to another sponsor for compensation.

I WANNA BE A SPONSOR!
If you want to be a sponsor, that's great! Here's what you do. PM Kiseki of Wings saying you want to sponsor us. I need you to tell me what you want to sponsor: art, graphics, gaia cash, or an item. If it's art or graphics please specify what type of art and graphics they are. For example Lineart, CG, Full body, Couple, Headshot. While graphics can be thread graphics, roleplay graphics, banners, etc.

GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL !
Pokemon is something I've loved since it first came out, and that hasn't changed. Most of my friends helping me on this quest are also a fan of this series and I wanted to turn that love into a game. It's pretty simple. I will choose a pokemon at random and you will have to guess which one it is. You get one chance every two days. If no one guesses it after two days, I will put up a clue. The clue can be anything from what type it is, a letter in it's name, or what region it was originally found in. There are 493 pokemon in all. Keep in mind that they won't always be fully evolved forms of the pokemon either. If you pick Raichu, and the pokemon is Pikachu, you won't win. Please PM Kiseki of Wings to guess. PM Soranoo and your guess will not count.
Please use this list if you are unfamiliar with the pokemon world.
List of Pokemon provided by Wikipedia

1st Clue: This pokemon first came about in the Hoenn Region.
2nd Clue: This pokemon is a 2nd stage evolution. It has evolved once.
3rd Clue: This pokemon has 3 vowels in its name.
4th Clue: This pokemon is NOT a water type.

Prize: Aquarium Bell Blossom



SCRAMBLE !
For this game, I will give you a word. It can be anything from a normal word out of the dictionary, a person's name, or even a phrase/quote. The object of this game is to random number generate the numbers 1-26 and successfully get all the letters you need in the order they appear. Each number corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. I will give you which numbers you need. You must get them in that order. If the numbers you need are 3-14-7-25, then you must first get the number 3, then keep generating numbers until you get 14, and so on. Please make sure you keep track of the page numbers that you get each post on. If you wish, you may keep track of your progress by spelling out the word/phrase in your post as you get each letter. I encourage you to spell them out and link them as they come to help you keep track. This will not count as spam, but if people are around, please talk to them. PM Kiseki of Wings if you have any questions or the winning phrase.

Phrase for today:
"Miracle for wings"
13-9-18-1-3-12-5-6-15-18-23-9-14-7-19

Prize: Aquarium Elegant Lily



PAGE CONTEST !
To help get this thing moving, we're starting out with small page contests. This is the only contest in that the donation rule does not apply, but you must have been around at least ten pages beforehand. If someone does sneak in and grab the page, the prize will be awarded to the next poster.

For now, the first poster on every fifty pages will win - 50, 100, 150, etc.

Prize: 1k

[Kiseki of Wings]

If 88,000 Gaians donate 500g...

Any donations of tokens and tickets are much loved, as well. Tokens will all be played, and tickets sold for gold to help fund.

「xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Grab Some of That Booty!
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx」

We've decided that it's time to make another special event. Things are just too quiet around here! So to celebrate the opening of our Booty Grab Thread, we're going to have a Booty Grab Contest! Who doesn't like to play Booty Grab and win fish anyway? There's going to be several contests here so watch for our tanks to glow and you could win for just grabbing yourself some gold.



xxx›››xx「 Highest - - Grab 」

This one is simple. Grab off of Soranoo or Fallen Twilight's tank. If you have a higher grab than what is listed, take a screen shot of your grab on the result screen (alt+print screen) and PM it to Kiseki of Wings. Please host your grab until the end of the contest as we will not do it for you. There will be two winners; one for the highest grab off of Soranoo's tank, and one as well as Twii's.

A deadline has not been set as of yet. We will be taking participants and gold earned from our tanks into consideration before deciding on one.

*Prizes; any 50 Gaia Cash item for your tank !


Current Scores:

Soranoo: PotionsPet 485/121
Fallen Twilight: no one !



xxx›››xx「 Grabbing - - Raffle 」

Once again, you'll be grabbing off of each of our tanks, but this time for each grab, you'll get one ticket. You may grab us as many times as our tank glows. The more times you grab, the more chances you'll have at winning. However, you must take a screen shot of each grab! Once we reply to your PM about a confirmed grab, then you may delete the grab from your account. We will list the grabs in the order that we receive them, and at the end of the grabbing period, we will generate a winner. Both tanks are in the same raffle. Please PM Kiseki of Wings with your grabs! If this contest is a hit, we'll keep it as a regular contest each month.

Again, the deadline will be decided at a later time.

*Prizes; luck Key
More prizes may be added.


Grabs:
1 PotionsPet // 2 Name //
