Hello, my fellow Gaians, and welcome to my 2013 Holiday Bash! This year, I'm focusing on contests which means you can walk away with some serious gold! Trying to save up for your dream avi but find yourself a mil or two short? Look no further! I've got just what you need~! I have several contests sure to satisfy your lust for that virtual currency.


xxRulesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


xxFᴏʟʟᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇ Gᴀɪᴀ TOS!xx

Let's start out with the obvious: Follow the Gaia TOS. This rule is a staple in pretty much every thread on Gaia and this one is no exception. If you don't know what the Gaia TOS entails or you need a refresher course, feel free to [CLICK HERE] and look through it. However, I feel like its content is pretty much self explanitory. This rule is, by far, the most important.


xxRead this page carefully!xx

Each contest has its own set of rules and guidelines, so make sure you read everything carefully! If you have any questions, concerns, or just need something cleared up, don't be afraid to ask! I am more than happy and willing to answer any and all questions you may have about my contests. If things are not clear in my explanations then please let me know so I can try to alter it in a way that might make more sense for everyone.


xxGift Giving and Snowball Throwingxx

This is a Holiday event, after all! Gift Giving and Snowball Throwing are both welcomed and encouraged!


xxThings to keep in mindxx

As things change in this thread, so might these rules. I reserve the right to be able to change/alter/update these rules as I see fit. I am the word of the law around here and inability to follow my rules will result in immediate termination from all of my contests and eliminate your chance of winning. If you have donated to me in exchange for raffle tickets, you will receive no refund. Please remember to respect me, as well as your fellow Gaians and, of course, have fun!

[Okay Shut Up]

xxThe Dice Challenge!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Next up is the Dice Challenge! This game is pretty simple. If you want to participate in any of the events, you'll probably be posting here, right? Why not make some extra gold in the process!? Here are some easy steps:


[1] When writing your post (before hitting submit), choose Post Action (default choice should be None).
[2] Now choose 'Roll Dice'. From here, you should be able to determine the number of sides on your die (Die size) and the number of dice you will be rolling (# of dice).
[3] Choose 20 sided and enter 20 in the # of dice field.
[4] Hit 'Submit'!


There are 5 Categories that you must clear in order! You must work on the first tier before moving on to the second tier and so on and so forth. Each tier will be a bit more difficult than the last and will also be slightly more rewarding! If you complete all 5 tiers in order, you will have won over 200 THOUSAND Gaia Gold! As soon as someone clears the 5th tier, the contest is over so try to be the first to win that gold before it's gone!

Here are the tiers:


Tier 1: Roll 5 dice of the same number in the same sequence. (i.e. 5, 9, 12, 6, 14, 8, 9, 20, 17, 5, 19, 9, 16, 1, 1, 9, 20, 13, 9, 12. This would be a winner because there are 5 '9's in this sequence!)
Prize: 1,000 Gold!
Tier 2: Roll a total of 150 or less!
Prize: 10,000 Gold!
Tier 3: Roll 3 dice of the same number in a ROW! (i.e. 5, 9, 12, 6, 14, 8, 9, 20, 17, 5, 1, 1, 1, 20, 6, 9, 20, 13, 9, 12. This would be a winner because there are 5 '1's in a row!)
Prize: 30,000 Gold!
Tier 4: All dice must be below 10! (Each dice must be below 10, not the total of all of them)
Prize: 60,000 Gold!
Tier 5: Roll a total of 100 or less!
Prize: 100,000 Gold!



If you've completed a tier, send me a pm with the link to your winning post and I will send you your prize and add you to the list of people who have completed a tier so we can all see your progress! Good Luck!

xxPoké-Holiday Raffle!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Here is another chance for you to win some major gold-ola! 5 MILLION Gold, to be exact! How do you win? It's easy! You do certain tasks to earn Raffle Tickets and on Christmas night (or the day after, depending), a winner will be chosen to receive their 5 MILLION Gold prize! How do you get raffle tickets, you ask? Well, there are 3 ways!


[1] Join my Pokemon X and Y thread by offering your Friend Code to my list! Adding your Friend Code will reward you with 5 Raffle Tickets! Those who have theirs added on the list prior to this contest announcement will receive 10 raffle tickets!
[2] I will have 1 Pokemon-related riddle or question a day starting Friday, December 20th all the way to Christmas. PM me your answer to win your tickets! Do not flood my inbox with answers and each account only gets 1 guess. If you answer correctly, you win 5 more raffle tickets! Answering incorrectly comes with no penalty, but remember: You only get one guess! So choose wisely!
[3] Donate! Every 1k you donate to me gets you a ticket! This is what helps me keep my contests running and ensures I will be able to have a similar event for the next Holiday Gaia celebrates! This is mostly for people who would simply like an edge in the competition outside of the normal means or for people who don't know a lot about Pokemon, but would still like to participate in the raffle.



A winner will be randomly drawn from all the raffle tickets either Christmas night or the 26th, depending on my work schedule. Good Luck to everyone!



xxQuestions of the Day!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


12/20/2013 Pokemon of the Day: This Pokemon used to be Human. It can usually be found around old ruins of ancient civilizations. It carries around something it had when it was alive and sometimes they look at it and cry.
Answer: Yamask.

12/21/2013 Pokemon of the Day: This Pokemon excretes a sticky fluid that can dissolve anything. During evolution, its eyes devolved, making it virtually blind. Instead of seeing, it uses its four 'horns' to sense sounds and smells.
Answer: Sliggoo.

12/22/2013 - 12/23/2013 Pokemon of the Day: This Pokemon has the ability to literally turn in to the element they represent. It is the biggest in its family. It hates storms, but loves showers. What is it?
Answer: Vaporeon.

12/24/2013 - 12/25/2013 Pokemon of the Day: This Pokemon burrows in to the ground when scared.It is known for making maze-like nests under the ground. Although it prefers to stay below the earths surface and completely shrouded in darkness, it does have the ability to 'fly', if only a little.
Answer: Dunsparce.




PLEASE REMEMBER TO MESSAGE ME YOUR ANSWER BY MIDNIGHT [PACIFIC TIME] TONIGHT TO RECEIVE YOUR RAFFLE TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT!



And the Winner is....! *drum-roll*

Oooh it's Haru-chan! yum_puddi HI HARU-CHAN WHERE'S TAMA-CHAN

Tamaki-Senpai is out of the country for the holidays. I think he said something about a tropical island. He wanted me to come along, but it seemed like it would be more trouble than it was worth. I don't need anything fancy to enjoy myself... just wouldn't feel like Christmas. Besides, I'd much rather spend the holidays with all of you! *natural smile*

To be honest... I'm half expecting him to show up out of nowhere. Probably crying about how he missed me even though I talked to him about ten minutes ago. *shrugs* He's just weird like that. But I don't mind that he went without me. Actually, I think I prefer it.

... *chuckles a bit* You're weird. *smiles* You don't have to go out of your way for me, but thanks anyway. If it's all the same to you, I think I would rather you be yourself, rather than Tamaki-sempai. =]
