Hello AtS! I have a couple of questions from a friend of mine regarding Paws stuff. smile

Quote:
Question 1: Can you give a rough estimate on when the winners of the Best in Show contest will be announced?

Best in Show: We'll have them announced this week!


bluealaris
Hi there! Cross-Stitch may be re-visited in the future, especially for our Paw friends- but I can't make any guarantees that it will be a monthly event.

Back when you introduced the story writing competition when the project EI ticket came out it was somewhat implied that this could be a way to get a ticket from Gaia. Was this just badly worded and you mean't other gaians might be so generous?

P.s. great to see this back and at that hour earlier for those in different time zones.


Hello there!

That thread was just meant for fun, sorry! However we may consider that kind of prize in the future!

There was a kickstarter where the 150bil personal tier mentioned winning a chance at being drawn in the Manga. I'm wondering if the winner(s) have been chosen and for what Manga (current/future)?

^Personal question. Thanks for your consideration.

We do have winners, it will be for the current manga. However, the time of when they will be featured hasn't been decided yet.

Hello and welcome! Here are the answers to a few of the questions posted in our pre-event thread! Please don't duplicate the questions listed below as the answers we have given are as complete as we can make them at this time.

Quote:
Mine is a sort of two category question: while I love the idea behind the tickets, can we someday have a chance to be able to create wonderful items for Gaia for users that may not have cash resources or incredible vending skills?

Like a once a month, could do a "Enter your ideas for This type of ticket!" contest, giving 1-3 users a shot at getting their item made and dreams realized, and gives potential ideas for new items!

We actually have done this before with Crosstich where we have a contest of item ideas and create the winning one! This is something we plan on bringing back.

Will crosstitch ever been updated?

We have plans to run another Crosstitch!


Zero Omega
Ridley Starsmore
Items

Is there a way we can get maybe a contest for a certain type of ticket given away per month for those users that have great ideas for new items, but not necessarily deep pockets in terms of cash or gold?

Such as "Hey, it's December, and nothing says 'Fun Winter times' like snuggling with a favorite pet while watching holiday specials! But even on Gaia, we don't have all the pets anyone could want just yet! So submit your ideas for a perfect pet, and you could win a Ruby Ticket to make your dreams a reality!"

We like the idea behind it, so we'll look into possibly doing it!

If you've kept the item designs from CrosStitch contests, is there any chance more designs will be made from the past contests if new contests aren't planning on being held?

We don't plan on using previous designs at this moment, but we are planning to hold a new CrosStitch contest soon! Please stay tuned for more details. smile

How were the winners for the Best in Show contest decided for the animal base? Was it a randomized thing?

We selected the winners based on what we liked!

(not sure where to place this one)
I recently saw the item contest and I was wondering:

Why isn't there an animal base?


I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to- if its for the Cross-stitch contest that's currently on-going there should be an Animal template and contest for them. If its not there we'll fix that immediately!

About the Crosstitch contest:

One can do entries for either the human or paws. But, at the end, are all entries going to be available for both bases anyway like how items from gold shop have been released recently?

(sorry if it already been asked; with only 10 min to go, I don't have time to double check 20 pages)

For the current CrosStitch contest, each item will be exclusive for their respective bases. They may be converted at a later date.

Sorry this question doesn't pertain to many people. I was just wondering when the rot halos/ the one double rainbow ticket are going to be handed out from the last gold sink. I donated like 1.04t (or was it 1.07?) I dont know if I was high enough on the list, so I dont know if the prizes have been handed out already.

This week! Srrry for the delay!

I'm curious to know what happened to the Paw NPC Fan Art Contest Gaia was holding last month? It's seems to have died off with no winners announced and no update as to what's going on.

Prizes this week. Guaranteed.

Is there an ETA on when the winners for the zOMG! Best Memory Contest will be announced? There was a lot of love poured into those entries, so it's cool if you're simply taking your time with going through them all... but for those same reasons, please don't let this be put off or forgotten.


We’ve been taking a look at the entries! We’ll have a winner before the Thanksgiving holiday! The entries have been so incredibly that it’s very difficult to pick a winner. Thanks for your patience!

You said last AtS that the winners for the zOMG! Best Memory Contest would be picked before Thanksgiving. Were they? I saw no notifcation of such.

Apologies. The plan was to have them out before the holidays but we got delayed. We actually have the winners selected, just haven't announced them yet. We'll be getting that out tomorrow!

When will the Crosstitch winners be announced?

The Crosstitch winners are chosen and announced simultaneously with the release of the completed items about one month after contest closing. This overlaps a bit with the holidays, but the update should be late December or early 2015! Stay tuned~

We have the Charity winner! We'll be announcing them later. We don't have any plans to announce the winners of any CIs as they aren't contests. However, we do Christmas Wreath which was a raffle, we plan to announce the winners of that later this week.

I was poking through the other threads in the Contests forum, and I found one that speaks to me on a deep, personal level. However, I couldn't help but notice the rules state:

[NPC] Rina
If my pie idea is picked as a winner, what will I win?!?!
Another awesome question! This contest will have 3 grand prize winners of a "Sweet as Pie" prize Pack. Not only will one of our fabulous artists create your pie as an item for the Buttercup Cafe shop, but you'll also win the following...



However, I don't think these pies were ever actually made, were they? Maybe for the next Pi Day, this could be corrected?

Oh man, let me follow up on that for you. Sounds like a great update for Rina's cafe on this year's Pi day, which is 1 decimal place more accurate than last year! Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Could we have a CrosStitch contest in which we could draw some backgrounds?

Full ones, partial ones (like the window in the Owl Study), borders (like the Noel's Gift golden frame or the Art Nouveau inspired lovely flower circles), shapes (like Cafe Miam, Innocent Capri, Purrsuasion Play, Volant Reverie.... ovals), fancy re-shaping (like Forest Brier, Dark Omen, Restful Reverie or that graffiti one which my memory currently fail to remember...) or just some background accessories (chairs, tables, flowers & plants...).

Yes, we can consider this for a future CrosStitch contest! It will definitely bring out the most artistic Gaians.

Hope we can have TV, anime, movie, music related cosplay contests where both Gaia Staff members and users can vote/select the winners. biggrin

Could we have a CrosStitch contest for accessories? The theme would be left open, or could be simply "your dream accessories", and would prevent people from actually making clothes: which means no shirts, no dresses, no coats, no pants, no shoes.... just items which are considered as accessories which are there to add more personality to outfits.

It could be brooches or pins, jewelry (like necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, anklets, tiaras -- maybe?), shoe clips, ties, glasses (on head or in the face)...

Edit: On a second thought, maybe leaving shoes could be nice since there's a few fun possibilities which could be done. It's all suggestions anyway, so what's allowed or not would be left to you to decide

We currently don't have any plans for a CrossStitch contest. When we're ready to host another contest, we'll put 'accessories' on our idea list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Would it be possible for there to be a contest to give admin a makeover? She's been wearing the same thing for an awfully long time now. It would be tons of fun!

We know Gino got long hair again after powering up, but were there any changes in coloration? One can't tell in B&W but it'll be important for those doing Dark Moon covers— they'll want to get it right.


We won't disqualify you for any color inaccuracies but his hair has not changed color.
