Hi everyone! Today after my show horses came back from the arena, I realized I had finally surpassed a 15,000 hb daily payout :X I know this isn't much compared to most but for only having been playing for less than a year I think I'm doing ok haha!

I wanted to do a giveaway to celebrate the occasion since so many on here are so generous and I finally feel financially stable enough to be able to contribute. This is my first ever giveaway!

So, here's how the giveaway will work:

I will give out a total of 15 prizes to 15 people! to celebrate my 15k. I want to split up the prizes into three categories; prizes that can be used by Premium upgrades, Basic upgrades, and no upgrade accounts. I want to make sure everyone can benefit with a prize regardless of upgrade level.

The prizes will as follows:

PREMIUM UPGRADES:
1. One egg from Mother of Dragons FTF - Bronze Age WB
2. One egg from Benevolence FTF - AOLMP WB
3. Three straws from Final Countdown FTF - Hom DP Mysterious Sigil WB
4. Three straws from The Black Pearl FTF - Baroque WB w/ W10
5. Will design you one tattoo!

BASIC UPGRADES
1. Three straws from Twist and Shout FTF - Pretzel Twist WB
2. Three straws from Trial by Fire FTF - Hom KP Sparkling Cider RH
3. Shades of Pale RH mare - GMTable
4. 6,000 hbs! (to be delivered by selling me a horse - can return horse for 1hb if desired)
5. Will design you one tattoo!

NO UPGRADE
1. 10,000 hbs! (to be delivered by selling me a horse - can return horse for 1hb if desired)
2. Three new creates from the Exceptional Show Horse Herd Helper
3. Three established show ponies with at least 30 daily payout
4. Dun Splash Exceptional Producer WB mare
5. Brindle Breakout WB mare

So - how do you win??
Simply reply to this thread with your Player ID# and what level of upgrade you have (Premium, Basic, or none). I would love it if you could also tell me your favorite part about the game :) This won't add to your chances of winning, but I have gotten so much fun out of this game since joining, I want to hear from all of you about what you love about it too!

Winners will be chosen via an online random name drawing generator. Different drawings will be held for each category. For example; all Premium upgrade participants will be placed in one list. A random name drawing generator will pick a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth name to win each of the five prizes in that category. No name will be drawn twice. Rinse and repeat for the other two categories!

Contest ends Thursday, November 14 at 11:59 PM game time (aka rollover). I will announce winners by Saturday, November 16 at the latest :)

Thank you all in advance for playing!! Let's do this! <:-P

My favorite thing about the game is the real genetics when breeding

FallingStar · Nov 6, 2019 7:38 PM

Thank you for the giveaway. I wish I had enough to give back to the other players.

I have a basic upgrade.

I love the genetics in this game and the practically infinite ways the horses can come out looking like. The designs are always so unique.

I like the real to life Genetics of the game and then the fantasy genes that can be added.

I like everyone else, love the genetics and unique image aspect.

Congrats on hitting 15k! :D

Congratulations on hitting 15k, and thanks for doing a giveaway!
My favorite part of the game is probably the analytical, puzzle aspect of figuring out what genes a horse has, what their babies will look like from certain crosses, that kind of thing. That and the community!

I love learning about genetics and making colorful horses! This game is super addictive! Plus the community is great

I love being able to throw around my genetics fun facts at the barn like it’s common knowledge. Plus I love being able to predict foal color outcomes in real life.

No Upgrade on this account.

I really like the surprise factor of this game. You can make an educated guess about how a foal will look, but you never really know how they will turn out!

Also, this is one of the friendliest online communities I've ever encountered! I can't wait until I'm in a position to host a giveaway myself. ☺️

My favorite part of the game is the relaxing aspect of it. I'm in college and after cramming for exams for hours I can come on here and enjoy beautiful horses.

HorseAngel · Nov 7, 2019 12:28 PM

Congrats! I just got a premium upgrade a day ago! My ID is 253402! This is great!

My favorite thing is searching for how different genes combine and finding dream horses, and then designing a breeding project that could produce those horses!

Crazyhorse · Nov 7, 2019 9:12 PM

Barn id #237759 I have a premium upgrade.

Love how great the community is on haj!

I am breeding for black and liver pearl frame with kit genes. I love how realistic the genes are but I do like to throw in some fantasy genes as well.

Premium upgrade.

My favorite thing is pasture breeding each month and.then sorting through all the new foals and choosing which to keep.

FlyingTurkeyFarm · Nov 9, 2019 2:08 PM

Thanks everyone for sharing what you love about the game :) Keep the entries coming!

My favorite part is definitely playing around with genetics. Even when I know exactly what I'm breeding for, there is that chance that the genetics will combine in just the right way to give me something I've never seen before. I love the anticipation of every breeding season.

I love the science basis. Even the fantasy parts of the game follow genetics rules.

FlyingTurkeyFarm · Nov 12, 2019 9:20 PM

Only a few days left!

FlyingTurkeyFarm · Nov 13, 2019 8:59 AM

If we dont end up with at least 5 entries for the No Upgrade category, I will make a new list of *all* participants who did not win a prize in the other categories, and draw from that list to distribute the remaining prizes in the No Updates category :)

And the community, the fantasy genes mixed with real, hypothetical ones and everything in between

FlyingTurkeyFarm · Nov 14, 2019 9:35 PM

Thanks everyone for entering! I will work on drawing for and distributing prizes tomorrow :)

FlyingTurkeyFarm · Nov 15, 2019 7:07 PM

Alright everyone, results are in! <:-P But, before we celebrate, I want to clarify how I allocated all the prizes. Obviously we had over 15 entries, but not 5 total entries with no account upgrade. So, I ran a final ~Wild Card Round~ to allocate the remaining four No Upgrade prizes to those who hadn't already won in their respective categories!<br />

First, I did random drawings for the Premium and Basic Upgrade categories. After each category, I took note of who had NOT won a prize and put their names in a separate list. When it came time to do the No Upgrade category, I first did a random number generator (1-5) to determine which prize 3rdCrowned1 would earn. Then, I put all of the Premium and Basic upgrade entrants who did NOT earn a prize in their respective category into a list together, and randomly drew names for the remaining four No Upgrade prizes.

That being said... drum roll please...

CONGRATS TO OUR WINNERS!

PREMIUM UPGRADES:
1. @westworld- One egg from Mother of Dragons FTF - Bronze Age WB
2. @Taliesin- One egg from Benevolence FTF - AOLMP WB
3. @Chesneythecorgi- Three straws from Final Countdown FTF - Hom DP Mysterious Sigil WB

4. @FalhallowStables- 6,000 hbs! (to be delivered by selling me a horse - can return horse for 1hb if desired)
5. @Sugarbread- Will design you one tattoo!

Thank you so much to everyone who entered! I had a blast putting this on. I will begin distributing prizes as soon as possible and hope to have everything arranged by the end of the weekend. If I need anything from you in order to facilitate the receipt of your prize, I will private message you. If you're receiving a horse, I will add you to my buddy chat. If you're receiving hbs, I will add you to my chat and you will need to place a horse for sale for the amount you won. I can return the horse to you for 1hb if desired.

If you are receiving a tattoo, please be patient as that will take longer and be a bit more contingent on my schedule. But, we can start talking about what you'd like for your tattoo right away!

I will make ample efforts to get in touch with everyone but if anyone does not retrieve their prize within a reasonable timeframe and multiple attempts to contact, I reserve the right to redistribute the prize.

Thank you! :)

LCorona001 · Nov 15, 2019 7:25 PM

I’d like to give my prize to a newer player, if anyone would like to nominate a newer player with no upgrade that would be great! :)

westworld · Nov 15, 2019 9:16 PM
