500k Give Away! [Closed]
  • In the spirit of giving, post what you love about this game/community! My favorite response will get 500k. Also, nominate a player who you think deserves a prize, and I’ll send them something too! :) This will end Jan 1st at 12pm. :)

  • I joined this game and community in May of this year, curious about a genetics game that looked like it took science seriously, but also had an active community of diverse people. I have been blown away by the kindness, generosity, diversity, and warmth of this group.

    I have spent so much actual money on this game, not because it's pay-to-play, but because Ammit gives us real value, and being able to help support her family is such a cool direct connection. So many internet games, money just descends into a mysterious black hole, but this feels like you're actively supporting someone who deserves it.

    I have experienced such overwhelming generosity here, to the point that I've had to turn down free horses people have offered me because they've already stuffed my barn with horses to bolster my breeding program.

    One of the coolest things I experienced over the gift exchange was when I was searching for horses at stud with a shareable Ice gene. I had really tight parameters (2G stud, superior, no gene licenses my giftee didn't have, etc) and I just messaged a couple people who had the genes I was looking for in their programs. @Visions sent me a straw from an Ice stud who had been deceased since 2014 to pair with a mare I had, and @CBarton helped me by custom breeding a 3G filly in house because I asked if they had any 3G superior fillies for sale. I had two perfect foals to add outside blood to my giftee's new Ice lines.

    Also I just really love the artwork. I love my pixel ponies so much, and I always feel so proud after completing a new GMT project. And then the community celebrates with you when you post about them!

    I would nominate both players I tagged (Visions and CBarton) for being hugely helpful and kind.

  • I love that we have a Gift Exchange, just the fact that it is literally about giving gifts to other players, and not a popularity contest or about who spent the most on their giftee. And who I think deserves a prize is HorseAngel.

  • I joined this game originally 4 years ago on HJ2 under the account Baya. I messed up royally and got my self banned, I came back a year ago ( almost 2) and asked ammit forgiveness and if I was allowed back. She graciously allowed me back and I have since built my barn to the point it is now and have worked extremely hard.

    I have spent quite a bit of rl money but not as much as most people. And like Oscar said I don’t pay because it’s pay to play, I pay to help ammit support her family. It helps her with her medical bills. It’s her livelihood and I want to help her as much as I can.

    My faveorite thing about this game is the gift exchanges. This Christmas I loved finding things for my giftees to cherish and love. My lvl one gifted was easy to shop for, I had horses taht fit her criteria. I sent them over and then I GMt’d A mare for her that was flashy like she wanted (I was quite proud of how the mare turned out). My second level giftee was Johara who I’m good friends with. I have her a lot of thing including a GMT’d out with a bang mare, a kings ransom mare and quite a few brown mares. Overall I loved getting the me both both!

    I nominate @Johara for just being a good friend overall and being a great person. And the second person is @ Stone Silo Farm for exceeding my expectations for my level 1 gift. The stallion they gave me was a whole bunch of what I love in this game (DP Appaloosas are the best).

    The artwork is great and the game mechanics are great too! I definatly would nominate both those players.

  • I nominate ChateauAlbere who took the true spirit of the season and "paid it forward" to her SS giftee. This is the true meaning of the season.

  • I originally joined this game after learning about it from a fellow Equine Science major. I absolutely love the genetics aspect of this game!

    But what really hits home is the community. So many members have been so kind to me that I’ve completely lost track.

    I’m autistic. Communication of any kind is a serious struggle for me. It’s hard enough for me to interact with people in the real world. It’s even harder to try and do that through a screen where I can’t attempt to pick up on subtle social cues like tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language.

    Because of my communication issues, I get into a lot of fights when I have no clue why a person reacts negatively to something I’ve said (my mom says these are just disagreements, but to me they are fights). It’s extremely stressful for me because I don’t understand why my friends are upset and they’re too angry to tell me.

    On here it’s different. While my social skills very slightly improve bit by bit as I get older, I have unfortunately gotten into several “scuffles” (oh, I like that, I’ve gotta remember that one) with other players. Every time it’s been something I did, but also something I don’t understand. Every time this happens we make up and all is forgiven, but people on here actually take the time to explain to me exactly what I said or did that made them upset and why it had that effect on them. That kind of knowledge is invaluable to me and I’m so thankful that this community is kind enough to be patient with me and help me grow.

    I nominate @CrowsnestRidge. He gave me permission to do a Christmas version of his Halloween contest, which allowed me to interact with so many unfamiliar members of the community. It also allowed me to really let loose with my creative writing, and the compliments I received on my writing made me cry tears of joy!
    I’m autistic and I struggle with any kind of communication, so I apologize in advance if I say anything rude or offensive because there’s a 99% chance that I have no clue I did it. I appreciate your patience with me!
  • I joined the game because my Niece introduced me to it. I like the fact that I learn new things about the horses every time I play the game. I also love the fact that any one on here is more than willing to help out in any way they can, be it information or how to get that information or with gifts of what ever kind. And if they can not help they can point you in the way to get help. And people give gifts with out saying hey look what I did or wanting something in return. The people in this game are so very kind. Thank you for the chance to win. If I get a gift that is ok and if not thats ok too.

    I think MeadowSun1 deserves a gift.
  • I'd like to nominate White Valley. She introduced me to this game, and the wonderful world of horses. She answers my more or less "stupid" question, and is always very helpful.

    Im a very new player (two weeks). Until I joined the game I had no knowledge about horses. I knew that there were mares, stallions and foals... Nevertheless, I used to enjoy horse shows on the TV.

    I became very fascinated of the terminology used here, and I think this terminology is based on the real life's. Now, as I'm completely unfamiliar with this terminology, I start with translating them to my own language. Thereafter, I search the net in order to get the explanation of these words. I'm a good learner (:

    I'm sure I'll be a member of this fascinating world for a long time. I also appreciate the friendly atmosphere among the members of the game.

  • It's been a long, hard year and I am so grateful for Hunt and Jump and the people here. I love this game, this community, and it has helped me though when life is hard. It gives me something to look forward to when things are bad(and all the things that are good too).

    Everyone here is so amazing and caring. This community takes such great care of each other, I'm not sure what I would do without the amazing amount of love & support that I have found here! It really can't compare to any where else. I have been here a year n a half and have no intentions of stopping now! The overwhelming generosity & kindness is really something special and I am certainly glad to be a part of it.

    This community is the best part, it really feels like others come together to help celebrate your own triumphs with you and comes together to help others in need. I have been so grateful for the support, the payers, and the kind words here, everyday though this year and I have not found a better place or a safer place to share how you feel on a game, with the warmth & openess other than on this one amazing game! Learning about genes (which first drew me here) and loving horses is just a really cool bonus!


    One of the greatest things on here(besides the people) would be the yearly Gift Exchange, where we all celebrate the true spirit of giving with each other and help to make anothers day just that much better!


    I couldn't join SS this time, with everything that was going on I was too overwhelmed and didn't have the time to put into it, but none the less when my family all were layed off and I couldn't afford to put anything gene wise myself on a stallion of mine, @Jessj & @AbsoluteWow each put one copy of Ice 20 on him for me! I was sooo surprised that I could have cried! And when I was having a hard time coping (my aunt is in the hospital with Covid and it was touch and go for awhile) @ichigo donated enough hbs to me to help finish a different project stud, which had really helped brighten my day too! This just goes to show how amazing this community is!

    So I would like to nominate them(those who I tagged here) and if I can, I would also like to nominate @Wolvevenfrost, who was also having a hard time and could use some good cheer I think!

    Thank you all for everything and being such wonderful members! Honestly I would nominate everyone here with all the help I had gotten when I was just starting out! :)

  • My favorite thing about HAJ has to be the community! Everyone is always so helpful and so kind! I would like to nominate @CBarton. When I was new they gave me some free show ponies! I am so sorry if I have forgotten about something nice you have done to everyone one else who has helped me out. Thank you!

  • Community community community ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^
    I started playing in July. Had no clue how or what I was doing, it was a sea pony theme with the Jelly fish contest. I was not paying attention to how it all worked. I was like a kid in a candy store with no supervision! I got some direction from MasterStablesMS. They helped me GM the perfect Jellyfish mare. I did not know I had won the contest with my perfect mare. So I logged out and logged back in the next day and WOW... had a ton of prizes and money. Not knowing I posted in the forum asking where it all had come from. I was directed to check the contest announcements. Boy did I feel silly. Needless to say I still had no idea what I was doing. I spent all that winnings in no time. I now have a small understanding of the game and how things work. I could really kick my self in the backside for blowing all them GMTs and HBs. I have come out my shell personally by asking questions and posting in the forum. I have many people I would love to nominate.
    I have gotten many responses from many on here and I respect everyone of you! Thank you for your kindness and generosity! So with that being said I would like to nominate @MasterStablesMS for helping me win the Jellyfish contest when I was acting like a 5 year old.
    Thank you for your giveaway in advance.
    Love this community :x

    Because hbs are meant to be spent, I've sent every poster here a bit of hbs. @HomebushCreek I'll pm you, you're too young of an account to send hbs directly. :)

    Keep the posts coming! :-bd

  • I've been around for couple years and the one thing that has kept me here that other games couldn't was the community. I love scrolling through the forum and seeing all the different topics and the friendliness of the community. It's refreshing compared to other games where people can just be rude. This game has really become a safe space for me to come to when needed and helps me relax.
    Another thing that I love is how inclusive Ammit is for everyone. IE: special hh for different religous holodays. Although, I celebrate the main American holidays it's nice to see a game support other people's veiws, too. And the all the new genes and events ran to help people through covid.
    The player I would nomonate is @HorseAngle. Although, I havent have any personal interaction with them (cause I'm super introverted so I dont post much) I always see them trying to help others understand the game throughout the forum.

  • Not sure if I’m too late or not but what I love about this game is hands down the community! I had no idea what I was doing when I first started (I still don’t sometimes) but everyone has been so helpful! I have never felt uncomfortable asking questions. The fact that so many people are so quick to help out either with advice, giving away HBs (like you!), helping with a GMT project, etc. is amazing to me! I really hope that in the future, as my barn grows, I will be able to help out other players as well.

    The genetics in this game are also so amazing! That’s another reason I love this game, I haven’t found any others that can compare. And Ammit is also the best!

    Even if I am too late to enter the contest, I still want to give a shoutout to this amazing community!
  • I would also like to nominate @ZahhaksMyWitness because they were an amazing gifter and exceeded expectations during my first Gift Exchange :-)
  • Thank you so, so much @Johara !
  • Choosing a winner was *really* hard because all of these entries were fantastic and heartfelt.

    The 500k winner is @OscarWildin, congratulations!

    The nominated players I am going with are @Wolvevenfrost and @HorseAngel - you both may choose any 20 straws from any of my horses you'd like! I will also send some hb's your way, too. :)


    I will try to send everyone a little something at the very least, just give me a little while as I sort some stuff out. Thank you so much for your entries and I hope everyone has a blessed and fulfilling New Year!
