Hi ECC! I'd like to announce my seventh weekly giveaway contest here on the forums! How it works is each week I'll be holding a new giveaway with 3 winners. This week's prizes are now the following; --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Place Winner: 50,000$ (Winner nicoviacava1210) 2nd Place Winner: 35,000$ (Winner mandzy101) 3rd Place Winner: 15,000$ (Winner williamannin) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Winners are selected and announced on Sunday, so make sure to have your applications in by then! If you want to be entered in the contest simply comment on this thread using the following format! You do NOT need to like this post to be entered. Keep in mind, winners are not chosen randomly, so take your time filling out your application. IGN: Rank(s): Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Other: Attention! Previous Winners are aloud to apply again, but are not able to win the same place prize they've won previously. For example, if you've already won 2nd Place, you are not able to win 2nd Place again, but could win 1st or 3rd. Our previous Winners are listed below. (Holy crud there's a lot of them xD) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous 1st Place Winners: oreo1227, avowin, cahlawat1, Xx5mike5xX, blowtube123, Revanrose6 Previous 2nd Place Winners: Mr_Doom_Bringer, sparkleypotato2, Quieted, Anvildash, scottmichaelj, 12345shane Previous 3rd Place Winners: scepter01, voiD_yO, maco20047, Vintage_Gamer, AlphaTimer, Charger2417 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you who would like to know how the selection works, let me explain to you! I'll be using a point system to "grade" each and every applicant. There's a maximum score of 30 Points. You'll be able to receive 15 Points for the "Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?" question, 10 Points for the "What do you plan on using the money/resources for?" question, and 5 Points for the amount of effort put into the application (I generally want to avoid 2 word answers). Now most giveaways I have seen are usually won by staff members. I love the staff team here, and fully appreciate what they do for the server, but I don't want to always be giving prizes to staff, this giveaway is meant for the whole server. Therefore, I'll be giving staff members a bonus of 5 points. This way they receive credit for the contribution to the server without causing too much of an imbalance. Feedback is greatly appreciated! Feel free to give it in the "Other" section of your application of a PM! (Extra Points Maybe?) *Bonus Points* Go check out my town thread here, comment what you think of it in the thread, and get some brownie points for taking the time out of your day!
Yes! I snagged the first reply! IGN: mandzy101 Rank(s): Mayor, Survivor Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I've been on ECC for a year and a half now, and I love it here. I am a kind person, have a lot of friends, and I have helped many a new player on ECC. I donate to worthy causes. The money will be used in a good way! (see below) I really want to be able to help my friends out! Thanks. What do you plan on using the money/recourses for?: If I win, I will use the money to buy TP donation so I can TP people to my town and give $5 tps to all! I only need like 10k at the moment, so the rest of the money will go to all of my great friends who have helped me get to where I am today, like pat2100 oreo1227 corranhorn1 and Bubba_bubba They all helped me in huge ways, and I really like them for that. I try to pay them back as best I can (giving them all 1k, Helping corran place dirt for his town, etc.) but I never feel done helping. So if I win, I will take what I need for TP, and give rest of the money to my friends. They will all get unlimited TPs from me of course also some of the money will go right back to falcon so he can do more givaways. Other: Thanks to Falconaire for doing all these givaways! he has done so much for the community, as using all the funds that he put in these givaways, he could have bought President, a town portal and so much more! If I win, I pledge to give some money back to him, as he definatley deserves it! Thanks for reading everyone!
IGN:Shotgunboy0130 Rank(s):Mayor, Nether, $$$ Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I have made many competitions for giving away donation features and the amount of features i have given away is worth alot more than 100k, and something in return would be really nice so that's why i'm applying here. I know falconaire has given away huge amounts of money and i would like a chance at winning, even if i get 3rd place, it is still something. I know many people apply for this and that my chances are pretty low but it doesn't hert to try. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?:At the moment i am banned but hopefully will be unbanned soon, i hope this doesn't keep me out of the running, but i don't have time to make money, but many know that a mod lwcd all my stuff, after telling me they wouldn't, it was at-least 100k worth of stuff, (60k worth of tools, and the other 40k accounts for the amount of materials i had stashed away), but once i get back on i intend to build a mansion for physicistmom and jakeyray18, once i finish with theirs i will build mine, but since i lost everything they have helped me out astronomically in giving me some land to build on, so what ever amount i win, will go towards building them houses and my self a house. Other:With soccer, football, training, and home work, i dont have time to go farm for 4 hours a day or mine for 6 hours straight, many of my irl activities keep me behind on making money to do things on ecc, so with this giveaway i will be able to do the things i need, such as build houses with out having to spend hours farming, just to build the house. Thanks for the many opportunity's you are giving what you do is great and i would love to win.
IGN: Fredrik_3000 Rank(s): President/survivor/ $ Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: i should be chosen because i have worked hard on ecc and the most people have worked hard but i have played ecc very much and i should be chosen because i have never won a lottery and i have never got a super lucky on vote i got only once lucky on votin so i really hope that i been chosed. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I am planing on use my money for ext commands + or on my new farm that i am building. Other: i would thank falconair again for holding this competition.
IGN: CHOMPIN_02 Rank(s): President, Aether, Nether, [$$$] Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I should be chosen as a winner because I really need some money. I also really like you as a friend. It would be a real honor if I was chosen to win this contest for money. I love how you do these each week thanks dude. I really love how your so nice. I need this money. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I am buying donations. I want a custom tag. Other: Nothing, Thanks dude. Just thanks
IGN: williamannin Rank(s): Resident, $ Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Although NOBODY deserves to receive free money, I feel that I should be chosen as a winner for many reasons. First of all, I often see various builders being rudely spoken to and treated. Like everyone else here, I was also a builder before and feel bad for other players. I have farmed nonstop for the past 3 weeks, and have earned a good amount of money. Also, other people IRL have told me that I am a very kind person. Even in the Minecraft universe, I still care for others. For example, I have helped 4 builders get started in the server directly. I have helped many, many others by answering questions. My final goal is to build a town that will be friendly to not only builders, but any other player who needs some help (regardless of rank.) However, the cost of mayorship is quite hefty, at 85k. In order to reach my goal, I would need quite a bit more money. I am half way there, and am optimal of soon receiving the mayorship rank with additional funds. I never spend my money wastefully on the lottery, and instead save it for useful needs like portals, towns, etc. I thank Falconaire dearly for helping me settle in Aquila, and helping me get to know other players. His giveaways have benefited many people recently, and I feel that some additional funds for my mayorship may expedite the time needed for my goals. Aquila is a beautiful town, and I hope to create a town like it (with Falcon's permission) sometime in the near future! I again thank Falconaire for giving me the opportunity of an ECC lifetime! What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: As I stated previously, I would dedicate all of the money towards building a friendly town to players of all ranks and ages. I would include a farm, plots, pvp arena, town portal, and much more. Even though there are more than 1000 towns on ECC today, many are empty and inactive. I would ensure that my town remains active through funding and activities. Unfortunately, maintaining active towns cost money and time. With my current balance (40k) I would be unable to fund it for more than a month or so, and so this giveaway money would provide a very large boost. I currently own a home in a town named Minastirith. It once was very active (2 months ago), but the mayors have begun to lose interest in ECC. The town is made up primarily of players who are inactive for longer than 1 week. I wish to ensure that my town never falls into disarray like France, or inactivity like Minastirith. Other: Many thanks to Falconaire for his generous giveaways! I do not know what I would do without him! Falconaire is the first person on ECC who has held such generous giveaways. He has earned all of this money by sheer effort (No lotto) and is giving it away. By far, Falconaire is among the nicest people on ECC. Very few people are this generous, and I take this into account. Again, thank you so much for helping out others on ECC!
IGN:12345shane Rank(s):President, Pilot Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?:I do many things for the server other's can't. I help, I try to at least. If people need plots I give it to them, if people need assistance I give them assistance. If they don't know something, or need to know something for say an application I direct them to the wiki. As well I have been working on a top-secret project of mine where I am going to be building something to assist the poor for free, but the project might not happen even if I win this giveaway due to time. Though it might, it also might not. My time is very limited due to school. I don't have the time I need to do things. Though, I have helped people when I can if they just need $100 for a few diamonds, or just need some money for an application. I'm not perfect, but I try to be nice unless they aren't to others. Other people are very mean to me, and I try not to be like that to others. As you, falconaire, know I try to be nice to the public of ecc and make it a semi-friendly environment. Not all dictatorship servers are perfect, because ecc is more like a dictatorship than anything else, most definitely not being a democracy. In my time, I have been building some things for the residents of my town in secret, that no one knows about. I hope they like it but even though they might not, I hope they do. And by the way, if anyone needs help in-game just ask, I don't have much of a use for netherstars too so falconaire you know you can always ask me if you need an extra 6 What do you plan on using the money/resources for?:Donation Features I want to use this money for donation features because I've always wanted ext+, pyro, and pyro+. These donation features would serve me greatly in the long run, and would serve others too in the long run being people in my town would like erepairs and some would like to get fire or lava placed. Investing/SavingI would like to invest my money in something, say loans or building things, or just saving my money for the future. My current balance would be enough to sustain many people for extended amounts of time, and it staying that way is a very good thing to have.Other:These giveaways are the most generous thing anyone has ever done on ecocitycraft, and I want to thank you for that falconaire. If not for you, who would? I'm sure everyone is grateful for these giveaways you are doing, as I am. (As I said at the end of why I should be picked you can always ask me for 6 nstars from voting if I'm not busy, as I know you're trying to get something)
Ign: Hilv rank Mayor$$ Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I should be chosen as a winner because I really need some money. And yea thats it oh and i am an awesome ecocity fan but very poor i hope i win 2end or 1st thats meh goal What would i do will the money: I would still save up because i will need 65-80k for a town and any left over money i would use it for gear and building goods so thats why i hope to be picked. Other: You rock even more if you pick me to win so i beg you pick me to win! PlS
IGN: SlashxmE Rank(s): Resident Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I think I should be chosen as a winner because i'm playing with a friend,and its hard to get money to pay for both of us,this money will help us greatly and perhaps it would help us to advance in this game. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I will buy a Resident rank for my friend and the rest of the money will be for our savings. Other:
IGN: nicoviacava1210 Ranks(s): [Resident] Why you should be chosen as a winner?: Ok, here I go. I have been in many giveaways of Falconaire and I really love how generous he is. The reasons I should be chosen are a lot. I always try to help in Aquila and in all ECC. My start here in ECC, I thought like this is MASSIVE! In those times I lived in the wild but I never gave even if I was poor or in the ruins but I kept on. I started meeting awesome friends in here. I joined different towns but one really caught my attention. That's where I started making friends. Helping, enjoying, laughing was the main things I did. Another one is I love this server, I literally don't enter any other servers. In one of these applications I did I mentioned the Word "fairness". I'm always fair with people because they are awesome. I learned a lot about friendship and fairness in one particular server that I was staff. I'm a loyal member of this lovely community. and I'm willing to do anything for it! Another reason it's that I always work hard and do my best effort for at least get some money but I'm still happy. I'm always respectful and honest and I have never broke any rules. For example, I always say "hi" to people and ask how are them. And when they say good I turn happy knowing that my friend is good and when they say they are bad or sad I ask them why and try to cheer them up! And when someone asks me something I'm happy to answer! What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Well, there are quite some reasons. One is to save for my Mayor fund in my future town making awesome projects and selling cheap plots for people to have a nice, warm home. Another one is to give money to the poor as I always say. Some lower ranks maybe they aren't so good from the outside but the good things are in the heart. I'm not telling only lower ranks are like this and I know a lot of Tycoons, EcoLeaders, Presidents, Mayors and everyone who are like this! So donating maybe will make some people out there happy! Another thing is buy building materials for my future town. If I get the town it's name will be Tavania. In a summary saving money for good causes and good things! I rarely play lotto with only 1 ticket hoping to get some money. That's all I have to say! (Maybe editing this post to add more things soon). Other: The biggest hug for Falco and a lifetime hand shake for doing these giveaways. This shows us how a great person he is and how generous he is. He could have put this money for himsef. But no he decided to give the money to the ECC community. It reminds of the story Chirstmas Carol at the end when the old man gives all the money to other people! Good luck for everyone and the best wishes from me! Now some things about me in real life. I love to read, watch movies, play Minecraft and a ton other things. In my school I have won some awards and got exellent grades! I'm very excited because my birthday is in 13 days! I'm counting the days! I love animals so in the future I want to be a biologist. That's all folks! The best of luck to everyone!
IGN: Steveshizzle Rank(s): President Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I'm currently working on my president town and progress has been getting nowhere fast, primarily due to a lack of funding. I plan on building a large cityscape, complete with an operating and above-ground light rail system, several pvp arenas, a mall, an upper class neighborhood with mansions and such, and a 100+ block tall model of the Sears Tower at the center of it all. I've estimated the total cost of my project to be around 600k, so any donation, big or small helps a ton. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Everything I just said above, as well as investing in opportunities for others via my spot on TheHockeyKids' Dragon's Den committee which helps ECC entrepreneurs get the funding for their projects. Other: I donated for you. Don't forget that. *slides $20 bill across table*
IGN:captainwow12 Rank(s):President Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?:I believe I should be chosen as winner because I work hard for things on ECC and truly I need a break. Its a amazing thing your doing every week for ECC users to have a chance at some money they need. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?:All money will be used towards my project Oakridge Downs Horse racing and stables, I am 35k away from getting a portal and I still need to buy more materials like wood and glass.None of this money will be put into lotto. Other: Well I've just gotta say this is a amazing thing your doing and good lucky to everyone.
IGN: Potato Rank(s): Potato n potatoes Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Potatoes potatoes potatoes... What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Potatoes Other: Potato TRANSLATION: IGN: Avowin Rank(s): Mayor, Survivor Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: There are many reasons that I think I should deserve being a winner. Actually, I just lied there. None of us REALLY deserve to win this. But apart from that, there are quite a few reasons that I could be put above others. One is how nice I can be to others. I have already given 2 builders resident, which even though it set me back on my way to presidentcy, I feel pretty good about it. I also think I should win because as you know I don't have any donation features. I might, after I get president, use some of this money for donation features. Also, I would like to donate to some other players soon for all the help they have done for me, as I feel that I owe them something for all that they have done for me. I would like my president town, with help from this money, to help other players that need a home. If you read my app before, you saw what my town wil be like. Well, here is hopefully a, "shorter", version, but has a senerio with it. So lets say that you are a builder that needs a house. You talk to me and I give you a small house (don't know what sizes yet) for about 1k. You do not have to pay it right away (like animal crossing, but you do have a maximum to pay it fully off), but the sooner the better. Now you think that you want the size of your house bigger, I will make it bigger for more of a price, lets say 2k. Now if you pay that off, you can make it bigger and bigger etc, or you can get the exterior changed. This is just a little of what my town will be like, as I do not want this alot bigger. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I plan on using the resources on my loaning company, president, people, and items for later on Other: Thank you Falconaire for doing 7 GIVEAWAYS IN A ROW! you are awesome at this, for giving away 100k a week, when you could EASILY get something else, like an nstar item or new ranks! You are totally epic. Also, goodluck to all the others!
IGN: Pdegnan1 Rank(s): Mayor,Resident,Builder,None Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I think I should be chosen for many reasons. I think I should be chosen because im a ginger. Gingers are unlucky in lotto.I have never won it once. I also have an amazing job but my pay was cut and so im going to be living on the streets very soon. If I win this my town will be complete soon. Also I am shooting for the stars, being like solacedevotio. She has done so much for me and I want to give back to her by helping other people too. I also (when the mayor is not on) watch over a chat so that takes some time I can make oney away but I get payed for being mayor so I basically get payed to watch the chat. I also think im better than everyone else because of how I donate to random people who say like I need 100! when I can spare some. Thanks for reading this long sarcastic/serious paragraph. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I plan on using it for donation features and my town and buying other towns. I will also use it to give presents to my friends who have given me presents (especially the ones with no style!) I will also use it for maybe a melon sword or an eff 7 pick. I think mostly everyone will use the money in the same way EXCEPT PEOPLE WILL USE ON LOTTERRYYYY AND WASTE IT. I wont :3. Also 3+3=6 Other: WHY U BE FALCON U MUST BE MORE THAN FALCON U MUST BE A FALCONAIRE!!! IF U NOT A FALCONAIRE I WILL TAKE UR MOMMAY. now give me money
IGN:DrCreeperSlayer Rank(s): Mayor Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I believe that I should be chosen as winner because I have a farm system going on in my town and I have a lot planned to make this happen. I am hoping to create something better than skyfarms, make a name for farming. But, as any expierienced ECC player knows, things like this cost lots of money. It will probably take about a good 30k to complete, so I am not asking for much. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I will be using the resources and money I get to create a plot world called RentaFarm. This will be a place where people will be able to rent out a farm plot for money for a certain amount of time. These farms are all Semi-Automatic and profit the user. Once these can get started, I will charge 5k-10k for a five day "pass" per say. They will choose which farm they want and what type it will be. Each farm's design makes it so that the user can grow that type of crop on it. The doors will be privated (If I get enough money, I will make cmodified gates) so that the user can own his or her own farm and manage it. This will teach the people of the server how hard it is to farm and that even a builder can earn themselves money by working hard. Other: I believe that this giveaway is a great way to let people express how they feel about the server, and put it down with words. I have to say, this helps lots of people every week when you do this, by giving away your own money that you earned all by yourself. Thanks for making the ECC community great and helping the people who need it. Even if I dont win, at least someone else who needed the money more than I got it. Signed, DrCreeperSlayer
IGN: oxwood2 Rank(s): mayor $ Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I should be chosen because I am starting to become more helpful and active on this server. I have never been complained against or banned for any reason. I try to stay low key and avoid trouble. Honestly, I lost my melon sword and need help getting the money back from losing it. You are so nice and helpful to plays on this server. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I plan on buy an eff 7 pickaxe or melon sword. I don't want president right now, so that isn't an option. I also could use the money to buy a spawnshop. Other: I heart you for this
IGN: 7amoodw Rank(s): [*Tycoon*][VIP] and [Pilot] and [survivor] Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I have done alot to the communitty during my almost 2 years on Ecc [few days and it is 2 years ]. I have helped people rank up by offering help with the funds or the application itself-guiding them where to apply and how to apply etc. I have made so many friend on ecc and i am grateful for this thank you @BackToThePast , @xLegend_Killer , @officepwnz123 and @xOSneakyBaconOx for all the support <3. During my two years I didnt really win alot .-. and i dont have a problem with this but yet again i dont have a problem with that. It would be awesome to actually win something for once and really the amount of time I spent on Ecc is alot [10+ hours in the summer and 3+ in normal school days ] I am trying to get Ecoleader at the moment [It is worth it by the way!] and would really love to win for that main reason. Thanks for doing these competitions that you hold, really genorous of you. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Like i stated before i want to get ecoleader since that is my main goal on Ecc *you dont say * and im not getting this rank alone, i am getting it with my brother @shadowballxx1 so the money would really be helpful <3 Other: Once again thank you for doing these competitions really helpful AND @officepwnz123 <3
IGN: oreo1227 Rank(s): Mayor, Aether, Nether, [$$$$] Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I believe I should be chosen to win because I have helped others get ranked up, and I feel now it is my turn to finally rank up to president. I am working very hard on it, and I need that extra boost. I have helped people get resident, mayor and president! What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I am buying president 111k left at this moment! Other: I have only used prize moneys to help others, I think a prize money for myself for once wouldn't be bad . You're awesome for doing this. Congrats to whomever gets the money.
IGN: Original_Jackson Rank(s): Mayor, Nether, [$$$$] Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Because I have spent so much money on building a town and giving Builders free plots, I recently started collecting personal use money since the town materials have been bought. I have been on ECC for 4 months and I have been scammed 580k, so any money from this would a huge help to me so I can get so more money back infamy account. What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Either buying more town materials or saving for eff7 pick (i have 340k) Other: good luck to all an I hope my application is worthy enough!
