    I've decided to do a giveaway, as it's the season of giving and I feel like all I've been giving lately has been my bad side. As the title says, the prize is $20,000, and about tree fiddy in addition to that. Unlike most of the giveaways lately, I'd like to see a more traditional "Why I deserve this money" sort of contest. This is because I feel that people shouldn't get their money by luck, but by earning it. And quite honestly I wish I could enter another one of these style of contests myself. Anyway, the contest ends on the 24th and the winner will be announced on Christmas. Keep in mind that creativity as well as generosity (to an extent) will play a role in my deciding of the winner. Also - EcoMasters and higher are excluded from the contest, as I don't feel they need money. Sorry, @oxwood2 and @Phantomine. You could have saved ranking up until later :p Anyway - to enter, please follow this format:

    Username:
    Rank:
    Why do you deserve the money, and what will you use it for? Please explain in detailed sentences or a paragraph:
    Are there any other users who you feel deserve the money? List them here, and be sure to use @ to tag them:

    Also - I understand that this isn't as big as MSU's event, but I wanted there to be some sort of way for the gifted writers to be rewarded.

    Why do you deserve the money, and what will you use it for? Please explain in detailed sentences or a paragraph:

    Quite frankly, I deserve this money no more than anyone else. A builder is honestly far more deserving than me, at least then they would hopefully be able to buy a plot, and achieve the rank of resident, starting their ECC journey. However, I'd really enjoy this money to assist with the expansion of my nation, Meow Nation, ( Tinyurl.com/meowcity or /warp meowcity to check it out yourself!). It would help extremely well with buying a resident mayor so I can add a town to the nation or assisting with material costs.

    I also do free donation services for all users, ranging from teleports, water, pyro, Ereps and more! And of course I moderate ECC, helping out users and giving them the best EcoCityCraft experience possible! :)

    Thanks so much for doing this give away Sub! Yeah you may have had a bad couple of days, but as some famous person once said who I can't remember the name of, "Do not let your past define who you are. What counts is what you decide to do with your future." Actually, that was from a book series called The Blood of Eden. Sorry, I get books mixed up with other things sometimes...


    Are there any other users who you feel deserve the money?

    @Black_Cod35 - He's a great friend who's always willing to help, yet struggles with money making itself. He often will donate large sums when he could really use the money himself, for example, purchasing a simple maxed pickaxe, so many of us take those small things for granted.

    @SimsElemental - An amazing friend who is always there to listen to me ramble, and we have lots of fun discussing books. P.S I preordered Lady Midnight and A court of mist and fury today, so excited for it!

    @icondigi - Another excellent friend who puts in a massive amount of effort into his job as a moderator, always willing to help the community.

    And finally, @SuburbSomeone, even though they're not participating in the give away, but I'm mentioning them because they're amazing and always willing to help, even through their ups and downs. :)

    Thanks so much for doing this Sub!

    I think I deserve the money because I have ECC spirit!
    If I had won the $20 003.50, I'd invest the money into another town, generally set toward new people (Builders Residents) or people who just need a head start and help to get back into ECC again. $20 003.50 would make an excellent down payment to a nice town for the Project.

    I don't really think that anyone should deserve money, but I could use it greatly. I will invest it all into my ECDS (EcoCityDeliveryService), I won't be using it to buy Christmas gifts for myself and never for debt (as I don't have any). I really appreciate this giveaway and how it actually takes time to enter in.

    @2ndCrostoShinobi - He gave me a home when I had just re-joined a couple weeks ago. He also helped me with my town I had bought shortly after.

    @HippieBumbleBee - She helped me flatten my town and didn't charge. She also helped me build my new home.

    I would find something for every ECC user if I could, but I wouldn't want to blow-up this thread. ECC is one of the more friendlier servers of minecraft, if not the friendliest!

      • I will use this money for giving interests-free loans to Builders. Builders are those who need micro-credit more, but at the same time they need to learn diligence and show effort. That's why I won't just donate it to them, nothing comes free in this world, and that's also why I won't give it to just any random Builder: they will be required to fill an app, clearly stating what they will be using the money for, how long for and how they plan to make it back. Having them give it back will also allow me to use the same money to help more Builders. I will add 10k of my own money to this basket as well.

      • Most of those I know are ranked Mayor or higher and probably don't need this money. Then there's a lot of Builders who might need it, but I can't really tag all of them here, they're too many

    Instead of me actually me trying to explain why I need the money, which i actually don't as I am a Tycoon with everything I need, I would like to nominate someone because I know a few people who would really appreciate the money and who deserve it.
    @DexNumber637 personally deserves the money as he is a very helpful user, someone who is very polite and well mannered whenever I or @Ladyvamptress are around him, so its not just a one off. He is also looking to rank up to Mayor and try and grow and become a player of this community. I am sure that when he does get Mayor, he would be one of those players who will give back to the community and help others as he has experienced being helped on the server.
    Players like this are few and far between and are desperately needed on the server to help to community grow.

    Thank you

    Great users have played on ECC for years now, and I won't even feign the vanity required to put myself above them. However, I would like to present myself as a candidate for this giveaway. Since joining Economy City Craft, I have loved the mechanics of the server. The real draw for me, however, has always been the community. That is why, ever since I made enough money for it to make a difference, I have tried to help out new players, as well as players that, while maybe not the newest of folks, could use the help. Recently, I decided to try and help users excel on this server. I started by loaning out about 250k in total for about 20% interest with about a month between the loan and the payback. This will hopefully allow the users to use the money to benefit themselves without too much pressure on making the money to pay the loans back.

    The effort I have put into helping other players, though considerable, is nothing in comparison to the effort I make to beautify the server. I've joined many towns, becoming a co-mayor in quite a few(@_NIAGARA_ and @Alinator13 will testify to this :D ). In all the towns, I have tried to help build, whether it be by buying many plots and transforming them into a large display mansion for my netherstar collection(as I did in @RyanBlocks2 's town) or by building beachside condominiums(As I did in @_NIAGARA_ 's town).

    In total, I have spent about 150K ECD building. While I love the work, and am proud of the end results, it has been rather draining on my balance to maintain such high expenditures without completely sacrificing my time on ECC to grinding out cash. It is for that reason that I apply, although it may be selfish. I simply wish to be able to do a better, more efficient job on ECC, and have more fun doing it.

    Thank you for your consideration!

    Well this would all be going toward my the new town next to mine. All the money would be given to the current owner oootopia so she is able to apply for a warp for her town. That's pretty much it.
