    Hi ECC, I'd like to host a weekly giveaway contest here on the forums in order to give back to the community that has given me so much over these last few months. How it'll work is each week I'll be holding a new giveaway with 3 winners. The prizes are the following;

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1st Place Winner: 15,000$ (won by oreo1227)
    2nd Place Winner: 10,000$ (won by Mr_Doom_Bringer)
    3rd Place Winner: 64 diamonds + 128 Iron Ingots (won by @Specter01)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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!

    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:

    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?)

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I like to build stuff, simple stuff. I'm not much of a gambling addict, pvp master, or any of that insane stuff. I collect money simply to build. I mean, that's Minecraft, right? I will take any amount of money given to me and try to make the best with what I have to it and add more to the map besides a farm.What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I plan to use the money to build a daycare center next to my portal at RhenVar to help some people on our server learn more about education and how better it would be if we could all get along. Either that or build a plane with the name Falconaire on it. ^^
    Other: Btw I'm going to school tomorrow! :(

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner: Because I try to be nice to the community, don't have one complaint against me, but other than that, I'm no different from everyone else, and I would consider it and honer if you would chose me.
    what do you plan on using the money/Resources for:Every cent will go to my mayor fund which currently is at 70k, none of it will go to lottery because, i have never once played lottery, and don't plan to do so. Also, might I add, that wether you give me the money or not, in my town you will be added to my love wall for always being so kind and responding to my posts.
    Other: I know about of people has posted and I do not have much of a chance, but I would be honored if you choose me.!

    Thank you Falconaire -SimonSib

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I wouldn't be using the money for myself
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I plan on using money for paying off a melon sword because my friend lost his, and I want to get the money for him to buy another because I care a lot about him and want him to stay on the server. If I get the resources I would consider selling them to get money to pay for said melon sword. I am devoting all my money toward that thing and every little bit helps.
    Other: Thanks for the opportunity for me to possible earn money, though others will likely get it Falconaire . Congrats to whoever wins!

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I have worked hard on farming and mining and probably have earned enough if it wasnt for being the most unlucky lottery person ever(lost 20k to 1 ticket) and been scammed of 7k and lost 20k of armor and pvp stuff walking around in mining world and falling into a deep hole.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Get myself a town by getting mayor and helping builders by selling plots to them for 750 instead of 1k
    Other: Thanks for taking time to read my post!

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner: There is no particular reason why I should be chosen over anyone else, I have nothing to strive for like president. The main reason why I want the money is so I can do basic economy tasks, but also so I can give some back to the community.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Half the money would likely be kept for basic economic needs, and the other half would likely be given away at various times to builders who need resident or etc. As for resources, I would probably sell the iron to Revanrose6 for project Normandy, and keep the diamonds for myself. :)
    Other: Bacon is delicious. :)

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Well, people think I'm always just the rich person who lottos all the time, well the truth is, I'm not like that any more. Lately I've been getting into farming and earning money in different ways, and I believe I could put the 25k into good use.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Well currently I'm buying all the netherstars I can for a melon sword, and this 25k would be a huge boost!
    Other: Not really, best of luck to all of the other applicants :)

    Rank(s): My ingame ranks are President and Survivor.

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I think I should be chosen because I have been on EcoCityCraft for almost a year. I play daily, usually farming, mining, or building farms. Occasionally after I win a big lottery, I would give some away to the community.

    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Currently I have 1 goal, to get Tycoon as soon as possible, and the 25K prize would be extremely helpful.

    Other: N/A
