    So after my phase of indecisiveness, I have made the decision to do a giveaway and put off my future plans for now. Seeing the community and the great things that come from it makes me want to give back. The ECC community deserves to receive. Although $65k can be a lot of money (to some users that is), it's nothing close to what everyone deserves.

    Here is how the prize will be distributed. There will be 3 winners.
    1st Place: $35,000 EcoDollars

    2nd Place: $20,000 EcoDollars

    3rd Place: $10,000 EcoDollars

    Please use this format in your application.

    ** List of winners **

    **1st Place =
    TheAngelEclipse
    Hey there Angel. I really enjoyed reading your application. What I enjoyed the most was reading about your actions to help others. Funny thing is, even if you made up your stories (which I know you didn't), I would still believe you because that is the person you shaped yourself to be in the eyes of others. That I applaud you for because that is a hard thing to do. And for your hard work, I reward you with 1st place.

    **2nd Place =
    Mr_Doom_Bringer
    Hiya there Doom! Talking to you and getting to know you helped me to understand how hard you work. I think it's great that you work hard to pay off your debt which I know is a lot to pay off. And because of your commitment and willingness to not give up, I give you 2nd place.

    **3rd Place =
    Tanmanyellow17
    Heylo Tan! Your application was great and sincere. I could definitely see the work and effort you put into it. I know you will put the winnings to good use with your new town that I've had the honor to watch grow. Here's 3rd place!

    Winners make sure to PM me in-game to claim your prize!

    Congratulations to all the winners! Also, thank you to all the participants who entered the giveaway! It means a lot to take time out of your day to write an application. I wish you all the best of luck in your ECC experience!

    Rank(s):Resident, survivor

    Why do you feel you deserve this:I feel i deserve to win this is because i try to help the community all i can as in helping some new builders and getting them settled and such. Ive tried to make a builders only town with a 2o0x200 farm under it but the complications that go into that are hard so I'm gonna try to make it where the builders have discounts on the plots so they have a nice place to store the items they receive :)

    What you plan to do with the winnings:I plan on putting that toward my mayor fund so i can have the option for a portal for the town and not have to put more stress on the builders (even residents they have a hard time getting around as well) and they can have access to their house and farm so they can come and go as they please.

    An act of kindness that you witnessed or performed:Ive helped people at spawn sometimes and given away cash to some builders whenever i can but currently I've tried to just make life easier for some players not even referring to builders just players in general offering my tools and my support in their loans. I gave away over 50k+ to a person because he has a loan and he is trying to pay off his efficiency 7 and once time i had to stay up all night pumpkin farming to help a friend out (The player's name is Sharding but he has been gone for a long time) And i have gotten him out of debt with storage wars and countless times Ive given him my pumpkin axe but he cannot farm because of the lag it generates.

    Other? (optional):I just really hope i can catch a break because this is the first time ive ever done this and if you have no use for the money i can use it to help others achieve the ultimate goal on this server.

    Why do you feel you deserve this: There are many people who deserve it, probably more than me but if I do win I would use this money on my town which will be at least 400x400 and will take alot of work since only three people including myself will be working on it the most.
    What you plan to do with the winnings: I would use the money for supplies and applications for my town.
    An act of kindness that you witnessed or performed: I like to help builders when they need it unlike most people who just do it for their moderator applications.
    Other? (optional): I would like to thank you for doing this giveaway and it is very generous of you!

    Why do you feel you deserve this:
    I feel that many people deserve this other than me but I would really like this money because I need this money to help the community out. Or somewhat builders/resident who have no home.

    What you plan to do with the winnings:
    Me and lukewhicker are trying to make a nation, with also trying to fix up the three other towns we have. Me and him have tried our hardest to make money but all together we've only made 15k. We're still working on it but Luke and I would really like a boost to buy supplies. Luke and I are also working on a project on another town. http://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/wanted-help-please-o-o.82745/#post-404839 <— This is the link to what we're working on.

    An act of kindness that you witnessed or performed:
    Here are a few things that I have done as an act of kindness; I will sometimes fly around spawn to answer Builders' or Residents' questions if a Moderator has not already, helping builders around spawn and showing them the portals, and lastly sometimes I will give a builder $100-$500 to start out with.

    Other? (optional):
    I would like to thank you for doing this giveaway, it is so thoughtful of you to do something like this. To put the time and effort of earning this money. Thanks c:

    P.S. I do not have any money left over, I had to pay off debt >.<

    Why do you feel you deserve this: I deserve this because I will use the money not for myself, but for others. I am planning on hosting multiple giveaways, but need copious amounts of EcoDollars to do so, EcoDollars that I do not have.
    What you plan to do with the winnings: Host a Builder-only giveaway (and most likely more) to help those little guys become Resident.
    An act of kindness that you witnessed or performed: I saw a lonely Builder at spawn asking, no, begging for help as countless users sprinted past. They all had full diamond armor: he had none. I took him under my wing: gave him a plot, some food, and a diamond pickaxe to help mine. Now he is Resident, and still remembers that day.
    Other? (optional): Thank you for hosting this giveaway. People like you are so helpful to those in need.

    My IGN is Mr_Doom_Bringer
    Rank(s):
    My Ranks are: President + [$$$] + Pilot
    Why do you feel you deserve this:
    I feel as if I deserve this because I've tried really hard to make money to pay off my debts, but my work seems to be not enough to do big impact on my debt, and all these giveaways would help very much to help me get out of debt. I know my debts are not any of your problem, Cardinal3, but, I would really appreciate it if you would give me a helping hand in this time of trouble I've been having. My debts are like a cold winter blizzard blowing me away day by day, but, I keep trying to get up and beat the 'blizzard', won't you help me beat this 'blizzard'? Thanks Cardinal3, and best of luck to everyone.
    What you plan to do with the winnings:
    I plan to use the money all to my debt, nothing else. I might buy things such as pumpkin axes if I need one to make money more efficiently or etc. These winnings would help very much to me and my debts. I truly do want to get out of my debts and help others but I can't seem to do any good by myself, it seems as if my work is just not enough. This would be the perfect thing to help me out in a time like this.
    An act of kindness that you witnessed or performed:
    An act of kindness I have performed is that I have helped builders around at spawn, I've given people tricks on how to make money, such as a recent builder who was looking to buy exp and he was asking in global, I asked him to come to spawn and I showed him around the spawn and I eventually got to the part where I showed him how to get the exp shop easily. I also gave him tips on how to save his money and invest it instead of buying over priced exp. I have also told builders/residents about the server and ways to make money in this harsh economy. This is how I've been helping others in the server.
    Other? (optional):
    I really think this is a very kind act of Cardinal3. She has helped the server in many ways, but this way is much bigger than a lot of other ways she has helped a lot of people. She has let me use her melon sword for free without any worry, she has been very kind to a lot of people on ECC and I think this giveaway is very kind of Cardinal3 and I wish her the best luck in EcoCityCraft!
    Thank you!

    Rank(s): Mayor, donator [$$$]
    Why do you feel you deserve this: Well, I have tried and helped many people who join the server and don't know what they should do, anywhere from giving a builder a 5k donation to help them get started, to giving away a few plots and perms to my private farm. By giving away so many things and helping friends out, i find it hard to dedicate a few hours to making money for myself to use in some projects i have planned. So in turn i really feel like if there is a reason i deserve this, it's because i try to dedicate more time to my friends and other people then to myself and my own goals.
    What you plan to do with the winnings: If I do win, I would save up the money so I am able to get president as soon as i can so i can complete my goal of making a builder and resident friendly nation, where builders and residents can get to mayor as soon as they possibly can with the help of me and the co-mayors.
    An act of kindness that you witnessed or performed: Just this week i saw King_of_the_dot help out a builders through teamspeak, and he helped him get resident in less the a day by teaching him good ways to make money. Aswell, another builder joined the server just a few days ago and I tried to help them get started by giving them a plots in my town so they could make a farm and a 5k donation so they could purchase any basic tools they needed.
    Other? (optional): It's very likely that if I win I will use part of the money to help rachel8484 with her builder shelter because it's a great idea and helping her with it will also help me continue to be a good person :D. Other then that, I thank you for doing this giveaway :).
