    Hi ECC, I'd like to announce my fifth weekly giveaway contest here on the forums! How it works is each week I'll be holding a new giveaway with 3 winners. Unforunately I won't be topping last week's giveaway for a while (100k was the 1 month anniversary)! But *spoiler* just wait for week 10! I've got something big coming then! This week's prizes are now the following;

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1st Place Winner: 40,000$ (Winner blowtube123)
    2nd Place Winner: 25,000$ (Winner scottmichaelj)
    3rd Place Winner: 10,000$ + 64 Diamonds + 128 Iron Ingots (Winner AlphaTimer)
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Previous 1st Place Winners:
    oreo1227, avowin, cahlawat1, Xx5mike5xX
    Previous 2nd Place Winners:
    Mr_Doom_Bringer, sparkleypotato2, Quieted, Anvildash
    Previous 3rd Place Winners:
    scepter01, voiD_yO, maco20047, Vintage_Gamer
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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!

    I am only the rank of [Mayor] I have not yet purchased any additional ranks. Unfortunately, I have not yet donated either.

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?:
    I would like to give Falconaire a big standing ovation! This is very generous of you! This is money that you earned yourself, farmed it, mined it, whatever, and now you are going to wave that money goodbye, wishing it a better life in someone elses hands. You are giving it to those who may not have the ability to make money, but you are giving them the opportunity to start fresh, make changes for the better. I feel honored to be sitting here today, sitting next to the future of Ecocitycraft. Some that have been here longer than you, and rank up higher than you, still do not support the community like this. Again, it is an honor to be here today.I am a hard-working member of this server. I have played for a long period of time, achieving many goals I have set for myself. I have many dreams I would like to achieve on Ecocitycraft. Once in a while we all may get stuck in a rut. A time when there is little to no income coming in, yet dreams floating out there like many distant islands. It seems as though these may never be achieved unless a miracle happens. This 40,000 Ecodollars could make all the difference. These could make it so these distant islands are now focused, and in view. I can now start to plan, and take steps to achieve these goals. Even more important, follow through on your plan. These 40,000 Ecodollars could change the life of anyone. If given to a builder, it could mean ranking up to Resident, where there is more respect and using the extra money to purchase access to a farm, to start their way to Mayor. If I were chosen as the winner, of any amount for this give-away I would be honored. I would know that someone believes in me, someone is there for me, someone will back me up. Again, all I can say is thank you, for this life-changing opportunity,. Whether I win or not, you made me a better person! Everyone on Ecocitycraft will need help, or has needed help. Depending on the situation, the support they need may be in the form of a monetary donation. We all know that situation, when you are just scammed, died in PvP and have lost everything. Sometimes, you just need a little help from someone else. I would like to be there, helping the people that could use the money more than I. I would like to be there when the Builder runs out of food. I currently am trying to help out those in need, send monetary donations along with a few good words of wisdom, mostly "Don't play the lottery". However, if every person in need got $500 dollars from me, there would come a time that I would have no money and need support of my own. This money could make all the difference, letting me achieve my goal of a reliable income source, and continue on my journey, helping others.


    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?:

    This money will go towards [President] I have a town already, which I put in a Taiga/Swamp biome, not thinking of the consequences.. This does not make a very pretty town! My goal was to create a town that looked like an island. However, the ground was uneven, creating a void underneath my town. This means stone must be placed underneath it, a lot of labor. A town was illegally placed next to mine, violating zoning laws. I recently made a complaint directly to Andrew about when I realized how much it was obstructing my dreams. I was told it was to late for my town to be moved, away from this other town. This was really a bummer, and I realized this town would never become the town of my dreams. This is when I realized the best thing to do was use my current town as a home base and get another town. I would love to have this additional money to work my way up to president, whether it be buying access to a farm, or directly being used as application funds. This money would also let me get started on my town, buying E-Repairs for my Efficiency 4, Unbreaking 3 Diamond shovel that might be used for clearing land, buying blocks to build my town, seeds for a public farm, or whatever else may occur. This money would allow my imagination to run more freely than it's current state! I am also in need of funds for a new program I would like to start. It is called Supply & Demand. What happens i the Demander tells the Suppliers what they need ( In Bulk). The Suppliers then bid against other Suppliers to give the Demander the best deal possible. So I may need 64 diamonds. Now Supplier 1 may say: "I will sell you 64 diamonds at $50 each". Now Supplier 2 may say: " I need this business. I will sell you 64 diamonds at the price of $30 a diamond". Then, if no other Supplier bids lower than $30, Supplier 2 gets the business of the Demander. I can assure you that every Ecodollar I may be awarded will be spent in a careful and professional manner!

    Thanks for this opportunity, and good luck to any other participants. May the odds be ever in your favor!

    To Falconaire This opportunity is once in a lifetime. I would like to thank you for giving me this chance to strive for what I need. It is unbelievable what you have done for the community. No one made you do this, this is out of the good of your heart. If everyone was as caring as you, the world would be a perfect place. Thanks again for this chance, which could possibly change a life!

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?:
    First off, I would like to give Falconaire an enormous round of applause for hosting these kinds of Weekly Giveaways. It is amazing to see how generous he is, I have not seen anything this generous on ECC in a VERY long time. It is an honor to be a part of something this cordial.

    Anyways, why do I think I should be chosen as the winner of this giveaway? To me, I think I should be chosen because I will use this money quite usefully (Explained further below.) Also, I have been on this server for 20 months now. I joined when I was only 13, now look I am turning 15 on September 17th (Making this an awesome birthday present). Ever since the beginning, amazing users have been helping me since the start. [For instance, when I was a builder zardgyer took me under his wing.] Now that I am 100% capable of helping other users, I want to give back to the community by helping uses rank themselves up like zardgyer helped me. I have been helping users since the start, but new users need 1 on 1 assistance. This is where my assistance will definitely come in play.

    My list can go on and on about why I want to help others. All around, helping others is the key to ECC. You don't have to be rich. You don't have to be EcoLeader. All you need is the thought of "All I want to do is help others" in your head and everything will glide smoothly.

    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?:
    First, I plan on using the money/resources for a new town. Recently, I started to gather my funds for my Additional Town #3 ($220,000) named EfficientFarms, this town will strictly be for helping users to make as much money as they can to get their own town. For example, I will be creating 8 large 10+ story farms that will be made for the most efficiency possible. This means the farms will be created so that users can make the most money the fastest ways possible with any crop. Also in the town, I would like to have a Portal ($40,000) and a warp ($40,000) for easy access to the farms.

    In addition, I am also working on another project named "MineDerby". I am currently creating "MineDerby" in the town of Bekana, which is quite close to spawn. Here, I will be hosting Horse races/obstacle courses for many users to compete. I am looking forward to having a large crowd, hopefully as large as MineWars. This project needs quite a bit of money due to the fact that this is a completely new town. All money made by me will go towards the expansions of EfficientFarms.

    Other:
    Once again, all thanks go to Falconaire for being such a generous, outgoing, and supportive ECC member. I have not seen a user this generous on ECC in at least more than 1 year. Thank you Falconaire, you are the next generation of ECC that everyone will love <3!

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I should be chosen as the winner because I have been on this server for a very long time. I know time is no way to advance your rank, but I sold my town cheaply. It is long since gone, and I want to finally be able to make a town which is my dream on this server.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I would use it towards saving up for a town. Once I get enough, I will buy a resident mayor in exchange for the town. This money will be a massive help towards my goal of finally owning a city and I plan on making it very beautiful. I will be a philanthropist, giving builders a free apartment for 2 weeks so they can get on their feet.
    Other: Thank you for the amazing opportunity.

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I think I should be chosen as a winner because I work hard to help new builders and anyone who is looking for a home. For example, I recently sold a house to a new builder for a very low price, and I gave him plenty of time to slowly pay it off(200 per day for a few days.) That same house had also been rented out before as well. Also, I have helped new towns grow by investing in them so that they can improve their reputation and popularity (Carlisle, Minastirith, LosAngeles). I have not been on this server for a very long time, but I have worked very hard during these last few weeks trying to help others.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?:I would use the money primarily for charitable reasons. First, I would use a large portion on saving up for mayor so that I can create a town for new players. It would include a large pumpkin/melon farm, a town portal, and a friendly community. In order to achieve my goals though, I would need a significant amount of funds. Therefore, I have entered in this giveaway along with working ingame to maximize efficiency and minimize the time needed to build.
    Other: I would like to sincerely thank Falconaire for hosting this giveaway and giving me a job. His giveaways have given me a sense of hope that perhaps I can make my dreams come true. I am only a resident, and am striving to earn a mayor, even though this may take an exorbitant amount of time (school, funds, zoning, mining, farming) I am hoping that he will agree with my opinion of the need to help new players on the server.

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Well, because I work ver, very hard in ECC and specially in my favorite town which is Aquila. I LOVE to help people in the town and in ECC. I have been loyal and respectul to others and to ECC. I have given things and money to help people. I get work very hard too to get my money which I'm saving for Mayor and help putting cheap plots so people can have a place where to live. And because I try to make new and efficient ways to help people in a way they like. I have been Resident over a month I think but I still don't give up in getting the money because I never give up and always try to achieve my goals in real life and in here. I respect every and treat them the same. For now I'm kinda poor to winning this would be AWESOME! And by the way becuase I think in other people and I'm never selfish and honest.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: About that I will use the money in useful ways like giving money, saving for Mayor and giving money to the poor. So well about Mayor I will create a town with cheap plots which will help a lot! Joining nations, making new friends, that would be fun! :D And maybe with this money I can organize some projects and a giveaway(not promising anything, just saying it's possible). The important thing I won't trash the money in lotto or buying a ton of things. And like I said helping people by giving them money.
    Other: I thank Falconaire for the awesome things he does! And I'm a very good student in real life and do the best I can! Thanks for reading and I hope you like it!

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I think I should be chosen just for a few reasons for now that could be sentimental in this contest. One of these reasons is that I love to help people. With winning 2nd place or 3rd place (as I have already won the grand prize once) and with a few more loans out/money back from loans located here, I can get president with the money I have and will earn.
    Now many of you might be wondering how me getting president will help a lot of people out. Well, with my new town, I am thinking of making a town based off of how the game Animal Crossing would be run. The reason that this could some how be helpful is because you can buy a small house that will be built on that day for a small price that you get quite a bit of time to pay off. Once you get that payed off you can ask for your outside of your house to be changed, to have your house get wider, to add new rooms, or even add more floors! This all will cost more or less depending on the work that has to be done. There will be town stores also, where I might sell some stores in town so that you can earn money also! If you want, you can do work for me and earn money, and donate to help the town! Half of the money from my president town will go to my loaning fun, and some more into my money to help the town even more! wouldn't that be great? P.S. If you are a rich player you can try to be the top player in my town and get the biggest house there :D
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I would use this money for getting president, helping out my town, and with my loaning business
    Other: I <3 Animal Crossing: New Leaf and am waiting for the new games Pokemon X and Y :D

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Lately, without my irl friends with me, I find that ECC has gotten repetitive. I have found (by talking to you) that you are a very cool guy and a guy that I would like to talk to more even if you don't give me or anyone money.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I have started a project with thehockeykids2 that requires money and time. I have also needed a few donation features for a long while! I am usually unable to farm or play Hunger Games at home because of bad internet. I would greatly appreciate any donations that come my way :)
    Other: My balance is currently about 1k. So I would really appreciate this money to get me started on my road to getting what I need and helping others with projects! Thanks for doing these! People like you are very heplful, and it is true what people say about you in the chat: You are the nicest player on ECC!

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I think I should be a winner because I am a nice person, a dedicated ECC member, kind, witty, and epathectic. I would really love to get the teleport donation feature, and I am short on funds. I really love this server, and everyone on it. I put lots of work into this application. I have been on this server for a year and a half and I like to help others get a good start on this sever. (showing them around the spawn, giving new players tips on making money) but that takes up time and I usually have little time to make money myself. I could really use a boost in funds so I can get TP.

    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: I will use some of it to buy TP donation, and the rest will mostly go to my friends and people who are in a jam. Also I might use some to build something in my town (not sure what yet but I would like a landmark in my town to make stand out, y'know?) Also I put some of the answer to this question in the above question. So that might have been a bit repetitive.

    Other: Thanks for doing this giveaway. You are a really nice person, falcon! You are really adding to the server. Also, if I do not win, please make blowtube win. Her application is amazing. Thanks! :)

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: I belive i should be chosen as the winner because im a determined, fun, caring, giving person and i would like to give back to the people who have helped me out and help them out using this money and also setting some aside for my pres fund that way i can get my own town and help others any way i can just like my freinds helped me.
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: i plan on using the money to help my freind build his town and get it a thriving place to live in wpooney and then set aside some money for myself to raise enough to rank up to mayor and finally get my own town to live in which part of me getting mayor i sadly had to exchange my town.
    Other: if given the money i feel that i could provide the community with a better sense of freindlyness whenever needed and be able to pay back my freinds who deserve it and thanks for the give away your awesome c:

    Why do you think you should be chosen as a winner?: Well I guess maybe because I would love to help builders who need a home to get a home :D like a plot or a room in a apartment :D So then since I have gotten mayor, my next goal is to get water donar feat as another perk for my town ^^ :D Teleport is already a perk but I do teleports for free anyways :D
    What do you plan on using the money/resources for?: Water donar feature :D
