cK Holiday Events 2016

Dear clraik,

I would like to officially announce our annual 2016 holiday events hosted by me and our staff. These are for the entire community of our forum, anyone can participate for the fun, social aspect and prizes. :D

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

This year we've accomplished more than ever. Not only are we still the biggest Neopets community (on the edge of being 5 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), but our market is still the most active, and we offer the best Neopets botting experience you can find anywhere. We are the best, and it is an amazing feeling waking up every morning knowing this.

Although the first few years I've been settling in still, I managed to take our bots to a better position. I've re-created our most popular bot, MAJIN Score Sender into version 2, and it's the safest flash game score sender ever made. It re-defines score sending. No more having to think about being frozen when using a score sender with the safety precautions I have programmed into the bot.

On top of this, I have taken Stealth Core to great heights and not only added a shit ton of more bots, but optimized it to where I truly want it to be. From the look, to the core mechanics. It is not just safe, but fun to use.

A big thank you to those that have helped me develop my applications through out the year providing help and feedback. You guys rock!

Now for the goodies...

The rules are very simple:
Private message me a Neopets item you would like to receive for Christmas this year. Plain and simple.

Anyone and everyone can participate in this event! :$

The rules are simple:

1) Must message me ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) your wish. Keeps things organized automatically and is much safer than posting it publicly.

2) Only one neopets item can be requested unless you wish to participate in the bonus activity.

3) Please try to request an item you want to have in-game for entertainment purposes and not for selling.

4) Of all participants, only 6 people will be able to have their wishes granted.

5) To make this a legitimate contest, PM me a number between 1,000 and 10,000 and at the end of the contest I will pick the 6 winners by putting all numbers in a list and randomly picking them using this website ([Only registered and activated users can see links]). Top 6 will be the winners.

6) You have until January 1st, 2017 at 12:00:00 AM EST to PM me with your wish. I know it's after Christmas but Santa was willing to work overtime for us!

7) Message me ONCE please. If you PM me multiple times, I have to disqualify you this year.

8) New requirement: Must be clraik rank+ to be eligible. Sorry for everyone but this year we had an influx in multiple accounts trying to enter and cheat the system.

Just so everyone wins, even newbies: All entries get to choose between these two awesome userbars:

*** BONUS ACTIVITY ***

For a chance to ask for a chance to ask for a second item, you need an Instagram ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) account and do the following easy steps:

1) Take a picture with your phone of the item you want.

2) Upload to your instagram account, must be public or at least for followers to see (our clraik ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) account will follow you).

3) Caption must have the hashtags #clraik #neopets and #neotag with the text "My Neopets wishlist entry for clraik.com by {your username}".

4) Remember to let me know in your PM that you did this part of the event as well. ;)

[Pusheen]

Somehow I can't believe this year went by so fast, I swear it feels like it was yesterday when I made my Pokemon design for last year's contest. I'm very happy to be part of the community and it brings me joy to see how clraik keeps growing and improving day by day... people who come here just to lurk are missing out on engaging with a bunch of amazing, fun and smart people. Thanks for another great event and cheers for another great year :)

[Cath]

Thank you for hosting such great Christmas events again this year guys! :love_heart:

To continue the way Rrachel started, I am also glad I got to spend yet another year within this amazing community! I met incredible people here that I consider friends and I am very thankful for this! I wish everybody a wonderful time for this year Holidays and I hope we get to spend another year as great as the previous ones! :$

[j03]

You're all welcome. I'm happy to host these giveaways every year.

I'd also like to remind everyone before messaging me their wish, to fully read the rules. Already getting a bunch of members PMing what they want but with no other requirements met... Unfortunately I have to disqualify them. [emoji58]

Just the rules written, so like it has to be something that doesn't already evolve, and it can't be something that someone else has already done. :)

"3) Please try to request an item you want to have in-game for entertainment purposes and not for selling."

Don't worry. Some topics might not get as much attention from the members but we usually have a nice amount online. The more you post, the higher your chances of being quoted for a conversation. :)

Edit: Just handed out more userbars!

[Aura]

For those newbies looking to get into clraik rank, please remember to keep your 50 posts relevant and useful to the topic. We're seeing quite a bit of spammy posts. :P

It would likely help if I remembered to log in here more. Im sure Ill find people I share more than one interest with. Thanks for being so friendly :)

I wont be entering the giveaways or anything because I am not active enough here anyway. So Im not trying to spam my post count up or anything.

But I will lurk and see what people get granted. I dont even know half of the items people lust after on Neo.

Logging in more frequently and slowly becoming part of the community is a good start. This is an annual giveaway that Joe hosts, but you'll find that we often have some amazing competitions and such going on around the forum. All depends on your interests and strengths. For example, the Signature of the Month is run by Marine Biology if you're into graphics. I suck at graphics, so I only ever join the Pokemon contest for shit and giggles.

I typically like to refresh the New link on the upper left portion of the forum to see what new posts have been made since my last visit or since the past post I made. Even made it a bookmark for myself lol.

Even a basic MS Paint drawing without colour is eligible... XD
