Hey, all! The community of SK has been awesome for all the time that I've been here so far, and I'm sure it will continue to be. To thank you for being you...

I'll be giving away more than 10 million crowns worth of items in order to give back what I can to the community.

We've crashed the server. We've spawned havens 9321 and 666... what have we done? :O

Thanks very much to everyone who tried to show up - I'm sorry that it didn't work out as planned, but all prizes have now been handed out (even if a bit behind schedule).

10 Million Crowns?!

Meanwhile at the Lionheart Guild, Nox has no idea what to do with all this money so he decided just to give it all away.

♥♥♥WOW♥♥♥

Just outright giving away that much is INCREDIBLY generous of you, Noxi. I appreciate the free shadow lair runs and what an all-around great guild mate you are. Let us know if we can be of any help with the organization.

Oh wait I just remembered

Oh wait I just remembered that Monday is school in service day so I can get on yay but, can I ask can I show up at like an hour late ( meaning I show up at about 3pm Vancouver time) because my parents will kill me if I get up that early just to play games. So can I still be in it. Sorry for all the trouble.

/Boop

I'm more concerned about your name than moneyz.
I, personally, would hug a noxious narwhal.
...It's a narwhal! Because I know, in secret,
(It's a unicorn with a breathing mask surrounded with whale skin)
It's a magical creature, and so are you. :T

Wait.
Could this mean...
No... Our anatomy...

Changelog

1. I added in the location in the upper-half of the post - probably should've done that from the start, thanks for the reminders!

2. I added in just over 1m of new prizes in 2 boxes... now the giveaway totals significantly more than 10m!

3. Added the registration instructions, as well as the rules of what not to do - it's pretty simple, just don't spam and don't bring your alts if you want to participate!

4. What's that? Add more boxes? 700k of stuff added in 2 more boxes.

5. Thanks to a couple generous donations, we're now at 45 boxes!

6. Location changed from haven to LH guild hall.

While I won't be attending this event of yours, a person like you gives me hope that even rich players can be nice and not obnoxious.

Good luck to all that enter :x

Sorry, dragon-mute, but all

Sorry, dragon-mute, but all prizes have to be opened on the spot. If you mean that you'd forfeit your chance of winning a prize in order to stand in for a friend, that would be allowed as long as you open the prize box when you receive it and mail your friend the opened prize.

Timezones

This might help a bit: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html
When choosing where to convert from, my location is Canada --> British Columbia --> Vancouver. Alternatively you can just convert from the PDT timezone, which I think sets the location to Los Angeles. It's the same time zone either way, so both should provide the same result.

Made a significant update to the location - it'll now take place in the Lionheart Guild Hall instead of haven. This allows me to stand in a place that won't be blocked by spam, and will make it easy to click on me to trade if you win a prize! It also solves the issues with havens being closed.

@Anubis

You don't have to be a member of lionheart to hop into the guild hall, since we have it open for all - just go to the right of haven (where the lab/guild hall buildings are) and lionheart will be on the guild list for open halls.

I think you're the first in sk history to do a giveaway with this absurd amount of items AND the quality of the items are pretty good, mad props to you noxy.Only Lionheart does this kind of thing,huh. If I get that hacked aura or something better I'll keep it as a memento. :) `crosses his fingers` time to look on Google for ways to increase your luck, maybe religion? XD

Noxiousnarwhal

@Gigaslash

The mail doesn't have to be fancy - just say that you want in and I'll sign you up!

I wish I had enough prizes to guarantee one for everyone! What I mean by guaranteed registration is that I'll give you your raffle numbers ahead of time - if too many people showed up at the event who hadn't yet registered, I might be forced to place a limit on how many could register there to fit with time constraints. By registering early, you avoid that risk altogether.
