Yahooooo! For those who haven't been caught up yet (or didn't see the post), a lovely former participant has chosen to donate money so I can host this giveaway! :D This isn't a collab because they do not wish to have their name on this, so it shall not be called such.

But, well, I'm sure you're not here for that drabbling! You want to get to the messy gritty stuff. What are we doing today? Another Hide-N-Seek! The bounty? 3 people will win a Pirate Crab! Who can participate? ............ ***EVERYBODY!!!!***

I will be hiding the pictured wingless account somewhere around the realms. Your first hint will be posted in the comments. Once I'm found, there will be a 5-10 minute buffer period before the next location is revealed. I will release hints every 5 minutes I have not been found. Aside from that? There is nothing you need to do, so no bullet points today!

Okay, are we ready?

Three...

THERE BE TREASURE TO HUNT🦜🏴‍☠️

Hi All!

Here is the place where the course is set up, time and specifications and slight changes.

To make things easier, please make a video of you (with or without your team) doing the challenge. The challenge name is called SKYCOTLFREETRADING Challenge #1 <--- Whole name (Near the opening on the left side of where you enter between the two large cliffs in the picture). I won't be able to attend, so video or screenshot would be gratefully appreciated.

Direction Of How to Get There: Once you go through the Daylight Prairie realm gate, you will spawn at the area where you are in the social area (with the pond). Go backwards, where you will go to the area with open fields like in the photo provided.

Location/Realm: Daylight Prairie

Time: Starts 4 p.m. Pacific Time

Time Allotted For Competition: 3 minutes (but you may need less)

Next Challenge: (Hopefully, as this is a busy week for me) Thursday, May 14th (When posted here!)

Twist: There is a hidden target that is hidden in plain sight. If you get it, you finish the challenge!

Let the games begin and I'm excited to see the challenge completed! :)

It's tiiiiiimmmmeeeee to announce the winners of last weeks giveaway! :D

As a reminder, one pass will go to a deliberately selected winner, whilst the other fell down to random selection. I was worried about not having enough to personal time to get to everybodys challenge, but I was able to find the time to steadily chip away at them! ♡ And I'm glad I did! Each one felt like a glimpse into the creators personality—where everybody chose to set up, how you each chose to use the terrain and previously obtained props...I appreciated each and every one!

Now, before we announce the random result winner, I'd like to draw attention to the intentional winner. I struggled between two particular entries ^(spent something of 10 minutes deliberating on who to select...) , but my final decision came down to one crucial detail: a hidden easter egg.

What the easter egg is, not entirely important to why I chose to select this person as the winner. I found myself moreso appreciating the use of the space they chose to use, tucked into Wasteland in a rather dangerous zone for a wingless sky kid. The creative use of the puzzles was also a bonus, needing to carry a key from Point A to Point B along your route. It actually reminded me of the crab races, in an odd way...🤣 So with all that fanfare said, the winner's name shall now be revealed...

Congratulations to u/deri_yu for winning the "Appease the Crea" category of the giveaway! :D

Now, onto the random selection winner...

As per the wheel of fates, u/balaclaava wins the random selection category!

...which means my 10 minutes of deliberating was for nothing. Yeah, balaclaava was my second pick. IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING. My top two picks, won by intention ***and*** fate.

I really appreciated Balaclaava's entry for the simple, intuitive, and leisurely design. I realllyyyy enjoyed wandering around the Little Prince's garden, little to no care in the world. Placing the ball front and center told me early that that was something I needed, and the same ball carried me through the entire game. It was a very balanced challenge that felt natural to its location, with a lot of visible intent and forethought.

Ahhhh, what a fun little experience this was! I was excited to do something like this after TGC made the shared spaces free. I would have felt too guilty making everybody spend hearts and/or candles to do this, especially since the only challenges would've been either puzzles or races... ^(maybe an idea for next time...? 🤔 We'll see 🤭)

Well! It's time to wrap this up. Thank you everybody again for participating! I hope the little ♡ made up for any troubles and time everybody spent on this giveaway! I will be getting in contact with the winners shortly. Thanks again for participating! See you next time, and happy flying!
