I'll be rolling for it tomorrow morning at work. :D I already have the placeholder written up for all of the prizes with blanks where owner and Sam names will appear. Once the rolling is done, it'll be quick work putting it up.

And we're getting down to the wire! Less than five hours to go for any last-minute Song additions. ^_^

The doctor is still "in" for anyone in need of sudden-elimination deathmatchmaking. Hah.

What an event! This year turned out to be even larger than last year, which resulted in an even hundred tickets. We clocked in at 64 new breeding pairs for the month of May, which means a total of 128 tickets for random prizes! I’m blown away by the enthusiasm of the community’s response and I’m looking forward to rolling up prizes very soon. I typed everything up beforehand, so I’ll just get cracking on filling in the blanks.

GRAND PRIZE

Image

This year’s Grand Sekkrit Sushi Prize introduces a brand new item to the site – a Twin Breeding Token! This item guarantees a successful breeding with the winning pair resulting in twin foals, one for each owner. The person whose name was picked as the winner gets to choose their foal, leaving the second for the other parent’s owner.

Just PM Sushi when you’re ready with any additional items or modiems you might be throwing into the breeding. (And yes, one big advantage of this type of token is that you can use other modiems in conjunction with the promise of twins...! I know this is something that several of you have longed for in the past.)

The grand prize winner is Yuiven with Juju of the Masked Spirit
Their partner is Jennalyn with Sibyl of the Summer’s End
Congratulations!

Image Image



SECOND PRIZE

Image

A beautiful set of Love-Pair Firebirds awaits our second prize couple in this year’s event! They’re patterned after a pair of Mandarin Ducks, birds that mate for life. The male is more than happy to flash glossy green feathers for his white-winged mate. The person whose name was picked as the winner gets first pick of the pair, leaving its mate for their partner.

The second prize winner is oakleafwolf with Bark of the Ivory Bull
Their partner is LvSoulFriend with Leap of the Deepest Snow
Enjoy these lovelies.



THIRD PRIZE

Image

Continuing the theme of couples, a set of Love-Pair Dragonets patterned after Lovebirds are crooning up a storm! It’s only a matter of minutes before the bright blue boy gets up the gumption to groom his pretty green mate. The person whose name was picked as the winner gets first pick of the pair, leaving its mate for their partner.

The third prize winner is Orasteele with Trill of the Sky’s Prism
Their partner is Echos with Plume
Let them coo their way into your hearts!



RUNNERS-UP

In keeping with past contests, a slew of tradeable items are offered to randomly-selected participants in the event! We’ve capped off this year’s offering with a prized commodity come breeding-time.

Oh, Jenn, they're gorgeous! Thanks so much! They'll look just perfect with Bark and Leap!

And congrats to you and Yuiven as well, what an awesome new item... And it'll be great to see their foals. :D

And then of course congrats to all the other winners... by which I mean the winners of tradeable items and everyone who has new Songs for their Samanayrs... Oh wait, that's pretty much everyone! ;)

Great event, can't wait to see what happens in the Fourth Annual Spring Fling!

Wow, congratulations to all of the winners, those are some amazing prizes!

I'm so happy to see the twin breeding token. I hoard breeding modiems because every time I get into a breeding, I want to "share the love"; I don't want to be the only one ending up with a foal, as much as I love them. I hope we'll be seeing more of these tokens handed out in the future! :D

Thank you to Sushi for offering the prizes, and thank you again for the event, Jennalyn :)

*flails arms* Twin token? That is too cool! Congrats Yuvien and Jenn, those will be some amazingly colorful tribal babies!

I just love the love-pair pets this year! The firebirds are so freeking adorable! I love the expression on the male, and the subtle patterning on the female. Congrats oak and lv! The dragonet pair is just too cute, I love the teeny tiny tail on the female, and the giant (horn? feather?) crest on the male.


*waves brown Lam feather* Yay for tradable items, they're always appreciated! :mrgreen:

This has been such an awesome event, watching the list of bonded Sams grow day by day. There are so many perfect pairings, and many more that I never would have thought to try- but seeing them I adore! Hooray for Samanayr love, and a huge thanks to Jenn for running this event again!

Question. Would using a pair of breeding modiems on top of the twin token mean quadruplets? Because... yeah. XD
