I hope it's me again.
You know what I just thought? What if nobody else picks my prize? Should I throw 12 of my decks in a box and ship them to myself from my work or something? Lmfao. I think I might.

You (and everyone else picking after you) should PM the user who's prize you'd like to claim and then PM the next person in line and let them know it's their turn to pick. I'm sure you and JR can work something out with your subscriptions if that's really the prize you're choosing.

#12 - So excited! Quick question: what happens if someone on the list never posts or PMs to claim their prize? How long before any action gets the prize train moving again? Not impatient, but wanting to set my expectations.

Don't worry, TwoPiece, if no one claims your offer, you know that I'll take the bait when my times comes. You also know that I demand a penguin magic packaging video for that to happen. And we'll use the footage to promote next year's contest.

Congrats to the winners!!!
It's nice that CARTOMANCER (designed by Alain Benoit) won the BEST ROOKIE DECK award and 3rd overall. Same for HANA in pips! Luv! Lunatica! Luv! Cool that OUTLAW (it's a great deck!) got 2nd place in Aces. My only disappointment is that Sisterhood of Blood: Vol. II got only 2nd place in back designs.

p.s. My prize is not just a recolor (blue to green). I'll use the first box/back designs (waves). Or you can pick your own color if you don't like green.

But feel free to blame him as your evil twin for stealin' your spot

Okay, so just a few quick points to make sure the selection process for prizes the winning participants goes smoothly:
- Please publicly post here what prize you'd like to select and receive from those listed as available; this will allow total transparency and accountability as well as allow us to keep track of which prizes have been claimed and are no longer available for the following winners to choose from. As soon as you publicly stake your claim, the prize will be noted as unavailable.
- Please be absolutely sure that the prize you publicly claim is the prize you absolutely want and you are aware of any and all arrangements in regards to shipping with the donor. If you have questions about the prizes or the shipping arrangements, please either post those here or privately to the donor so you can make an informed decision. After you publicly claim a prize, you will not be able to 'change your mind' and request to select something else as this could affect the decision and selection process for all subsequent winners - so please be absolutely sure in what you choose. As soon as you announce the prize you are selecting, the next person will be permitted to make their own selection.
- You may take as much or as little time in deciding which prize to select, but please be considerate of the time you take in making a decision by keeping in mind that others behind you will be waiting until you make a decision and publicly select your prize. If you need more time, please just publicly post expressing such. An allotted time frame in which a decision/selection must be made has not been determined and will only become an issue after a general consensus that you are stalling the process at which point you will be notified of a deadline to make a selection and it will only be enforced. We will not allow winners to skip over one another and the order of selection will strictly follow the order of winners listed.
- You are responsible for PMing the donor of the prize that you select to arrange for shipping. If they don't respond to you immediately, don't stress and give them a bit of time. If necessary, we'll also provide whatever support we can in reaching your donor and help to facilitate communication.
- You may also PM the next winner on the list, but it's not entirely necessary as they are responsible themselves of paying attention to their turn when it comes (but sending a reminding PM is always appreciated
)
- If a listed prize giveaway winner doesn't select a prize for an extended period of time NOR post or respond to PMs and we are not able to get in touch with them causing the entire selection process to stall, their chance to select a prize will be forfeited as if they had opted out and all winners will be moved up one slot with the remaining open slot at the bottom to be filled with the next participant that had been drawn. The allotted time frame in which a decision/selection must be made has yet to be determined but it will only be enforced if there is absolutely no communication from the winning recipient and a judgment will only be made if/when such an event occurs as determined by and in agreement of the community as a whole.
I hope I covered everything and didn't miss any points of expressed concern - if so, let me know and let's discuss
I'm sorry for not laying this out earlier and/or making it more clear.
Happy Prize Pickin' to all DOTY Giveaway Winners!

@Montenzi - +1 on Sisterhood deck's back design. I voted for it as the best back design too.
Congratulations to all the winners...
And hats off to Amy for her zeal and perseverance in getting UC DoTY voting count to improve a lot this time. We should have got more participation and seems like this is too much of an ask, it does tell us a lot about human behavior and how social media has affected it. Likes and sharing of posts related to contests is easy and you can see 500/1000+ folks participating there and if you just ask to do a bit more, participation plummets down.

I am new to the community via TGW's YouTube channel where he told me about the forum and the vote. It was very easy and I was
shocked there were only around 100 folks contributing to the vote. Obviously, those odds helped me land a spot on the prize list (woot!) but between UC, Reddit, FB, IG, and other platforms, I am amazed there wasn't more participation. I am so impressed with Amy and I have seen some great comments on making next year's DOTY vote even more spectacular (I'm looking at you, TGW!). I can't wait to see what comes up next. Cheers

The prize pool of those available has been updated to reflect your selection:

The list of winners has also been updated to reflect the prize you'll receive and denote the next winner up for making their selection - 'bird's up! lol

Last year my name was drawn fifth. This year, with
eight times the turnout, I came up second. Selling my soul to Satan is clearly paying dividends.
I've sent a PM to
montenzi to ask for more details about what the "ultra-limited" NEO:WAVE variant might look like. I'm most intrigued by
this passing remark:

Replied! And yes, I am talking about back designs/box designs mentioned in the first post here:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=10913
They are "original" as I changed my mind and printed another back/box for NEO:WAVE. But I can print any variation of available designs (with or wihtout borders) or change color or print two back designs
One color per winner but two back designs (with and without borders) are possibe. Hope it helps.
