Derpling Raffle and Giveaway (closed)

[ddpej]

I have a big ten-day extended paternal family reunion coming up shortly, on a beach in the Carolinas. And I do enjoy the ocean! However, this translates to: a lot of (very extroverted) people I'm not all that familiar with in a place I don't know for rather longer than I am accustomed to dealing with. And that means my introverted ASD self has been avoiding packing in favor of dusting off a neglected adoptable. lol

For those of you who don't remember derplings, please feel free to peruse the Derp Directory! Of primary interest is the first post there, which has some basic info, portrait links, and a list of known traits with examples. If you have any questions about the species or adopting or anything, please feel free to ask. The earlier the better, though, as I leave Friday morning.

Derpling Adoption Basics:
--Naming and/or paging your derps is appreciated but not required.
--Please don't give away or trade derplings without contacting me, so I can keep my records in order.
--Derplings do have a behind-the-curtain genetic system based on real-life genetic principles of varying complexities. Feel free to look through the directory and do some deducing if that's your kind of thing! If not, no worries.
--Eggs are limited in scope, but they do hint at certain traits of the derps inside.
--Step 5: Profit?

Raffle

There is a hatched leftover from the 2012 Samhain batch who needs a home!
Egg stage:

Name: ---
ID: 114
Owner: ---
Gender: female
Body: white
Markings: light purple
Eyes: light yellow aurora
Theme: Turnip Lantern

• Carved pumpkins are a popular Halloween decoration, but the tradition began with older holidays and the humble turnip, carved and lit as protection from spirits. Being smaller and harder than pumpkins, turnips did not enjoy the elaborate carvings seen today on their famous cousins. The very first turnip lanterns didn't even have faces! Lit turnip lanterns generally have a more yellow glow than pumpkins, due to their color, hard rind, and smaller candles.

How to Enter:
Tell me you want in in whatever form you so desire! Nothing fancy here, I'd just like to get her into a home sometime before 2020. >.> I will pick a name from my salty, sandy hat when I get back.

How to Enter
Not sure how many folks are active and interested right now, so we'll go with one egg apiece for now. Post the number of the egg you'd like, first come first serve, and if they've all been claimed the eggs will hatch when I return! If not, I'll open it up for seconds at that time. Now open for seconds!

I think that covers everything?  I'm half-asleep due to a 4am work shift, though, so I make no promises. =P

[SunBlind]

Hmm, how about egg 136? The dark colour with light speckles looks promising XD


And for the raffle? I just post I"m interested? If so, I'm interested, count me in!

[ddpej]

Yep, anything that tells me you'd like your name in the hat. Prose, poem, allegory, roleplay entry.. I'm not picky. x3

[Janalee]

*whistles as she hovers over a pinkish pumpkin with a set of carving tools*
*finally stands back to reveal a newly carved jack-o-lantern, that reads...'I would like to be entered in the draw, please!'?*

Not the prettiest pumpkin ever, but hopefully it'll serve. XD Ooh, and could I claim Egg 140, please? Thanks for bringing back the derplings, and have fun/good luck at your family reunion!

[memoru]

I remember seeing these adorb things around in other people cyberpet collections. <3


I'm interested in entering the raffle!


And, if possible, could I snag egg 137? I love that shade of grey.

[ddpej]

Well done, Janalee! XD I'm glad there's still interest in my derpy little birds. <3

I've been meaning to get back into derplings for a while now, particularly breeding, so hopefully you'll be seeing them with some regularity again. ^_^

[SunBlind]

Breeding would be fun!

And as a fellow introvert, I totally understand your dismay at your trip. It's great to be around family for a couple hours but after that I need to hide for a bit to recover XD

[ddpej]

Yes. And when pretty much every person on that side of the family is a born and bred extrovert, they just do not understand the concept of an introvert. "You've been sitting off to the side all evening. You must not know these many, many people well enough to feel welcome. Let me introduce you to every single one of them, at length, and we can gather 'round and play games and gossip, and you'll feel better!" They mean so well, they really do.. =P

[SunBlind]

Bathroom...there is always the bathroom to hide away in! But yeah, extroverts can't understand introverts because they actually thrive off the energy in a room, however they are sucking that energy from the poor introverts See if you can find an excuse to go for a walk, or run an errand for the hosts.

[ddpej]

*sneaks on via father's laptop and unexpected wifi*

It's been a week since the last claim, so I'm opening the giveaway for seconds now! I won't be able to update the listings again until I get back, so please just check the thread for which eggs have been claimed before you post. ^_^

[Janalee]

*eagerly runs up to the rest of the eggs* Could I have Egg 139, please? Hope you're enjoying yourself out there, and managed to find a quiet place for yourself somewhere!

[SunBlind]

Hmm, how about the exact opposite of the one I picked before, 138 ^.^

[ddpej]

Alrighty, last call! If the final two eggs aren't claimed by someone in the next few days, I'll save them for a raffle or keep them myself or.. something? =P

[ddpej]

Raffle/giveaway is now closed. Let's keep this short and sweet, shall we?
As a reminder, names and links are appreciated but not required.
