DG Players Pet Parade!

Postby Blythe » Sun Sep 01, 2019 11:29 pm

OOC -
This is a completely out of character contest. As the title implies, this is about the players pets :)

Post pics of your feathered and furred babies here!
We have a small panel of anonymous volunteer judges. They have been given the following categories to judge by:
1. Cutest Cuddle Companion (cutest)
2. Vicious and Victorious (meanest)
3. Far out Familiar (most unusual)

Prizes for each category will be as follows:
First place: 3 months paid premium (to yourself or divided up to three ways)
Second place: 1 month paid premium
Grand Champion (will also be a first place in one of the categories): 3 months paid premium
Reserve Grand Champion (will also be first place in one of the categories): 1 month paid premium

Rules:
All you have to do is post a picture of your pet and name which category you would like to enter. You can enter the same pet into multiple categories, but can only enter each picture into a single category.
DO NOT INCLUDE PICTURES WITH CHILDREN - entries that include images of minors will be disqualified. The judges also strongly recommend you do not include your own (adult) image with your pets.

Post entries and questions below!
Thank you! And enjoy the Players Pet Parade!

*Edited to add: All prizes must be claimed and distributed by Dec 31, 2019.

Oh I almost forgot: contest concluded Saturday Sept 7th at midnight central.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am :D

Quite right, as they do not really fit the others. Thank you Raffe. You always do know best.

Surprising lack of pet lovers this week...
I guess the prizes are all but wrapped up unless we see some late entries!
Maybe everyone is just waiting to surprise our panel of judges. Or these three are the only ones showing love to furry friends?
Don’t let your cute, cuddly critters overhear that or you may end up in the doghouse for a turn!

Hopefully there'll be one more pic on the way, once Spud decides to co-operate !!
He has a small white patch on his chest, otherwise he's totally black. My photographic skills so far have resulted in a series of photos of what looks like a black blob. Still trying!

Spud came to us when he was 4 from the home of a little old lady who kept him indoors as a lap-cat. Took us weeks to persuade him to go outside, and now 4 years on, he rarely comes in! He has wicked-sharp teeth and claws, and 6kg of weight behind them. He's become quite the hunter in his journey to becoming a proper cat rather than some sort of ornament.

I guess that first pic along with my comment on his hunting skills would put Spud in category 2. But he can look rather more innocent kitty. Usually when he wants something such as food or a fuss, or to be included in category 1.

The small panel of judges asked me to convey their thoughts on the contest:
1 I am never again to ask them to choose between adorable pets!
2 They wanted everyone to win a prize and really enjoyed getting to see everyone’s entries (I think we all did!)
3. More pets please! But just for the fun of it.

A big thank you to everyone that shared their fur-babies with us :-)

Thanks!
I told Spud he had won in a contest, and he said 'Me? How?' Well it sounded a bit like that... :lol:
