I usually reserve these 'share your story' giveaways for 'tier 1' villagers (more information below), but I understand that Erik was a 'tier 1' villager at least once, and remains popular. Also, he is one of my favorite villagers, so it particularly matters to me who I give him to. (And to the cycler who gave me Erik: this one is from my cycling town, while the one you gave me remains in my main town.)
Is he 'in boxes' and 'original'?
Yes and yes.
How much for him?
Free. However, see details below for how to enter.
How do I enter for a chance to invite him to my town?
There are two ways to enter:
1. Share the story of how you have helped the New Leaf community, whether here or at other websites; e.g., you hosted giveaways for villagers, sets, etc.; helped people to find their 'dreamies' for free; helped people fix their town after getting it ruined by a mentally disturbed guest. I am looking for story, not proof, of how you helped the community, so focus on details rather than links. Also, I am not expecting a scholarly essay, but certainly include all the information you think relevant.
2. If you adopted a 'tier 4' or 'tier 5' villager from me, show me the topic or private message where I discussed giving you the villager. If entirely via PM but you erased the message(s), you'll have to hope I remember and am certain of giving you the villager. If you choose this way of entering, you don't have to include a story, but a story will not count as two entries because the selection process, which I discuss below, does not work that way.
Got an example of a decent story someone submitted?
There are plenty, but here is one: http://www.belltreeforums.com/showt...your-story!)&p=3109961&viewfull=1#post3109961
So the best story wins, right?
As hinted above, I will not necessarily be picking the 'best story,' and even if I tried I am bound to disappoint people anyway. I'm just going to pick among promising entries and who is conveniently online at the time I arbitrarily decide to deny anymore entries. (So I might end this in a few minutes, an hour, a day, or several days; who knows.)
In other words, it's like musical chairs, except you need to give your story (or show me proof of 'tier 4' or 'tier 5' adoption from me) to enter the game, and since I am looking for 'promising entries,' those who did not choose entry method two and seem to me to clearly not care about actually sharing their story might not make it into the pack of entries I will select from.
So you will announce the winner, right?
Not publicly: I will contact the winner privately. If the person chosen does not reply in an arbitrarily determined time frame (after all, this is musical chairs), I will privately contact another winner. This will take place after I have announced that I am no longer accepting entries, and have locked the topic.
Should I have space available when entering?
Yes.
May I enter for someone else?
Most likely no. Maybe you can convince me otherwise, but it better be a tear-jerker.
Will promising gifts improve my chances of winning?
No, silly.
Noted. But what if I insist on gifts anyway?
Gold armor pants, gold shovel, or holly starts, please. Or bring whatever you want.
What if I just want to enter for a chance to 'sell' Erik?
Death awaits you.
That's not nice.
Die now.
What town and FC to get him?
Koriko at 4313-1249-5334.
