Giveaway Marina the normal octopus

[Zulehan]

Is she 'in boxes' and 'original'?
Yes and except for her shirt.

How much for her?
Free. However, see details below for how to enter.

How do I enter for a chance to invite her to my town?
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.

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 to enter the game, and since I am looking for 'promising entries,' those who 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 shovel, please. Or bring whatever you want.

What if I just want to enter for a chance to 'sell' Marina?
Death awaits you.

That's not nice.
Die now.

What town and FC to get her?
Koriko at 4313-1249-5334.

I did good things on the forum (http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?195448-20-million-bells-giveaway!!

So, I was bored and I saw a new cycling thread. Marina was in boxes! Nobody took her, so I did. I never really loved Marina, she was ok. But, I fell in love when I got her. She gave me her picture, we talked every day. She was awesome. But, one day she left. I didn't know what to do, so I gave her away (I got her for free.) It was in my old town, and I would love to get her back!

This ugly signature shows that I had her, and that I was planning on keeping her.

so far since join the forums i've helped 2 people find their dreamies. i've only been here for a week so i haven't accomplished anything huge like 10 million bell giveaways. the first dreamie i gave away to this this girl, was genji. i didn't know that people had him as a dreamie, i just started out with him! the second dreamie i gave away was to another girl and that was olivia. that was the day that nintendo had its maintenance and we had to wait a couple of hours to actually do the trade. once she got olivia she was soooo happy.

So I haven't been active on places like this much, but I have done some nice things! The first giveaway that I did was with my villager Flora. I got tons of messages on tumblr and decided to just put their names in a randomizer and give it to whoever came up. When one of my favorite villagers, Poppy, asked if she could move I really didn't want her too. She wasn't one of my dreamies but i was very fond of her and then I remembered a girl on JVGS who had been looking for Poppy for a really long time and with some help I managed to contact her and give her Poppy! I am currently hosting a giveaway on tumblr and some of the prizes will be: gold roses, a full (orderable) set, gold tools, etc.

Last bump before this game ends.

This game of musical chairs is over.

As always, loved the entries, and thank you very much for them, but there can only be one victor!

If whoever I have chosen for first place does not reply in a timely manner, I will contact my next choice.
