About Sunny...

Today, I'm going to tell you all about Sunny... who is me, of course.

Well, I won't reveal some secrets, naturally... but you get what I mean.

First off, you have to KNOW that I'm actually insane... but hey, what's sanity without an in?

I'm in my mid-30's, married, no kids other than a crazy cat that's my daughter, and that I live in what is commonly referred to as Sin City.

Kids are something I can't have, so I have Milagro (Mila for short) as my only daughter.  She is so cute.  Some people refer to her markings as a tuxedo cat.  Well, I can't dispute that as she does have white belly all the way up to her neck, white "gloves" on her front paws, along with white "boots" on her back paws.

My hubby bought her home to me on Christmas Eve - a scared 6 month old kitty.  That was over 3 years ago.

She is still easily scared and my hubby is like, wha... cos she prefers him WAY more than me.  She'll snuggle and all that with him.  But I just glance at her, she's off to the other side of the room before I can blink.  :P

I also adore playing Dragon Cave - I am not a collector (even though my scroll may indicate otherwise).  Aywas is my other game of love because I enjoy creating pretty pets.  :D

My favorite drink is Cherry Dr. Pepper.  I adore eating pizza.  Movies happen to be a we.. .adoration of mine.

Hopefully more mods will be babbling later on, especially when I finally get around to choosing the new secondary mods.

I might babble some more later on.  Who knows... Oh hey, and I actually now have a beautiful gold shimmer-scale prize dragon!  :D

Busy Bees!

There was a delay in updating, but that's because I had to confer with my team about some tweaking to the rules.

I've been a busy bee this week, as well.

It's all done so now you can be on a list for more tinsels, even if you ALREADY have that color.  Only applies to the Tinsel Breed, tho.

One of our mods has become an author in this blog - she will be introducing you to who she is, whatever she babbles about.   I dunno what she wants to say...

Stay tuned and find out!

Secondary Moderator Application Open!

DC Forum Thread with the application

I know it took me quite a while, but I had to figure out how to test a potential mod's ability to use bbcode. I hope I've found just the right way to do that.  The applicant has to use bbcode to replicate the image and at the same time, answer the questions posted.

I and my team of updaters will decide who goes on the list that we think displays the most potential   Then these people will be pm'd a series of questions to flesh out more about them.  No personal information will be ever asked of them.  Only what is allowed by the DragCave's ToS.  

I will close the applications a month from now.  March 19, 2013 is when the moderator application will be taken down.  

Good luck to all that apply!  :)

Flowery Event!

So yesterday began a fun event for DC players.

Gifting flowers to each other in a beautiful blue vase with silver kissing dragons.

Today is a Saturday.  (No kidding, eh?  Well, in my part of world, it is - in others, it's already Sunday - they sure like to live in the future, methinks!)

Everybody on the tinsel lists has gotten gifted.  And all the lists are... gasp... empty!

I think everybody is enjoying their flowery event this week - very awesome way of playing on DC.  TJ and the spriters sure have done themselves awesomely this week.

I'm working on the mod application (for the secondary mod positions) - I have it almost done - I just need to figure out exactly how to do one thing before I can post it.

Introduction of Gifting of Prizes!

This is a blog for the Gifting of Prizes! mods to babble on.  Each blog post will be signed by the person who writes one.  Myself, the primary mods, AND the secondary mods will be able to make a blog post.  

The reasoning for creating a blog?

Basically, this is gonna be a blog where you, the users, can get to know us mods better.

Also, I feel it important that you (the community) have transparency, as in, you can see what we're up to, why stuff is happening, who we are, so forth.  All that kind of thing.  

Users can make posts commenting on certain actions, asking for more clarification, so forth. It's all subjective, but pretty much a simple blog where you can actually communicate with the mods, get answers, so forth. 

At the end of each month, I will archive the list of the gifters into a blog post.  This way, everyone can always find past information.  

If there are questions that's frequently asked, I may end up adding those questions and the answers to them into the FAQ/Rules section of the thread.

The comments that I have been making in the "pretend" blog will go into the next post so that you all know what have been happening, when things happened, so forth.
