#### [WE HAVE A WINNER!!!] FREE CONTEST! Win a Bag O'Goodies Worth Over 15,000 Currants!

We have a winner!
The randomly selected winner is CASIE! The randomly selected entry is "Glitch is trying to take over my life." I think we can all relate.
(Here's the spreadsheet, if you're interested. I put all the entries in as they arrived, then randomized the rows, then used a random number generator to pick a number and that row was the winning entry.)
If you want to see the PRETTY DANG AWESOME word cloud (if I do say so myself), here it is.
----------------------------------------------
Original message was:
So, I have this bag o'goodies, and it includes:

- 8 full-stacks of SOMETHINGS (all different, where "full stack" size is relative to the item)
- 1 gem of greater value than a Pleasing Amber
- 1 cubimal determined to be of the "semi-rare" variety according to this thread.

I'm giving it away to a random contest entrant, but there's a little bit of work involved on your end.
Here are the rules:

- Contest begins at noon Eastern Time on Sunday, November 6th and ends at 9pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 8th.
- To enter, use the in-game mail system to mail me a complete sentence that begins with "Glitch is".
- You may enter as many times as you'd like, but you have to use different sentences each time.

Additional info:

- You'll have to add me (Gloopy) to your friends list to send me mail. Hooray! More friends.
- If your primary language is not English, or you simply prefer to use a language other than English, please feel free to send a complete sentence in a language other than English but keep the spirit intact (e.g. the subject and the verb given) .
- Your sentence can be positive or negative -- it's your sentence, after all!
- I'll be making a word cloud of the responses, because that's how I roll.

Questions? Leave a comment...otherwise, get to sentence-making!
(No, I'm not making money from doing this, because that's not the point. The point is...well, just to have fun, collect some words, and give stuff away.)

- Great idea! Looking forward to seeing the word cloud already.
  Is it one entry per phrase, or one entry per contestant?

- @kookaburra Nope, no limit on entries.
  @treesa randomly. all entries are in a spreadsheet. will first shuffle the entries in the spreadsheet. then, will use a random number generator to select a number -- that will match a row in the spreadsheet.
