"The Fullest House" contest -- has now ENDED!

The Animal Kinship Group is hosting a contest, which will begin the next time the game opens, and end after 4 days of open game time. First and second place prizes will be given to those that are able to acquire the most animals (chickens, pigs, or butterflies) in their home before the contest ends. Consolation prizes may also be given to all other contestants.

For more information, and/or to compete in the contest, please join the Animal Kinship Group and read the thread on "The Fullest House" contest.

  • that's hilarious.

    You guys should start an AK flickr group for screenshots of your crazy house-herds.

  • This contest will begin the next time the game opens for beta (mid this week). We should be able to finish off the contest during that time, as it's a long test. I'll post a specific deadline for entries after the game opens.

  • Either one is fine!

  • I need to get busy making currants so I can buy a house....lol What is the best way to make currants and that doesn't take long ? kathy aka Stupid1 :)

  • @kathy
    I could loan you the currants to buy your own home if we could figure out a way to do it equitably and without hassle.

    It would probably be more rewarding for you to raise the funds yourself by focusing for awhile on skills and activities that bring in the most ₡. At  your current level (10) I think you can do it.

  • I'm with Kathy on this one - I need to build up ₡, what is the fastest way? Meat? Mining? Other??

  • @riscy with Animal Kinship VI I think you should be able to nibble your way to a house in no time!
    Are we off topic?

  • I know someone that can win this! She has 7 piggies in a rather cramped Tallish Crest Quater garden. and chickens, too, but I forgot how many.

  • So far I think Dave is in the lead with 40 piggies and one chicken.

    Though Rascalmom with 7 piggies, 4 butterflies and a chicken is doing well in a separate category of 'most animals per square footage of property'.  Those Tallish Crest gardens are postage-stamp sized.

  • 40 piggies? - lol, that's alot of bacon! can you imagine the noise?

  • The animals have to be acquired after the contest begins, so anything in existence now doesn't count. That makes it more fair for everyone.

  • How about a secondary competition? First to get a house in this test?  That is my goal, not sure if I will have sufficient time online to do it though.  It might be fun to see who first gets a house.  I have 1,211 currants so far and will be looking to save enough to buy a small pied à terre (with a garden) :p

  • Just to remind people while they're still reading the forums before the game opens: this contest begins as soon as the game opens... should be any minute now.
    Posted 20 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Exciting! I only have 1 piggy, 2 chickens, and a butterfly right now. I can't wait to start gathering animals!

  • This is probably a good time to remind everyone: any animals you have right now do not count in the contest: we want to see how many animals you can obtain between now and the contest closing (so please take note of how many you have now, and subtract that from your total at the end). Thank you! Also, to enter you must join the animal kinship group (feel free to leave afterwards if you want).

  • The game is open, so this contest has begun! Entries are due in the "fullest house contest" thread in the animal kinship group forums by Sunday, April 24th at 9:00 PM Eastern time (in the U.S., which is also 6:00 PM Pacific time). You may post your entry anytime before that, and edit your post if your numbers increase before the deadline.

  •  A little under 12 hours left!
    Posted 20 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • A little over 5 hours left. If the game closes before then, the contest will be extended to 9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific) the first day the game is open next. Remember that you can post your numbers now and then edit them later if you add more animals before then!

  • 2 hours left in the contest, unless the game closes before then.
    Posted 20 months ago by Shepherdmoon Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The game closed before the official end time of the contest, so the contest has now been extended until 9 PM Eastern time (6 PM Pacific) the first day that the game opens next (whenever that is...) You can still enter the contest even now! Just check how many critters you have on your profile page when you click on your home, and enter that number (minus any you had before this test) on the "Fullest House contest" thread in the Animal Kinship group forums. You can always edit it later if you add more before the contest end.

  • We're open now, so the game will end TODAY at 6 PM Pacific, 9 PM Eastern.  That's in a bit less than 3.5 hours from the time of this post.

  • Hm, this seems like a bad idea now, because the house will be full of griping animals until they die.

  • Cupcake, shhh.....

    By the way, 2 hours and 15 minutes left right now.
