Hi everyone!
There's still one day left to collect prize petals! As a reminder, you need 50 points to enter the contest. Go here to see how many points you have so far:
http://theenchantedisland.com/contests
To enter the contest:
1. Collect enough petals for 50 points!
2. Put the word [b]summer[/b] in your status message.
3. Cast again and you should be awarded the badge for entering the contest. Now just sit back and wait for the prizes to be awarded!
To edit your status message: On the left side of this page, click only your name or avatar. Now, look for the speech bubble next to your character (again on the left side of the page). Click "edit status", write a message that includes the word [b]summer[/b] and save your status.
When you cast again, you'll see confirmation that you've entered the contest.
After the contest ends, we'll give everyone another day to or so to set their status and enter the contest (assuming they already collected 50 or more points), then we'll award the prizes.
Good luck everyone!
[b]Update[/b]: My bad, the badge is actually awarded *after* the contest ends. Check the contest page to see if you've been registered for the contest. : ))

v, you need to add the word "summer" to your EI status message. You have to go to your profile (click on your name) to do that. Then click on the edit button next to your status bubble and type the word summer in there somewhere.
This is great Dude, gave me plenty of time to get enough petals! I've been working like crazy here lately!
Dude the Programmer
@v: I just checked and it looks like you're in! : ))
I do see that you don't have the Summer Prize Petaler badge, though, maybe I misremembered and that gets awarded when the contest ends... I'll have to check.
'v' the dancer

Thanks Dude. Loving the petals.
Ariel the Person
Thanks for this dude, because I just realized that I was not entered with
'Summer" instead of "summer". but I changed it so it's not capital and it says I'm entered now, so it's all good.
pixie the all powerful
woo hoo! good luck everyone!!!
luin the loonie
Does the capital 's' make a difference? I have summer caps'd and it still tells me that I'm entered... very strange... :S
K the Clever
Luin, it shouldn't matter. I'm entered in the contest, even though the 's' isn't capitalized.
Michelle the Fairy
Good luck everyone!!!

P.S any ideas for the next premium seed?
Amy the Illuminated
In all my time on EI i have never cast so much in a week! I am loving the contest! Good luck for the final 21 hours everyone!

I can see only the first 100players but my place or somebody's else after the first100 not!
Dude the Programmer
@Michelle: Tiger Shells will be back in a couple days. Ancient Seeds will remain (probably) through the end of the month. : ))
Kianna the Wise
Zoy, when you click on the Green Prize Petal link at the top of the page, you get to the main Prize petal page. About half way down you will fine a light grey box that tells you if you have entered and what your status is, as well as how many of each type of petal you have collected.
Dude the Programmer
@Zoy: Yes, you are in. : ))

Does everyone have a chance in the drawing, or are the names only drawn from the top 100 wizards??
Dude the Programmer
@pc: Oh, no, everyone has a chance! : ))
It's like a raffle, where each point is one raffle ticket. Having more points increases your chances of winning a prize. But, everyone will have a chance to win. Last time, one player won a prize with only the minimum number of points (50 points). Several other players won with only a few more points than that.
In fact, relatively few players on the leaderboard won a prize. This is why we added a guaranteed consolation prize for those on the leaderboard, the Leaders Pot.
Good luck! : ))

@Donna you have to enter the word "summer" in your status message.
so when you go to your profile click edit next to your character and replace what you currently have there , which i think is "donna's denizens" with the word "summer".
Jean the Peacemaker Faun
Since it's a raffle, is your name taken out after you win something?
K the Clever
Jean, yes, if you win one of the prizes, all of your raffles will be removed for the later drawings. You can only win one prize. (The Leaders Pots are separate, since those aren't won through raffling)
Ariel the Person
I think it's interesting to see how much the chances of winning are actually higher or not depending on how much petals you have because we can actually see how many petals there ARE!
on the top it says "Over 840,105 points earned so far! (by all players)" so that means even the top person on that leaders list has 1/4 of 1% chance of winning! so I would say that if you don't feel like you have a lot of petals, don't let that discourage you...nobody's odds are much better!

Why is there still snow on the ground if it is summer?
