This site is a scam. I just don't win stuff. What do I have to do to win something here? Will my chances on winning increase if I give more?

.............................................................................................................................................................................

I was in a giving mood yesterday. First I wanted to create a troll topic about how I never win. But everybody can see with a quick look at my profile that this is just not true (although I feel like the Spacecat doesn't love me like she used to anymore). Then the site went down again yesterday and I couldn't finish my train. So I went to bed and shortly before falling asleep I had a much better idea.

We're all so depended on the Spacecat. Why? There's a world full of animals out there! I would like to create a thread that has all animals in it you can think of. So in addition to the troll train that you can find above I'd like to play a little game with you. Everybody who posts me a unique picture of an animal will be either put on a temporary whitelist or be invited to a special group (I have not yet decided about that part, it's still morning, I just got up), and I will give away a nice non bundle game to those lovely people.

The rules are:
it has to be a unique animal, nobody else has to have posted a picture of it before you. So please check before posting and don't edit your comments, edited comments cannot be counted as valid entries. If you found out only after you posted something the animal you chose was already posted, please just create a new post with another.
A bear is not a bear. If you see pictures of a Grizzly doesn't mean you cannot post a picture from an Ice Bear. Same counts for all species.

  • No cat gifs!!!
  • Only real animals!

Applications will be taken until monday evening 8 pm (UTC +2).
Now let's see how diverse our world really is!
Time for applications is over, sorry!

Thank you all for participating! It has been such a fun already.

Please be patient and give me a few days to sort things out (and let the Steam store recover from whatever it is that's hitting it atm so I can get you a nice treat). I'll update this thread and let you all know when the GA is going live.**

The giveaway is up!

I went for the temporary whitelist solution. 147 people made it on there. So you all better check your group tab on the front page. It lasts a week, so everybody has enough time to enter. I also attached a big collage with every animal that has been posted on it. Was great fun making it. Check it and let me know if you think I forgot you.

Regarding blacklisted people: you are either on my blacklist because you were very rude on the forums or you won one of my giveaways and didn't take a second of your time to go ahead and thank me for the game. This makes me feel you don't appreciate my gifts and therefore I don't want to share with you. I appreciated your submissions very much though and if you want to discuss this with me go ahead and add me on Steam. Thanks!

You know, people keep describing kiwis as "small" that I had the impression they're palm-sized birds for a long time. And then I finally saw a documentary that had human researchers for scale, and realized they're chicken-size. That's not "small"...

I saw this same idea used by a vet two towns over.
The turtle can only use it's front legs, since some asshole broke the other two. Though he glued the new wheels to the turtle.
And now the turtle is able to speed through it's new digs... and has a new, good owner.

Why would someone break a turtle's legs? That is so messed up!

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

it sure is.
as to this case, it is unknown why someone did that. the vet thinks the turtle was smash against a hard surface, broke the legs and damaged some nerves. so the turtle couldn't really move and even lost it's will to live, since it no longer ate... after some nice guy found it. but now the turtle is healthy and full of live...
there was even a 5 minute clip of this on a local tv programm about this

Oh my, I actually believed it was a speedy turtle until I read this comment, and I've viewed the image more than 3-4 times now.

I think that's a Red Eared Slider.

Fun Story:
One night, the sky was particularly generous with rain. The next morning, when I went to take out the trash, and I saw something in an (previously) empty bin. In about 7 inches of water, floated a turtle. I know of cats and dogs raining from the sky but that was just ridiculous. I kept him for a few days, made sure he was okay, and set him free in a park with other Red Eared Sliders. Turtles ♥.

It's not a red eared slider, they have larger red markings around the "ears". I actually have a red eared slider here, it's my own old lady (she's a good 5 years older than me, and I've had her for most of my life).

It might be a Painted Turtle? They look similar but no red ears.

I think you're right! The red on the neck seem to be something that is common on those, but not every painted turtle has that.
