Advent Calender 2014

Day 2

Candy Canes

Greetings Everyone and welcome to the 2014 Advent Calender. Today is December 2nd, which means Day 2 of the Advent Calender and the theme for today (If you couldn't see the big letters above) Is Candy Canes! Yes, the sweet, sugary, colorful treats that are often seen this time of year. They can be fruity, minty, chocolatey, or really anything. And because of the wide variety of flavors they can have, I want you to design your own! I have for you a candy cane template that you can use to design your own candy cane. Of course, if you don't want to use my template... You don't have to! If you find one that you like more, then personalize that one instead.

Here are the rules for this event!

[li]This is a two part event. 1) Design/Color your own Candy cane. You don't need supreme Photoshop skills to be able to do this. Just something simple will be fine. 2) Explain what you designed. What flavor is it, why did you choose the colors that you did? The colors don't have to match the flavor, but at least explain what it is to us.[/li][li]Here is the template that I've provided for you. (LINK) Again, you DO NOT have to use this template. If you'd rather use another, feel free! If you genuinely do not have any way whatsoever to color anything like it, let me know. But I believe most computers have some way of allowing you to color something, same with most smart phones and tablets having a free app that can be downloaded. If you don't have one on your computer, see if this in-browser program will work (LINK)
[/li][li]This is a Submission Event! This means that all entries into this event are to be PMed to Gift Giver. The thread will be locked until the voting phase begins.
[/li][li]This is a TWO DAY EVENT! That means that 48 hours from the time of posting, this event can be closed. Will it be closed immediately after that point? Nope! The thread isn't closed until I say that it is. So if I haven't posted saying it's closed, you can submit! However, each day is for something separate. The first day is for submissions, the second day is for voting. So submissions will only be accepted in the first 24 hours.
[/li][li]As it says above, voting will be done to decide the winners. After the first 24 hours, I will post the submissions. After that, another 24 hours will be given for the site to vote on what they think is the best designed candy cane.
[/li][li]If you have a problem with any of the rules, PM Me! I'm an easy going guy, and if you waiting on a PM from me prevents you from entering this event, no worries. I will give you an extension equal to the amount of time you were waiting on me to respond. (If during the submission phase, the submission phase will be extended, and the voting will be held off until the extension is done.)
[/li][li]Make sure to follow the four rules I listed in the main thread. Here's a link for convenience sake. (LINK)[/li][li]Each person can only submit one entry. And when it comes to the voting, you CANNOT vote for yourself.
[/li][li]In regards to the prizes (Listed below), including the entry into the drawing and the 24 event prize given at the end, a Submission must be given. Just voting in the event does not count as participating. You must at least submit an entry.[/li][/ul]

Now for the fun part... The prize! The prize for Day 2's event is... a mystery! Yep, keeping this one hidden (Most will be like this). However, I will say there is a First, Second, and Third place prize here. The voting is what will determine that. There will also be a participation prize just for submitting. And, as with all events, a chance to win one of five grand prize packages at the end of the event. Plus, remember that you have to participate in all 24 events to receive a special prize package at the end! So go out there and show us what kind of Candy Cane you can come up with.

LET THE VOTING BEGIN

Listed below are all the submissions in the Day 2 Event "Candy Cane Design". We had a turnout of 21 total submissions, but now it is up to the site to determine the winners! There are three main winners (First, Second, and Third), with participation prizes for all of them. But first we have to see who is getting what!

Every member is allowed to vote for Three entries here. BUT You cannot vote for your own entry. If you do, your vote does not count. (And be grateful I don't pull your entry for it). Just post in this thread with the "CC #" that you are voting for. Maximum votes is 3, but you don't have to vote for 3 if you don't want to. This event will continue for the next 24 hours, so you have that long AT LEAST to vote. VOTING DOES NOT END UNTIL I POST IN THIS THREAD TO END IT! So if I haven't posted yet, then feel free to cast your vote!

As always, if you have any questions, let me know. Without further ado.... MAY THE BEST CANDY CANE WIN!

Self Explanatory

CC 2

This is idea behind my candy cane. It is a candy cane that, once eaten, will cause the consumer to glow in the color most suited to their alignment. For example someone who could be described as good would emit a pure white glow, where as someone who is evil would glow dark black. As for those who are inbetween they would glow grey.

I chose the colors of the candy cane in accordance to its purpose, to visibly reveal someones true colors. The candy cane would taste sweet to people with a good alignment and sour to those with an evil one; for people with neither it would taste like mint. The actual flavor if it be sweet or sour would depend on the their personal taste, in other words the candy cane will taste like strawberry if that is the persons favorite flavour.

CC 3

Alright, I believe I gotta say what flavor it is, yes?  The flavors are despair, coal, and blood.  Coal and Blood obviously have their own distinct tastes, but what does despair taste like you ask?  Well...a lot like black liquorice, so completely gross.  lol.  Black for coal, grey for despair, and dark red for blood.  The pink Teddy Bear is hope, he's a gummy bear...but he's expired.  It happens.  So he's no longer edible by normal standards.  Another delicious bit of candy brought to you by Hogwarts, makers of those god awful jellybeans.

CC 4

Chose the colors cream lime and lime. Why? Because lime cream soda is amazing and everyone should enjoy the amazing flavors that lime brings out. No rhyme or reason for lemon, lemon ain't needed at all, must go all out on the lime! Everyone loves cream soda, so put the lime in the coconut, shake it all up, and enjoy the gratifying flavor of LIME!!!

CC 5

The main piece of the wand is a hollow and squiggly piece of tube which is clogged at the top. The inner most layer is as the outmost layer made out of caramel with the taste of fresh strawberry, while the middle layer is made out of a creamy and discrete mint flavor. The middle layer is mostly to make the strawberry taste appear fresher without making the weird taste combination between strawberries and mint struggle. What makes the wand so special is however its handle, which is made out of a rather soft plastics and is filled up with easily melted chocolate. So when the person eating the wand, the chocolate in the handle will melt from the hands heat and then travel up into the tube by the pressure from the persons grip on the handle. Since the tube is relatively thin, its not hard to push the chocolate up when its melted.

CC 6

This is my submission for a candy cane. While it may look almost normal, it is different than a regular candy cane. It is a red velvet cake flavored candy cane, the yellowish stripes being cream cheese icing flavored. The long, whiter stripe running down the middle is white chocolate flavored, giving the candy cane the full pallet of flavors that one would normally find on a red velvet cake.

CC 7

Introducing the Festive Flavor Christmas Candy Cane! It combines a variety of fruity flavors with chocolate between each layer for the most intense taste sensation! First is the apple with its sweetness, followed up with the tang of grape. After that the sour and sweetness of strawberry and then the taste of mango. Finally the citrusy orange and sour lime. This is a taste sensation you absolutely cannot miss out on! Believe me when I say that anyone with a bucket list can't pass the bucket before trying it.

CC 8

This candy cane is a honey-to-raspberry shifting flavor. If you start at the hook, you'll taste smooth honey. The straight end is sweet raspberry. You can either start at the honey and transition to the sharper sweetness of raspberry, or go the other way and have the intensity cool down to the milder taste of honey.

The bear is milk chocolate. Its eyes are dark chocolate. His ears taste like strawberries.

CC 9

Nightmare for Christmas Peppermint Candy Cane is a frightful treat for those who wish to add a bit of dark side to their Christmas. This candy canes are both dark and tasty at the same time, sticking with the traditional peppermint flavor, but with a dark side. The zombie bear is included and comes with extra blood to add an even more gruesome scene. Never have a plain old candy cane every again! Revel in your dark side this Christmas with this new treat.

The candy cane which is here depicted must be acknowledged to be the best, or at least the beerst, candy cane desingned. Candy canes have long been the domain of the young, but now it is time for a change. The beer candy cane is flavored like, and has alcoholic properties similar to, the wonderful beverage which caused civilization to form. Which of course, for you uneducated barbarians, is beer. The beer candy cane has all the drunkening strength of a distilled spirit, but still that delicious taste of a good, glass of ale.

CC 11

it's blue raspberry and wintergreen by the way.

favorite flavor + a decent mint. because a non-mint candy cane is almost criminal

CC 12

As I am in fact a loather of candy in all it's annoying crunchy crackly forms, I've decided that this particular cane is liquorice wrapped around a chocolate spiral, delectable.

The chocolate is my favorite 65% rich extra dark chocolate and the liquorice is simple black unflavored liquorice, the best way to eat it. 

CC 13

RASPBERRY MINT CHOCOLATE
With a base of chocolate flavor, purple and light green stripes twirl around the entirety of the Candy Cane, causing a blend of both raspberry and minty flavor. I chose the colors based off of what I felt correctly represented the flavors (Brown being chocolate, purple being raspberry, and green being mint). I decided since I like all three flavors, especially in candy, that they would be a fantastic combination for a candy cane if it doesn't already exist. Besides, all three flavors could go really, really well together!

CC 14

Meet the T1000, the Terma-Bear, the next generation of soft cuddly death-bots. He is holding our other new product. The Choco-cherry doom cane. We have found that this flavor combination not only is the most delicious, it also attracts those of the proper targeted demographic, which happens to be all of them. With a  Just one lick and tooth decay and cavities are sure to follow. Thank you for considering Sky-bite for you candy and security needs.

CC 15

A delectable sweet straight from the psychedelic workshop of Santa himself. This Mellow Out candycane offers three flavors -  radical blue raspberry, lysergic lime, and gnarly grape. One lick of this sweet stick will have you tripping out in a positive and eye-opening way. You'll be seeing flying reindeer, elves and perhaps even Santa himself in no time!

Just from looking at the placid and happy face of the gray bear embracing the wonderful tasting treat, you can see why this candycane has its name. 

CC 16

Sooo Candy cane. It is in the colours I mostly associate with the holidays. Cardinal red, white and yellow. Since strawberry is not only overrated but also because it usually ends up tasting like a chemical the red is raspberry flavour. Raspberries are OP anyway. Then comes the delicious white which is no flavours added, just that plain old sugary taste. Now what would yellow be? Orange flavour of course! Because I like oranges. The bear I painted brown, orange and yellow, mainly because those are the colours I associate with stuffed bears. It's flavours are cotton. For all colours.

CC 17

Much like the Magical World of Harry Potter I'm introducing the Every-Flavor Candy Cane! Some are good, some are bad. Take a lick and see what combinations there are in store! Don't be fooled by the bears cute appearance! He's actually a candy bear, cute enough to eat amiright?!

Now let's start at the top! In a fascinating shade of fuchsia we have... Eggplant! That delicious purple Queen of Vegetables! The Every-Flavor Candy Cane also features traditional Christmas flavors such as peppermint, egg nog, and turkey! But you can never tell until you try it! Is that black patch liquorice or pepper? Is that red delicious peppermint, or paprika? Not only are the individual flavors amazing the combinations will blow your mind! Or your palette!

CC 18

The white is vanilla, the red is strawberry.

CC 19

It's awesome, if you don't mind me saying.
It's half and half! Top half is soft yummy marshmallow with stripes of jam over it. It smoothley lays on top of the bottom half with is chocolate and light minty layered. Mmm...

CC 20

Behold! The most colourful candycane of all time! The multicoloured candy consists of a series of different flavours ranging from mint flavoured to orange, lemon, watermelon and strawberry! Each section of the cane is carefully filled with the flavours to keep the eater guessing what other flavours will come out of this small candy. The bright colours are designed to deliver a happy feeling as nobody wants a blue Christmas!

CC 21

Skittle Cane
Taste the Rainbow Cane

The Skittle Cane is based off of the Skittles. Each Color represents a specific taste.
Red is Strawberry
Orange is Orange
Lemon is Yellow
Lime is Green
Blackcurrant is Purple

The Skittle Cane is a sweet cane with a hardened shell instead of a chewy fruit candy. It allows the eater to experience the whole rainbow without having to chew, making the Skittle Cane a long lasting delicious delight.

Congratulations to all of you for your wonderful submissions. But of course, the prizes are what we really like! For the Day 2 Candy Cane contest, the first, second, and third prizes are a choice. You could choose either a set allowance that you can use to buy whatever overview weapons you'd like. You're also allowed to add some of your Ryo to that allowance if you need a little extra. AND these items can be distributed amongst your character. OR You could choose some rolls from the Thanksgiving event, which the items can also be split up amongst your characters once you get the results. Getting the allowance allows you to choose exactly what you'd like, but you're stuck to a certain amount. Getting the rolls COULD give you something more valuable, but you could also get less. So the choice is completely up to you!

Raika Tatsu... For placing first, you can choose either 100,000 Ryo in Weapon allowance OR Six rolls from the list of Thanksgiving Items.

Seira Kimura and The Doctor... For placing second, you can choose either 70,000 Ryo in Weapon Allowance OR Four rolls from the list of Thanksgiving Items.

Draven and Oron Kazeraikou... For placing third, you can choose either 40,000 Ryo in Weapon Allowance OR Two rolls from the list of Thanksgiving Items.

As for the participation prize... The remaining Sixteen participants receive 15,000 Ryo in weapon allowance. And as with the rest, you can add your own Ryo in to make up for the difference in price if you'd like.

WINNERS PLEASE READ!

Going to go ahead and add this in really quick... These allowances can be used for ANY Non-Questable items. Apparal, Gadgets, Skill Books, Even Augmentation Rituals.

If it is an item that requires a percent chance to find, a dice roll will be done to determine if you receive the item. You cannot re-roll the dice for that item if you don't pass it. If you are looking to get an item with a percentage on it, PM Me and I'll do the roll before you post up here what you're getting. I will PM you back the result of the roll.

Thank you all for participating in this event! Your Candy Cane designs were all wonderful. They were creative and out-there and that's what we were looking for. For those who participated and the winners, please list below what you'd like as far as a prize. If you'd like the Thanksgiving rolls, then I will perform the rolls as necessary. Once the rolls are done, just list here which items are going to which accounts. If you choose the allowance, please quote the items that you are taking, and list which accounts they are going to.

AND as with all of the other events, the 21 entries into this event have all received an entry into the prize packages at the end. Thanks again and keep tuned into the Advent Calender event for more prizes and more fun!
