This situation is getting slightly out of hand. While I realize some people are getting frustrated about not receiving their wyrms immediately, please try to be more considerate and patient of others. Pony has been in contact throughout the last month saying that she had computer issues, followed by Thanksgiving, and immediately followed by MFF. This time of year gets crazy for everyone and most people have a life and commitments outside of wyrms. I know that everyone would like answers but publicly posting that you're going to file a PayPal claim isn't the proper way of addressing this issue. I know this leaves a very sour taste in my mouth about the thought of ever hosting one of these myself.

Some things you can do that are more appropriate:
- PM Pony about the status
- Ask for a refund if you're too impatient (I'm sure someone else would love another wyrm)
- PM a CDF Staff member and we'll look into it (anyone in an orange or red name or myself)
- If you still receive no contact in the manner you'd like: privately open a PayPal claim and they'll contact Pony themselves
- Leave feedback on the Feedback Board and only trade/buy/sell from Handlers you deem trustworthy

Please also remember that Pony is a long time member who has run these giveaways in the past. There is no reason to believe she is anything other than busy right now.

For the time being, I have contacted Pony and will be locking this thread until I can hear from her.

Unlocking this thread so Pony can respond. I will ask folks to be patient, this is the absolute worst time of year for most artists, I know I personally am waiting until after Jan 1st to ship stuff so holiday mail thieves don't 'aquire' someone's wyrm package. I've had this problem twice now, and it only gets worse the closer we get to Xmas, sadly.

Hello all, I told myself I wouldn’t come back here until I had concrete news to report. As of tonight (well, I guess 4AM is technically morning) I have finished packing and stamping all packages from the newbie draw. I want to apologize to everyone who participated this time around as holding it this late in the year unfortunately ran me right up against the busy Thanksgiving/winter con season and subsequent prep. I failed to send them out when I wanted to, pre-Thanksgiving. I transported the wyrms and all their boxes and packaging from Pennsylvania to Indiana stuffed between cartons of books and t-shirt stock for MFF in an attempt to pack packages from there and ship them in some sort of hope that I’d have enough down time to not mess up anyone’s orders. Also failed there; the idea that I'd have free time before or after one of the biggest cons of the year was kind of laughable in hindsight, tbh. So glad I could drive six little empty cardboard boxes across four states and back. Worse, on top of that, I forgot to bring the cards for the wyrms and had been gone from home so long that I can’t remember where I put them, as I had had them set aside specifically for the batch so I wouldn’t have to dig through my pack of cards yet again to find them all. If/when I find the cards I will be shipping them separately at my own expense.

So after all this, I decided to include a special “thank you” gift in each box that I am now shipping out, and I think it’s still early enough that they should be arriving in time for Christmas. They are all unique wyrm-related surprises and they are a token of appreciation for people having been patient with me trying to orchestrate my one-man band career and juggling the newbie draw at the same time. I do think however that this will be my last newbie draw for some time. I’m not happy with causing anyone stress over what's supposed to be a fun game and I don’t blame people for being upset (I’m upset at myself as well), so for that I want to apologize, and this is why I will be bowing out for a while. By now you should have received your tracking numbers via Paypal e-mail. Thanks for participating and enjoy your new babies. Share photos and have fun with them!

Hey Pony,
Thanks for this update but I really don't think it was necessary to include something in the package. Stuff happens and I for one am sorry to hear that you have been stressed about this. You are so kind, generous and caring to do this for the newbies. I look forward to seeing you at Anthrocon 2017 and any other con that I can get to. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. You deserve it!!!!!

P.S Thank you for the gift!!

Hey Pony!
It's alright I understand you have a life outside this game and I'm just glad to hear from you! Thanks in advance for the extra gift, it'll be an amazing 'Christmas present' for me and my sister. You are way to kind, I'm sorry you have been so stressed lately and this doesn't help much either but thank you so much!
Hope you get to relax and chill out soon! <3

Hey pony, i just recieved my two wyrms. Thanks so much for the extra gift as well. Just curious but what are these wyrms from? I didn't receive a data card so idk what genders they are. I know that homecon wyrms are technically genderless until you register them.
