Hiya.

Thank you to everyone for the hard work of organising all of this.  I've been there so know what a challenge it can be. :)

Last year Raffle sales (EC pot) were over 365 million EC, and we keep NONE of the EC raised through raffle ticket sales, as you see below all the EC becomes a prize.
Speaking of which.. lets take a look at the prizes.



- You are able to buy as many tickets as you like
- The ticket sellers will invite you to their bridge in game to exchange EC for the tickets.
- Your names will go on our spreadsheet eg, if you buy x2 tickets, your name will be posted twice, buy x5 your name appears 5 times etc
- If your name is drawn, you are a winner so your name cannot be drawn again
- The last day to buy a ticket is on Sat 13th July

If you cannot find a ticket seller (listed above) online, don't panic, simply send one of us an ingame mail.. or tag us in discord.
We are in Europe timezone so we will definitely get back to you and arrange a meet up in game to exchange the EC.
If we are having trouble meeting you.. an alternative solution can be made between you and the ticket seller.

A big thank you to all who have contributed toward these prizes on offer!

Good Luck in this #Pride10 #Raffle10

My greatest pride centres around my sister, Caryn Walker.

I'm the eldest of five.  When we were kids, I often had to act like a parent.  Apparently, I even used to run school classes for my siblings (register and all!).  I don't remember that or most of my childhood as it is blocked due to what happened to us.

Our parents were abusive.  Particularly, my stepfather, Caryn's real father.  For me, it was being hit with cricket bats, soup ladles and later, fists.  For Caryn, it was sexual abuse from the age of eight.  She thinks this happened to me too but, as I said, it is blocked.  I have a few hazy memories which may suggest it but early childhood is just a blank otherwise.  Later on, I do remember the constant beatings and the ever-present fear.  I used to escape into books or, when I was old enough, to my Nan's house.

Our other sister, Jenny, was taken into care at a young age.  The reasons are murky.  She ended up dying at 36 due to heroin abuse causing a brain embolism.  

Caryn took the brave step to first, tell the family about what happened and then, unbelievably, to report him and take him to court.  I went back to England in 2011 to be part of the court case as a witness.  He was found guilty on 23 counts and put away for 16 years.

This was a huge turning point for Caryn.  But, it wasn't enough.  Though it took a few years she realised she hadn't had the closure she had thought she would obtain.  She was starting to feel a burgeoning strength, a voice she had never had.  She decided to go further and try to help others in similar situations and to give voice also to our sister, Jenny.

So, with the help of a wonderful ghostwriter, Caryn wrote a book, dedicated to Jenny.  It was published last year and has been doing very well, now being translated into a few different European languages and as of a couple of months ago, finally available over here in the US.

Caryn has been interviewed by newspapers and radio, given book signings and talks at little cafes and the like and now has been invited to speak at public events for organisations such as Shatter Boys/Shatter Girls UK.

She has been inundated with positivity from people telling her how she has given them the courage to take steps for their own situations.  Over and over she is thanked by people.

This is what it was all for.  This is why she had to get it out there.  This has given her the closure she needed.  Turning a horrific negative into a helpful positive and growing that strength into a woman who will not be quiet or silenced (some of the family have tried to) and will dedicate herself to helping others.

Despite everything, Caryn has always been a warm, friendly and helpful person who people adore.  Until her revelation, nobody (including me as I just don't remember) had any idea of the struggles she had and was still dealing with due to her start in life.  She has attended Pride events and has always been supportive of me since I came out at 17 (when my mum asked me and then I was subsequently thrown out).  

With her help and encouragement I am now getting my own treatment for what Caryn was diagnosed with last year and now talks about - CPTSD, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  It is not as widely known as CPTSD but originates with systematic and prolonged trauma.  She is educating and reaching so many people.

She might be younger but I have always been in awe of her strength, particularly with regard to the above.  I doubt there is anybody I will ever feel prouder of.

As Caryn says, if you tell your own story, it could one day be a guide for others.

Thank you for reading.

Qapla'!

well which im proud of is in my puberty i took the wrong path with a disturbed mind I was seduced by drugs and with my disturbed mind I became my very own destruction.
more disturbed than i was at early 14 years the hell broke loose when i was 15 years old and heard that my father is a female.
from a simple joint around that age i was smoking too much and then i discovered the hard stuff and went from disturbed to completly mental.
Going waaaay too deep with this hard stuff and lost my mind around my 17th by a psychose and from a disturbed confused mind i turned into a paranoid anxious person and lived many years in terror of fear.
When i reached 18 i was legally free to have intercourse so i reached out with the next confused mode in my head --> Dad is a woman and how the heck does this gene affects me?(its smt personal not about genes)

Very confused i was seeking in what or who i am.
Trying bi curious met men and woman for sexual intercourse completly messed up in my head and not understanding whats all going on.
Went to many females behind a red light and searching confirmation with this confused mind of me.
It made me all more confused and now i know im straight as it can be. i allways liked female.

I paid the price to get a psychose when i was around 17 and till my 22nd year i still had many problems to solve.
but around 2012 I became homeless and thats which im very proud of.
Because from that moment I stood up and didnt let me affect the bad things that went in all my life that destructed my very own life and when i realized this i started to grow and reached a state of my mind which hold me stable to live a life where the past is past and the future is something to reach out to and achieve goals.


this is my short story and this what i am and who i am and how i reached it is whats making me proud in my life

Yaaaaay, thanks for the fun event and congratulations to the winners!
