I checked and I really need her to guess to be fair to all cuz she has a date close to when I got ponies... So all please be patient with me
If you know this Irkencat please contact her on my behalf.
I've sent her 2 personal messages but she doesn't seem to frequent Arena much here
Maybe someone knows her on Facebook or another board!
More pony cheer!
Cheer on Irkencat please!!

I know sometimes for contests like this, the contest-runner will PM the last person with a PM titled "Respond within 2 weeks or forfeit!", then give them a deadline, and just sometimes have to continue on without them, sadly. I'd also suggest changing the title to 'ATTN Irkencat' too, maybe that will encourage her?

[gypsyunicorn]

Thanks
I will change title to Attention Irkencat

I sent her a final pm too
Thanks for your much needed advice and help. She has been informed she has 2 weeks to enter guess or forfeit prize. Two weeks from now! She has until December 2nd!
All your guys help and patience is much appreciated.
If anyone knows her outside of Arena please nudge her to this post and I thank you!
Hopefully she will see her name in my subject title and see my message!

I think thats a better suggestion.

If she is not answering your pms, she is not likely to see this thread or perhaps appreciate being called out in a thread title. I would simply set a limit on the response - perhaps even by the end of this weekend and then the person is out. I am sure they wont mind. Real life gets in the way.

[Snapdragon]

That's a good point, Hathorcat. I wasn't thinking that she might be offended by the title, I thought it might just drive the point home that we need her! But the PM deadline is a good idea. Depending on how long you've already been waiting for her, you could make the deadline shorter if you wish, like Hathorcat said! It may simply be that she isn't on the Arena as much anymore, so now matter how long we wait, she might not show up in time. Sad for her though!

[gypsyunicorn]

I changed the title and I'm keeping the date I told her in my last PM to be fair.
So cheer on Irkencat and please be patient. I stick to my word. I gave her 2 weeks from my last message to her and I stick to my word. It seems fair.

The opening of the box of a random pony act of kindness surprise given to me by the wonderful Hannah. I did not know I was given the last pony that took me nearly a year to find.

The beautiful card she enclosed which she chose because she said it looked like mermaid and she knows how much I love them.

So any guesses now?

How about now......?

Umm here is a clue...Its a surprise box filled with a Secret Surprise and this girl is the last one so she is kind a getting to be a star because she is getting all the attention out of all the last ponies 

Is it odd? I had nothing to do with this either! It wasn't planned. Ponies were found when they were found and to be honest for those completing their g1 collection let me tell you this "When you see a secret surprise pony with saddle get it!! Don't wait and go for other ponies instead! Finding intact with saddle takes forever!!"

Isn't she gorgeous?!
Secret Star is thee last one!! So all those who guessed Secret Star in that last round of guesses were right!! Great job!!

Here is a group shot of all the US G1 missing ponies I needed and acquired this year!!Baby sugarcake had to have her sister in the shot. She was acquired long ago last year through the Arena and missed her sister so she came to meet her for this picture. Out of those two only sugarcake was needed and in contest.

What a job this was and I want to shout out a huge  thank you to all the Arena pals who cheered me on and supported me on this mission! Finding these were not easy and it brings tears to my eyes again knowing my last pony was a random surprise gift from a pony pal!! She is super sweet and wonderful and she is the big brag because ponies build friendships and that is the best gift ever!!

I gave Irkencat until December 2 to guess. I am sad to say that time has passed.

We only had 2 guesses for Secret star so I am going to reward 2 people prizes instead of 1!
I am still waiting on a pony I purchased off eBay that is also from an Arena member for our cheer winner ajmeier55
It is coming to me from overseas so I am allowing time. I wish I knew how to track it. I fi need help I know you guys will help me figure that out. I am never worried here thanks to my pals. So patience please. Your gifts will get to you.

Ok so now down to business.....announcement of winners!!

 The winner is:
Cassstorm with her Secret star guess and her November date being the 21st!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd place winner:
archidraca with her guess of secret star and her November guess date being the 26th!!!

Messages will be sent. Second place winner will be given a smaller pony prize then 1st place winner. I do hope whatever random pony prizes I decide to give you will like. All I ask is: once you receive your prize show off your prize here. If you may and its allowed please leave feedback for me too because I'm holding up my end on sending you what you earned.


Thank you Arena and members for supporting me and allowing me this opportunity to share and hold such a fun contest!!
Pony hugs & Kisses to all!!
