And the winners are...

Okay, here's how I came up with the winners....

1. I took the list of survey-takers and looked up their purchases both inworld and in XStreetSL, since Mer Betta's inception in 2007. I didn't find transactions for two of the survey-takers and they didn't respond to my IMs, so I had no choice but to cut them out to be fair to everyone else.

2. I filtered out the non-tail purchases, such as add-on packs and the SkimSurfaceSimple script. I ended up with 104 transactions sorted by customer name.

3. I created this randomizer script that would randomly choose three numbers between 1 and 104.

4. I had two (unrelated) people click the prim containing the script. The second drawing was in case there were dupes in the first one. The numbers that came up were 40, 43, 56, 70, 38, 42, in that order.

And the winners are:
#40 - Maia Beltran, for purchase of the Mer Betta Byzia Gold Delta v3c on 2010-04-06.
#43 - Melvin Starbrook, for purchase of Mer Betta Eione Midnight Version 2c in XStreetSL on 7/26/2009.
#56 - Peaches2U Camino, for purchase of Mer Betta Galene Orange v2c on 2009-09-14.

Instructions for winners
You can do one of two things:
a) You can go ahead and purchase the Series 5 tail you want at the Fantasy Faire and send me a notecard with the transaction record and I'll send you a 700L refund.
b) You can send me a notecard with the color/name of the Series 5 tail you want and I'll send you the base pack directly.

Instructions for non-winners
If you are a qualifying survey-taker (i.e.: you had at least one Mer Betta tail purchase prior to Apr 12 and you filled out this survey), you're eligible to receive a rebate on your first purchase of a Series 5 Mutation Alpha add-on pack. Send me a notecard with the transaction record and I'll send you a rebate of 200L.

Survey results
Most of you prefer the built-in editing tools and some had no preferences, so I'll leave the items modifiable with no resizing scripts. If I choose to include resizing scripts in the future, the items will still remain modifiable so you can remove the scripts, and the scripts themselves will offer an option to be deleted.

I've responded individually to most of the comments. Thank you so much for the great feedback.

And thank you for participating in this survey.
