Announcing the Winners of the First DonationCoder.com CodyCard Contest...

Cody the bird (the official DC mascot) absconded with a big chunk of the donations and took an expensive around-the-world vacation.  The contest was to create some postcards that Cody would send back from his vacation, from the CodyCards Page.

Winners will receive a rare DonationCoder.com collector's item, an item from the HyperRich Friends of DonationCoder.com Cafepress Shop with their winning postcard image on it... Worth over TEN MILLION DOLLARS !!!! (disclaimer: may be worth substantially less).


You can see all the entries here: https://www.donationcoder.com/Scripts/imagiine/codycards/gal/?&gal=m


And the winners are..  Stay tuned.. 



As you can see, Cody is back on his perch on the forum/site, so I guess he is well rested and ready to resume his responsibilities.  Stay tuned for the story of his adventure.

Ok, after some difficult deliberations, Allen and Nudone and I have picked out some winners to receive prizes.  There were some very good entries, but in the end, only a few could be selected.

The following members captured Cody's spirit so well that they will receive a DonationCoder.com item from the shop:

* Stefan
* Jgpaiva
* Momonan
* Rover
* Loonier
Winners, please pick out your item and email me with item # and size if its clothing ([email protected]).  For those who submitted cards but didn't win a prize - don't fret, there will be more chances to win in the future!


As for the postcards, it seems Cody was very busy during his vacation, and we learned a lot about his world wide trip.

I thought Stefan capture the truest spirit of Cody in his postcards, where we learned through Stefan that Cody really did not steal the money for his own profiteering like we first thought..

We learned that cody became a daddy, and just needed the money to take care of his kids (as a side note, we also learned that Cody does not speak perfect english):


We also learned that Cody was working hard to double the money he "borrowed" so he could bring it back as a hero:


And lastly, we learned the real reason he borrowed the money, to save his fellow birds from the flu:




Momonan painted a very different picture of Cody, as a confident rogue.  Here he is lecturing us about fixing the security holes in our site:


But then his carelessness gets the better of him and we learn he fell victim to a classic scam:




From Jgpaiva we learn that on his vacation Cody took his first trip to space but ran into some difficulty:



However he must have gotten that sorted out because from Rover we learned that he took a job for NASA and went back!



And lastly, loonier shows us that Cody can be whimsical.. During his last days he visited an alternate universe and then decided to join a chess team in india and give back all the money.




Even though in the end Cody decided to come back to DC, which we are very happy about, there may be some lingering effects of his last trip to the parallel dimension.. he has informed us that his cousin from the parallel dimension has slipped into this dimension and may be planning some trouble on the site.. so we'll have to keep our guard up in the future..

jgpaiva:
This was a good way to get to know Cody a litle bity more. Now we know he has multiple personalities. Sometimes he's unable to speak english, he has a Nasa astronaut certificate, he's a football lover, he plays chess (that's very good, for a bird!) and even that he is a SHE!!! :D
I loved to read other peoples submissions, and i'm very happy i won, there were some other very funny codycards!
Now, i hope cody will keep around for a while, Allen had a great deal of work going after him (her) throughout the galaxy! ;)

momonan:
It's really great to hear that Cody is back!!  I trust he is unharmed -- and ready to do what he can to help DC recover some of the funds he nibbled away.

I'm happy I won one of the prizes, of course, but I had my personal favorites, even a couple that didn't make the list.  Stefan's cards, though, really captured Cody's adorableness and told us so much about Cody (and Stefan).  Plus they reminded us not to make assumptions. 

It would be hard to stay away from this family for long.

allen:
Sure, it's nice to have Cody back . . . but there's just one problem.
