Dodo Day has arrived with a bang and an action packed day.

Firstly the winner of the Bear photo contest was revealed as Oprys Pax whose bear was enjoying lunch with a friend.

Weve opened up a Contest to see how you like to snap your bears doing what bears like to do or maybe what we never knew they did. We see the result tomorow for that.

we also had our Best In Breed contest with the winners:

1. Pebea Destiny 

Dear oYo Community,

It is with a huge smile on our face’s and a warmth in our heart’s that we can confirm we raised a HUGE.... 221000 iz in todays Pre-season Auction which is equal to 391USD for RFL!

That’s over 220k in the pot for the start of this seasons RFL campaign. That makes me wonder what heights we can reach during the season... I look forward in finding out.

Thank you all so much you guys are amazing.

We started by closing out Cat napping contest from yesterday and we had great top 3 winners and the competition was stiff:

1. Pebea Destiny 

We finished this round of bear voting with some of the special release coats we have had, including the tattoo and spice bears. There was an outright favourite that everyone seemed to love with not much between 2-4th. The results were:

1st - Black Tattoo Bear = 30 points

2nd - Hot Secrets Bear = 19 points

3rd - Valentine Bear = 16 points

Its Raining Cats & Dogs literally today as we shift our attentions to the smaller cats with the less pointy teeth and their best friends, or it that mans best friend the dogs!

 

We put our very latest coats to the test with our breeders taking to the polls and voting for their favourite Clydes, Arabians and Shetlands new coats. We had a great turn out with the results taking the following shape:

 

Arabians V2.5

 

1st - Black Arabian = 25 points

 

2st - White Arabian = 23 points

 

3rd - Bay Arabian = 13 points

 

4th - Gray Arabian = 12 points

 

5th - Sorrel Arabian = 8 points

 

Two clear front runners with only 1 point separating 3rd from 4th with the Sorrel just missing out on a top 3 spot to the cremello by one point. The race for first wasn’t an easy battle either with the results flip flopping as the notecards were counted.

 

Maybe you think your favourite should have won but you didn’t vote. Well make it right and get voting on the latest line up at the oYo Inworldz Reception Area.

 

Clydesdales

 

1st - Black Clydes = 25 points

 

2nd - Seal-Bay Clyde = 23 points

 

3rd - Strawberry Clyde = 17 points

 

4th - Bay Clyde = 6 points

 

5th - Chestnut Clyde = 1 point

 

Top 2 changed as the votes were being counted all the time, but sadly only 1 person had some love for the chestnut.

 

Shetlands

 

1st - Chocolate Shetland = 21 points

 

2nd - Black Shetland = 19 points

 

3rd - Cremello Shetland = 18 points

 

4th - Sorrel Shetland = 17 points

 

5th - Silver Shetland = 10 points

 

6th - White Shetland = 9 points

 

7th - Beige Shetland = 5 points

 

It’s very close at the top

 

Day 1 - Breeders Fayre stars with a Bang!

We kicked off our 3rd annual inworldz breeders fayre on Sunday with a 2 hour long dance-athon with DJ Glom. Martin is a long time oYo breeder and set the bar high for the rest of the week with his fantastic dance remixes. Whie we were dancing our glowsticks off we raised some funds for RFL with donations coming in fast from party goers. We also ran a contest with 3k on the board for a Best In Animal theme and we matched that donation in the pot for RFL.

We had 1 lucky winner, Jewel, who took a huge chunk of the prize pot with 3 fantastic runner ups taking the rest of the spoils Pebea, Pan and Phayze.

 

 

Roans

 

1st - Black Roan = 50 points

 

2nd - Blue Roan = 48 points

 

3rd - Red Roan = 28 points

 

So you can see not much at all in the position for first place with black just nipping it from blue.

 

 

 

Walkers

 

1st - Red Walker = 49 points

 

2nd - Sepia Walker = 37 points

 

3rd - Black Walker = 32 points

 

4th - Brown Walker = 8 points

 

That poor brown walker bringing up the rear.

 

Maybe you didn’t vote and your vote could have made all the difference, don’t miss out on other votes and visit the reception area today for the next round of voting.

 

Results are in:

Your top Roans are - 1st Black, 2nd Blue, 3rd Red.

Pebea Destiny was our lucky random draw winner.

Your top Walkers are - 1st Red, 2nd Sepia, 3rd Black.
