Last week I had a Rising Star [contest](https://ecency.com/hive-195370/@shauner/rising-star-new-pack-opening-94971b3337891) and put up a Sarge card as the prize. Let's take a look at the rules for entry from that last post: >In order to qualify for this giveaway, leave a comment telling me your favorite color and include your Rising Star username. >If you happen to have the same favorite color as me, I'll send you a $PIZZA token! >Entries will be accepted until December 22, 2021 and I will select one winner of the R126 Sarge card. Next, let's see how many entries were received by the deadline: 33. I think this is a new participation record for my @RisingStarGame giveaways! **** ## Card Giveaway Results ## R126 Sarge: ![R126 Sarge](https://www.risingstargame.com/images/cards/R126%20Sarge.png) ![winnersarge.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmT2m2CExPW7T7eermfiU7ef6yuhR3LTP7DLZ5Tn6EU91S/winnersarge.jpg) Congratulations to @silver-edge for winning the rare Sarge card! ## What is Your Favorite Color? The requirement for entry was to share your favorite color and I offered to send a $PIZZA token to each person who had the same favorite color as me! Let's take a look at the number of responses for each color: Blue: 13 Green: 6 Purple: 4 Red: 3 Orange: 3 Black: 2 Yellow: 1 White: 1 It turns out my favorite color is also the most popular favorite of those who posted a comment, blue!

It's getting slower and slower to move up. I'm currently playing the Record A Demo mission a lot, which requires 100% energy and rewards 400-1130 starbits and 132 XP. **** ## New Giveaway! Because I received a duplicate seasonal card in my pack opening today, I'm going to give one of them away to one lucky reader! The S27 Christmas Choir card will be given away. This seems fitting since I'm posting this new giveaway on Christmas Day! ***In order to qualify for this giveaway, leave a comment with your Rising Star username and share what your New Year Resolution is for 2022. If you don't have a resolution, simply share something you're looking forward to in the new year!*** Entries will be accepted until January 1, 2022 and I will select one winner of the S27 Christmas Choir card. ![Christmas Choir](https://www.risingstargame.com/images/cards/S27%20Christmas%20Choir.png) **** ## New OneUp Token & Content Curation If you haven't heard the news, Rising Star is [now a curator](https://www.1up.zone/@flauwy/1up-for-oneup-delegation-program-dao-and-liquidity-pools-are-active) for the new OneUp token!
