%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%The Official Newbie Giveaway%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%For New Members OnlyThank you for visiting the Official Newbie Giveaway, ACC's longest running giveaway!

Please read this post before requesting items, as important information is provided regarding the giveaway.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Rules of the Giveaway%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Please read and understand all the rules carefully.» You must be a newbie (have the newbie icon next to your name). This is a Newbie Giveaway, so you must still have your newbie icon by the time you post. You will have your icon for only 2 weeks after you have signed up. If you post near the end of the 2 weeks, and still haven't gotten your item by that time, you don't have to withdraw your request. As long as you posted during your first 2 weeks, you can still get your item. Since we tend to get a lot of requests, we can only really devote time to new members instead of all members.
» You may now request 2 items. After careful consideration, the staff of the Newbie Giveaway is proud to offer each new member 2 items from AC:CF, AC:WW and AC:GC.
Note: Please be sure to state which game the items are for.
» You may not order anything that cannot be ordered from the AC:GC/AC:WW/AC:CF catalogs. This includes Gulliver, Wendell, Saharah, Gracie, Event, Golden, Mario, Hybrids, Hacks (a list of AC:CF hacked items can be found
here), Royal set, and Katie & Kaitlin items, among others. If you order an item that cannot be ordered, you will be asked to choose another item. A list of AC:CF items can be found
here. AC:CF Unorderables can be found
here, and AC:WW Unorderables can be found
here.
» If you are ordering an AC:GC item, the item you request must not be in your inventory. This is actually a requirement to even let us give you the item. If your catalog says that you have the item, then the trading post won't allow us to give it to you. If you could, it would be much easier if you put the item on your wishlist. That way we can find it easier. Make sure to go into your catalog and check that before posting your request for an item.
» Please state which game you want the item for. If you are ordering an item that is in both games (or are unsure if it is in both games) please state which game you want it for so we know which one to get you. If you do not post the game, we will put you down for your default town’s game, or ask you which game it is for if we are unable to determine it. Overall, this will speed up your order greatly, so please remember to state the game.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%The Process of Ordering%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%Please read and understand how to order here.1. Correctly order the items you wish to have delivered to you.
2. Your order will be taken by one of our item distributors within
48 hours.
3. You will receive a trade (if for ACGC) or a PT (if for AC:WW/AC:CF) by the deliverer in regards to your order.
4. Their post will have instructions on what to do; please follow these instructions and make sure to exchange friend codes (if applicable) in order for the delivery to go smoothly.
Note: Most of the time, the deliver will send you a PT about your order. If they don't, feel free to contact them.
5. The deliverer will make the effort to deliver the item within 48 hours. If this is not possible due to ACC activity or life duties, the period will be extended as necessary.
6. If you are not on ACC in a 48 hour period, or do not reply the PT your deliverer sends in 48 hours, your order will be considered expired and you will not be able to receive your item. Depending on the deliverer and case, this period may be extended, as we understand that more than 48 hours may be necessary.
