Fungi Raffle! (Different Idea :-P)

[zforrestal]

Fungi Raffle! Selling 100 tickets for 1.1k each. You can buy as many tickets as you want (No picking numbers) you get your raffle ticket when you pay. I will post all players who paid with their raffle numbers in this thread. When I sold the 100th ticket I will do the drawing. /random 1-100 if your raffle ticket hits you win a Fungi! I will also Screen Shot the drawing with date and time stamp and post the winner on the forums! (I assume it will be harder to get all players who paid for a ticket online at the same time, so this seemed the most sensible way to do this) If you are not online when the drawing happens, the item will be held onto until you claim it. (I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!)

I will NOT give the item to a friend/guildiee/alt, item must be claimed by the character who bought the raffle tickets. (NO EXCEPTIONS)

If I don't sell 100 tickets by Jan. 30th, everyone will be given a refund. (Again I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN, and REFUND YOU whether you like it or not) Ill post all refunds given back on forums as well, to track who has been refunded and who has not.

I'd also like to point out, unlike normal ticket raffles, you know your chances of winning because you can see how many tickets each person bought. Most raffles you have no idea if the guy who won bought 30 tickets.

When I sell the 100th ticket, I will post on the forums a date and time for everyone to show up. (Most likely 2 days from when I sell the final ticket)

To be fair to all players, I will not reserve tickets nor inform you personally when x amount of tickets are sold. You can either watch the ooc chat in EC Tunnel, or follow this thread to see how many tickets have been bought. I update the list every time I sell a ticket.

PST to Tookie if interested in buying tickets! I'm always online.

Hmm someone should buy 85 tickets and profit.

As I said, buy as many tickets as you want. It's a raffle.. if you guys never seen a ticket raffle before I'll be shocked :-P

[AceTravis]

Buy 85 tickets then your number not get rolled would be pretty smart as well. That's like buying 175,223,510 Powerball tickets with every possible combination if the lump sum prize is over $175,223,510 after taxes. Then 3 people win and you are left with a big negative. Well done.

That is the risk of the raffle :) I hope this idea is better suited for everyone than my previous ideas.

Oh really? That is how things work. Go on, explain more of life's mysteries to us.

[Galvatar]

I can vouch for 'Ol Tookie. He is a fan of chance, and always fair.

[Vega]

I like this one. Gives a chance to us po folk ;)

One suggestion:

When you get to 100 tickets, set a time a day or so out to do the /ran, and post it here. Not all will be able to make it, but the ones that can would have the option. I think it would be more fun for people that way. Could even do it in NRO tunnel or something different.

Ok I will post the day and time after I get all 100 tickets. Ill try and make it 2 days after 100 tickets are sold.

[citizen1080]

I'm in for 5 tickets sir =)

You have to buy them in game, I do not accept offers over the forums. I post the tickets sold after I have sold them. So come to T1 and find me.

[citizen1080]

Doubt I'll be in game anytime soon so gl

[zforrestal]

Sorry Bob :( I have to take tickets as they are bought in game just for fairness. I will be doing more of these if this one is a big success so don't worry!

[The_DarkSavant]

are YOU ready to be a winner!? buy your ticket now!

Can you just convert all of my losses from the previous two nights into two raffle ticket purchases? =P

Of course not! :-P

/bump

[Daldaen]

You may only bump every 16 hours. Not every 6 (or even 2 if you count a reply to someone else in your thread).

Edit: Not the police, just want people to actually follow the stickied rules. Stuff like don't bump every hour and don't sell characters are pretty normal requests to be made of people here I think.

[Redstars]

Daldaen since when are you the police? jesus

I'll bump as many times as I want when people keep asking me where on the forums and they can't find it. I'm not spamming it like crazy so chill. It got to the bottom of page 2 people couldnt find it so I /bump for them sue me


In addition it took me 2 days to sell all the tickets.. and I wanted to run a level 1 duel instead of a raffle. So for those of you who think it takes 1 hour or less to host any player run event (you're an idiot) this comment applies to the idiots who think everything should be done free and hosting events are cakewalk. :)

[Redstars]

GO MANJUnK!

Lol I need manjunk to log into tunnel!

Technically last night was a wash since the server was lagged so bad lots were just logging in and out. Actually a little bummed since I wanted to buy a ticket but it was already too late when I got on tonight.

But beyond that, the above quote did get into an odd rant. Why are you upset?

[zforrestal]

hahaha because some guy told me it would take me 1 hour to set up a level 1, 25 player, naked duel contest and I shouldnt make a profit off hosting an event because it would only take an hour to manage it all.. I was gonna do the level 1 duels instead of the raffle but 5k a piece 25 people. Idea was shot down because I wanted a profit for taking the time and effort to make sure everything was proper and I knew it would take a week or so to work out everything.

So yea slight rant cuz idiots think it's easy to set a player run contest. Raffle was easy a 25 man duel not so much.

[Zoesha]

you should sell tickets for 1.5k each then make a 10k profit margin.

[citizen1080]

I might next time, this was just to test the waters and since I haven't been on in over a year I'm trying to rebuild my rep again :)

[citizen1080]

It is a good idea. I almost did this a few different times over the years but at the time I was making anywhere from 5k to 100k for 20mins of work doing Character escrow/sales and viewed a raffle as too much work for the return.

Now that my cash cow is hamburger that return doesn't look too shabby =)

[stewe]

Nice way to do it man, still make 110k and give people with not alot of money a chance at a tunic, Kudos man and good luck to the ticket holders.

[zforrestal]

Thanks, by all means anyone else that wants to set up raffles, or player contests please do! I'd like to participate in some besides host! I have another fungi ready for another raffle since this one went smoothly.

[EQsale]

Bump for a Great person talked to him many times and its a fun thought

Should have limited the tickets per person tho

Wish the few that bought 1-2 tickets the best of luck

[caleros]

cmon 7 or 8

[Swamphunk]

Aren't raffles generally for good causes?! Give that 110kpp to 'Make a Wish for a Handsome Troll' foundation and you have yourself a sale!

Arrived in Las Vegas yesterday, Bachelor party with like 10 friends. I blacked out drunk at 3am, somehow made it back to the hotel, woke up at 2pm hungover as fuck all day and finally logged in and son of a gun I won the fungi raffle how awesome is that!

Thanks for running a great game Tookie looking forward to the next one!!!
