Default Raffle

Shouldn't there be odds for the raffle? Like for 10% chance or something?

If 100 people enter the guise raffle each with 1 ticket, will 10 get masks, aka 10%?

Or will it be like 1% or 50%?

What if there are 100 guise tickets and that belong to only 20 people because 5 of them take up 50 of the tickets by donating $500 each?

What if you draw a raffle ticket for a guise and it's someone with 10 tickets. What happens when you draw another one of their tickets, does it get thrown anyway and someone else gets another chance or will you only draw 10 tickets out of 100 to keep that 10% quota?

Depending on how this works, a raffle could mean there is only one guise and and your chances even donating 500$ would only give you a 1% chance if there are 500 tickets in the run. Someone who paid 50$ would have less of a chance but 500$ seems like a lot for a chance like that.

Still would be helpful to know what they intend the odds to be. My guess is they've already decided on what % of tickets will win, and the amount given away will scale with entries at that percentage.

I guess I'd be a lot more likely to go high roller style if I got 10 tickets at 10% chance then if I had 10 tickets at .05% chance...

I'm terrified with your prediction. Especially the part about disaster.

Care to elaborate?

Winning = 50% xp pots? Getting pixels a few days earlier than everyone else?

Have a word with yourself Billy.

By definition, a raffle never has previously set odds. However many entries is the number of odds. If there are 4,000 entries, then the odds are out of 4,000. If only 4, then 4.

Right. But this raffle has the added factor that you can only win one guise even if you have 10 guise tickets.

There could be 5 players who each have 10 tickets each. That's 50 tickets. Chances are they will draw one persons tickets more then once.

If you have 50 tickets and five players, do you draw 5 tickets? What if the first 5 belong to one person, then only one person gets the guise.

What if there are 500 people with 700 tickets? Do you draw 500 tickets?
