Dammit. Is what I get for trying to forumquest in the middle of a meeting that I have to pay attention in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The worst is being on the winning end and then a decaying skeleton runs by and knocks your shit sideways.

Why wouldn't they if they supported the idea, and the contest is for all our viewing pleasure and a 1/25 chance to win a fungi for 5k.

I apologize I thought this was in server chat, not in EC tunnel forum section. I have no comment.

When did Fungi's start going for 125k?

[Erati]

soon we will see AoN contests with 80 players and 5K buy ins

Nobody buys overpriced, EC flipped items....so how are they gonna sell them......disguise as a contest!

Why do you have to basically receive more plat than this item is worth for holding this? This screams less and less about fun good will, and more like a way to flip your item for a profit.

GL to you

As I have stated in other posts. Plat and items hold no value to me except to do fun contests (that no one else is offering) free giveaways, be able to set my bet limit higher to cater to more people. Why should I make an extra 25k for hosting the contest? No one else is hosting them and I'd like to be able to make them a regular thing. I'm not hiding the fact that I'd be making 25k (roughly) profit on the contest. No one else is hosting contests on their free time for cost of the item or hosting contests period. I'm just trying to add some spice to people who like these ideas, so why don't you set up a contest and I'll be the first person to sign up.

(No one else is offering the chance to win a fungi for 5k)

I'd like ideas to help ensure that the contest is 100% fair, so please if you want to comment on how there's a 25k profit, or how 1/25 chance to win a fungi for 5k is terrible odds, I ask you to refrain. This thread is for people who want to participate in the idea. No one is making you do this.

To reiterate: I don't need items or plat for anything in game. I'm not trying to tweak my bard more than he already is. The play I make isn't going into selfish reasons. (I know this might be hard for people to believe but I have no use for any items) So I fail to see what is wrong with offering a contest for a chance to win a fungi for 5k. As wrench said sounded interesting until he realized there was a 25k profit.. Who cares it's a chance to win a fungi for 5k. I don't see any other chances to get a fungi for 5k or less besides camping it or winning my fungi random.

if thats the case, why not make it 20 @ 5k or 25 @4k?

25 at 4k or 20 at 5k would bring in 100k (about average price of the fungi) this is my reason why I say 25 at 5k.

I think 5k is fair for a 1/25 chance to win the fungi, also the time and effort I have to put in to make sure it's 100% fair. (I have a reputation that I'd like to keep.) plus like I said I do free giveaways fairly often in EC Tunnel which goes into the 25k profit. I know its hard to believe that I'm not trying to selfishly profit, you're just going to have to take my word on it. I'm getting tired of defending the profit margin on the contest I really don't see why it's such an issue that I make any profit off the contest when I'm offering you the chance to win a fungi for 5k. If someone else wants to do the same exact idea and make the 25k profit SWEET sign me up. I'll play. Hell if they wanna make 50k profit I'm still down at the chance to win a fungi for 5k through a player event.

With that all said, can we focus on getting this contest set up and getting some solid rules in place to make it 100% fair. Otherwise if no one wants to do this, I'll post my other idea for a contest.

By all means, anyone else that wants to set up a contest (with a profit or not for a fungi do it) be my guest. Like I said I'll be the first to sign up.
