I want to point out, I'm never hiding the fact that there is a profit to be made. I think making a profit on setting up an event like this regularly shouldn't come as a surprise. It takes time and effort to make sure everyone who plays has an even chance at winning, and just time in general to set up. Profits are only going to be used to set up other events, and for the free giveaways I already provide. Hate all you want on the fact I want to make money on providing a fun experience and to provide more. Call it Greedy or whatever you want to call it, I'm just trying to set up fun for people in EC. I have no use for plat except to offer games like this to people for fun. | |||

This is NOT a giveaway. This is a scheme to make more money off of an item than it is normally worth. To maintain a casino takes seed capital way less than what you would earn here, and a casino by nature tends to MAKE you money, not lose you money. No guarantee that you don't have an inside horse. No guarantee that you will even cough up a Fungi. Minimum entry participants at a fixed cost with no additional prize support for increased participation? If you're being real you need to re-assess 'why' you're doing it if it's not for the money. | |||

You are winning a fungi.. even if the host is making profit, it doesnt matter. This is an event for a person who likes to bet just like any other casino game. Or even people who just like to "test their luck". He is giving someone a chance to win a FUNGI (~100k) for a buy in of 5k and like a previous poster said a chance 1/30? Thats a great chance IMO.
I think this is a wonderful opportunity and has not been offered yet. Those who like to have fun and want a chance at an ultra expensive item then 5k isnt really an issue. Why not look at the positive of this event. It breaks the redundant farming/grinding and gives mid level and maybe even low level characters a chance to become wealthy. I will be signing up not just because of the prize but because of the fun it will bring. Good Luck to all that enter and participate! | ||

Hrm.
Bind somewhere obscure. Collect bets. Cast Gate. Go AFK for a couple hours. Check log. Dispense reward. Pocket the rest. Brilliant.

I'm not opposed to prize support for participation, but for me not to make a profit for taking the time setting it up, and making sure everyone has an equal chance at winning is a bit much. Maybe 50k is a bit much for hosting the event but like I said profits are going to go towards other Race items and giveaways. (I do free giveaways in EC Tunnel often) Now, lets meet in the middle what would make you (you as in everyone) want to play a game like this, and for me to be able to keep doing these for everyone? Secondary prize supports is a good start. What about other ways to help me ensure everyone has an equal chance at winning etc. | ||||

50k for hosting the event is way too much - and let's not forget you've set this up as a 'minimum entry'. I would easily host this event for 10k.
Hell if I was bored I would host the event for free. What all is there to do besides a) Own a Fungi b) Own an account (free) c) Log onto account where you said you'd be, and choose a winner when they get to you? This consists of a) making sure everyone who gives you money is represented as a lvl 1 toon b) making sure that the person you give a tunic to is one of those people This is at tops 1 hour of work. People spend more time just trying to sell a fungi tunic than this, rather it be on the forums or in EC, and get nothing more than the price of the tunic. If you want to claim that you are using proceeds for charity, then you need to show your examples of charity. You can't say you're 'going to do giveaways' or that you've 'done giveaways' without any proof. Charitable entities tend to have to disclose where their funds are going. What I know about you a) You petitioned to get an ip exemption as your first post b) You asked for advice on gearing out your first char, a bard, and ended up doing it with a guardian's mace and full mystic koada'dal by 45 c) Your only other threads are about gambling schemes and how you can make money. You're less than reputable, by any stretch of the imagination. 'Other race items?' Pray tell - why do you need a huge profit to buy 'more' race items - that you will then also have a huge profit off of? Does this culminate in some huge robin-hood event? The whole thing stinks. | ||
