Red Dragon Scale Raffle

[Ranmaru2]

Hey everyone,

With the relative success of the Red Dragon Scale Lottery, I figured that maybe we can start talking about the next event. We saw ~25 people interested in the Red Dragon Scale Lottery after I took up organization of it, and so I thought that maybe the next time we can change it to a raffle with different tiers of prizes. Now since there was 25 people and I'm sure we can find more (I heard a few in game interested), so I think the next time we can try for 50. A little ambitious I know, but if we don't get enough, then I'll permit double registration only if there are not more than 25 people interested, that way there's no bigger advantage for one person over everyone else.

I figure we can have ~5 different prizes:

Grand prize: 20 scales, 1 or 2 epic scrolls of choice
Second Prize: 13 scales, 1 epic scroll of choice
Third Prize: 8 scales, 100kpp
Fourth Prize: 5 scales, 50 kpp
Fifth Prize: 4 scales, 15kpp
Kitty Prize: 1 Epic Scroll of the Ironweave Robe

Place: Bog Water Tavern in House P allows for a place to use General chat (if the tavern doesn't have house p blah blah blah yackity schmackity in it) or a private channel to discuss winning rolls

Method: Gather participants inside of the bogwater and roll the 5 rolls (d50 roll). Only 1 prize chance per person*
*Discussion point: (per entry if multiple? or just one chance period?)

*Door Prizes or goodie bag things? (Say 15kpp for showing up? or other ideas?)

Buy In Cost: 1 Red Dragon Scale (mail to Rtwo - Then name will be marked green - AND POST ON HERE THAT ENTRY SCALE WAS SENT)

Optional Costs: Donations of items associated with different prize tiers.

Feel free to discuss other ideas and such if you have any ideas or feel free to offer tweak feedback

edit:

- If less than 25 people are interested by 9 AM EST August 25th, 2010 the raffle will switch to all current participants being able to register for 2 spots.

- 2nd registrations still require scales to be sent in to ensure prize availability and 2nd winnings will then be allowed.

- If over 25 people then there will be a chance for buying 2nd placements, however the one prize winnings rule will take effect as not everyone will be able to buy a 2nd spot and thus your chances are greater than others' chances of winning.

People who register please post which epic scrolls you're looking for so that we can come up with a possible list for the donation of scrolls. Otherwise we'll just dump the 2nd prize and make it where it's just the scales.

Ranmaru2's epic scroll list: Ring of Silver Concord, Lion-headed Belt Buckle, Staff of Inner Sight, Bracers of Deftness, Spectral Gloves, Sword of Shadows

The rarer scrolls I can understand if we are not up to donating them just based on chances of ever seeing one, but its at your discretion.

[Thriand]

I'm game again, but only if I can have spot 16 again

Just curious though, who is providing the epic scrolls, I mean everyone is going to ask for the same scrolls (chaosblade, marlith chain, torc, etc) I don't know too many people who have all of those laying around, and are willing to part with them.

[Ranmaru2]

If someone's willing to donate then ok, otherwise I'm sure we could switch it to Shroud ingredients if that's an ok substitute

You raffle is asking for 50 scales and giving away 60. Might want to check your math.

Other than that, my best advice is to just SAY what is going to happen; cause the more you leave it up to discussion the more time this nonsense will take.

Put me in at slot 23 and I'll mail you the scale next time I logon.


PS thanks for organizing this. If it went the weekend without anyone else stepping up I was going to; but I definitely prefer being lazy

[Ranmaru2]

Math has been fixed. I just wasn't sure about which to do as the secondary grand prize. Unless you think the scales are enough?

[Gunga]

Unless there's a you-won-once-so-beat-it-loser clause, I'm in for Number 20 again and I'll throw in a boobie prize. Lemme look around a bit.

[LeLoric]

Im good for number 25 and ill throw in a scroll or something

[Ranmaru2]

OP Edited. List updated. New clauses put in under edit section.

[chester99]

I'll take slot 4 or whatever is free.

[Thriand]

went ahead and sent my red scale in from thriand.

[shel12]

i'll take spot 29.

[Sweets]

Put me in for 17 again plz

[Samadhi]

So... can we set a deadline that if we don't generate more interest we revert to the 1/20 thing we did before? I like gambling but not when it takes more than 46 and two seconds

[Ranmaru2]

I put the deadline for the <25 rule in the OP, unless we want to do it as 20? Let people know in game who you know would be interested and maybe we'll have more registration.

[Sirea]

You're going to drain me of what few red scales I have ><

Put me down for #11.

[Gartooga]

Put me down for #18

[Sweets]

Sorry but go ahead and drop me from list plz.
Going to be going across seas soon and not sure if time will permit me to play as much as I would like to.
Thanks and sorry for wasting others time)

[Ranmaru2]

List updated

[Henrieta]

[Henrieta]
