Sup guildies,
I have decided to host a small lottery for the occasion of Valentine's Day!!!!! In order to ensure each member has an equal chance of winning a prize, I opted for a good ol' number guessing game.
Who can partake in this lottery?
All members of Oracion can sign up for the lottery. All they have to do is to be online when the lottery starts.
When will this lottery be held?
Since I'm sure most of us have other things to do on Valentine's day, the lottery will take place next week on Saturday February 21 at 10PM CET. Check what time it corresponds with for your own country, please. Its 9PM for the UK, 4PM for the US East Coast and 1PM for the US West Coast. MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON TIME!!
NOTE: Since I'm not the person to keep people from their night rest, all aussie/kiwi members will be exempt from the requirement of being online. They can send me their numbers via mail beforehand. All other members that intend to be in the mix should log on though. I believe modern technology will allow you to be online no matter where you are and the lottery shouldn't take much of your time either in case you have other plans.
What is the procedure? How can you win a prize?
Well, it's simple: if you guess the right number, you win. Taking into account the total membership of our guild, I think a number pool of zero to 9 should do. If, however, more than one person has guessed it right then there will be a second round. All 'winners' of the first round will be qualified for the second round and once again, they will pick a number. The one who guessed closest to the winning number, wins the prize.
The order of number picking will be like this: From the top of the members' list to the bottom: GM--> officers-->vets-->members-->recruits. Subsequently I will announce which number our aussie/kiwi members picked.
How can Sweet guarantee the lottery is not fixed? How can he guarantee winning numbers are chosen randomly and that the whole procedure is legit, assigning equal chances to all participants?
Well, I suppose I can't give any guarantees All I can say is there wouldn't be any fun for me if I would plan on giving the prizes to my personal favorites. Everything will be fair. I won't make up the winning numbers myself either, its more like they'll be provided to me. In a way...
Of course, if you are convinced I will set you up....nobody will force you to play.
Last but not least: which prizes can be won??
The winner of the first lottery will win 2 Glacial Prize Boxes, the winner of the second lottery will receive three of them. Recently I've thought about just selling the boxes and just give energy to the winners but right now I won't find the time to sell them first so the winners have 2 options: they can either sell the boxes for 2.5-3kE each or they can try their luck and open them. These Glacial Prize Boxes are pretty interesting actually and I believe they are worth 3KE. Take a look at what these boxes may contain:
35% chance for one of the following:
Glacial Flak Jacket
Glacial Fur Coat
Glacial Cloak
Glacial Brigandine
Glacial Plate Mail
Glacial Draped Armor
Glacial Cuirass
Glacial Scale Mail
Glacial Culet
Glacial Raiment
30% chance for one of the following:
Glacial Crescent Helm
Glacial Fur Cap
Glacial Hood
Glacial Pith Helm
Glacial Plate Helm
Glacial Round Helm
Glacial Sallet
Glacial Scale Helm
Glacial Tailed Helm
Glacial Winged Helm
20% chance for one of the following:
Glacial Side Blade
Glacial Wings
Glacial Bomb Bundle
Glacial Crest
Glacial Parrying Blade
Glacial Plume
Glacial Ribbon
Glacial Scarf
Glacial Dapper Combo
Glacial Power Scanner
Glacial Glasses
Glacial Round Shades
Glacial Com Unit
Glacial Mecha Wings
Glacial Vertical Vents
Glacial Bolted Vee
Glacial Headband
Glacial Maid Headband
Glacial Toupee
15% chance for one of the following:
Arctic Disciple Wings
Arctic Crown
Arctic Shackles
Arctic Pauldrons
Arctic Rogue Mail
Arctic Rogue Mask
There, I suppose I have covered everything. Keep an eye on this thread though in case there would be any changes. Good luck to all!!!!!!
