Yes yes, of course, it got your attention, or you totally ignored the entire thread.. Well if you dared to peek inside, then you will have a chance to participate in what i hope the be an ongoing Tradition in the name of Astral Ring.

I will cut to the chase..

Its a Raffle, just like my last one but different.. here is how it goes..


You pay 5000 gil and then you Tell me what number you would like to choose.. 0-999 are the numbers accepted. simple enough right?


Then you recieve a Pearl, which you may choose to keep after the raffle is over if you just want to hang out with the HipnotikNationor if you want to participate in future Raffles..

On the 7th of Feb. we will all Gather in a Decided location, and i will Roll /random. The person whos number is closest to what i roll, wins the Astral Ring, and much singing and rejoicing will prevail, with Fireworks, Dancing, Music the whole ShaBang!

I am going to compile a list of people who are participating, and the numbers they have chosen to be fair.. and the winner will be posted as well.. If you are not present at the time of the Drawing, you will still win the Prize..

I think this pretty much covers it all.. If you want to purchase a ticket, then /tell me ingame, or.. post your number here, and send me 5k in my delivery box..

here are the players so far..

That's the point ;) But anyway, it's something different than our farm-buy-level-farm routine, and 5k for this isn't that much :)

I just wanted to thank everybody who has participated in this event.. I really didnt think that this many people would participate..

Now i would like to know.. where would everybody like to have the drawing done at?

Like i dont know if the middle of Jueno would be good.. actually, i have a great idea.. I think that maybe up in Ru'lude Gardens.. Back where Maat is at or someithing.. that would be a good idea...


Well and ideas would be accepted, and i want people to bring fireworks if they can, and see if we can get some crafting stuff goin on, and maybe like some bards can have a concert..

Well, like i said, thanks for participation, from the money that i profit from this, i think that i am gonna pass out some other random prizes and pass out fireworks to people to pop off and stuff..


Thanks again Bismark, for helping a little Tarutaru's dreams come true..

Yo Hiptaruu, I think you should hold the raffle drawing someplace besides Jeuno because it's really crowded and it might get annoying. I think it should be held in Dangruf Wadi which is really quiet and would be easier. Maybe a city would be good but I think it should be held somewhere nice but kinda low pace. =]

I have a question, and you might want to put this in your original post also. You said closest number wins, but is this like the price is right where you can't go over the roll? or just closest number?

yeah, thats a good question.. alot of people have asked the same thing.. and all i really gotta say is.. Its a Raffle..

But to give you a answer that you want to hear...

player A picks 349
player B picks 351

Hiptaru /random 350

Then there is a tie breaker for player A and player B, of course unless somebody else has chosen 350..

hope that answers the question... ok thanks..

Based on the entries currently listed, Hip has already made 560k.

Dammit why don't I get ideas like this?! Winner gets ring for 5k...Hiptaru gets more money than he would if he sold on AH. Win-win situation. You're too smart for this game, Hip.

Whoppedy doo! how nice I grabbed those tickets while I was on my way to an exp pt lol. This is Jnag btw but allakhazam doesn't like me using my player name @@. contact me in game and lemme know about retrieving the prize etc. I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to look at this thread before the drawing. I look forward to your future events.

It was an excellent show.

Built anticipation before the roll, fireworks after, and a good time was had by all.

Well done, Hipster. You did it, man.

/bow

Thank you very very much... I spent about 120k of the gil i made on Fireworks for everybody to shoot off, and boy howdy was it purty.. It was alot of fun.. although stressful at times..

Every 30 seconds i would get a /tell asking how does the Raffle work, and how do i know your not just gonna let one of your mules win... crap like that.. in the end.. all i would do is respond with ffxi.allakhazam.com Bismarck Forums..


But, all in all, it was a really Great time, and i think i might wait a while until i do this again.. Once again, thank you everybody, each and every single one of you that participated and supported me thru the whole thing, even when i just wanted to give all the gil back and quit because of the stress..


If you see anybody out there trying to copy the whole Raffle thing, just Laugh at them, and tell them to come up with thier own ideas.. Because it will Ruin it in the Future when i Decide to do something like this again...


Thanks everybody, and i guess be looking forward to this in about a month..


{Peace}
