LOTTERY! Win 500k! 250k! 100k!

Everything has been canceled, /tell me to retrieve your poe. This task was just too hard for even myself who was advertising it constantly. o_O Sorry =/

Organizing a LOTTERY!!! 1rst winner: 500k 2nd winner 250k 3rd winner: 100k!!! 5001 poe for each # with maximum of 200 #'s only. This IS a legit lottery.. You get out of this a 3/200 chance of winning one of those prizes per # you buy! /pay Kalinox or Cadegirl (5001 poe) to enter! /tell Kalinox or Cadegirl for more information!

Frequently asked questions:

How are the #'s going to be picked?
I'm probably going to make a video of myself generating #'s at this website http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm .. Of course once the #'s out of 200 are all bought I'll post a date and time. On that date/time I'll be recording a video of myself showing at the bottom right of my screen the date/time as well as on Puzzlepirates when I'll be typing /info. Once that's done all I'll need to do is keep recording the video onto my laptop's screen while I'm generating the 3 lucky #'s on that website.

Can I buy more than one #?
Yes.

Deadline?

The deadline is when we'll be done selling all 200 #'s. And I'm online everyday. So this will certainly be done within 2-3 weeks (Maximum.) Also.. To those who participate. It helps if you find other participants if you're impatient about it.

((Worse case scenario)) is if I see it's too hard/long to get over 100 people I'll divide the odds by 2. So... 3/100 Of a chance instead of 3/200)

70/200 #'s sold.

Re: LOTTERY! Win 500k! 250k! 100!

so you are making 150.2k for just posting a list, taking ppl's poe, and then having an OM give 3 random numbers. Damn that is an easy job, maybe I should do one.

Basicly yeh. You make uh.. 750 poe per each person you convince. Also, if the OM's don't want to give #'s out. I'll make sure I'll be able to prove the fact this is legit.

Yeh, but I have a couple of 100k's in there. And if it ever came to a point where I'd be at 0. I wouldn't be using the Flag funds. Doubt it would ever get to that point though. I never use someone else's poe. If that's your question.

Re: LOTTERY! Win 500k! 250k! 100!

Fundraising PoE for your own pocket is a huge turn-off that will make it much more difficult to sell tickets than it would have been if it were a crew/flag fundraiser.

Also, mixing flag/crew PoE with personal PoE is a very easy way for flag funds to be misplaced. How can you possibly keep track of what is yours and what is the flags? Mixing personal funds and flag funds is never a good idea.

Re: LOTTERY! Win 500k! 250k! 100!

I keep track by taking notes? o_O

Let me show you an example:

Flag's total funds. 1 000 000poe

(Crew Compass):Kalinox: 750 000
(Crew Compass): Yadiyadiya: 150 000
(Crew Velocity): Yoda: 100 000

---------------------------
Poe on Kalinox: 50k
Dubs on Kalinox: 40

---------------------------

Oh noes! Kalinox needs 100k!

--------------------------------

Flag's total funds. 900 000poe

(Crew Compass):Kalinox:650 000
(Crew Compass): Yadiyadiya: 150 000
(Crew Velocity): Yoda: 100 000

-------------------------------

Poe on Kalinox: 150k
Dubs on Kalinox: 40

--------------------------------------------

Tada? >_> Do I really need to defend myself on how our own Flag's system works?

Re: LOTTERY! Win 500k! 250k! 100!

So if you use 300k for flag stuff (say... buying some ships)...and then another person who has donated asks for their poe back, do you give it to them?

Re: LOTTERY! Win 500k! 250k! 100!

In my attempt to assure everyone I have integrity and would never use flag funds for personal items, I have inadvertently and unintentionally stated it so it could be misconstrued. I have given more detail than I should, so this will be my last attempt to clear this up. I havent purchased anything for my-self since starting this flag with anything but my own poe, with the exception of ships for our war fleet. We are building a fleet and more of our flag money will be spent on it. If I bought clothes, swords or the usual pirate things, I used poe I got from the usual pirate activities such as poker and pillage etc. Our flag funds are just that. Flag funds. I do keep track of where they come from and where they go. Will i do this forever? I don't know. I will talk to our royals before changing that procedure. But I do have integrity, and I havent and will never steal from my flag for personal gain. I think this is enough on this topic. If you would like to enter our lottery that would be great. If you wish not to, that's fine as well.

Thank you for your comprehension.

Is it just me or does this not include a draw date? Technically you could say "LOLOLOLOL I'm keeping the 1,000,200 poe from sales for 8 years and will draw on March, 25th, 2120."
I'm pretty sure that's an important part of an event, it the deadline.

i think its legit... theres no reason to give a date its pretty obvious when it ends (when all tickets are sold)

lol he sold atleast over 20 tickets, so basicly summing this up.... those people thought it was legitimate enough to buy tickets <3

and know they will have to wait until the drawing.. so Patience <3

The fact that you made that comment means you did not read the entire thread. However, given the benefit of the doubt that you did you should avoid being so condescending and dense.

"Together" is still a relatively new flag and as such they are going to have some kinks in the processes in which they do things. It is clear this *was* one of their kinks. However, as Kalinox's final post suggests they have figured that out and have and/or are developing a new system which will more responsibly handle the funds.

Give the kid a break.

Newer flags need to raise poe if they want to blockade, that is a given, this is a reasonable method on how to do so.

Kalinox find me in game, I will buy a couple more.

Hey guys, please give me some poe, I want to blockade too! If you give me 1k, I will make a lottery in which 80% of the total pot is winnable, and I'm keeping 20% so I can ~~blockade~~ add it to the flag coffers. Good deal right?

I have also taken the time to actually talk to him in game rather than just tarting in an event thread; therefore, it is safe to say that I might have gathered further information on the entire situation.

While you might better understand the situation, an event should be clearly worded and explained so that participants are aware of what it is that they are actually taking part in. An event with this degree of confusion is unrelated to the fact that it is being run by a relatively new flag that may or may not be looking to raise funds for blockades. In my opinion, botched flag events and event threads simply portray the flag in a poor light. I'm not saying that this flag is necessarily a bad flag or anything, but as a first impression, this isn't quite the best.
