Holiday Lottery - Try your luck!
Hi all,
With the upcoming holidays, it seemed like a good idea to organize last year's "Festive Cheer Prize Draw (1 and 2)" again.
I have edited this post to avoid confusion. I hope everything is clear now.
How to participate:
If you would like to join the raffle for one of these 5 7 19 31 34 prizes, I would like you to do the following:
state that you want to join the raffle
if you win a prize where you have an option to choose (e.g. prizes #3-5), you can make your choice when I notify you (via PM) that you've won
if your forum name is different than your in-game name: please provide your in-game name
Entry will be closed at the 30th of December!
--- ENTRY IS CLOSED --- WINNERS ARE LISTED AT THE END OF THIS POST ---
The draw:
If everything goes well, I'll draw the winners on the 2nd of January.
This draw will be done by a script I wrote a few years ago - and should be fairly random.
First I'll draw the winner for prize #1, then the winner for prize #2, and so on. Every player can only win at most 1 prize. Once the random draw is done, I will mention the winners in this topic, and notify them (and respective donator) via PM. If they reply, the prize will be gifted - after that you have 30 days (I think) to accept your prize. If the prize is a Premium ship that you already own (e.g. prizes #17-19), we will work something out. Know that we (players) can only gift a Premium ship that is available in the shop. (so no free XP Premium ships such as the Missouri, nor Premium ships removed from sale such as the Gremyashchy) The prizes: Note (to avoid confusion): As mentioned above, the winners will be drawn with respective order to how the prizes are listed. Prize #1 : any premium ship (available in shop, basic "bundle")
Prize #2 : any premium ship up to T6 (available in shop, basic "bundle")
Prize #3-5 : 30 days of Premium account or 2500 doubloons
(3 players will be drawn)
Prize #6 : donated by @Major_Damage225 (Premium ship up to T6 or 5500 doubloons or 60 days of Premium account)
Prize #7 : donated by @WolfGewehr (2500 doubloons)
Prize #8-15 : donated by @deadly_if_swallowed (8x 1000 doubloons)
(8 players will be drawn)
Prize #16 : donated by @Ebu34 (30 days of Premium account or 2500 doubloons)
Prize #17-19 : donated by @Azrael_Ashemdion (2x Tachibana, 1x Marblehead)
(3 players will be drawn - first two winners will get the Tachibana, third winner the Marblehead)
Prize #20 : donated by @philjd (Ishizuchi)

(Just my universal thoughts, not directed at you personally rvfharrier.)
Imho this is not a problem. Even if we had in the end more prizes than participants, we'd just spam the RNG.EXE until every prize is distributed. Overall, to join and donate one needs only the spirit. You can donate just 1 euro worth of stuff, the spirit of giving something back is the most important. I'd say, anyone can spare 2.25 € (500d, the minimum amount one can buy). It's more about the willpower of the people. Thus I'd kinda like to challenge people to participate:
Ever heard of Arnold's rules for success?
Especially those, who have achieved success in this game, now it's time to
Give something back!
The pricetag of the donation doesn't matter.
It can be one Yamamoto container, worth of 3 euros.
It can be 10x Loyangs.
The idea itself is the most important.
The spirit of Christmas.
The spirit of giving something back to the community.
Lets make this the greatest show of community spirit on these forums!
So far we have 19 prizes to distribute, donated by 6 individuals.
So, as I said, I want to challenge you:
If we get 10 prizes more to the current pot of 19 (i.e. 29 prizes to distribute),
I, WolfGewehr, will add an another donation. (Aka the prize number 30. What it would be, is to be determined).
19 and counting. Is it Yours next?
