Raffles & Giveaways

[center][size=7][b][color=d2941b]RAFFLE OVER[/color][/b][/size][/center] [center][img]http://oi63.tinypic.com/b84arq.jpg[/img] [size=2]Graphics by @TidalDawn[/size] This raffle contains...!! [item=light sprite] and [item=sunchaser jewelry]![/center] Scribes have long sought more information and stories about the Shade and the ancient world, longing to prove or disprove the myths that have spread into modern children's stories and history. Exploring ancient sites, hunting down scraps of paper barely legible, seeking out the oldest and wisest of beings... Now one such ancient site has been discovered buried off the cliffs of the Sundial Terrace. Dragons have been called in from all over to help excavate the site and flocks of scholars have arrived to catalog and oversee every aspect. Perhaps buried within the site lies untold secrets of the Shade and the events that occurred in the ancient past...? [center][img]http://oi63.tinypic.com/xc6jjn.jpg[/img] [b]June 26th - July 9th[/b][/center] July 10th all participants in the raffle will be pinged. July 10th to July 13th you'll need to let us know if we missed anything and we will ensure that you get your tickets. Anything after July 13th will be too late! On July 13th we will draw all winners via Random.org and a browser-sharing program to keep everything public. Winners will send in their prize preferences in lots of 10, this way everyone will know their placement in the winner list but not have to send in prize choices of 30+ packs.

[center][url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qC5fTKhOIXyHnFj_gGlzDskjeL8HMwNcgLAMlKIHULI/viewform][img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/2vvqjqb.jpg[/img][/url] [url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1qC5fTKhOIXyHnFj_gGlzDskjeL8HMwNcgLAMlKIHULI/viewform][b][size=4]Pinglist Form[/size][/b][/url][/center] You can sign up for my pinglists here! I have one that I will ping at the start of each of my holiday raffles and one that will be pinged when the second week has started, which will include the beginning of the second week’s costume party. If at any time you want to remove yourself from the pinglist, ping or PM me and I will do so! [center][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/11ilhxd.jpg[/img] [color=d2941b][b][size=4]Host[/size][/b][/color] [user=121440] The host of this scribbled madness! I am the go-to for any questions, problems, or concerns you have. Just like acceptors I will accept any and all items sent into the raffle! [color=d2941b][b][size=4]Acceptors[/size][/b][/color] [user=111087][/center] These are the dragon clans who are assisting in the findings! They accept any and all items that you send in and will record them just like the host can. [center][img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/29bd9n9.jpg[/img][/center]

[center][img]http://oi63.tinypic.com/opbr4j.jpg[/img] 1. Winners will be drawn publicly via a browser-sharing program. Any person can only win once. 2. Be respectful, both of the acceptors and other users. Remember acceptors have lives! They may not be able to get to your items at all points in time. Note that acceptors can only accept dragons when they're online... there's only two of us so there will probably be times where neither of us are on and you will have to wait. 3. If you find that an acceptor hasn't been online for more than 24 hours and your tickets haven't been entered, please screenshot your PM and send it to another acceptor and we will enter your tickets in their place. 4. Rules may be added on an encounter basis. If something occurs we will announce a new rule or alterations and they will be bolded in red for everyone to see the changes. 5. Math. This isn't really a rule but something that I'd love to see, and it would earn you from 10-100 extra tickets for doing! The amount you get will depends on how 'hard' the math calculating was. If you'd like to do the math, do it in this way: Item Name | Number Sent | Tickets Per = Tickets for items So for example: Sacridite 7 x 20 = 140 Shadow Sprite 1400 Total: 1540 [center][img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/29bd9n9.jpg[/img][/center]

Treasure, gems, familiars, festival items, baldwin things, swipp, etc! To send items [b]only send via PM[/b], title it "Scholar's Pursuit" or something so I know what the items are for. Any math you want to do include in the message as well. [center][b]Why not CR 2.0?[/b][/center] CR 2.0 is known for constantly messing up trades and you can never fix the trade. So to keep from a headache on both our parts it's just easier to send via PM. The PM takes things out of your hoard automatically and doesn't require you to resend a CR or try to track down which item you might have gotten rid of on accident. I'm terribly sorry to request this however I know the amount of times I'm going to have to request a trade be re-sent because of missing items is going to be pretty high if we use CR2.0 and I'd rather not have everyone re-attach items repeatedly every time it messes up. ----------- There are simply too many things to list on this thread unless you want to overwhelm your browser with loading everything, so instead we've outsourced it to our spreadsheet! If you have something that is not listed on the spreadsheet, feel free to ping or PM me and I will give you a ticket value for it as well as put it on the spreadsheet! [center] [size=5][b][color=d2941b]Bump Tickets[/color][/b][/size] You can receive 5 tickets for bumping the thread! If you do, ping @DeadlyInformant. It's as simple as typing 'bump' and posting! There are a few rules, however.[/center] 1. It's been 10 minutes since the last bump 2. You can only receive tickets for bumping once a day 3. You have to have one of our banners or buttons in your signature [center] [size=5][b][color=d2941b]Referral Tickets[/color][/b][/size] You can receive tickets for 'referring' someone to the raffle! Spread the word to your friends and when they buy or send in items for tickets, if they mention that you referred them you will get 100 tickets. A user can only refer someone [b]once[/b]. If you were referred by Lightweaver you cannot also say that you were referred by Stormcatcher. However, Lightweaver can refer as many people as they want, and YOU can refer people all you want as well! [size=5][b][color=d2941b]Treasure Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Treasure value = ticket value 500 = 10 | 5,000 = 100 10,000 = 200 | 50,000 = 1,000 75,000 = 1,500 | 100,000 = 2,000 250,000 = 5,000 | 500,000 = 10,000 750,000 = 15,000 | 1,000,000 = 20,000 [size=5][b][color=d2941b]Gem Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Gem value = ticket value 1 = 16 | 10 = 160 20 = 320 | 100 = 1,600 150 = 2,400 | 200 = 3,200 500 = 8,000 | 1,000 = 16,000 1,500 = 24,000 | 2,000 = 32,000 [size=5][b][color=d2941b]Material/Trinket Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Anything that is not used for Swipp or Baldwin will be counted as 1/10th of the hoard sale value. [b]Examples:[/b] 23 treasure each = 2.3 tickets 55 treasure each = 5.5 tickets [size=5][b][color=d2941b]Dragon Tickets[/color][/b][/size] Most dragons will be exalted immediately upon CR! However, level 25s (stoned or unstoned) will be sold as trainer dragons. If you are NOT okay with this, let us know in the CR. Send dragons via Two-Way Delivery so that I can give you the treasure for them. If you are wanting to get x2, x3, or x4 tickets (based upon dragon's level) then send as a [b]one-way delivery[/b]. Extra tickets can be gained from sending as a one-way delivery! These will be based on the dragon's level. Levels 1-7 = x2 Levels 8-17 = x3 Levels 18-25 = x4 [img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/9ustnd.jpg[/img] [img]http://oi67.tinypic.com/aylgjm.jpg[/img] [b]Stoned 25s leave a screenshot in their bio to provide proof of stones.[/b] [center][img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/29bd9n9.jpg[/img][/center]

[center][img]http://oi68.tinypic.com/rj4egl.jpg[/img] Each raffle will have hidden unlockable prizes based on various things that occur throughout the raffle.

Scholars and adventurers clashing in their different ways and desires, each having their belief on how things should be run and how artifacts should be unearthed. They must work with each other if they wish to accomplish their goals, however! Both weeks will have separate costume parties! That means each week will have a different 'theme' that you can dress your dragon up for and participate in. [center][size=6][b][color=d2941b]How to Play[/color][/b][/size][/center] 1. Dress your dragon to fit the theme! 2. Post the BBCode of your dragon in the thread and show them off 3. Ping @DeadlyInformant when you post to alert them 4. Feel free to RP introduce your dragons and even RP with other players! Participate in the circus and all the going-ons! [center][size=6][b][color=d2941b]Prizes[/color][/b][/size][/center] Each week you may enter [b]two [/b]dragons for the current theme, no more. Each dragon will get you 10 tickets for participating. Funny or enjoyable RP posts can get you 1-2 tickets, acceptors can go through the thread and read your antics and add tickets as they like. Each week there will be TWO winners for best costume. The winners will be chosen based on acceptor favorites and they will receive a random prize to be determined at the end of the theme week.

[center][size=7][b][color=d2941b]Raffle Open![/color][/b][/size] A few things for this raffle! 1. [b]This time I'll only accept items via PM.[/b] Dragons can still be sent via CR, however. CR 2.0 is known for messing up trades and you can never fix the trade once it does. So to keep from a headache on both our parts it's just easier to send via PM. The PM takes things out of your hoard automatically and doesn't require you to resend a CR or try to track down which item you might have gotten rid of on accident. I'm terribly sorry to request this however I know the amount of times I'm going to have to request a trade be re-sent because of missing items is going to be pretty high if we use CR2.0 and I'd rather not have everyone re-attach items repeatedly every time it messes up. 2. My sleep schedule is a little off right now and I'm working on fixing that. For once I might not be awake for hours after rollover at the start of the festival, so not all of the festival items will be input until later when I wake up if that happens. This includes the possible vista and how it will be implemented! Until I get up later I won't know how they're doing it. If it's part of Festive Favors I'll add it into the pack for that, if it's something else it'll probably be in a pack all on its own. I'll also need to determine the ticket value for it, although it'll probably be close to the value for the other Brightshine 2016 items. ---------------------- [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=23772880] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/237729/23772880_350.png[/img] [/url] Ghiaccia stomps her feet on the dusty and cracked ground, craning her neck upwards to look at the cloud-covered sky. The sun filters through cracks in the clouds, heats spots along the ground to an almost unbearable degree while large swaths of dark earth stays cool and relaxing. Two weeks. Two weeks is all she has to withstand the heat, the sand collecting in her armor and scales, the unbearable itch that comes from watching workers fumble with picks and brushes. She soothes herself by running her claws through her feathers, flattening them back against her neck the way she likes. Why had she agreed to oversee this excavation? Why did she have to listen to the complaints of the scholars, so very tired of the way that this digger or that digger didn't take proper care, or that there wasn't a soft enough brush to whisk away the sand clinging to this incredibly delicate tablet. The diggers were as bad as the academics, of course. Scowling and grumbling about the high and mighty scribes, the way they held themselves and the inability of many of them to withstand the intense weather and temperatures. If things continue this way Ghiaccia worries whether the dig will actually be as successful as ever dragon hopes it will be. They're going to have to find a way to work together without being at each other's wings all the time. It's a good thing she's here to set things straight.
