This raffle will go on until rollover February 5th! Ticket spreadsheet available [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OS4AOkEoM4x3TkirILXLwkXZYQOHaH4nyLgbiU8qST4/edit?usp=sharing]here[/url]! Ticket drawing will be on February 6th, using random.org and screenshots posted with winning ticket numbers. Prizes will be given in 3s--so the first 3 winners will choose their prizes, then the next 3, then the next. You can be drawn again to win more then one prize, but only two prizes maximum.[/size][/color] [size=5][b][u]Free Tickets:[/b][/u][/size] [list][*]YOU CAN GET [b]UP TO 5 FREE TICKETS PER DAY[/b] FROM BUMPING, BUT YOU MUST HAVE [b]AT LEAST ONE HOUR BETWEEN EACH OF [u]YOUR[/u] POSTS[/b]. Literally any message will count as a bump so long as there's an hour between the message and your last bump. I keep track of what time each of your bumps is on the spreadsheet in the notes attached to each bump. ^^ [*]Signature tickets!

bump!

@Disillusionist @Nerilka

@TheOtherKirby A shot at free art is always good! I'll BUMP for you. ^^ Also, you need to update your code for the banner; you forgot the URL tag... [code][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/2103918][img]http://i.imgur.com/VQh4fQu.png[/img][/url][/code] Will bump again later. Thank you for the ping! :D

@Disillusionist
Ah! Thanks, I got a bit too hasty when trying to plug the URL in after posting. ^^;

@TheOtherKirby

Great idea! But you may want to say free tickets for bumps only occur after at least one paid ticket is purchased, or you may not make anything from the raffle.

So saying, I'll send payment for 10 tickets please. :D

@TheOtherKirby Here's another BUMP for you. ^^

Also, I was thinking it would be possible to join for free. Do I need to buy some tickets first for the bumps to count? =) (I'll be going to work in a bit, but I'll check back later, thanks!)

@Nerilka
You have a point, and I did consider that. This raffle's a bit of a test run, and the scientist in me wants to see what happens when I don't have that stipulation as well as what happens when I do have it (probably in next month's raffle, assuming I turn this into a regular event coinciding with festivals). Will flat-out free tickets with no pre-purchase attract more people? What is the maximum initial price people will pay before there's a drop-off in participation? What's the optimal ticket price? What can I expect of participation for a raffle revolving around art as its main prizes and not big-ticket items that someone can see in their inventories?

For this one, I'll gather what information I can and use this at least as an opportunity to try and build up my name and show my art, maybe start a ping list for future raffles. Maybe next time I'll ask that a ticket be bought first before bumps apply. Thank you for the suggestion, though! =D

@Disillusionist
Joining for free is how this one raffle will run, so while you are absolutely welcome to buy tickets to increase your odds (well, to increase them when there's more than three people competing for nine prizes XD), you're not required to. =D The only requirement for the bumps to count is that it's been at least half an hour since there's been a bump on the thread by you or any other person. ^^ (Since I wasn't very clear about that in my post when you made your first bump, I went ahead and counted that one. This one's good to go!)

Bump!

@TheOtherKirby
I would love to join! ~
