1. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND THE RULES BEFORE SENDING. At least once every raffle I get someone who has not read the rules or the HOW TO ENTER section, which wastes my time and yours. Things are spelled out as they are for a reason, please make sure you've actually read the rules before you send anything in. Yes, this is a long rules list; it is long for a reason. Some rules are repeated in HOW TO ENTER for a reason.
Please read and follow the rules; please re-read if you need to.
1a. Please make sure you read and understand the HOW TO ENTER section with regards to what items are being accepted, and their ticket values, before sending in.
It is not necessary to do math when you send your items, but you should have an idea of how many tickets you're getting for what you send in, so there's no rude surprises.
2. The receivers for this raffle are
@
JonTargaryen
@
DeadlyInformant
You may send to either of us.
3.
DO NOT SEND ITEMS BY CROSSROADS, THEY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Crossroads has a tendency to hiccup and say an item is missing, which means having to cancel the CR and ask you to resend the items, and that costs both of us time. Yes, PM has fewer attachments, but it doesn't bork the items up the way CR does. Yes, you may send multiple PMs as you have items; please do not worry about spamming my inbox.
Dragons need to be sent in by private auction (see below).
4. THE DRAGONS YOU SEND FOR THIS RAFFLE
WILL BE EXALTED UNLESS THEY ARE LEVEL 25. THESE DRAGONS WILL BE SENT TO WATER'S PUBLIC BUY AND EXALTED TO THE TIDELORD. IF YOU ARE NOT OKAY WITH THIS, DO NOT SEND DRAGONS.
4a.
IF YOU SEND DRAGONS, YOU WILL ONLY BE RECEIVING TICKETS FOR THEM - NOT MONEY. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS AND PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR YOUR DRAGONS. THE DRAGONS ARE A DONATION JUST LIKE FOOD IS A DONATION.
4b. SEND DRAGONS VIA PRIVATE AUCTION FOR 1t RATHER THAN BY CROSSROADS, AND
PLEASE PING IF YOU ARE SENDING LARGE NUMBERS OF DRAGONS (MORE THAN 10).
If you are unsure how to set up a private auction, you go to the Auction House, select the Private Auctions option, select Sell, select your dragons, and list 1 as the sale price next to the gold coin, and then my username
JonTargaryen in the "player name" box like so:
WHEN SETTING UP A PRIVATE AUCTION AND/OR PINGING, PLEASE MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU SPELL MY USERNAME CORRECTLY, COPYPASTE IF YOU HAVE TO- my username is frequently misspelled which causes me to miss pings, and I don't want to lose PAs because of it. Thank you.
4c. IF YOU ARE SENDING A LEVEL 25 DRAGON, PLEASE PING @/DeadlyInformant AND SEND TO THEM, BECAUSE DEADLY IS THE ONE WITH THE SPACE FOR BOARDING LEVEL 25 DRAGONS.
TO RECEIVE THE BONUS FOR A LEVEL 25 WITH ELIMINATE, YOU MUST PROVIDE A SCREENSHOT OF THE DRAGON'S STONES.
4d. ONCE AGAIN,
DRAGONS WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTED UNTIL 12 FR TIME ON THE FINAL DAY OF THE RAFFLE (APRIL 21ST), WHILE OTHER ITEMS WILL BE ACCEPTED UNTIL 20 FR TIME. THIS IS BECAUSE OF ISSUES OF TIMING AND STRESS. PLEASE DO NOT ARGUE WITH US ABOUT THE CUTOFF TIME FOR SENDING DRAGONS.
4d. NON-LEVEL 25 DRAGONS SENT TO THE RAFFLE WILL BE SENT TO WATER AND EXALTED EXACTLY AT THE LEVEL THEY ARE AT. This avoids potential drama such as sending a level 1 dragon that I level or have leveled to 7, and the sender saying "I sent you a level 7". While I will accept all dragons including hatchlings, please understand the hatchlings will be exalted and level 4+ (especially level 5-8) is ideal to benefit our dominance bank.
5.
Please make sure to have all items (not dragons) sent in by 20 FR server time on Saturday the 21st. No donations for this raffle will be accepted after that time. To ensure your items are received before 20 FR server time on the 21st, you should try to not send your final PMs any later than 19:50, especially if you are sending a large volume of items.
5a. While donations will be closed at 20 FR time on April 21st, I may possibly still be processing tickets on the spreadsheet past 20 FR time because of volume + my speed with logging the spreadsheet, this does NOT mean it is OK to send donations past 20 FR time to change your status, regardless of your personal relationship to me - NO EXCEPTIONS MEANS NO EXCEPTIONS.
5b. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I WILL NOT ACCEPT DONATIONS THAT ARE ONE MINUTE PAST DEADLINE, NO EXCEPTIONS, SO KEEP AN EYE ON THE TIME WHEN YOU SEND.
6. Because I get asked about this:
Yes, you may sponsor a ticketholder by sending in items for tickets on their behalf. So if you have a friend who really wants the Fire Sprite and is a ticketholder, you can send donations and ask me to enter them in that person's name.
PLEASE NOTE: because of open registration and potential problems with multiaccounting, I will not accept sponsors with an account less than a month old; I will be checking your user profile for account age.
6a. DO NOT ASK ME TO SPONSOR TICKETS FOR YOU, MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP TO ME. I SPEND ENOUGH ON THESE RAFFLES. :P :P :P
7.
All items and money becomes the property of Lightning's dominance bank once received; please do not ask for your items and/or money back if you don't win. Tickets are non-refundable.
8. Please be kind and courteous to myself and DeadlyInformant, especially with regards to the amount of time it may take to accept the dragons you send. We sometimes go away from keyboard to handle life offline. We will process your dragons as quickly as we can, but it may take time to do so - please be patient.
8a.
PLEASE DO NOT BE SALTY IF YOU ARE GUNNING FOR TOP PRIZE AND YOU DON'T WIN. I PAID FOR MOST OF THESE PRIZES (INCLUDING ALL THE SPRITES) OUT OF MY OWN POCKET AND I DO THIS OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF MY OWN HEART; PLEASE BE KIND AND RESPECTFUL TO ME IN RETURN.
Throwing shade at me if you don't win may result in you being banned from future raffles I run, so please do not.
