Raffles & Giveaways

[u][b][center]LIGHTNING STRIKE 2.0[/center][/b][/u] Welcome, friends, to Lightning Strike 2.0 -- the latest iteration of Lightning's Dominance Raffle. In keeping with our the first Lightning Strike, we're offering a wide array of prizes, multiple ways to enter, daily and flash raffles, a daily drawing for Cape apparel, and payouts better than average! --- [center][b]The Basics[/b][/center] [i]Before we get into the rules, keep these in mind.[/i] [list] [*]This event will begin at 00:01 on Dec. 1st and will run until 23:45 on Dec. 7th. [*][b]This is for non-Lightning members [i]only[/i][/b]. Lightning members go enter JessDwarf's in-flight raffle, please. [*]Any dragons sent in are, obviously, going to be exalted. [*]If you have any questions, feel free to ping or PM me![/list] --- [center][b]How to Enter[/b][/center] The main raffle has three ways to enter: you may buy tickets with treasure, you may advertise for us, by placing our banner in your signature, and you can send our volunteers dragons to be exalted -- of course. [b]Treasure[/b]: Tickets are 1000 treasure each, and a free one for each 5 bought. (e.g. 10000 treasure gets you 12 tickets). Send all money for tickets to mlsclassics (me) with the message titled "Lightning Strike Tickets". Alternatively, tickets can be bought with a flat 3 gems. [b]Advertising[/b]: The talented Antagonist has scaled down this banner to use as a signature. If you use it in place of your forum signature, [i]and keep it there all week[/i], you'll be given 5 tickets. All you have to do is place the code below into the signature field under "account settings". A note: I'll be checking periodically all week, and if you take it down before the end of the week, you'll get one ticket instead. [code][center][url=http://tinyurl.com/ligtstrik2][img]http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6393/4a4e.png[/img][/url][/center][/code] [b]Dragons[/b]: [b]Simply[/b] send a crossroads trade to an online volunteer for the value of the dragon (see chart below), and you're entered! By far the most important category, we will be accepting any dragons, and while we once again are paying above the average exalt price, we're adding a couple of new twists. This time, you can choose to send us a crossroads for less than the dragon should be worth to "rollover" that money into tickets (example below). We're offering a bonus ticket to anyone who names their hatchlings in advance (to save our volunteers time, and to avoid the risk of possibly exalting an Unnamed dragon). NOTE: This applies only to hatchlings. Level 1 adults would be sent to other volunteers to level in the coliseum, and would be named no matter what. We will take daily exalt bonuses into account when figuring tickets, so if you forget and send us the 2500 bonus for the day, you'll receive 3 extra tickets. [b]Crossroads sent for 1 treasure will be rejected, however, unless you ping us in this thread to let us know you want to get more tickets with the payout funds.[/b] [center]Dragon Payout Chart [b]NOTE: HATCHLINGS START AT 10 TICKETS[/b] [img]http://oi44.tinypic.com/5mlr7o.jpg[/img][/center] ROLLOVER: So, as IrisAya pointed out to me, I /forgot/ examples of ticket rollover. So, take for example you have a hatchling that you send to us. Normally it would net you 2519. Well, you can choose to send for 1000t less and get 1 ticket for it. Alternatively, if you forget that a dragon gets a bonus, we'll apply that bonus to extra tickets at a 1000t:1ticket ratio. In every case, we'll round to the nearest 1000 (so, 2499 gets you 2 tickets, 2500 gets you 3). By the same token, if you want to send us a dragon for 1t, we'll convert all the money you would have gotten into extra tickets. --- [center][b][u]Volunteers[/u][/b][/center] [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApqH_Jee5_bWdElBODBZX1QyZ0dUNnJhTGlZQ0c4cEE&usp=sharing]Click here to view the online status of our volunteers[/url]. Alternatively, check their signatures (or posts on this page) for info about their availability. And if no one's online, feel free to queue up crossroads to me, and I'll take care of them the next time I'm online. --- [center][b]Ticket Holders[/b][/center] [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApqH_Jee5_bWdHlpcTF3OGhtb1E4b3JuN2VWS1BkT2c&usp=sharing]Click here to view the ticketholder spreadsheet[/url]. --- [center][b]Winning[/b][/center] Winners for the main raffle will be chosen around 10:00 FR Time, Dec. 8th. Each entrant can win one prize, unless by some chance, we get fewer entrants than prizes, in which case we will begin drawing for multiples. I will contact the winners in groups of 15 and ask their preference among the remaining prizes. They will have 24 hours to respond, and anyone who does not will have their name moved to the end of the winnner's queue. All flash/daily prizes will have their own rules. --- [center][b][u]Daily Capes![/u][/b][/center] Each day, every user to send in a dragon will get one entry to a drawing for a cape, which will vary by the day. This does not depend on the number of dragons you send in, [i]each user gets one ticket if they send in a dragon[/i]. (The entries reset each day, so send in at least one daily to have a chance at them all!) --- A final note: keep an eye out for more prizes to be added -- we love keeping folks on their toes!

Grand/daily prizes sent (removed to pare down loading times).

One day of gathering turns from the following users -- these users will gather in the location of your choosing and send you all the spoils!:
Calvinrules6 (1 prize)

This area is reserved for special events. The most common of these is the flash raffle. I will post, randomly, a small bonus for users who meet a certain condition. For example: "The next 5 dragons above level 5 who are donated will get a bonus: in addition to the usual payout, I will send 5 leafy packs to the user who sent them in." If you like, you can be added to a ping list for this.

Current ping list:
@Amberite
@Ikunoche

There is currently no flash raffle going on.

SCAVENGER HUNT!

Closed -- first scavenger hunt won by PaperD -- a new one coming soon!

I'm sending over a dragon for 1t now instead of more. Might have more dragons in a few days.
@IrisAya

Also, I love the graphics! I adore pixel art.

Edit: make it two now.
