[center][b]Welcome at the Shadowbinder's Pool Pull! [/b][/center]
[i]"Do you see this puddle here? Shadowbinder herself filled it with both shades and also various items. Some say these are nothing but junk, but don't believe these rumors. In fact, these are the treasures our Shadow Mother hid there, so no one could steal them from her."[/i]
[i]"And now, imagine how lucky you are. You can actually take your chance now and win something from all these valuables that are lying on the bottom of this pool. Do you see this bunch of strings? Yes? Well, I tied each of them to an item that is hidden down there and if you want, I can hand some of them to you. And whatever you pull out of the pool is yours.
No questions. So do you want to give it a try?"[/i]
[i]"Oh, oh oh... wait. It's not that easy. You think I'm doing this for free? Taking the risk of stealing from Shadowbinder? The risk is a game. And for a game you need tokens. Do you have any? What about some cards or dices? No? I've got it: Chess Pieces - you've got them right? Well, looks like we have a deal then!"[/i]

This game is pretty easy - you pay an entry fee and according to the price you payed you can pull 1-3 string. Ath the other end of the string can be litteraly anything. There are 40 different item types hidden inside the Shadowbinder's Pool in total.
[center][b]Every string is tied to one item.[/b]
so
[b]Everyone wins![/b][/center]
And after you post here that you are pulling the strings and sending the entry fee (Chess Pieces) to me via PM, I will generate a random number from the span 1-40 for each of the string you are pulling. The generated numbers select the items you will win.
I will send you the prizes immediately after posting a reply to your post here.
Although the chances to win one item seems to be equal to all the other items, don't forget that Shadow dragons are tricksters. There are some more valuable items hidden in the pool. And to win one of these you have to be a little bit more lucky than just generating one random number. For more information see the section: Rules.

[b]How will it work:[/b]
The mechanics could be as simple as the game itself, but to keep the rare prizes really rare, it is a little bit complicated.
The basic rules: [LIST]
[*]Everone can take one pull a day during the Trickmurk Cirkus festival.
[*]According to the price the player payed that day, the player can pull 1 to 3 strings at once.
[*]There are 40 item types that are hidden in the puddle. These would be further called "Slots".
[*]Every slot has its number.
[*]When a string is beeing pulled, a random number is generated. The span for the number matches the numbers of the slots: 1-40.
[*]The item from the slot with the chosen number is the prize.
[/LIST]
And here comes the BUTs:
[LIST]
[*]Pulling more strings at once means not only that the player gets more items, but also that these itmes would be different ones. (Because pulling at once means the player actually pulls more different strings and each string is supposed to lead to its own prize).
[*]So when another number during one pull is generated an it maches a number that already granted a prize, it is immediately re-rolled with a different random number.
[*]The more valuable prizes are protected with a system of "knots" to make them not se easy to obtain.
[*]Knots ties the strings together. So when pulling out a knot, it means to pull out two additional string tied to the original one.
[*]The low protection: "Fair chance". When a string with such protected slot is being pulled, two more random numbers are generated. If both of these numbers are either even or uneven, the player wins this prize. If the nubers are one even and one uneven, they pull a "knot" instead.
[*]If the knot is being pulled out, the two additionally generated numbers (even and uneven) appoints the two new winning slots.
[*]The high protection: "Double strike". When a string with such protected slot is being pulled, two more random numbers are generated. If at least one of these numbers is the same as the number of this protected slot, the player wins this prize. Otherwise the player pulls out a "knot".
[*]If the knot is being pulled out, the two additionally generated numbers (both different from the originally rolled one and different from each other) appoints the two new winning slots.
[*]If one of the two new slots is protected, the protection has to be breaken first, but the protection level is lowered.
[*]That means that "Fair chance" protection grants the prize automatically, and "Double strike " is reduced to "Fair chance" protection.
[*]That should be it. Hope it is clear. However, these mechanicsare quite difficult to explain, but easy enough to apply them.
[*] I will gladly answer your question, however, my mail is flooded with chess pieces, so it can take a while to answer. Thank you.
[*] If I will run out of some items (of any value), their slot number automaticaly gives you a "knot" with two additional strings to pull.

Dear Friends of all Flights,
We, the Trickmurk Circus Planning Committee, have stumbled across an error in our logistics which we wish to rectify at this time. There was a miscommunication between our planners and this has caused an imbalance in the ticket prizes being awarded across the various Circus games for the Ultimate Raffle. It has unbalanced the prizes for the games against the dragons sent for dominance, tickets purchased with treasure and between individual games. In order to correct this, we are going to retroactively increase the ticket payout of several games, the dominance dragons and purchased tickets to bring all the games in line with our originally intended payouts. Please accept our sincere apology for the confusion and it is our sincere hope that you will enjoy the rest of the circus. Thank you for your understanding. We have all tried very, very hard to make Trickmurk a fantastic festival with plenty of fun for everyone. Again, we apologize for making a mistake in our planning. Please don’t hold it against us! We’re doing everything we can to fix it. Thank you all so very much for participating in our holiday event and we hope you’ve all had as much fun as we have![/quote]

This means that the value of the Trickmurk Circus Ultimate Raffle tickets granted from this game will change to match the value of tickets from the other games.
Every old ticket from the Shadowbinder's Pool Pull game now equals 50 of the new tickets.
From the prize list:
[b]Tattered Parchment[/b] [s] 5 tickets[/s] / = [b]250 tickets[/b]
[b]Intact Parchment[/b] [s] 10 tickets[/s] / =[b] 500 tickets[/b]
[b]Scroll Case[/b] [s] 15 tickets[/s] / = [b]750 tickets[/b]
