[columns] "Hear ye, hear ye!" You hear a young voice call out across the crowd, "Come on over and place your bets!"
[color=white]|||||[/color]Curious, you walk over to see two young ones behind a booth that has been carefully painted with a large Windsinger across its top, and swirling patterns of green along its sides. A harpy teenager is the one calling out for attention, while a Nocturne child is delicately writing something down. Both of them are decked out, the harpy with immaculate face paint in swirls of green, and the Nocturne with bolts of blue silk across his form and blue feathers added to his wings. The Harpy spots you looking their way.

[color=white]|||||[/color]You walk over, curious, and inquire about the bets.
[color=white]|||||[/color]"Well, it's simple! All you have to do is pay 5g/kt, and you get one bet. We're running this booth for two weeks, and you get a new thing to bet on every two days. If you ask, we can even send you a note when it's changed.
[color=white]|||||[/color]And it's really simple! You just have to guess how much of somethin' there is. So if we asked how many redblood flower were in a jar, you could say "Aster, I think there's...seventy-five." And if there ARE seventy-five, or if you're the closest guess, you get a prize!"
[color=white]|||||[/color]Aster- you're guessing she's Aster- is getting more excited as she goes, and you feel yourself drawn into the excitement.
[color=white]|||||[/color]"And no matter how close or far away your guess is, we're gonna keep track, and we're running a BIG raffle at the end!" Aster throws her wings out at this. "Today's actually the first day, and Attie here can let you know what we're doin'!"

[center][color=green][size=7]The Rules[/size][/color][/center]
Every two days, a new challenge is put out. The first day begins after rollover, on Sunday the 19th and ends at rollover on Monday. This event is running [i]through[/i] Mistral Jamboree. As the days go on, the number range gets wider. Each post will indicate the range to guess within.
Each guess, through the two weeks, is also a ticket to the raffle at the end. Earning more guesses equals earning more tickets.
The closest guess(es) win a prize. If you get the number exactly, you win a bonus prize! You can win on multiple days.
Five people will be drawn for the raffle. You can only win one prize in the raffle.
You earn your initial guess by buying a ticket for 5kt/g. You can earn more guesses fulfilling a "bribe". Bribes include things like a specific familiar, amounts of food, hibden items, etc. The bribes change every day. At least two bribes will be available.
All ticket purchases and daily bribes should be PM'd to me, [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/msgs/new?to=oneluckyduck]oneluckyduck[/url]. EDIT: Please put your guess in the PM, but also feel free to post it here. :)
RP is encouraged, but does not affect gameplay. If you want to RP a law-abiding character, while filling all the bribes? That is perfectly fine! And you do not have to RP with the same dragon each time.
I am subscribed to the thread, but if you have ANY questions please feel free to ping me!

It is the LAST DAY! If you haven't sent in any guesses, now's the time to be eligible for the final raffle.
And about the final raffle. Once all of the tickets have rolled in, I am going to draw for the big prizes. The final raffle is just a straight "more tickets, higher chance of being drawn" go, no guessing needed. I'm going to do one last big ping when announcing the winners! Thank you all for going on this little journey with me, Aster, and Attie. :)
