Raffle time

It came, it saw, it kicked our ass. Lois this is not my batman glass.

As the title suggests it's raffle time.

The draw will be done once again avec the magic random dice.

OK tickets will be £5 (I'm going to treat the money for this one in Sterling, the reason for this is that all the donations we currently receive are in GBP, conversion to Euros can be done with the click of a button) where £2 of this goes towards the eventual prize pot.

Donations will be addressed thusly. For the 3 month period leading to the next raffle your sub will count each donation of £5 as a ticket. But additionally you shall also be rewarded for having that sub. If you donate £5 each month as an addition to the 3 tickets you have bought yourself with that sub you will also be rewarded another ticket. If you subbed £10 a month you would be given 2 bonus tickets. I feel this is a fair system but please post if you feel otherwise.


Please post in this thread how many tickets you would like.
Here are the list of subscribers and hence the list of tickets that are already in rotation.

Code:
thatbloke	£15 = 4 tickets		PAID
Ronin Storm	£20 = 5 tickets		PAID
Huung		£25 = 6 tickets		PAID
ShifT		£15 = 4 tickets		PAID
BiG D		£15 = 4 tickets		PAID
Vibs		£10 = 2 tickets		PAID
Wol		£10 = 2 tickets		PAID
Razaak		£30 = 8 tickets		PAID
Marqo		£5  = 1 ticket		PAID
Mk1		£5  = 1 ticket 		PAID
Decky101	£5  = 1 ticket
DocBot		£15 = 3 tickets
SgtFury		£20 = 4 tickets
Taffy		£10 = 2 tickets		PAID


The tickets correspond to a £5 donation/sub with a +1/2 bonus to subs.
Does this seem reasonable to everyone? Please say now and say it loud if you feel this should be re-thought at all.

OK please put in this thread the number of tickets that you would like. At this stage I'm not taking any money however feel free to pay at the same time if that is your want.

OK people to get the ball rolling I shall be having 2 of these fine tickety things at £10.

Does this seem reasonable to everyone?

Seems reasonable to me.

Just to clarify all this in slightly different words (just in case anyone is confused... and hopefully not creating confusion!) ...

  • Each ticket costs £5.
  • For each month you subscribed since the last raffle, you get a ticket for each £5 of your subscription.
  • For this raffle, we're treating it as if it were 3 months since the last raffle.
  • As a thank you for subscribing we're also giving a bonus ticket for each £5 of your subscription. Thus, if you subscribe for £15 per month, you'll get 3 bonus tickets. Think of this as getting a free month's worth of raffle tickets for being a subscriber.

Or, in general:

Code:
(Length of Subscription * Size of Subscription) + Size of Subscription + Extra Raffle Tickets Bought = Raffle Money For You

So, I subscribe for £5 per month and have been a subscriber for a long time but I've not (yet) bought any additional raffle tickets. Thus, for this raffle, I get:

Code:
(3 months * £5) + £5 + £0 = £20 of raffle tickets = 4 tickets

Bob'll correct me if I've got any of that wrong. :)

Hey, ive been meaning to help thn out with a donation for literally years, i found you guys through alienswarm, and ive played many games over the years and spent much time in TS but somehow never got around to it. Ive sent £5 through the user cp subscriptions system.

Any chance i could get the azjol nerub Ts channel back? ... ive not played wow for 70 days, but a mate of mine just sent, on request, a scroll of resurection!

My plan regarding the draw will be at the end of the month allowing for a week or so of people asking for tickets and then a week of people getting paid/ giving me money :p.

Come on people grab some tickets, you know you want them. They are shiny and come in an array of colours, including whatever font colours you have on your computer.

Also sorry for the delay but the original post has now been updated to show the current state of tickets.
Stab your friends in this direction.

OK sorry again for taking a bit of time but wanted to leave it to allow people to pick up the last few tickets. I've added all the tickets to the list on the OP.

I plan on doing the draw on the first day of my holiday next week on Tuesday evening.

So start paying up. I'll start a thread later today to discuss the split of prizes etc but otherwise please pay up for those that need to.

Thanks.
