Excalibur Raffle

Saw this idea on the Balmung forum and thought it would be fun to hold our own!
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/f...ng%28LEGACY%29

I volunteer to organize/start one here on Excalibur if there's interest. PLEASE REPLY THREAD IF U ARE INTERESTED! If i get at least 20 replies here I think it will be worthy/fun. After all why let Balmung have all the fun?! ^^

I will:
- Collect gil and keep records in excel
- Start a raffle LS on server for participants
- 5,000 gil per ticket (minimum 250,000 pot, or return money)
- Use the RANDBETWEEN(x,y) function 5 times to select the top 5 winners
- Start a youtube channel to record the random number generation process so everyone can audit true randomness
- Distribute prizes for the top 5:
#1: 75% of pot
#2: 20% of pot
#3: 5% of pot
#4: 1 random philo tome item
#5: 1 random item

Fair disclosure: I'd also like to take 5% "gambling tax" for every ticket sold--fair comp for all the trouble (>^.^)>

And here is how you kill a raffle before it even starts, folks.

hehe then do it for free!! I'm in :) dont wanna put in the effort unless there's something in it... it is a casino activity after all, i am not so good hearted to do it for nothing.

It sounds like a fun idea but there's such a massive issue of trust, that said though, 5k isn't that much.

I guess thats vote #1 :) Prolly wont get enough interest to start this unfort.
Agree that its hard to give/get trust... though sad state of humanity when confidence/trust is lacking even in for fun virtual game money.

I'm interested =)

5k isn't much...it's a whole lot less than I spend on a given day for crafting materials. And even if I don't get mymoney back and we just feed your wallet, who cares?..seriously...gil in this game is super easy to make.

I'd put in 5k.

I'm in! along with 2 of my friends who don't forum hop lol.

5 votes! thanks for the enthusiasm, still 15 short so will keep waiting. *bump*

i would do it but not in the server yet so i guess i dont count
