RAFFLE!!!

So after some serious thought and consideration, I have decided to have a HUGE raffle. I did very well on my taxes this year, so I'm going to raffle off Nuggets to buy Premium Memberships to 4 Winners and 100 Nuggets to a 5th.
Prize 1: 1 year membership -

x 8000
Prize 2: 6 month membership -

x 4000
Prize 3: 1 month membership -

x 800
Prize 4: 1 week membership -

x 250
Prize 5: 100 nuggets -

x 100

There are some goals that I have set to reach, and once they are reached I will be using random.org to raffle out the prizes.......

what i originally said

Show hidden content

LOL, i think you have a decimal off somewhere... and 5 winners? of about 13k nuggets total???

you are asking for 50.000 nuggets worth of gems alone and about 100,000+ nuggets worth of other items.

i hope until you change what you are giving or what you want out of this no one enters

let me know when changed and i can edit/alter my post

MUCH BETTER, i might even enter, but here is a SUGGESTION for faster results:

Show hidden content

DECREASE not only the prizes to 800,250,100,100,100 and decrease what you want to 10% of what you are asking...

granted you will have to do it 10 times, but with 10 times as many winners and more importantly much FASTER achievable goals. (with exception of ditto,odds are no one will give a ditto for such a small chance to win something)

What you are currently asking for, while 100 times better. it is still more than what i think you will be able to achieve in 6 months. keep in mind this site has 200-500 users online at any given time with less than 3000 online every day. you are giving away NICE prizes, but only 5 people win anything and these types of goals will take 100s of people to acquire, so odds are very poor which will get less people to donate more than a little here and there to hope for a big prize.

getting 3x what you are giving out is easy if you give out 100k and asking for 30x10k... BUT you are asking for more than FOURTY MILLION PDs... before you posted this in forums i gave many ideas/suggestions to you... main one being yes people would enter due to nuggets being the prize... BUT what you asked for had to be close to what you give out (a goal that you are still no where near. you are still asking for about 3x the value of what you are giving out). which is fine IF you do not mind it taking 6 months to 10 years to get. But it was my understanding you wanted this to start/end in a months time or close.

MATH:

Show hidden content

11.25M (7500 nuggets) =15 gem types X 1500 each X 500 -the LOW amount the price guide has which is wrong on most.

1.5M (1000 nuggets) =2 gem types X 750 each X 1000 (actual value is closer to 1200 normal and 2000 fairy)

11.25M (7500 nuggets) =75 dragon gems X 45k each

total for GEMS: 24M (16000 nuggets) THIS ALONE WOULD BE ENOUGH for the 13,150 you are giving away.

14M or 28M? (9333 or 18666? nuggets) =200 boxes X 7 types X 10000. DOUBLED if you wanted matching box/key??? or 100 each?

add in the boxes and now total exceeeds 27,000 nuggets more than DOUBLE what you are giving away. the greater the amount you ask for compared to what you give out will take exponentially longer to get.

throw in the ditto, shiny, megas, vouchers, summons mega stones... and the ratio just keeps getting bigger and bigger. therefor longer and longer to acquire.

@Bishop True, he's asking for more than he's giving out, but isn't that how most people do raffles? And the LOL is a bit rude, honestly. He is a newer player, take it easy.

Most people send in much less than what they could gain, for the CHANCE to win. That's what they're buying. So, while the goals are higher than they should be, most people don't pay more than they COULD win. It's a collective contribution of players donating that fills goals, and the ones who don't win, well, they tried right?

So, while it is more than it should be, it's not as ridiculous as some I've seen. So please, instead of being rude, provide some useful information and suggestions?

@Totodile I would alter how much you're asking for, because that will take a LONG time to achieve, and most people will be hesitant to donate until there is a larger number of contributions. PP me for any suggestions you'd like ^^

I agree with bishop. I mean if he's asking for all this stuff he'd make a ridiculous amount more. If I had even a fraction of the stuff he is looking for id be able to buy a few years of premium.

I'd definitely lower the goals. I think you have way overshot and think users have the items. Most of these are really uncommon.

And I understand that, even I admit it's too much. But simply being rude, or at least giving the implication of rudeness, isn't going to help fix it. Tips and suggestions would be much more helpful.

I apologize for the goals set, as McCree stated still not very seasoned yet. The reason I actually set the goals so high was so that big money veteran players couldn't just come in and landslide over the newer/less fortunate players who wouldn't stand a chance. I just wanted to do something big and exciting for everyone who's trading their game won items whereas I'm paying almost $200 out of my own pocket to give away. I will edit the page and repost that this issue has been resolved. Thank you for your opinions and hopefully after some editing you will be happy to participate.

Title: what the......

i think this is fair, they are forking out their own money to make four random people happy. EVERYTHING apart from about what 60% of nuggets are worth something. All items and pokemon are worth nothing unless you buy nuggets from the shop. plus i dont see any other user doing raffles like this.

If I may be so bold to make a suggestion, perhaps making an easy-to-share hashtag would get the word out better. Though keeping it up-to-date with participation tiers/rewards will be tedious, it could keep information flowing better than what's going on now.

Just a question...

Must the winner use the nuggets for Premium Membership? Or can he/she use the nuggets for something else?

Just curious

@Vraxo I suppose not, once the winners receive them they are free to do what they want with them.

I really think at this point a time limit should be set on this... it's been going on for a long time, with few donations recently from what I can tell. Maybe end it soon?
