re: Pax 50/50 raffle is back! Donations for the Guild bank!

We are talking about donating to the guild bank... let's get people donating with a 50/50 raffle! 

We did it in the spring where 3 people won, this time we'll have one lucky winner who will win 50% of the collected donations, and the other 50% will go into the guild bank and be used solely for buying a Guild Ship. (or guild stronghold if they tell us there is no guild ship).

You can see the raffle unfold here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsA7_438MFXJdGMybk1fdFRJRWlKQThVN2Y3RWdibGc&usp=sharing#gid=1

 

As you can see, one ticket is 1000 credits, and the more $ you donate at a time, the cheaper the tickets are.  For example, 1 million credit donation gets you 100,000 tickets, or 10 credits per ticket instead of 1000 credits per ticket.  

 

To donate, PLEASE send to Nwahs via in-game mail, not donate directly in the guild bank.  This way, I can keep track of the donations and how many tickets you should win!

Questions?  Please ask!

What is the maximum we can donate for the raffle?

Does the weighting seem skewed to anyone else?  Obviously you should get more for paying more, but the way it is weighted seems like it is set up to take money from those in the guild who can't donate as much and send it up to the members who already have a fair bit.  I'll be over the million mark, but just felt wrong so I wanted to say something.

I mean, yeah it does benefit the richer members as they'll have a higher chance to win, but unless we limited it, which would defeat the purpose, people are going to donate more and thusly have a higher chance to win.

And who knows what the winner will do with their funds.

well, the purpose of the whole thing is to fill the guild's wallet. keep in mind, unlike in real life, in this game we all did pretty much start 'equal' and have the same means to make money (give or take the time we have to spend in game or the money we have to buy cartel coins I guess)


 


I have no problem at all with someone who spent time and or real cash on this game to get credits to multiply those. especially as I personally see the possible win as a bonus, and the main point in donating for a guild ship.





GUIIIIILD SHIIIIIIP


 


 


also, I'd really like to join this, but I caught the flu and i'm not 100% sure when I'll be able to log in. I'll try to be around and send you some credits tomorrow, shawn, but I can't promise anything just yet :P

Yeah, this raffle works the same as...well...any raffle/lottery IRL.  The more you buy, the greater the chance of winning.  Even in an extreme example where one person swamped everyone else by giving 50 million to the raffle, that would be a huge win for the guild since that person would be effectively donating 25 million to the guild.  

 

I presented the above hypothetical because that is exactly what you should do, Kimia!

In the end, it still comes out to chance just like a normal lottery. No matter how many entries you have you only need one to win. I'll definitely be donating what I can, I does want a guild ship :D

I am open to changing the scale of how many tickets you get per donation so it isn't super weighted, but it seems most of the guild (at least those in this thread) are ok with how it is.


I saw there were quite a few donations this week and last week that went right into the guild bank and not to me, but I will still count those for the lottery

Looks like my tickets are wrong. Should be 200,000 vs 133,000.
