Forum Raffle: What is this?

by **Jyo** Fri Feb 06, 2009 11:24 pm

The forum raffle is a fun way to earn points. The raffle is basically like picking names out of a hat.

The raffle will take place every couple of weeks. Before I explain how the raffle works, I'll explain what the raffle numbers are. Raffle numbers are earned by completing specific tasks or being a good member to the forum. These numbers will then be kept track of, and these numbers are chosen between 1-100 out of random.

The numbers that you obtain prior to the raffle can be used in the raffle at the end of every two weeks. I will chose 5(maybe 10) numbers out of random using a random number generator( A random number generator is an online tool that I can use to plug in a range of numbers and randomly chose how many numbers i want out of that range. Ex: a range of 1-100, and i randomly chose 10 out of the 100 numbers.)

Now, if a number that you have earned appears in the random numbers i draw out of the random number generator, you get to go to a bonus round. In the bonus round, I set a range 1-75 on the generator, and then i click randomize. The number that i randomly chose is the number of points you earned.

You get one bonus roll per number that came up. Ex: say i randomly chose 10 numbers out of a 1-100 number range. if the numbers i chose were 1, 23, 42, 56, 59, 78, 81, 92, 95, and 99, and you obtain numbers 23 and 42, you get to do the bonus round twice, and you add up both rounds to get a final tally of points

So basically, you can win big, win little, or just lose.

You put the raffle up, but what would the points be used for?

by **JakeSteel** Sat Feb 07, 2009 2:28 pm

True, we need shops and prizes and the like.

I think I might help with that if i get the job Wink

there will be a shop section, but there will be a top ten member group that deals with points and hopefully i can have little award icons made by an artist that can be next to a persons name in the top ten members group.

Edit: So the prizes for points are top ten members and an award badge next to your name, but if you wanna customize your own shop, there will be a type of "shopping center" if you wish Very Happy

I made a shop section, but it's mainly for customizing your own shop, but I might make a store myself.

by **Noble** Mon Feb 09, 2009 2:28 pm

Jyo, I think you should make only one shop with all members items to keep control.

Good idea

by **Justice Monkey** Wed Mar 04, 2009 10:08 pm

Yeah how did the United States of America last so long? Because they are UNITED. Now, if the shops aren't the United Shops of Jyoforumns, then it will die!

This is completely irrrelevant but I just htought like posting it elephant

When can we make our own stores?

by **Justice Monkey** Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:37 pm

when we can start gaining points I guess.

by **Natz** Thu Mar 05, 2009 2:44 pm
