Hi, everyone! This is a small free raffle offering just treasure as prizes. (This is a reused thread; there has been one raffle prior to this.)
Currently, there are four prizes:  200,000, 100,000, 100,000 and 50,000.
Tentative end date: Monday, October 22nd at 05:00 FRT
- How It Works -
There will be one winner for each prize. Winners will be drawn with random.org from the username pool of people who entered the raffle. So, the free entry gets you one "ticket." If you participate in the (also free) bonus tickets activity, your name will be entered into the pool two more times, i.e. you'll end up with three "tickets" total. Three is the maximum.
- How to Enter -
Please fill out this Google form to enter the raffle. It basically just asks for your username and checks whether you qualify for bonus tickets. If you'd like to participate in a bonus tickets activity, please do that before filling out the form (because it'll ask for a link to your post).
If you can't access Google Forms, please let me know and I’ll send you the questions via PM.
- Pinglists -
It's probable (emphasis probable; more info in the "Notes" section) that I'll reuse this thread to hold more free treasure-only raffles like this one, although I don't know any details yet - other than that the main prize would not be less than 50,000 treasure.

[size=4]Because I for some reason feel the need to specify all this, here's some notes that are basically informal-to-the-point-of-being-useless equivalents of a "Terms of Service" + "Privacy Policy" (I know, it's weird).[/size]
[size=3]Last edited [b]Oct 13, 2018[/b] (past version archived [url=http://archive.today/2018.10.10-024315/http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/2530894/1][b]here[/b][/url])
This thread/raffle is here partly because, well, I just want to do this, but mainly because of an experiment I'm conducting on my own behavior. The main effect of this being an experiment is that future raffles/events/giveaways in this thread will likely be [b][i]the definition of unpredictable.[/i][/b] Will there be one more raffle after this, and then nothing ever again? Will there be six back-to-back raffles starting from now, but then no events at all for the next four (or seven, or fourteen...) months? Will the next raffle offer a total of 50kT or 250kT, and will that be divided into multiple prizes or not? I have no idea.
Essentially, everything is uncertain. I will never know the "when"s, "what"s and "how"s of future events. Even if I establish something very much resembling a schedule, please don't assume there is one. I'd probably disappoint you. ^^;
Other than that, since the whole "experiment" thing is a little unusual, I'd like to clarify what exactly I'm doing (or rather, not doing) with your information. I promise that:[/size]
[LIST]
[*][size=3]You, the raffle/event/giveaway participants, are not "test subjects" in any way, shape or form.[/size]
[*][size=3]None of information you provide to me will be analyzed, gathered as data, shared, or used for any purpose unrelated to the events in this thread.[b]*[/b][/size]
[*][size=3]To put it simply, any raffles, events and giveaways in this thread will be due to a "neutral or slightly positive" outcome in my ongoing experiment. So, in essence, events in this thread will be things I want to do or at least don’t mind doing.[/size]
[/LIST]
[size=3][b]*[/b]I probably will gather and analyze the data for purposes [i]related[/i] to the events, e.g. if I end up holding more than a few raffles in the future, I might compile an archival post in this thread with a list of previous winners, the median number of entrants in a single raffle, etc.
I hope nothing in this section throws anyone off, but if you have concerns I haven't addressed or you think something can be written more clearly, please let me know.
Thanks for understanding! :)[/size]

- You, the raffle/event/giveaway participants, are not "test subjects" in any way, shape or form.
- None of information you provide to me will be analyzed, gathered as data, shared, or used for any purpose unrelated to the events in this thread.*
- To put it simply, any raffles, events and giveaways in this thread will be due to a "neutral or slightly positive" outcome in my ongoing experiment. So, in essence, events in this thread will be things I want to do or at least don’t mind doing.
*I probably will gather and analyze the data for purposes related to the events, e.g. if I end up holding more than a few raffles in the future, I might compile an archival post in this thread with a list of previous winners, the median number of entrants in a single raffle, etc.
I hope nothing in this section throws anyone off, but if you have concerns I haven't addressed or you think something can be written more clearly, please let me know.
Thanks for understanding! :)

Me being neither BBCode-savvy nor spreadsheet-savvy, the formatting of the self-editing pinglist was heavily inspired by a pinglist sheet @/kriski created, and the coding in this thread was heavily inspired by the code @/Wildness created for a series of Nature profit push event threads (which I was a part of).
If something isn't working properly, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it. I do know this thread looks pretty bad on mobile - sorry about that! ^^;
