There's a new raffle. You check to see what prizes it has, planning to just get a few tickets unless something really interests you, and there it is- Five Imperial breed changes. The ticket count has already hit 80,000. (I'm not sure what the rest of the prizes should be. Maybe some terrible obvious consolation prizes? A few stacks of light eggs and couple dozen Coatl/Wildclaw breed changes? A G1 XXX Obsidian Light Primal Imperial as the grand prize?)
Obviously, you spend all your treasure on tickets, and then all of your fairgrounds money, and then exalt half your lair and spend it on tickets. Gem:treasure rates drop like a stone as everyone desperately cashes their savings in on the chance to get one of those coveted scrolls. Roundsey's counter goes past the ten million mark and the raffle still has three days left. There are so many threads about the raffle and the economy that you have to go back ten pages on any forum to find any that aren't, and even those have been overtaken by raffle discussion.
Finally, it ends, and you check your inbox- One new message. Your fingers are crossed, you hope you're one of those five lucky winners, and nope, it's one of the other prizes. You check the forums. Out of the winners, one of them used it on their G738 XYZ primal. One of them refuses to sell and goes inactive a week later. One of them gives it to Crim because they don't believe in breed changing. One of them uses it on an actual G1, exalts them for a joke, and then due to an emergency is unable to recover them. The final winner is a newbie without a profile picture who wanted an egg and bought exactly one ticket, and the scroll sits unused in their hoard forever.

You jest, but that's exactly what would happen. Kinda like all the Roundsey dragons sitting in dead lairs now.

... not gonna lie, if I were the admin/s responsible for the raffles, I'd do something like that, but rig it so all the imp-related stuff goes to secretly admin-owned accounts. Then, proceed to cause chaos and hellfire, watching as the mortals below me rip out their hearts and souls in anguish. Make a video where I dropped an imp scroll in Baldwins Brew, set one in a forever inactive lair, DELETE an account that won a scroll.
As for the G1 imps of the raffle. Exalt them. Exalt them all.
(Yes, I'm joking)

You do get a message from staff congratulating you on winning the Roundsey dragon.
You check your lair, only to realise it was full at rollover.

I'm the one user who didn't buy anything laughing converting all my treasure to gems and buying Veilspuns and my own projects.
