Q: Who do I send currency and/or items to for tickets?
A: You send them to me, @LostUmbreon! @Iceixient is another acceptor~
Q: Do you really have all these items in your Hoard/Vault?
A: 99% of the items, yes indeed! You can ask for a screenshot of proof if you'd like ^^ However, the other 1% that we are still missing you can find under the Ticket Values tab of the spreadsheet, and if you happen to have something we're missing, you can get tickets for it!
Q: I have some stuff I want to donate! What are you accepting? Do I get anything in return?
A: Awesome! Donations are totally appreciated! It's a case by case basis, however, so please ask @LostUmbreon about what you plan to donate first via PM. Essentially, tell me what you're willing to donate and then I'll tell you how many tickets towards the main raffle you'll get if you donate!
Q: I want to help run the raffle! How do I apply?
A: Sorry! But we aren't looking for additional help hosting this! We appreciate the offer though~
Q: Those higher prizes require such a large amount of tickets to unlock...
A: While the amounts are subject to drop if we've severely overestimated, the amounts are set so high because this is FOR PROFIT raffle. Generally the more tickets it takes to unlock a prize pack, the more expensive/valuable it is.
Q: What gave you the idea for this raffle?
A: I participated in a raffle in Jan 2015 for all the sprites and 2013-14 holiday items. I decided I wanted to do the same thing with the 2014-15 bears and holiday items. Some items are worth hundreds of thousands of treasure and, for as high a ticket price as the raffle tickets are, I feel like this is a chance for a few very lucky people to get a chance at items they were not around to get.
Q: If you wanted to give out these retired items so bad couldn't you have just randomly gifted users?
A: As much as I love helping newbies off their feet, I do have goals of my own I want to meet that require funds to do so ;u; I personally find it fun to host raffles, as I have hosted many previously.
Q: Are there people barred from participating in the raffle?
A: Yes. But users will never get to see who is banned from this raffle. Only Iceixient and I know who's banned.
Q: How will I know if I'm banned from the raffle? I didn't do anything!
A: There a 99.9% chance that you're safe. But if you are banned, we'll let you know. Your treasure will be returned to you if you try to buy tickets. If you are banned, it is likely because you have harassed myself or other users in previous raffles or because you are highly suspected of multi-accounting.
Q: Do I have to ping you before sending tickets?
A: No. It's actually preferable that you don't ping us at all unless your have a question/comment/concern or you feel that we'll miss whatever it is you're trying to communicate. In any event, if you DO have a question/comment/etc. then it's probably best to PM anyway.
Q: You say we can send holiday currency. Does it have to be Geodes or Snows?
A: You can send ANY holiday currency. That means you can send Eternal Snows, Shimmering Pinecones, Messengers Scrolls, Giant Sand Dollars, Bladed Flatleaves, Immaculate Tablets, Charged Sprockets, Glowing Embers, Magical Shards, All-Seeing Shrooms, and Deepearth Geodes. When NotN rolls around, you will also be able to send in Strange Chests for tickets.
Q: Can I send in mixed payments of different currencies? Like treasure and gems at the same time?
A: Of course!!
Q: I sent in an item you were missing under the Temporarily Tradeable for Tickets column but the item hasn't gone away!
A: If this is the case please let me know! D:
Q: What's up with the "Quick Tickets [Inactive]" tab on the spreadsheet?
A: Every apparel item that is not retired or part of the raffle prizes is listed under a ticket value on that tab and each column is arranged alphabetically. For a brief span of a week, these items will be available to you to trade in for tickets. We will ping you at the start of the week this trade in is active and the apparel you send in will count for the main raffle.
Q: Is there an ETA on the Quick Tickets week?
A: There are two weeks planned. HOWEVER. There is a set goal that we reach 5,000 sold tickets before this event is unlocked.
Please review how to get tickets for using these under the Bump Rules section above!
