Alrighty guys! I'm getting ready to set this thing loose but I'd like to get some feedback from you as far as the Rules and mechanics.


Issue Number 1!

I was planning to use my mule account for all donation/lotto/money matters. I'm wondering if that is wise or if I should create a whole new Avi just for this event? My mule is about a year old, and I thought people unfamiliar with either me or the thread would be more comfortable sending things to an account that's been established. But then I came back and thought well...maybe it would be better to have them send it to an avi actually titled RAGAT Bday Event or somesuch. I don't know. whee I can't figure out who I want things sent to. I know I definately do not want to comingle in my main account. In the end I think it would be safest for a completely new avi will password totally unrelated to anything from my main accounts. xd thoughts? help!

Issue Number 2!

Does it read well? do you get a good picture of what the BDay Event is about and how it will be run? I had a very clear picture last night, but when it came down to typing it up I got garbled. i really need more sleep. domokun Suggestions!! do you see any typo's? any better ways of explainging my madness? wink heart

Issue Number 3!

Should the winners of Grand Prizes 1 & 2 get to choose which they want? Ie the first number chosen gets the first choice etc. What I don't want to happen is someone who has everything to get the treasure chest when they wanted the art more and visa vera. *^_^*

Issue Number 4!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to need some Charity Screeners. I need to compile a list of eligibility Rules for Charities. What I don't want happening is a user running out, opening a thread and saying they are a charity just to be in the Charity pool. What should eligibility be based on? I'm thinking more of #'s of people helped, or longevity of the Charity. I know I want it to be at least a month or more old.

Issue #5!

Kind of along the same lines as the Charity eligibility thing...should i place a limit on number of slots to purchased? I have it at 10ish right now and if things don't fill up I plan to open up the limit closer to the closing date. I want to n** people buying up a ton of slots for themselves and instead keep it open for more to participate. That given, another thing I want to avoid is people trying to apply their mule accounts to the Lotto. whee I know it sounds horrible and that I'm not very trusting, but I want to keep this thing as pure as possible especially since I hope it will grow into something really big and wonderful. 3nodding

Issue #1:
I think using your mule would be fine, unless you think having one specifically named for the event is absolutely necessary; dun forget that if you did make one, it would most likely end up being unused after the even. It may not seem very important, but I dislike doing that sort of thing. >.< It's up to you, of course. Of course... I do see where you're coming from with the safety of your accounts. u_u

Issue #2:
Everything I read was well thought written, I didn't notice any typos, but I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb either. '''^^

Issue #3:
I think it would be better if they could choose, however, some people just don't appreciate the value of art. Y_Y

Issue #4:
I have no idea how to help with this one, I'm not a real charitable person. sweatdrop What I mean is that I dun hang out in the charity forums. xP

Issue #5:
There should definantly be a limit, And I would say that I still think 10 is too much, but then it IS 1000 slots. >.< Perhaps you could enlist a mod's help to filter out mules...

Issue #1
I think it would be better to make a new account, just to make sure nothing gets mixed up or anything...But it does kind of seem like a waste of an account. u_u; I'm not too sure...

Issue #2
I think it reads well enough. I could understand it, anyway. I think most people who usually are involved in events like this would understand it. 3nodding

Issue #3
Yeah, I think they should get a choice. Probably by the order their chosen...Like AB said, some people just don't appreciate art. u_u;

Issue #4
I think we need rules for eligiblity, but I don't know what kind. I'm no good at that sort of thing.

Issue #5
I think there should definently be a limit...I think 10 sounds reasonable...I think. >_>;

Issue Number 1!

Perhaps a mule account might be best, but make it for the RAGA, not just the birthday event specifically. That way you could potentially use it later on.

Issue Number 2!

I think you did a nice job of it. If you need help with anything, just ask me. 3nodding

Issue Number 3!

Definitely should be able to choose.

Issue Number 4!

Hmm... I don't know too much about charities, though I think as far as eligiblitity goes, you should make sure that the charity is
1) At least a month old, as you said
2) Has had a sizeable amount of people it's donated to
3) Is currently active (as in don't allow charities that seem to have died to try...)
4) Is organized and literate (kind of keep things legit-like)

Also, I know AnnieH runs a charity (Faerie Wings Charity) with some other people; she might have some better advice about it.

Issue #5!

Ten sounds reasonable. And I do think that if there's a lot of slots open as the end of it draws near, you should remove limits. 10 slots is 5000 gold, after all.

Also, you may wish to scoure (sp?) ways to do said lotto. smile

Again, if you need help, just ask.
