Why have a merger of the raffles?

Honestly, the Triumphant Raffle is not very popular and not many people have shown an interest is it. The real proof was when I held a poll about which raffle people would like to see go on weekly special pricing next. no one voted for triumphant at all...

Another poll showed people would prefer more tickets sold as long as the tickets were cheaper in pricing. Which I agree, people are more likely to buy tickets when they don't have to risk as much gold to just try.

SO as a result, merging the two raffles will lower the pricing on the master raffle and bring more popularity as now there will be 5 chances to win an item while spending less for tickets.

What changes will happen?

ticket pricing will come to a middle ground between the 2 raffles averaging around 620g per ticket. This raffle will also use a new raffle ticket bulk pricing method not used in any other raffles of the thread.

the raffle will total 29000 tickets now. Master raffle ticket holders thread will stay the same with the addition of posts to accommodate the new amount of tickets to track. Raffle ticket holders for the Master thread will keep their current tickets in the current positions.

Triumphant Raffle ticket holders will be given the chance to choose new ticket numbers or keep their current numbers in then new raffle as available.

ALL ticket holders will be given accommodation tickets based on pricing differences and inconvenience. Each entry will be addressed individually and you can check to see your accommodation for voting yes in the next post.

What if I vote no, what happens and will I be refunded?

Decision will be made once ALL ticket holders have voted. Each ticket holders vote will count as one and is not affected by the amount of tickets you hold in either raffle.

If majority votes to accept this new raffle merger you will be offered a refund of your tickets if you had voted no.

Those who vote yes may elect to receive a refund of any pricing difference or accept the accommodation tickets offered for merging.

If Majority votes not to accept the new raffle merger this thread will be closed and the raffles will continue as is. Nothing will change.

How come some people are offered more tickets then others for voting yes?

Accommodation will be offered based on each case. Those with tickets in the master raffle will be offered new tickets equal to the price difference of current amount of tickets they have and current pricing versus new pricing.

Those with tickets in the triumphant raffle will only receive tickets for price difference should the amount of tickets they have show need for such action based on new ticket pricing. They will keep current tickets as is which in most cases will be cheaper then new pricing.

ALL ticket holders will be given a gift of 10 free tickets for inconvenience, HOWEVER, Those who have been given FREE tickets as a result of thread games will not receive any compensation regarding those tickets other then merger of tickets between the raffles as they have not given gold for those tickets. Your accommodation will note any free tickets you may have.

I have another question...
If you have another question feel free to post in this thread ONLY if you are a ticket holder in either raffle and have received the invite to do so.

If you believe the total for your amount of tickets in each raffle is off please PM me and let me know.

Format:
Master Raffle Tickets | Triumphant Raffle Tickets | Accommodation Tickets Awarded | Finalized Total of Tickets In Triumphant Master Raffle

-----------------------------------------
NOTE: I can already see after doing this there will be questions about why accommodation tickets are off...the way this is figured out is by taking your amount of Master Raffle tickets and refund the gold according to current pricing. I then divide that by what the new ticket pricing would be to come up with a new ticket total...that total is then subtracted from the original number to come up with the amount of tickets you should have due to price difference. When people by less tickets they spend more. which is why those who bought the discounted pricing will have fewer awarded tickets then those who bought less (cuz they spent more essentially) also ticket holders regardless are awarded 10 bonus tickets for free for the annoyance of the merger.

I will use lan-neko for example:
294 tickets in master raffle
250 = 200k (x1 = 250 tickets)
10 = 9k (x4 = 40 tickets)
1 = 925g (x4 = 4 tickets)
in Total 294 tickets = 239,700g

now we use the new pricing to determine how many tickets she should have (rounding up)

101 – 500 = 635g per ticket

239,700 / 635 = 378~

so then 378 - 294 = 84 + 10 bonus tickets = 94 tickets awarded

I honestly don't care. I just threw my gold into a raffle here and there, I don't have my heart set on any one item.

In all honesty, if I had wanted to win any of the other items, I'd have entered the other raffles myself. Sorry.

I just wonder, if the raffles get merged, do I get to choose the numbers for the accommodated tickets or will they all be completely random?
