Eury Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sorry if I sound like a newb, but can you explain the lottery system for the Secret Santa event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Like you throw names into a hat and then draw. Without knowing which one.I don't remember how that's called, also it's like 5 in the morning lol.XD EDIT: Also known as random.Yeah. ._. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eury Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 So, for example, I put Death Metal, Dismal Euphony, and Dark into the hat, Dark is chosen at random, so I make Dark a gift without him knowing? And how would people receive their gifts, via PM? I must sound like a newb right now. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D:[/quote'] It works best if those running the Secret Santa first draw the name of the person giving the gift and then draw the name of the person they are giving the gift to.Simply make a list with the various names, and removing them completely from the hat as they are used in both instances and redrawing whenever someone is chosen for either position more than once. That way, we don't have 1 person giving 20 gifts or 1 person recieving 20 gifts. Gifts would either be given via PM to the recipient or those in charge so that they may post them. To the recipient would make it more personal, but to those in charge continues the whole 'secret' part of the event. However, if presents such as points or reps are allowed, then it'd be kinda hard to get that all done through those in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I don't want a Christmas event.--- The event should incorporate the whole forum (or at least the active members), so dueling or GFX is thrown out. What I was thinking is that the mods come to an agreement and choose six members (one for General, Video Games, the rest of Multimedia, Custom Cards, Graphic Design and the Anime one) to post threads. I say six members because it's obvious if a mod posts a thread. Then, the mods give a clue to one thread. Once a member gets to that thread, there will be a clue to another thread. Ending with the sixth thread. The first x amount of people to post in that thread with a certain code (explained later) will get [insert prize here]. So, for example: 1.) The mods choose Dark, Dismal, Brushfire, Dark Phoenix, Felix, Xazeon.2.) Each member is assigned to a thread. Dark, General. Dismal, Multimedia. Brushfire, Anime. Dark Phoenix, Custom Cards. Felix, Video Games. Xazeon, Graphic Design.3.) Then, the mods decide on an order that the threads should be visited in. Graphic Design, Anime, Multimedia, Custom Cards, Video Games, General, for example.4.) The mods tell the members to post a certain thread in their respective section. To make it less obvious, the members can add their own touch to the thread.4a.) The first five threads must contain clues to the next thread. For example, Dismal will have to post a clue in his thread saying, "Listen to this new band: they are called CC. They have some interesting songs, but I am awestruck by their lead singer. Not by his voice, but by his kick-ass phoenix jacket." The clues shouldn't be bolded, but the bolded text is referring to Custom Cards (section), Awe (card in the thread) and Dark Phoenix (topic creator).4b.) Each thread must also have an out-of-place word. All six of them. For example, in a Video Game thread: "Finally, this game has amazing sidescrolling features baseball. So, buy it!" Baseball is the out-of-place word. Once you have visited all six threads, the words will formulate a sentence that you have to post.5.) Before the event, the mods give a clue to where the first thread is, the TC, et cetera. This may be a bit like the treasure hunt, I'm not sure.

CinnamonStar Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Eh if you don't want one then don't post?But you wrote this down so I guess you do.=DAnd yeah the treasure hunt works like that, except with mods editing old posts of them in their section but maybe we could do both. This and the posts editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
