    Default Raffles and giveaways.

    From my end of things, I wanted to get some games to give away as incentives for donations. That way we can have people donate and for each milestone I would setup a raffle to get people to win games, codes for other things like DLC and other stuff.

    I have at least 4 to 5 items as digital content that I can give away for raffles. If you'd like to donate any stuff (preferably digital content like Steam codes or games you can gift.) to have them raffled at the marathon just post here, but don't say what you're giving away we'll keep it a surprise.

    I got 2 Starcraft II trial codes to give away, I am too lazy to make new accounts and use them so you can raffle them off or give them away.

    I'm glad you brought this up Zeldrak! I've been trying to give more attention to the raffle of the "special game" I plan on raffling off at $10,000. But no administrator, moderator or broadcasters have payed attention to it. Perhaps if I told them more about it they might...

    I might take responsibility for these if the other casters are too busy with MP games.

    About the PS2 games, if you mail them to the person yes. You need to tell what region they are from, though.
    NTSC, PAL, or NTSC-J

    You can PM me for more details and how to organise this.

    Also, Stealth, if i could have permission from you and/or Swift, I wanted to setup the raffles myself

    I would like to help you out with that Zeldrak, but you should really let Swift know since he is one of the main people organizing the marathon. Also, I was planning on revealing it a week before the marathon. But if you REALLY want to know what it is, you could always PM me about it...

    But I will say this, it is more valuable probably than all of the games people will raffle off, including Gulpy's pledge at $5,000.

    Yeah, the giving things away is great, but you guys have to keep in mind that too much is going to be overload and it's going to be a lot to deal with during the marathon. I don't want to discourage generosity at all, but if it ends up being all about what we are giving away then it'll distract from the charity.

    Plus, if people give to get to whatever mark and someone wins the raffle who didn't give it may cause some issues? Maybe a better way would be to pool the names of donators from the ChipIn and use those. Maybe not for everything, but definitely the bigger things.

    Just throwing that out there.

    I was thinking about something on those lines for the grand finale The others will be incentives to get people to donate and get them in th drawing for the last prize. I think it could work that way.

    I hate to admit it, but Viper is right to a certain extent. We have been overloading it a bit with giving stuff away. Whether you want me to give away that "special" game or not is up to you. I'm doing this because I want to help get us to $10,000. Anyone who is a broadcaster, moderator or administrator can IM or PM me about it. I've only told one other person about what it is and they've been sworn to secrecy.

    Exactly why we haven't done this the last marathons. It's sad, but true.

    If everyone wants... I can keep a list of everything donated and when. Then pool names for donations of say $5 or more. Upon reaching milestones.. I'll cast and reveal who won what. I could play "Raffle Master Gulpy" for a little while.
    Sometimes a little chaos is necessary.

    That sounds about right, we can make it like that i think, it should be a fair way to have the stuff raffled.

    Well, I've been doing some thinking and I don't know how it would work out for me and this thing I plan on raffling away. I say this because it could take away from what the marathon is trying to do as Viper says. And to top it off, no one has really asked me personally about what it is I plan on raffling off (the moderators, administrators, broadcasters). I think what I was planning on raffling off would be a distraction to the marathon considering it is "unique" and take away the real purpose.

    Well, it is a pretty big surprise I must admit. I've only told one other person. And they have been sworn to secrecy. But I fear that this game might be too much, it would take away from what you guys are doing in the marathon.

    I like this idea but I agree with some of you that it might take away the purpose of the marathon. This is a great charity and I am looking forward to being part of the MM finally.

    Gulpy has a pretty good idea, if prizes were to be given away I think thats the way to go.

    I want to raffle off a code for MM4 (keeping it a secret on what it is) but what should I do? Message the code to one of the casters? I've never rafled anything off before.

    Not sure if it's already been said, but the forum raffle system isn't going to work for milestone giveaways. There is no way of limiting entries to just donaters. Anybody with GO$ can enter forum raffles. Therefore raffles will have to be done manually.

    That's what I've been thinking Wayward. I'm seriously considering raffling off my rare game after the marathon ends because it would be extremely difficult to do so during it and I don't want to take anything away from everyone and their hard work. I was thinking about raffling it off a week after the marathon ends when Swift broadcasts the Saturday after it ends, but I might announce it on the forums if we reach $10,000. That's where I'm leaning right now.
