Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.22 09:38:00 - [1] Please visit your user settings to re-enable images. This a lottery for a Tempest Tribal Issue battleship (info). There is only 4 of these ships in-game and it is valued to over 80 billion ISK. Basic lottery information You will be purchasing tickets for 10 million ISK each, no limit to the amount of tickets. There are 10,000 tickets, in total returning 100 billion ISK, but I may chose to close the ticket sales at an earlier point if I see the interest decreasing and thus speeding up the end of the lottery and faster annoucing of a winner. Prize: Tempest Tribal Issue, Minmatar fittings Number of tickets in total: Between 7,500 and 10,000 depending on interest (lottery will be closed when reaching 10,000) Lottery ends on Wed, May 13th, 18:00 or when 10,000 tickets has been sold. How will a winner be picked and how can we verify the winning number? As there will be somewhere around 7,500 to 10,000 tickets in total I've chosen to simply put all the pilots into a database, and upon picking winner simply running a select statement ("select pilot from tickets order by newid()" - MSSQL), and the name that comes up is the winner. While you cannot verify this via external sites and/or media it simply comes down to trust. Cool, so how do I get tickets? Buying tickets is simple, each ticket cost 10 million ISK and you can buy as many as you would like. Simply send the amount of ISK for your wanted number of tickets to me - Chribba (ensure that you type it correctly) AND - and this is important! - Add the message TRIBAL in the reason line of the ISK dialog, the message will enable me to track your ticket and insert it into the drawing database properly. ISK that is sent NOT having the TRIBAL message will be seen as a donation to me and will NOT be a part of the lottery. You do not need to send me an EVEmail with the message, only type it with the ISK. Check your tickets here: Linkage Examples: If you want to buy one ticket, send 10,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason TRIBAL If you want to buy two tickets, send 20,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason TRIBAL If you want to buy fifty tickets, send 500,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason TRIBAL Of course you can send 10 million now and 20 million later, that won't make any difference, in total you will still have bought 3 tickets. So you can either send per ticket or in one sum, as long as they wear the correct message, the number of tickets will be correct. Tickets will only be counted in the steps of 10, for example sending 12 million ISK will still only be counted as one ticket, and 2 million ISK will be treated as a donation. Sending 9,999,999.99 ISK will give you ZERO tickets as it will be rounded down. IMPORTANT! READ THIS TWICE! Tickets cost 10 million each. ISK needs to be sent to Chribba with the reason TRIBAL - in ISK dialog, not EVEmail. A confirmation is available here, so you can see how many tickets you have purchased and that your name is in the database. The data is imported on regular intervals via the API so it may take a few hours for it to show up. Good luck everyone!

You don't, you have to trust my reputation that I won't. Nor do I have any interest of doing so as it would pur an end to any future ideas and events I want to do, and my reputation is worth many times more the ISK anyone could ever offer me


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.22 13:15:00 - [3] Originally by: Veritech knight hum, I admit that it might be tempting for some to buy all the tickets.. maybe you should put a limit on tickets bought for this one Chribba :) It has been thought of, however it was decided that there would not be any limit, as even if someone did want to pay 50B (or more) in tickets they may do so with the risk of losing it all if the luck is not on their side. Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.22 15:50:00 - [4] Originally by: Quazal Atreides is this your personal item chribba??? No, it was handed to me by the owner, the ship in my hangar ready to be contracted to the winner. Originally by: Jackie Fisher Is the prize located in hi-sec? Yes Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.22 19:17:00 - [5] Originally by: SMM Scotland1993 Just wondering will there be a isk prize if you cant fly it ? No. Unlike the mothership lotteries this ship can be contracted, so the winner will get the ship contracted to him/her regardless if he/she can fly it. It's then their choice to sell it or keep it. I know there are people interested in buying it so such a sale shouldn't be too hard for the winner to arrenge if that is their choice. Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.23 13:18:00 - [6] Originally by: threeDspider Originally by: MrAssasin if not make it 50 tickets :) those 0's can make some difference, huh. 6 tickets, isk sent. Also, advertise in GD plx(lol), all the regulars have already bought as many tickets as they can afford and ticket sales have slowed right down, need more tribal-issue-lacking people with nice fat wallets Help spread the word for faster ending and a quicker draw Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.23 16:09:00 - [7] Regarding the SQL statement, like V0ny said, if pilot purchases 10 tickets, he/she will get 10 entries rather than one single. And to the statement itself, the one stated is a shortened one from the one that is actually used as I don't wanted to reveal the table name. But the full statement that is executed is: SELECT TOP 1 FROM theTableName WHERE MESSAGE = 'TRIBAL' ORDER BY NEWID() theTableName obvsiously replaced with the real name. NEWID() is MSSQL's variant for returning random entries, and the "TOP 1" is MSSQL's statement to return one single record ("LIMIT 1" on the end in MySQL iirc). While I could leave out TOP 1 and simply read the first name coming up or displaying just a single entry with "TOP" doesn't really matter imo as if I wanted to do a selective drawing I could just skip the whole database query all over. My apologies if my description of the database query was vauge, I blame the character limit of a post that made me shorten it a bit. Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.24 08:01:00 - [8] I am happy to say that we just passed 7,500 tickets, meaning the ticket reserve has now been met (and I don't have to spend hours to reverse 1000's of transactions ). So keep spreading the word and we hopefully can get a winner this weekend! Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.24 12:48:00 - [9] Originally by: bomber80133 Any intentions of having the other faction ships(Raven State Issue etc.) in prices in further lotteries or something ? As posted just before me, unless someone is willing to get rid of theirs the chance looks very slim, but of course I will always keep an eye open for anyone wanting to get rid of theirs and we might have the chance for another lottery Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.24 14:43:00 - [10] All tickets has now been sold. A winner will be draw as soon as the last import has been made and the extra tickets have been refunded. Thank you everyone! Win a Tempest Tribal Issue for 10M ISK

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.24 22:51:00 - [13] Originally by: Drash Kammatarr Now that the Lottery is over, I wonder what Chribba is going to do next with 100 billion more ISk :) Nothing as the ship was not mine and thus everything except my fee was sent to the old owner of the ship


Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2009.04.24 23:35:00 - [14] Originally by: Giannamichaels What was your fee and how much of the 100 billion raised did the seller get? I ended up with a happy bonus netting me 5B. So old owner got 95B in total.
