I am holding a lottery for our Sacrilege BPO - ME3 PE3. Each ticket will cost 1.1 Billion, and there will be 49 tickets issued in total. Tickets will only be issued to posters to this thread, and once payment of 1.1 Billion has been made to Leowen. The draw will be held next Saturday evening (20th June) assuming all tickets are sold by then. If not all are sold, I will allow one more week for remaining tickets to sell, meaning that the final draw would be Saturday 27th June. Once all 49 tickets are sold, I will confirm in this thread which draw will be used. If all 49 tickets don't sell, I will abandon the lottery and return all monies on 26th June.
The winning number will be the BONUS BALL drawn in the UK Lottery - Lotto numbers. There are 49 numbers in that lottery draw. The official Lotto results page is here
To enter, please post "I'm in" to this thread, and claim your number from 1-49. Obviously if your favourite number is gone then you'll have to pick another. Then send 1.1 billion to Leowen.
So, I guess a FAQ is in order:
Q: Can I trust you? Who the heck are you anyways? A: My rep is worth an awful lot more than 50B, and I'll try to get a couple of reputable folks here to vouch for me.
Q: No but seriously, couldn't you get Chribba to do this? A: I could, but then the ticket price goes up to cover fees. If I don't sell the tickets I guess my rep is cr@p and I'll rethink it.
Q: Hmmm 49 x 1.1B = 53.9B. Is this BPO worth that? A: Well the last one sold for 55B so yes, but either way, when do you get the chance to win a HAC BPO for just over 1B??!!
Q: Where is the BPO, is it ready to go as soon as the winner is announced? A: In Nonni, and yes it will be ready to roll.
So, let's give this a shot. Lottery is open now. Anyone who'd like to vouch for my integrity please post here (and buy a ticket!! )
Good Luck Everyone Leo

the only rep people listen to will be chribba tbh.
you will get more entrants with a high entry and covering his fees than u will without it.

You may be right, and if so I'll probably just ditch the lottery idea and just sell it because I CBA with the third party thing. I just thought I'd try this, if it doesn't work hey-ho, never mind. Thought it'd be cool to see someone get a HAC BPO for a bill.
As to who I am, the sensible thing would be to check out my contract and forum history. Industrial Giants until recently was EVE's biggest T2 Component manufacturer, I have about 15 T2 BPO's remaining including this one, and the 50B in question here represents about 3-4% of my net wealth.

You choose a bad time for such wording. Up until recently Ricdic was one of the most trusted entities among the industrial sector.
That said, I won't break your zero, but point out that I'm quite interested in the lottery as is. I'll keep an eye on it. Parrots, commence!

Tell you what... If you're serious about this, why don't you give Chribba the BPO to hold onto? You know, as a collateral. That way you can manage the lottery yourself, and I'm sure Chribba won't charge that much to just sit on an item.

Yup I can do that. Mailing Chribba now to query a fee purely for sitting on the BP. Will confirm...

just a idea but would it not worth to give it to chribba who creates a lottery for about 5300 tickets, 10m for each ticket?
that would give new players like me a small chance to get a sweet t2 bpo or the chance to sell it again and buy some other cheaper t2 ect. what ever
i would be glad to invest my hard gain mining money for a litte chance

I vouch for Leowen. He is a tip-top chap and my bestest buddy. And my alt. FWIW. We even look the same, cool huh?
As to thousands x 1m tickets, nah, people then question draw procedures and there are randomiser arguments etc. 49 x 1B it will be, it'll either work or it won't.

PS I appreciate most of you won't have heard of me either, except for the 2003'ers. Many of the oldies will remember me.

I'm willing to pay for all 49 tickets and just take the bpo, if you can agree with that. |

Edited by: LadyOfWrath on 13/06/2009 18:22:13 If needed I will act as 3rd party and hold said BPO until the conclusion of the lottery as posted above. My fee will be 0.5% of total sale or in this case total take. As many know I don't normally offer my 3rd party services publicly however Leowen is a very reputable guy and I don't mind helping out here. I hope all goes well with your lottery. Toss me a mail if you need my services.
LoW
Edit: I would recommend adding a purchase limit to the number of tickets.

Leowen, give it to Chribba, let him run his lottery, and perhaps even give a chance to "poor" players to own a BPO like this. Best of both worlds you get the ISK, a guy who never had a chance to buy one wins it.
Just a thought.

What is the reason for your firesale btw Leowen? I'm getting curious
And for the love of god, fire your advisor and get a new one so you can figure out proper buyouts. I take you are too wise to make these mistakes yourself? ;) You could just have sold this bpo for ~60 instantly instead of pulling a lottery about it.
However good luck if you turn to Chribba, I'll be on board. Cheers

I don't want to sell it, I want a lottery. I want to give the little guy a chance as Jinx said. Well put Jinx.
I've mailed Chribba and as long as his fee is reasonable I'll try this again via lottery. Watch this space.
This thread, meanwhile is now effectively killed. Watch this space, we'll try again.

EDIT: As to "why the firesale", it's not really a fire-sale, I've played EVE for 6 years now (on and off) and all that time has been focussed on industry and making money. I'm bored, so I'm downsizing. Just a bit, so it's not such a burden. Maybe I'll go do some serious pewpew, maybe I'll buy an alliance, who knows...
Wow, you spent 6 years carebearing in a video game? You must have an amazing personality in real life. |
