[ECTOs] ECTO BUY-IN JACKPOT #004


CONTEST INFORMATION:

What Is An ECTO Buy-In Jackpot Contest?
One Hundred Numbers Are Made Available For Eligible Persons To Buy Into. The Price That Is Paid For The Numbers Goes Into A Giant Jackpot. Given That This Is An 'ECTO' Buy-In Jackpot, The Price Per Number Will Be Paid In Ectoplasm.

The Contest Culminates In A Series Of /roll 100 Drawings To Select The Winner(s), And The Jackpot Is Divided Up And Given Out As Prizes. Everything That's Paid In Goes Out As Prizes. No Amount Is Kept By Either [ECTOs] Or Contest Officials. That Means The Jackpot For A Buy-In Contest Is Only As Good As The Community Makes It, So Let's Make It Huge!


Contest Opening & Drawings Dates:
Sign-Ups For Available Numbers For ECTO Buy-In Jackpot #004 Open Tuesday, December 15, 2009 And Will Continue Until Monday, December 21st, 2009.

Number Sign-Ups Will Be Open Until The First Number Drawing Is Done [Whether It's A Match Or Not].

The Prize Distribution Drawings For ECTO Buy-In Jackpot #004 - A Series Of /roll 100's - Will Take Place Sometime Monday Evening (EST), December 21st, 2009 In The We Farm Your [ECTOs] Guild Hall. If Demand For ECTO Buy-In Jackpot #004 Is Great And The Numbers Fill-Up Quickly, Then The Drawings Will Take Place Sooner Than That. Stay Tuned To The Official Contest Thread For The Latest Updates.


Who Is Eligible To Enter This ECTO Buy-In Jackpot Contest?
All Members Of We Farm Your [ECTOs] And A Few Selected & Notified Outsiders Are Eligible To Enter The ECTO Buy-In Jackpot Contest. If You Aren't A Member Of We Farm Your [ECTOs] And Haven't Been Explicitly Notified With Permission To Enter, Then You Are NOT Eligible. Absolutely No Exceptions To This Rule.




PRIZES:

1ST PLACE (1ST MATCH):
65% Of The ECTO Jackpot Total [Rounded UP]

2ND PLACE (2ND MATCH):
35% Of The ECTO Jackpot Total [Rounded DOWN]

Prizes Will Be Awarded To Two Unique Contestants. The Only Exception To This Is The Extremely Rare Occurrence Of The First Two /roll 100 Commands Matching Two Of The Same Contestant's Numbers, With Absolutely ZERO /roll 100 Commands Missing A Match. In That Event, Said Contestant Wins 100% Of The Jackpot.




THE ECTO BUY-IN JACKPOT TOTAL:

CURRENT: 149 ECTOS

CONTEST RULES:

1. NUMBERS: COST PER & MAX AMOUNT ALLOWED
One Number Costs One Glob Of Ectoplasm. Due To The Amount Of Members In This Guild And The Desire To Get A Large Variety Of People Involved In The Contest(s), The Maximum Amount Of Numbers One Person Can Purchase Per Contest Is FOUR.

2. POST-PICKS
Each Person Is Allowed To Choose Their Respective Numbers Personally (Availability Pending).

To Select Your Number(s), You MUST Make A Post-Pick. A "Post-Pick" Is Simply A Post Reply (To The Corresponding Contest Thread) With Your In-Game Name And Which Numbers You Choose. Number 'Dibs' Made By Ventrilo, In-Game Chat, Another Forum Thread, Or In Any Other Form ARE NOT Valid. We Need Visual Proof You Called Your Numbers, And In The Proper Place. The Stakes Are Too High Here.

Intentions Of Number Exchanges (Availability Pending) Or Number Refunds Must Also Be Posted, For Archival Purposes.

3. PAYMENT
Arrangements For Payment Must Closely Precede Or Closely Follow Your Post-Pick(s). In Order To Make The Post-Pick And Pay Buy-In Process As Smooth As Possible For All Involved, Post-Picks Should Be Made When You Have The Attention Of An [ECTOs] Contest Official (ie. In Chat Or On Ventrilo).

4. PRIZE DISTRIBUTION DRAWINGS
Prize Distribution Drawings Are Done Via An In-Game /roll 100 Command. There Will Be Witnesses And Screenshot Evidence. Drawings Will Continue Until There Are 2 Matches Of The /roll 100 Command With Numbers That Contestants Have Chosen. The First Number That Matches Is The First Place Winner And The Second Is Second Place.

After The First /roll 100 Command Is Completed - Whether It's A Match To Any Contestant's Number Or Not - All Buy-Ins Are BINDING And FINAL. After That Point, No More Numbers Will Be Sold And No Number Refunds/Number Exchanges Will Be Allowed.

ALL THE BUY-IN JACKPOT NUMBERS ARE SOLD OUT! TIME FOR PEOPLE TO PAY UP!

People who haven't paid up by drawing time will have their numbers (and entry considerations) forfeited. It's completely inexcusable for people to not pay promptly after making number picks. It's in the rules! It's also pathetic that I have to chase people down to get them to pay their ectos to a Leader/Officer or to have them change their numbers. If people are having trouble arranging a time for payment, then send a PM on the forums to a Leader/Officer and we'll get it resolved quicly.

The Buy-In Jackpot Drawing Is TONIGHT!

The drawing for ECTO Buy-In Jackpot #004 will be held in the We Farm Your [ECTOs] Guild Hall sometime tonight (EST). Usually the drawing takes place anywhere between 8 PM EST and 10 PM EST, but a time will be chosen when there's a sizeable amount of people online.



Payment Updates: ONE MISSING PAYMENT!

Only one number has yet to be paid for: Imperial Healer's 83. If Imperial Healer's payment isn't received shortly before drawing time, then his number is forfeited and 83 gets opened up for grabs.

WHat time would it be in FL? We're GMT -5.

my head exploded.

Lol yes FL is EST. Geez. Silly people.

Darn. I'll be at work. Well fingers crossed nonetheless!

Steve I have collected Imperial's last Ecto. I will wait until you're on to give it to you so you can update the thread!

SORRY!

DRAWING IS OVER. RESULTS ARE IN!






JACKPOT TOTAL AT DRAWING TIME: 149e

/ROLL 100 DRAWING SEQUENCE:
1. 19 -- Match: Romanda Cassin (1st Prize: 97e)
