Why are we paying for DONATIONS?--Łô√ë îğá turkey 06:26, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Because you're fat [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:29, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not entering until either the payments are used to buy something from someone besides Felix (which would basically be free money for him) or the fee is wiped.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Turkey!]]îğá turkey 06:43, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * This seems as good a time as any to mention my program (specifically built for this sorta thing) without any provocation whatsoever. [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 06:46, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * What program?--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Turkey!]]îğá turkey 06:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Giga, that's how a raffle works. Or would work, except that everyone who enters gets a consolation prize, so I probably won't break even. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:48, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The money from a raffle entry is used to buy the thing that the winner gets, not to compensate a donator.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Turkey!]]îğá turkey 06:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 06:50, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You want it, find it. It's really easy, I'll even throw you a bone: It's on my userpage.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 06:58, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I already downloaded it, lul. [[Image:Felix_Omni_Signature.png]] 07:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry RH, but I am unpwnable. Also, nty to your program, Arbitrarily assign number slots and use any old random number generator, and designate the previous winner as void and just reroll as needed.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Turkey!]]îğá turkey  07:06, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * (Reset indent) K so, the way it works is, everyone chips in 1k in order to reimburse the person giving an item to the winner. If the winner doesn't want your item, then you get your item back and there's nothing to reimburse for. The winner can also just take the cash if they want to buy something not on the list. --Shadowcrest  07:05, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * (following the rules of chat unlike someone) ::in House's voice:: Yeah, but my way is easier.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 07:13, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * (RI)Fuck conformity. I follow my own rules.  Since when is easier better?  EDIT, wait that would imply I follow rules.  Disregard the middle bit.--Łô√ë [[Image:Gigathrash_sig_G.jpg|Fear.]]îğá†ħŕášħ  07:14, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * (EC) Since Bill Gates made Windows 3.0 and became the richest man in the world. Theres a reason there are wikis, because that philosophy is a very valid one.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 07:16, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

I have changed the rules of the game to be more like an actual raffle/lottery. Also, I don't know how the random winners are going to be chosen, but RH's program looks as good as anything. (T/C) 14:11, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Choose them with /roll, obviously. Go by the signup list, or sell numbered tickets. --◄mendel► 02:53, 29 November 2008 (UTC) & 02:54, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * What if everyone can't make it at the same time? --Shadowcrest  02:53, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Use GW's roll function like Mendel said, but everyone doesn't have to make their own roll. Start with /roll 13 or whatever, first number it chooses is 3rd prize. /roll 13 again, second (different) number is second prize etc. Silver Sunlight [[Image:SSunlight.jpg|18px]] (T/C) 10:20, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
