I'll adjust the total in the following weeks if I notice that its too much. I'd rather have a lot more room for players than short of it. We'll see :)

mhm two things

1) You cant short the numbers once the players start picking.

2) You may want to make a table of choosed number with the name of the player so that the new players dont have to go through all posts to choose a random number.

1. Yes I can. Do note I said the following weeks, not this week.

2. Sorry, I'm on/off forums for short bursts, so I'll have to leave that responsibility to the players.

It's cool, no need. Let's see how the first week plays out and I can adjust it accordingly next week.

Thanks everyone for following the rules, pretty easy moderating it now.

Just a few things, from a quick scan throughout the entries I've noticed one or two identical numbers. Please re-check if you've chosen an already existing number. There's an easy way to search if a number is taken already, will be posting it on the entry thread.

Also, I think I've come across one or two accounts that have join dates the same as the contest. Sorry, but as per rules, you can't be qualified.

614

Did I take 614 from u? Lol

If a non-entry post is here, that will disqualify the original entry and will be removed from the number pool. Please remember this.

Unfortunate. Everyone else was able to do it.

Elly?

What about people who have wrote a number already used?

After a moment its hard to check all numbers.

Whats their option?
Can they edit since we cant repost?

For example, eventough I was the first one to post reply in game thread with 888, tankaar on page 4 chose the same number as me lol :p
666 was taken twice also.

Yeah, they can either edit it or their numbers aren't qualified (the first one will be the valid one). Hopefully they check it out soon.

I have plans for a more organized contest next week learning from this one :)

Wait why?? I had 614 first tho:(

It's not the question of who had the number first. If he chose 614 as well, yours would have taken precedent over his, but you posted a non-entry post. Rules clearly stated not to and you'd be DQ'd.

Sorry, would have done it to anyone else.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to send a reminder that the first week of the lucky draw is almost over. Will be looking through entries.

Based on the amount of entries, 1k might be too much. I'll cut it to at least 500 in this week's, will think about it more.

Good luck!

Thanks Elly again for this lil event :p

500 numbers seems a good choice for a week event with your rules.

Deathpunch

11-06-2011, 10:09 AM

Aww... If it drops to 500 I can't pick Lucky 777's. I guess I'll have to pick 2/3 Lucky 77's. :D

Week 1 is over, the pre-determined number was 492.

We do have a winner:

Um 492

Please message me with your IGN so we can work out how I can give you the credits. Congratulations! :)

Week #2 should be up shortly with a few changes from Week #1.

A few entries in week 2 are either not the right range of numbers or are from accounts that aren't qualified to join the contest.

For those that see numbers that are from accounts that aren't qualified to enter, feel free to use their numbers - only qualified accounts will win regardless of who posted the numbers first.

Great Comp Elly :D

I seem to see it in the SL General Discussion area.

Think what Rod is trying to say is with the new Comp thread that has been added this is located under the Pocket Legends Title, though this can be accessed from the SL main General Discussion thread :)

Maybe a quick into in the OP for the people that are unsure, maybe a little hard to differentiate from the STS App. (Though Prize is mentioned as Credits)

A few accounts aren't qualified to be in the draw.

1. Joins on the day/after draw announced.
2. One-two posts only?

C'mon.

Ironically, even with a lesser number pool, there was no winner for week 2. The pre-determined number was 103. Some close ones, but not precise enough ;)

Best of luck for Week 3! Will be taking a week's break due to rl activity.
