Hello Citizens of YWS,
My name is Lottery. I am a regular member who has created a new account to go anonymous to propose a new project. I want to try and create a YWS Lottery. Please tell me whether you think the idea is good or horrible and if you would participate.

So the plan. Anyone who participates buys tickets by gifting points into this account. Tickets would be like 10 points a piece, 7 for 50 points. I would then laboriously write out each name, once for each ticket bought, on a piece of paper and put out them in a container. After a certain time period, a week or month, I would draw 7 names, 1 first place, 1 second place, 1 third place and 4 runner ups. The points collected from ticket sales will become the prize pool. The winners will share out all the points between them. Say, 1st gets 50%, 2nd gets 20%, 3rd gets 10% and each runner up gets 5%. And then it could start all over again.

Please give your feedback and criticism

I like this idea! However, I have like, 11K in points and I doubt I'm not the only one with a high number. I think a more unusual prize would be better because ... it's unusual and people would want itT! Or maybe they have to do something to be able to enter.

Great idea, lottery! :)

Thanks Blue. Perhaps to help the lack of reviews around ,tickets could be distributed for reviews of green room material. But I have no idea what unusual prizes people would want. Any ideas people

I don't think we can gift points yet...

Yeah I just realised that. My whole YWS life I have been living under false impressions. Do you have any ideas of what a suitable "unusual" (quote blue) prize could be?

When it returns I may finally have somewhere to spend my 40k of points.

AN AWESOME SUPER BACKGROUND FOR YOUR WALL.

that would be good.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
