We’ve put the feelers out about running another Monster Raffle and dropped some ideas about how it might go down. All the Feedback has been really positive....and I mean ALL of it. It’s encouraging to realize that the SGS Community at large is really UP for a new Monster Raffle and ready to get behind it, so let’s make the commitment and get on to the job of organizing the details!
I’ll make a formal post from the account in a couple of days but I’m just going to spit-ball a couple of things here just in case there is something we hadn’t considered. I don’t like screwing things up, especially when I am representing others, so please forgive my caution while I think out loud a little and do a bit of a crude Brain Dump.
Apart from the broader community who seems up for it, I’ve been talking with Old Mate about dates and times and he’s right up for this too. He will once again be coordinating the Live Draw on the day with an early to mid July date. We’ve also lined up SGS Champion
to organise our first Prize Hub on behalf of Europe which anyone can donate to.
For timings, last Monster Raffle we gave 2 weeks for Donation Pledges then finalized the Prize List before kicking off Raffle Ticket Sales for another 2 weeks. That seemed to work and gave plenty of time for Promotion, though we will need to have an earlier cut off for Donations to the Prize Hub so that can still have enough time to put his Prize Pack together before the Raffle Ticket Sales kick off. So maybe those donations will only be open for 1 week.
The Discord is still set up from the last Monster Raffle though we had a problem with the Voice Channels last time and there was a bit of confusion I’d like to avoid this time. I think this time we might just do the one Voice Channel and just Mute or Kick people if they are too disruptive to the Live Draw. I reckon our members are generally pretty respectful and as long as we have the Permissions on the server to bring the hammer down (which we do) it should hopefully be manageable.
Anything else I haven’t considered? Speak up now because we are going to pull the trigger on this thing. Monster Raffle is a GO!
