Raffles & Giveaways

[center][font=Asul][size=6][b]Introduction[/b][/size][/font][/center] This raffle is for anyone who enjoys fandragons! It's a recurring event featuring either a dragon or genes to be used for your fandragon projects as the top prize. You are welcome (and encouraged!) to nominate characters/scries for future rounds. Winners are not required to make their dragons into fandragons. In fact, they're not required to follow the scry at all! However, fandragons are the theme of this particular raffle. Please ping me when you enter, and (if it's in a separate post) when you fill out your prompt sheet! I'm not subscribed!

I have an unbred Spider-Man-esque G1 that I'd like to see go to a non-OC lair. (Also, I just like seeing others' fandragons!) *Winners are not at all required to make their dragons into fandragons; however, fandragons are the theme of this particular raffle. :) [hidden title="Potential Prizes"] [hidden title="1st Prize + Scry"] [center] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/105660183][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/1056602/105660183_350.png[/img] [img alt=""]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=116&bodygene=326&breed=22&element=2&eyetype=4&gender=0&tert=18&tertgene=163&winggene=319&wings=136&auth=f3173363268fe8098b7eda0181133634864277c5&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [/url] [/center] [/hidden] [hidden title="Unlockables - 1st Prize"] [LIST] [*][gamedb item=39294] - 500 tickets sold [*][gamedb item=54469] - 1500 tickets sold [*][gamedb item=24311] - 3000 tickets sold [*][gamedb item=50008] - 5000 tickets sold [*][gamedb item=49359] - 7500 tickets sold [/LIST] Unlockables to be included with the 1st place prize. There will be more unlockables for non-first place winners as well, but I haven't yet decided what the prizes will be. Tickets are counted cumulatively/in total. The required amount of tickets is tentative; I'm hoping to at least break even (other prizes included) so that I can fund more fandragons! Not sure if there will be enough interest to unlock all the unlockables, but that's why they're unlockables. ^^; [b]Note:[/b] Winners may replace a prize with any other G/T marketplace item in its category (e.g. trading the Ancient Gene Parchment: Carnivore for a Tertiary Gene: Eclipse). The proposed items are just there to fit the scry. [/hidden] [hidden title="Other Prizes"] [LIST] [*]Coliseum genes/scenes. [*]An unhatched egg. [*]Prismatic Tokens. [Will probably have multiple winners, 1 per winner.] [*]Scrying services. [Will have multiple winners, 1 scry per winner.] [*]Marketplace/Baldwin apparel or familiars. [*Might be entered as unlockables, depending on their cost.] [*]Festival apparel/familiars. [*Will probably be entered as non-first prize unlockables; I'm just grouping them here because they don't need a whole section to themselves. ^^] [/LIST] These are general categories; there may be additional prizes per category (such as food, Baldwin materials, etc.) to round out their worth. [/hidden] [/hidden] [hidden title="Tentative Rules"]Participants will get one free entry each. Additional tickets will be available for purchase at 1 ticket : 1g : 1kt via CR. Free entries do not count toward unlockable goals. I'm not considering bump/advertisement tickets at the moment because I want this event to be self-sustaining (i.e. one raffle makes enough funds for the next, and so on). I'm not sure if there's enough traction for this to become a recurring event, though, so I [i]may[/i] allow them in the future. [b]17 October 2025:[/b] Adding a questionnaire-style prompt sheet as a form of earning tickets (1 ticket per entry, 10 entries each) to encourage people to share things about themselves/their projects! It [i]must[/i] be answered in order, though you can go back and edit your questionnaire as many times as you wish. Questionnaire tickets will not be counted for the first prize, though they are still eligible for other prizes. [hidden title="Questionnaire"] [LIST=1] [*]What introduced you to Flight Rising? [*]What are your current fandoms/interests? [*]Pick one of those interests. What got you into it, and why do you stay? [*]If you had to characterize that interest as a flight, what flight would it be, and why? [*]Favorite fandragon of yours? Why are they your favorite? [*][i]Least[/i] favorite fandragon of yours? Why are they your least favorite? [*]Choose an interest/character/etc. you haven't made a fandragon for. Now scry one! [*]Pick another user in this thread. If you share a common interest, say hi! If not, say something nice anyway! [*]Pick a [i]different[/i] user. If they have a fandragon you don't recognize, ask them about that dragon/its source material! [*]Pick yet another user and gift them something on their wishlist worth at least 20g/kt. :) [/LIST] [/hidden] [/hidden] Ideally, this will be a recurring event whenever I have the funds, and any proceeds will go toward the next raffle/opening. Each raffle will (probably) last 30 days. If anyone has suggestions (prizes/guidelines/etc.), please voice them! [center][b]Pinglist was here.[/b][/center] *Pinglist for if/when this gets released as a full event. In such a case, I'll revamp this thread, not start a new one. [/hidden]

Prompts 8, 9, and 10 [i]must[/i] be fulfilled in this thread as separate posts, and you must link to each response in your prompt sheet.

I actually have quite a few fandragons and think this would be fun! I also think maybe having a "customize your fandragon" option where you ask players to share their personal fan dragon projects - perhaps the scries you like best could even receive more tickets? It would be nice for us to be able to share a bit more about our fandoms. For example, most people who see this dragon here may not realize she's a fandragon, but she is! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/82580094][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/825801/82580094_350.png[/img][/url] And you could also tier the gene prizes as being like a sight vial worth x a primsec worth y and a tertiary worth z for people's on projects.

@Knuckle You're right, I would like to bring attention to more fandragons! But I wouldn't want to have tickets based off what I personally like—or even based on votes—since those would have biases toward my personal design preferences/fandoms and toward popular/well-known fandoms, respectively.

Instead, people could be able to earn tickets via answering questions about their fandoms/fandragon projects...? 1 per question, max. 10 or so. Hopefully, it'll encourage people to share a bit about themselves and their interests!

Regarding genes: For the 1st-place unlockables, I'd like the winner to be able to choose any gene/breed change/eye vial in the marketplace rather than having to research its worth. I think having tiered genes as alternative unlockables works well, though. [*This might change depending on funding. We'll see.]

[You don't have any obligation to respond to my thoughts; I'm just posting them here to get them out. I'll update my original post with these ideas later. ^^]

If you don't mind answering, what fandom/media/source material is Wuhuan from? She looks lovely! :)

@Fund Your Fandragons | Interest ...And we're live! If this is your first time seeing this raffle, please refer here for the rules! That applies even for people who were around for the interest check, since I updated some things since this idea was first announced.

Notably, free tickets now do count toward the dragon prizes, and prompt fills do not need to be answered in order.

[Note: This raffle has several prizes themed after spiders. Please view with discretion.]
