With a great deal of thought, Renegade Regiment is going to go to a 50/50 raffle format. I will keep this post up-to-date anytime there is a change, although this system has been worked on a great deal to allow the guild to still turn a profit for securing a guild trader while still allowing for a decent prize pool.
For this week ending 7/23, we will finish off with one last 80/20 guild lotto and pull numbers until there is at least one winner!
Afterwards, I will be discontinuing the lotto and converting to a raffle from this point on.
INFORMATION:
Every Sunday at 8p.m. EST, we will run a guild raffle. Every ticket cost 1,000 gold which will be purchased passively when you donate to the guild bank. You can purchase infinite raffle tickets and you don't need to do anything other than donate to the guild bank!
Q: How do I enter?
A: To enter, just deposit gold in increments of 1,000g to the guild bank. Delmerik will keep track of all entries. If you donate 5,000g, you receive 5 entries with no max to how much you can donate! NOTE: If you donate 1001-1999 it will only count as 1 ticket.
Q: How is the pot divided up?
A: We are doing a 50/50 ratio raffle. This means the guild retains 50% of the donations while the pot(50%) is split into 3 tiers.
•First Place - 25% of the pot + Items in the pot
•Second Place - 15% of the pot + Items in the pot
•Third Place - 10% of the pot + Item in the pot
The items are divided up by value. Higher value items go to higher placed winners.
Q: How/when are the winners chosen?
A: We will choose the winners using random-ize.com/pick-from-list/
The winners will be chosen every Sunday at 8p.m. EST through a short twitch stream for legitimacy.

Q: How do I donate items to the prize pool?
A: Send any items you wish to DONATE to the prize pool to The SoCo Kidd. You can either send them to him in mail or contact him via Xbox message and do it directly.
Q: How can I just be awesome and donate to the bank directly without it being added to the prize pool?
A: Send an in-game message to Delmerik/The SoCo Kidd with the title "Donation" & the attached gold.
Q: How do you keep track of entries so members don't accidently get overlooked?
A: I will keep a personal list of entries that is updated almost daily. This list will then be copy/pasted into the randomizer to find a winner. Entries will be placed in the order they are received. This will also allow for us to keep better track of guild members who may not appear active so that they don't get removed.
I'm trying to keep this run down as simple as possible to avoid confusion. If there is anything I missed, please let me know here. If there are any suggestions, also post them here. Keep in mind, high end trading guilds do this same system with one mild adjustment; they typically do either a 20/80 or 30/70 raffle. Based off the numbers I saw and the fact that trading isn't our guilds primary focus, I feel that a 50/50 system is much more fair for both the guild and it's members.
