it was a random number selection, this means EVERYONE had a chance to win to all who entered.
Personally i did not want to make a competition where the person with like the best gear had a 99% chance of winning.

The way i did it was to give a higher chance to players who did it at lower levels, but players such as I, who use axes and do not have "gosu" equipment costing ~20k could still have a chance.


so lets say only 4 people entered. (this is just an example)
Paparick: gets 5k at level 1 = 99 tickets. wins if number drawn is between 1-99
mclarke: gets 5k at level 66 = 34 tickets. wins if number drawn is between  100-133
Z_E_R_O: gets 5k at level 35 = 64 tickets wins if number drawn is between 134-197
phobiac: gets 5k at level 33 = 67 tickets. wins if number drawn is between 198-264
Total tickets = 264.
chance of player winning = amount of tickets they have over total (i.e i would have 34/264 chance)

Lets sat Paparick got the random number and it was 155, Z_E_R_O would win, even though paparick had the best chance to win.
It was explained fairly clearly

Just to let you know, Toomin got a 5k at ~level 15, which if it was as you said, would have taken the prize.

I'd have to agree Vicky is no random, and if some jsper told me not to get my panties in a wad, I would kick him MUCH faster and less politely than she did.  She apologized, explained.  OYGBIV

And while I'm ranting, why did Josh steal Daniel's profile/avatar/theme?  Or is it a common one.  Daniel's worn it for years, I always associate that avatar with him.
